fit for october challenge

mabrywynn thats very good news about your MIL im pleased things went well for you

AakifahSiebert it is never too late to join 15lbs in 11 weeks i dont think thats unrealistic it will take hard work but its possible anything is possible

ive just been looking ramadan starts next week not sure how well i will do fasting i made myself very ill last year but i would like to try to keep some at least well when TOM has gone away any one got ideas on a filling healthy meal that will have all of the things i need i wont be eating from say 3am until almost 9pm on the days i fast and the foods are always things like deep fried samosas onion bhajjis all the things we try to avoid or eat small amounts of so i want some very tasty but healthy alternatives

good morning and happy saturday
i finally got my lie in few hiccups like my son waking me at 5am to say he was getting up could he play on laptop and then at 7 when my daughter got up and asked same thing could she play on her laptop i wa slike mmm go away im asleep i gave up at 8 all 5 were making noise but 8 is better than 6 am anyday

Aakifah thanks for the link ive posted and hopefully it will give me some good ideas for food i like the walking for exercise idea i can do that at home and try to get an hr a day even if i do it in small amounts like 15minutes 4x instead of all at once

todays plans involve trying to get my girls to completely scrub there bedroom always takes around 4hrs and everything that can be moved gets moved and vaccumed and dusted ill give it ooo maybe 1hr before they make mess again but the workout from it will be good lol

have a great day ill check on you all later be good

Hi! I would love to join this group. My husband is on deployment till October so this is just the group I need to join . I just had our second son about 4 months ago and it is time for me to loose this extra weight and hopefully get down to my wedding day weight :laugh:

I am a little on the discouraged side :frown: , I have been working out almost a month now and I have only lost 2lbs. I have really been trying to eat my exercise calories but its been a little difficult for me to adapt to. I work out 5-6 times a week for about 60-120minutes. I do cardio (Zumba, Running, or Fast Walk) every other day and free weights and abs in between. I do see a little difference in my clothing but nothing spectacular. I have been eating better, but I admit not eating as good as I should... Does anyone have any words of advice? Maybe I'm not doing something right. I'd really appreciate the help :happy: . Also I don't have many friends on MFP I would LOVE to motivate and be motivated so please ADD ME :bigsmile: !

welcome aboard

do you use mfp estimates for your exercise calories or a hrm/machines in gym mfp can estimate way too high and if your eating them calories back ytou could be eating more than you burned
me personally i never lose eating all my exercise calories i prefer to eat a little to half of them and i seem to be losing at a slow steady pace

we`re a great motivating group so you should find some good motivation on here im losing slowly at like half a lb to 1lb a week i may even get near target by october its rather exciting for me as ive never got this close before and i do thank this group for that they have kept me on track and boote dmy behind in a fab way lol

good morning all happy sunday

ok not so happy if you have work tomorrow but kids summer holidays no school no summer school no plans just enjoying the rest and relax now

my plans today involve the never ending cleaning that kids create and possibly getting on the wii to jog if i can prise it away from kids thats the down fall to summer holidays trying to get my wii back from the kids is a nightmare they dont like to give it up as my daughter said we need exercise as well mum your soo mean not wanting us to be fit shes very prone to exageration but a week and no wii and im getting withdrawel there is only so much you can clean re clean and clean again before people start to think your obsessive compulsive

hope your all being good nelski you went missing again how is your weekend going?
mabrywynn do you have any low calorie healthy but tasty cookie recipes i need something sweet for ramadan but something that wont ruin the diet?
cdpm boot my rear if i havent been on the wii by tonight i need that extra incentive to move.
mindiejean how are you doing running?
charisse haveyou tried wiifit plus exercise there are so many and lots feel like games so you enjoy doing them and you burn calories at the same time?

good morning happy monday

cdpm i didnt get on the wiii its TOM and im prone to migraine one hit yesterday so i walked in my house managed 30minutes before feeling like i was going to throw up and my head fall off so i sat down hoping to do more walking today hoping to manage 1hr walking and some light cleaning combined with painkillers and a prayer for tom to go away please my head cant take anymore

apart from that hubby is fasting so i decided to join him and im making rice dish for fast open time at 9pm involves alot of veggies in veg stock simmered down and mixed with plain basmati rice and plenty of salad i have to food shop holidays might be more relaxing but they aure are boring with no where to go or nothing to do

have a fun day and i will be back to check up on you all during the day be goods
