    You are all very organised with your plans to work out :O
    Maybe this is where I am going wrong, as I am not doing a specific programme, I just sort of workout as and when, my try something more structured.

    morning monday again :(

    i have 4 weeks today until i go on holiday and im not really anycloser to my goal weight but i have logged 145days woohoo

    bjshooter i havent any specific workout going at the minute since school started i dont seem to have enough hours in the day and more things going on im am having to log my spring clean even tho its autumn as exercise only that becuase things are being moved and items taken in and out of cupboards off shelves etc and walking while i do shopping or taking my friend places i need to get more organised

    on the plus for me today the ladies and babies swim starts again so im taking my littlest she will splash as i run side to side pulling and pushing her in water not exactly swimming but still a decent workout

    I am doing a pretty structured program, I have it all written out on a calendar that I put on my fridge. It does help me to see that I have a workout scheduled and I check it off when I'm done so I feel good about accomplishing something.


    So, Monday is here already?? Ughh. I had a pretty good weekend. I didn't go as overboard on eating and drinking like I usually do but I still ate too much. I think if we wouldn't have bought candy corn it would have been much better lol.

    The baby swim sounds like a good workout, have fun!

    baby swim was alot of fun i spent a good 30mins spinning around with my 2yr old and pushing/pulling her from side to side not sure if its a good calorie burn or not but it definatley was fun i also made a start on cleaning i managed 2 bookcases 5 shelves each emptied cleaned and moved around then everything put back on it so some exercise there as well i feel shattered now tho and my head is starting to hurt so painkillers and early night for me i think

    Happy Tuesday everyone!

    I feel good about today. I have been working out well for the last 2 days with a good burn and I've been doing much better on the eating front. I changed my calories down from 1500 back to 1200 and I have found that easier to stick to oddly enough.
    It's only one week until october is here and I am hoping that when I get back on those scales that I could have possibly just be on the right side of 11st (154lbs) Just to finish off this thing nicely!

    Of course shopping counts as a workout. The more you shop the tougher the workout too!
    Congrats on your NSV! Getting into tight jeans is a great achievement. I am still wearing the same jeans that I was when I was 33lbs heavier. Curse my thunder thighs!!!


    My day was good. Full of temptation and I thought I would give in and I did have one little sweet, but no more than that. Even better I have been under my calorie goal as well which is a pleasant surprise too.
    We just need to keep the effort up for this final push!

    Well I'm happy. My weigh in today showed that I have lost that 3lbs I put on when I went away for a long weekend. I'm now 154 lbs or 11stone - woo!

    It's a good way to end September. I may not be as fit as I wanted to be by October, but I have learnt a lot and I am going in the right direction.

    thats fantastic well done you

    i wish my own challenges had gone better but i have lost 7lbs since starting this i havent reached what i wanted or anywhere close to it but i am making better choices most of the time i just wish the scales would reflect it as i add more efforts it can be very discouraging when i try so hard and yet the scales fails to show the work but i am determined and i wont give up i still have 3 weeks left to my holiday and 2 days but im not counting honest lol

    TGIF i have another full day cleaning laundry and a 2hr meeting with ofsted who are doing the childrens centres and because im on th eparent panel and the advisory board they need to see us we get a buffet lunch thrown in for our troubles but i could have done with it being either morning or afternoon not plonked in the middle of the day where i spend more time in and out the house like a yo yo

    Good morning
    TGIF
    Great job on the loss cdpm!
    I weighed in and no change. I think I'm only down a couple pounds since we started this thread. I am disappointed because I have been working out a lot the last 6 weeks but I know that my body is changing due to the strength workouts and that I need to eat less to see the pounds come off. So I am accountable for my actions, just need to act on what I know I need to do. I just wish I didn't love food so much lol.

    Even though our challange was to go just until Oct I'd still like to come here to check in with you all.

    Have a great day!

    nelski i have 3 weeks until i go away and when i come back it will be november and im thinking do another thread sexy for xmas or somthing similar i need motivation long term and being accountable on here having to come and post makes me stop and think do i need the chocolate bar crisp etc so even tho i havent lost much i am making better choices knowing i will be on here and having to own up to any bad ones

    have a think of some names for the next thread in line for xmas/new year it will be about 8 weeks until xmas when i get back so we will have 8 more weeks to see what we can do weight wise and we have 3 weeks for me to boot my behind and get the scales to move in the right direction so keep kicking me in the butt
