Good Morning Team Uk-ers!

Welcome to SUNNY October!

For those of you who missed it, we had quite the revival of Team UK last month. Loving everybody's support of each other :)

In the old Team UK, we used to make a new thread every month so that it didn't end up with many, many pages and was easier to track what you had read. New members welcome at any time :)

I am having a little dinner party this evening, shall hit the gym first. I've finished making my strawberries and cream cheesecake and it looks like it worked out well :) Thinking of making thai themed crab cakes the thai fish with coconut rice. Wish me luck that everything works out!

    Good morning! What a lovely day it is :)
    I've got a bit of a cold, which is annoying, but hitting the gym this morning with a friend to try out Zumba for the first time! Very excited :D Have a feeling it's going to be a great weekend.

    Hi can I join?? I am Keira and from Surrey :smile: I have been on MFP since May- have got a few more lbs left to lose and need some encouragement.

    Am feeling very positive on the first day of the month. I ate like a starving pig last week- way over my maintenance on most days coz I (unusually) went out for dinner 3 or 4 times.

    I weigh in every Sat and amazingly hadn't gained this morning. My goal for October is to lose 2lb. Doesn't sound like a lot but at this stage I am happy to be losing 0.5lb a week.

    Off to Zumba and Body Pump in a bit- I always do a big workout Sat morning so I can eat & drink what I like Sat night :drinker: !

    Happy october and happy weekend!

    Gonna be a hot one - woohoo! Get out in it, catch some rays! :-). Im after a base tan for Cuba which is just over 7 weeks now.

    Went out last night in London, and somehow managed to resist the lure of junk food at 10pm when we were heading home having not eaten. Subway salad box to the rescue. :-). Lots of temptations (malteasers in the theatre, large glass of wine in interval, fast food for dinner - resisted them all). Had spritzers which helped. Im on a promise (so to speak)... My weigh in sat morning (any minute now!) - if i lose 2, my OH is taking me out 'all you can eat chinese' at my fave restaurant. Well it is spike day! :-) so wish me luck.

    No gym today, heading to the park in a bit to watch my gorgeous nephews play football (aged 7 and 11). Watch this space... Weigh in coming up..... Eek! God i'd lovvvvve to get another 2 lbs and get my 14lbs/1stone. :-). Gulp............

    Have a great day all, and weekend of sun. That cheesecake sounds divine, as does the jammy dodger one! :-)

    Morning All

    Been up for a while already and watching the sun get higher in the sky, hoping it's going to be another scorcher. Breakfast consumed and gearing up for a run and some serious training this week... Have the Men's Health Survival of the Fittest event next Saturday and am cacking it.

    Need all the motivation and support I can find. Feel free to add me...

    Good Morning All.

    I have just joined this site, so happy to find this team. I am Zoe and I'm from Birmingham (sorry don't mean to sound like I'm on blind date!) lol. Anyway I have so far lost just over 2 stone on my own and hopefully with the help of this site I will lose the rest. I will be starting C25K this week and I have also started the Insanity DVD workout. I hope everyone has a good weekend.

    Also if anyone needs an extra friend please add me :drinker:

    Morning all, this is supposed to be forecast as the hottest October day since records began so I'm thinking of having a BBQ!!!!!! That sounds so wrong, a BBQ in Blighty normally ends in rain. Lol I've got to get the patio set back out of the shed as with the wet summer in the north it was put away in July. Enjoy your sunny Saturday people.

    Feel free to add me. Xxxx

    Morning All, Working Day for me so planned out my food and wrote a shopping list because I got no food in the house. The Bookies I'm working in is next to a major supermarket. I'm working in the same place for two days so I will be able to shop and fill the fridge with the food I need for two days. Yesterday I covered two shops so took everything with me in a cool bag. How's that for dedication LOL Happy Saturday Everyone :drinker:

    Morning all, would love to join in, I'm Nikkei BTW! It's going to be a busy day today, going to a book swapping event, then to have my new tattoo and then need to fit in a session of Turbofire (though I do have to say I have never felt my ribs quite like this after yesterdays workout!!!) Hope everyone has sunshine filled day X

    Good Morning Team UK and what a gorgeous morning it is. Isn't it fabulous that everyone sounds so motivated. I'm doing a little less today after my 2 hour walk yesterday, which has left me with rather stiff legs. Supermarket shopping, some housework and probably some gardening for my day, so not exactly a rest day but no actual workout.

    Have fun in the sun everyone! Sam

    Good morning team!

    Got my exercise done early today (spin class). Off to London for the day today before early birthday celebrations with family tonight. We are going to a local Italian restaurant so lots of Italian meat and pasta to tempt me! BUT i have already had a look at the menu and have planned what im going to order. I love fish and they have sea bass on the menu tonight (my sister HATES fish so we don't eat it very often :sad: ) YUMMY

    I hope everyone has a great day!! :smile:

    Good morning everyone and hope you are enjoying this lovely sunny weather. Had my first lie in for ages and now just need to motivate myself to move. Going to go for a walk later and maybe go for a swim to cool off in the pool. Have a great weekend all :), Susan
