Team UK - November 2011, new members welcome :)

Morning! Just finished a pilates dvd and now getting ready for work. . I'm hoping to reach my goal weight before xmas. I was hoping to have reached by now but I lose weight sooo slowly.

Morning everyone I'd like to contribute to the thread, i'm over in east anglia, I want to complete Ripped in 30 this month and would really really like to get down into the next lbs bracket (that'd be 5lbs off) but would LOVE to get to the 11stone bracket (that'd be 7lbs off).

I've not had any weight loss for weeks now and i'm bored of looking at the same numbers on the scales!

Hello! YES!! I know there's Movember for mustaches for charity - I think we should have Movemeber for Motivation November!!!

I'm trying to persuade my husband to take part in movember, he's not having any of it (his tash would put most men to shame in a month i reckon)


I like movember for motivation though

I'm IN. At least you'll get to see pictures of my awful movember tash!

Morning all...I'd just found this group the other week when suddenly all went boobs up in my house.....we all got ill and the diet was the last of my priorities but we're all back to full health(well almost!) and I'm ready to get going again:)

For those who do Zumba...my instructor recommended a website that can help you get a more accurate idea of how many calories you burn...www.zumbacalories.com it's a basic site but does the job

Can't believe it's November already!! It's my baby girls 1st birthday on the 11th!!! Eek! Where on earth this year has gone I don't know.

Now my goal is to be able to wear a dress for my hubbys xmas party without looking like a lumpy potato..so hoping to knock of 7lbs(minimum) in just under 4 weeks...shouldn't be too tricky so long as I avoid all the naughtiness lurking in the cupboards...willpower is something I definitely lack!

Ohhh HELLO November!! Where does the time go??

Let's make this month better than the last! October ended with a sweet filled halloween and lots of parties etc where food is in abundance! No use for us trying to lose some lbs!

As the dreaded XMAS is creeping closer i think I will try to lose 8lbs by then....which i think is achievable. I WILL fit into that little black dress

Problem now is .... cold wet days and dark mornings and nights = Little motivation to move from the warm sofa! So plan of action... get my *kitten* to the gym, at least it's warm and light there lol

Hope everyone else has a successful November!

Hey guys, im in! Im from the hartlepool up in the north east and just starting the push to try and lose another 60 lbs ( i lost 60lbs a few years ago and kept it off but ive still got a long way to go). Im actually really excited to get started. Hoping to lose a stone by christmas!

Doesnt time fly.... November already.
Had loads of little kiddies knocking for their halloween treets last night - none left for little ole me. LUCKILY lol. Nice that we can share the same shops eg Tesco, Sainsburys. It gets very confusing with shops and stuff from America. Also I find american weights confusing - exactly how much is 1 cup, 3/4 cup ????? I usually have to re-find calorie listings in grams. Oh - and can someone point me in the right direction as to what exactly, is Turbo Fire ?????

Anyway gonna seriously think about buying Christmas pressies early this year (yeah I say that every year). I know what to buy most people except my husband....... I have no idea whatsoever what to get him........Any ideas appreciated..

Anyway have a good November everyone.

well i did my first day of ripped even though i feel poorly!

Hi everyone sorry I went missing from last months post lol. I'm being driven mad by the fact I can't do much due to surgery last week they say I should be back to normal in two more weeks then I am starting the 30ds. I have already over done it a couple of times and been doubled up I'm pain so better not start anything to strenuous lol.

As for UK peoples diaries its great to know what things are. I really don't know what grits are lol (one of my us friends seems to live on it)

I hope everyone has had a good day, how are you all? I've been suffering from tonsillitis for the past few weeks but I'm starting to feel better thankfully. Tomorrow I start a work placement in a local primary school, I'm really excited about it so fingers crossed I get off to a good start there.

Did you have many trick or treaters this year? We only had two, so they ended up with all of our sweets! :laugh:

Hello everybody!

My goal for the month is to lose a stone and regain my motivation. I lost 2 and a half stone this year but have gained about 10 pounds and my motivation has gone. I'm also doing low carb as it seems to work for me.

I feel a little guilty as so many people are talking about different kinds of workouts, etc. I was planning to go to the gym at lunchtime but after a very stressful day, I went to Nandos instead! But I stuck to my plan....

Anyway, I must try harder and go to the gym tomorrow!

I've been rubbish at posting, Sorry. But good at encouraging any friends I've made from UK thread so not all bad !
Cold and sunny here today.
Watched a few food programmes this week - love getting enw ideas. But rarely make anything from them. This week loads of good ideas for snacks and canapes for Christmas but all involving puff pastrty ! Let me know if anyone has any good low cal ideas.
Off to look up something from Jamie Oliver last night now. (he used bloomin puff pastry last night too !)

I've had the afternoon off work. Done some food shopping and cleaning. Really need to start getting organised for xmas. I've hardly bought any presents and its getting close now

Been a bit rubbish keeping up with this thread, story of my life, i've got this horrible cold thats going around, made worse by being in the beginning stages of Ripped in 30 and TOM - honest it all feels like some mad type of torture Lol!
