Hey gals, I only managed to remeber posting the new post on the 1st ay of the week for a change WOO-HOO !!!!! :drinker: :laugh: :bigsmile:

I overate at the weekend, and put 2 of the 3 lbs I'd lost back on, but I am determined to LOSe those 2 lbs plus some over the next few weeks! I can't beleive how close June is now - 6 weeks!!!!! :noway:
That stubborn 20lbs is really sticking to me at mo! Ah well, either way, I'm lighter and more toned than I was this time last year :drinker: I've even had the courage to buy a swim suit Woo-Hoo (now whether I muster the courage to wear it is another matter).

How is everyone getting on? didn't have many weigh-ins last wekk, but assume peeps are busy - no biggie, seems we are all here more for support anyways :happy:

I'm using my home gym today - had to move those planters - really taking up space - more like day of the triffids out there now LOL.

Take care, and love to all xxx

    Hi All you summer slenders

    Jackie:flowerforyou: I'm just opening my eyes in Massachusetts (US). So glad you are doing well. Great Job on 800 calories burned. Walking is good for the soul. :drinker:

    It is starting out cloudy here but the weather man is predicting sunshine and clouds in the 50's. Not bad for April.

    We must be having a lull on our thread. I've been busy and really had no time to get on the computer for a long period of time. Sorry.

    Katherine,:flowerforyou: I'm so glad you are back and had a great time. No weight gain great job. You must be tired. Nice to have you back.


    Welcome Mick :flowerforyou: Sorry for the long response. You will like this group ladies.

    Jenny :flowerforyou: where are you. Are you cleaning your little bitty house???? Or, are you working your little bitty butt off. :laugh: :laugh: Hope all is well.

    Well, I have been off work this week and have been very busy. Of course I managed to get to the gym daily. That is a must. So, I'm off again. I will pick up the house and get to the gym this morning. I am determined to keep these pounds that I have lost off for good. Boy, its a tough one.

    Not sure what the afternoon is going to bring.


    Hope all have a great day. I'll try to check in later when I input my calories.

    :heart: Kathy

    hey gals! Sorry i have been super busy working outside! We cut some trees down and it made a huge mess of my back yard which I had just got all nicely raked in to piles....so I have to rake a bit again plus all those nasty sticks! That stuff plus (looking all giddy) my hubby came home and surprised me yesterday and we got to go and pick out our front deck that I have been patiently waiting 2 years for....lets just say that 2 milk crates are our front steps at the moment....oh it pretty 'classy' hahahaha. So we were gone all day! Unfortunately we went out to eat twice, it is hard to log in those meals someimes so I just write in the bottom of the notes....I did burn like over 700 cals doing the yard work though so I think that I was fine....*shrugs* if not oh well I don't do it all the time and it was fun!

    I will try to be on more today!!! We don't wannt a lull on the thread!!! Hi to one and all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
    I have to now go and work on my itty bitty yard!!!!:laugh: :laugh: :bigsmile:

    Hi Everyone,

    I would like to join this group. My name is Tanya and I am new to myfitnesspal. I have about 20 pounds to loose and am hoping with support, motivation and the food journal I can make that happen.

    Thanks.

    Tanya

    Welcome:flowerforyou: tanya, The food journal is your best tool to start. Keep logging in what you eat. That way you will see all the things you really don't need to lose weight. OK, OK, you might mess up here and there but, give it time. Don't make it complicated just keep at it. You will succeed.

    Glad to have you in the group.

    :heart: Kathy

    I went to the gym last night and burnt 650cals... Whoopiie.. so i dont feel as bad about the bad food i ate.. still shouldnt have done it!

    Anywhoo... i hope you are all having lovely weeks? The weather has been fabulous here!! And with half a day off work im not complaining! :laugh:

    Good Morning all,

    It is a beautiful day here also. The sun is shinning, no clouds and I thinks its 50 degrees all ready at 8:30 am. Yea. I must get to the gym early so I can enjoy this beautiful day.

    I hope all have a great day.

    Welcome Tanya :flowerforyou: Glad to have you with us :drinker:
    It's really hot here in the UK today - 63 degrees :tongue:
    I've been out clothes shopping - all my clothes were :tongue: ar too :tongue: baggy, so I went shopping for a size 18 (YAY!!!) My 20+ clothes are going to charity tomorrow :drinker:
    Also had to buy new clothes for my 11 year old, he's going to Wales with the school in 7 weeks - boy am I going to miss him :ohwell:
    Had a bit of trouble with my 18 yr old over the past 2 days, so much so that I kicked him out yesterday afternoon, then I got a phone call from the police to say he was really sorry and wanted to come home - we had a long talk last night, and he moved back in :happy: I missed him, it was only 4 hours, but it was the worst 4 hours of my life!
    I might one day learn to let go of my boys :laugh:

    Ah well, about to go out with the family, got a family weekend this weekend, so don't be surprised if I'm not about, I'll be back by Monday with bells on :laugh:

    Keep it real this weekend ladies - we can do this, only 5 weeks to June :noway:
    Might have to start another thread once the 5 weeks are up - cos I'm gonna miss you guys :love:

    BTW, I'm 208lbs today, so I'm trying extra hard this weekend to keep on track, going for a long walk on the downs tomorrow and car bootie on Sunday - also walking miles, just hope al lthe fresh air doesn't make me too hungry :grumble:

    :heart: Jackie
