Team UK: week 1

yeah. !!! will do, this should be exciting.

Count me in, I have done 2 hours of cleaning today :yawn: wish I could go to bed now lol

I need to lose 50 lbs / 4 st :frown:

Did half hour of exersise on wii fit yesterday and feeling the pulling in muscles today will have another go tomorrow.

Oh by the way, I just started.... thank you for creating this group, I need all the motivation I can get for exercise :bigsmile:

Good luck :flowerforyou:

I'm so jealous, I wish I had a wii! I was thinking of getting my dad one for his 60th...and then quickly stealing it :laugh: Well done on your exercise.

The walk to work usually takes 40 minutes but today only took 30, maybe my legs are growing (hopefully, I'm only 5"2). Getting up early tomorrow to go for a swim. Hope you're all chugging your water!! :flowerforyou:

cinnamon, not long now and you will be jogging to work and you can have an extra 15 min. in bed :laugh:

wii fit is brilliant, I recommend it but if it's too pricey go for a few good work out dvd's... just as good I reckon but not as much fun


I have had 6 of 8 water too :drinker:

got a question for anybody who can answer: Is it normal to get up in the night and pee? Is it true I lose a lot of water weight to start with?

I try not to drink anything an hour before bed

:flowerforyou:

Yes - less processed so fewer nutrients get lost than in white rice production

my legs still ache from the other day on wii fit, just shows how unfit I am lol

my neighbour is taking me tata's at 1:30pm so will be back later to tell you all about it

Hey everyone! Good going Helen, you must have pushed yourself really hard. Love that good feeling you get after exercise! What's tata's?

I did my hours swim this morning and it was hard work. Started feeling a bit washed out last night, like achey and tired. I was pooped after 15 minutes of swimming but I pushed myself and did the whole hour. Don't think I ate enough for brekkie though because as I was changing the whole room started spinning and little lights appeared in front of my eyes!! Not good, had some mixed nuts and felt better!

Oh and the brown rice was tastey, took ages to cook though! I've started having my main meal at lunch times because I heard it was better for you...not entirely sure that's true though...

How was everyone else's day?

well done cinnamon, got a bit of advice, if you go training have a banana milkshake before. I have porridge with banana an hour before my training, trust me, it works :happy: But as they say, whatever works best for you :laugh: (bottom disclaimer thingy)

tata's is what we used to say to our pet for 'walkies' :bigsmile:

I have made a very big decision but it is only a 99.9% decided so far, I want to join the gym tomorrow, it has a swimming pool, spinning class, other classes and cardio/weights room, am I pushing myself too hard if I join tomorrow? Or am I wanting this too badly? Please let me know xx

Keep up the good work people :flowerforyou:

Thanks for advice guys, I didn't eat enough for breakfast. It takes a while for my tummy to wake up so I'm going for my swim after lunch today (aaaaaah the pleasures of a flexible student lifestyle :laugh: ). My cold's got worse though :sad: not what I need for revising for end of year exams. And apparently we have an essay to pick up that everyone got really low marks in...so I'm avoiding it :sad: ...sorry about the whinge there!

Defo go today Helen, you'll feel better for it! Even if it doesn't help your weight loss (which is will!) you'll feel so much healthier and fitter. You know whats right for your body.

What's everybody having for breakfast?

Sounds good Helen! And you can have your son's tastey fruit salad for desert Must feel awesome to fit back into those jeans already!!

I don't think I will go swimming today, I've got swine flu (or a cold...who knows) and lots of revision to do to make up for my skfhskh*$%^*$ essay mark. Would love to go swimming because I know it would make me feel better but I just don't have the time :sad:

How often does everyone weigh themselves? I weigh every Monday, was 144.8lbs this monday, hopiing to be around 142.8lbs next Monday.

Thanks for the very warm welcome everybody! :flowerforyou:

I'm err, rather older at 31 :embarassed: but hey I have 2 cute kids! I'm 5'9 and weigh 12st2, target is 11st7, I have been 11st once but I honestly don't think its maintainable for me

Helen - I'd join the gym (thought the flashing lights sound weird!!). I'm a member at my local leisure centre and I definitely think I exercise more as a result.

Have walked fast pushing a double buggy with about 3odd stone of kids in it for 60 mins today so feeling good :bigsmile: Have just finished lunch (jacket potato, WW tuna and raw peppers) - nice but would rather like something sweet :devil: Will restrain myself though, its husband's birthday so at the least there will be cake tonight!

LOL @ swine flu :laugh: nice one cinnamon, hope you feel better soon hun and the sooner you revise for the %%$%^^&%^ test go for a long walk and forget about it, you will feel better :flowerforyou:

Yes Good luck Katherine, you must have buns of steel with all that biking :laugh:

Right today I had a day of pottering around the house and made a roast chicken dinner, the only exercise I logged was my cleaning tut

You are not the oldest Shoppie, it's my 39th birthday tomorrow :grumble: No I won't be celebrating but I will buy myself membership for our local leisure centre instead and watch all the men in lycra :noway: *drool* I wonder if it's a mixed sauna too :bigsmile: :blushing:

I weighed in at 14st. 10 days ago but I know I have already lost a lot of water weight... I set mini goals for myself and my first one is 13.5st and I weigh in once a week.

Haven't done my water yet, I have only had 4 pints so now off to get another :drinker:

Good luck all :flowerforyou:
