    Elimay you are awesome, you are such a strength to your sister and the rest of your family and still manage to find time for us on here. I don't know how you do it.

    VickyPollard - welcome to the group. Your picture and name have amused me this morning. To our American friends, I am not insulting Vicky Pollard by this comment as this is a comedy character in the UK played by a bloke.

    Penny - lunges?!?! really??? And I thought you were nice! It could have been worse, you could have said PLANK - argh

    Lstnlondry - that's terrible about your purse, there are so many awful people in this world. I hope that you didn't have too much in it.

    Just done my jumping jack challenge from yesterday and will definitely do the curl-ups on Friday.

    Need to get ready for work now, have a great day everyone, I'll check in later xxx

    Haha Elimay sometimes we call men blokes over here...I'm not entirely sure why though! I hope you have a lovely time with your sister and it is good that you can both keep each other strong.

    Istnlondry, sorry to here about your purse that is very upsetting but well done on the hike! I love hiking across the moors.

    Haha Vicky Pollard...amazing. I'm with you on the alcohol too, I've been doing pretty well so far but we can stick at it together hopefully!

    Right I am off to drink some water and revise for my last exam of the semester tomorrow wooo! I may check-in with you all again later. Have a good day!

    So glad we have all these new friends. WELCOME all! Keeps us all on our toes!

    I am going to stay under calories today.
    I am going to exercise today.
    I am going to drink 8 glasses of water today.
    I am not going to eat anything with flour or sugar in it today.

    Good morning gals,

    Beautiful baby. Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear about your purse istnlondry. Elimay you are stonger than you know.

    Yesterday I stayed in calorie budget and drank my water. I am finally feeling better today and so will be able to get back to exercise. Lets see, sit-ups Friday and lunges Monday. I've been a lump the last few days. I'll make-up those jumping jacks too. I need it. Will check back in the evening.

    This is the first group that I've joined--I think....is this considered a group or is it just a thread on the message boards? I'm not sure how this all works--I want to keep track of everybody's posts--but I am hopelessly confused. Do I just keep clicking back on the original thread?

    I'm not sure I could handle seeing my weight in Kg. Such big numbers. :noway:
    Got some exercise this afternoon, in calories, need one more glass of water.

    My 3 goals for the rest of this week are:
    1. To stay at or near calorie goal.
    2. To burn 1000 calories most days this week.
    3. To find peace after dinner & stop nibbling.

    This is how I did Thursday:
    1. I ate over calorie goal today due to 400 mindless calories eaten.
    2. I burned just over 500 calories today.
    3. I had to take my daughter to a meeting and when I got home I fought the urge to hit the kitchen & drink wine. Cross your fingers!

    I have to go to a funeral tomorrow but I would like to burn a lot of calories before. To me it shows my cousin in Heaven that Im makingthe most of my health & my life. ! Elimay? How's it going?

    Welcome to all the newbies...nice to see some new "faces" in our little group!

    The scale and I are still at odds which is not surprising....I really need to just take it out of the house so that I don't obsess so much.

    My eating habits have pretty much sucked since my rant earlier in the week.....cereal has been my best friend! This morning when I was working through my stair challenge (4000 of them this week) I realized that while I have turned my exercise around my diet is my biggest problem. I still eat crap mostly and just keep it under the calorie limits so that is something I want to try and work on as my next goal.

    Thanks for all of the responses to my rant....I have been in a rut in terms of my exercise. I want to ride over 5000 miles this year which means I need to ride about 400 miles a month so I have been focusing on the bike. I'll try and mix it up better and not spend every day on the bike to see if that helps out some.

    I couldn't remember the mini challenge so I did 50 crunches and 50 sit ups so hopefully I covered it.

    Hope that everyone has a great day! Keep up the awesome work and hope that everyone is feeling 100%

    Welcome Hollyrenee, TCrawford and SteffiePooh :smile:

    Goals
    exercise - check
    stay under cals - not check! Was doing great until hubby came in from work and said he was ordering a pizza, mmm meat feast, it was delicious. So I've now decided I might as well have a glass or 2 of wine and a chocolate bar and call it a day off!
    C25K - not check! Was planning to start week 4 today, guess that will be tomorrow then

    Mini-challenge - going to do your 50 crunches now Elimay and probably a few more too, need something to do while the wine is chilling!

    Hawkeyegal - what is your stair challenge? Is it 4000 steps up in a week? I might give myself a challenge like that, there are 6 flights of stairs up to my office and I nearly always take the lift.

    Here's to a great weekend all

    Good morning all and HAPPY WEEKEND except I am headed off to work. Oh well only 4 hours and then the rest of the weekend is mine.
    Welcome to all of our new friends.
    Glad the night went well with your sister El.
    Hawkeye you work so hard. You really are an inspiration.
    Sammy sometimes you just have to have a day off. Yesterday I did not get lunch so I lost it at supper time but still stayed under calories so I was okay with that.
    Penny hope you had a great night with your knight in shining armor. Sometimes we just need to be swept off of our feet.
    I have the church soup supper today. I LOVE THE PIE!!! My calories are all accounted for so that I can have some pie.
    Will try to check in tonight but just in case I get too busy, will talk to you all tomorrow.
    Oh yeah I am still trying to do no flour, no sugar and so far have been doing pretty well. BUT I AM HAVING PIE!!!

    I am in a group challenge where we have to do different exercises each week. This week we had stairs, jumping jacks, jump squats, taebo kicks, ti-cep curls and punch combos to do. I like challenges like this as it mixes stuff up each week and forces me to do something new (even if I don't enjoy it) since I refuse to lose!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Penny what a lucky lady you are!! Sounds like you had a beautiful time!

    DeeBear...I love your enthusiasm about pie wish I could get some to do this workout in a sec!

    Hawkeye, your challenge sounds so tough but it has inspired me to set a workout goal for myself each week. This week it will be to break myself back into running for half an hour stretches.

    Elimay, I hope you had a lovely time with your sister I was thinking of you both.

    Welcome to all the newbies, this is truly a great group to be part of!

    I had a night off last night to celebrate the end of my exams but I am back on track today with my food, water and I am about to do a workout and some house work so getting all my targets out the way! Woo!

    PIE !!!! Deebear, get some for me!!!

    Penny, your evening sounds lovely especially as someone else was paying. I've just done the first session of Week 4 and it was fine, Week 4 has you running in 5 minute blocks. Are you starting Week4 today?

    Jemma, bet you are glad to get those exams over, what are you studying?

    Hawkeyegal, that does sound tough. I have definitely decided to stop using the lift at work from Monday, not going to actually count steps though.

    Elimay, don't worry about missing your goals, there's always the next day xx

    Goals today
    finished under calories
    exercised this morning and walked
    C25K W4D1 done

    Overall a good day. Checking in tomorrow, I think it is going to be a 1lb loss again this week :smile:
