    Im having a "liquid" day today.. by that i mean... Look at my diary and you will know..! Filling up on porridge for breakfast.. 2 sachets! lol still munching through it now.. with a banana.. lunch will be fruit smoothies :P and then dinner will be an omelet.. sooo basically food that wont make me too bloated!!!

    so hey ho lets see how this goes!! :drinker: :drinker:

    Oh and a long work-out too!!! :happy:

    i weighed myself this morning and i was 10st 4lb.. however i have only set myself as a 2lb weight loss so far cause it could change.. and i dont belive my scales at home! :laugh:

    whats everyone up to today? Some people are dissapearing! COME BACK!!! :heart:

    Morning,

    I weighed myself this morning (normal weigh in day) and weighed in at 170.2lbs :happy: , so I am well happy. The plateau has broken and the weight has dropped :drinker: :drinker:

    I have started a new workout routine at home, I do 25minutes on my exercise bke, then the 10 minute ab routine from my dvd and then either 10/15minutes on the rowing machine or back on the bike. Haven't been able to do much walking as last week it was too hot and I didn't want to burn the children or this week its been too wet!!

    Hope everyone has a good weekend, my eldest son goes away with the school on sunday for 3 days :cry:

    heyyyyy

    done some house work for our mam and going to have a workout sesh since i havent budged on my weight and am still on 181 lbs!!
    I think its down to going to the cinema yesterday but i only had those slushie things and i had some chocolate last night :devil: haha but all is well because iv been working out tuesday, wednesday and yesterday and going to today as well :smile:

    going to stick to quite a low calorie intake at the weekend as i wont have time for any workout sesh's but i am supposed to be cutting the grass which is quite big so that should burn quite a lot of calories so hoping for my weigh in next week will not have moved up.

    hope everyone is good and well done mumsanutter :happy:

    andd how many eggs do you use in your omelet kpnuts23, just so i know how many to use for a healthy range ???:smile:

    Had this weekend off, was absolutely wonderful and spent two hours in the gym both days, I feel a great sense of achievement :happy:

    Coming week: Unfortunately I am on nightshift this week so food is going to be a challenge, I can never seem to eat 3 meals. Will have my usual porridge and will make some soup, might do a chicken soup with loads of veg. I eat roughly 8 eggs a week for my protein and I am sticking to the alpro soya and the goats milk instead of the cow. Will stick to 90 to 120 min. training, I feel like the weight is dropping off, can't wait to weigh in on Tuesday :smile:

    Hope you all had a great weekend :flowerforyou: :drinker: :glasses:

    Helen xx

    P.S. now that I am doing more in the gym I must 'up' my protein intake, need to buy more whey this week and have it twice a day. (not a hardship considering it's chocolate flavour) :laugh:

    ive found a diet online that im going to do
    its the 10lbs in 30 days diet - you eat around 1500 a day, but the way ive put it into my food diary it will be about 1300 with snacks because im not using their breakfast recommendations. So we will see how that goes.
    i lost 0.4lbs last week, not as much as i'd hoped but its a start

    Hey kpnuts, my training is pretty intense and yes I really love it. :happy:
    I missed it terribly today because of dentist and work. I will have to be on my best behaviour with food today because it's weigh in day tomorrow. I am supposed to have a rest day once a week so it might as well be today... :ohwell:

    Good luck curvykate with the new diet, please let us know how its going :flowerforyou:

    Well done Chrrystargirl and kpnuts with the poundage gone :drinker:

    Pick yourself up ChristyJade and dust yourself off and keep on trying (remember exercise burns those cals) :wink:

    I will be back tomorrow to let you know of my loss or gain :bigsmile:

    :smile: Heyy, well done everyone on there weight loss, and i thought i would share mine, iv lost 2lbs over the weekend but the strange thing is i didnt eat healthy but i also never overdone it on junk. I did manage to do about 30 mins workout on saturday but i ate a big aero choc bar over the weekend, a steak pie yesterday and about 3 packets of crisps over the weekend period but that was it for the junk on the weekend but i cant get over still losing weight, i had my fingers crossed that i would just still be the same on the weigh in but suppose this is better:bigsmile:

    anyyyway off for a workout, hoping to reach 175lbs by end of next week :happy: wish me luck and good luck to everyone else:flowerforyou: :drinker: :bigsmile:

    Afternoon everyone!

    I hope you are all having a good day! I have gone into hyper mode at work.. i need to let some of my energy out at the gym but that wont happen until 8.30 meah!!! Im going to get my holiday photos from the desposable cam developed tonight and put on CD (one of me on the beach) im going to use it as my comparison for when i've lost the weight!

    Hoping for another 1lb lost by next week! must have a good weekend though!! :tongue:

    Hope you're feeling ok mumsanutter and didn't hurt yourself too much!

    I'm back from T in the Park, so weighed myself this morning - I have lost 5lbs since last week!! I don't think this is real weight loss though, because I lost most of it at the weekend alone. Lots of walking to stages then dancing, plus hardly any food means drastic weight loss!! It'll go back on really quickly. I ate 3 proper meals today though, then burnt 1200 cals on my bike.

    Sean, I was tempted with a steak pie tonight, but I had a healthy living spag bol instead. I had half a garlic bread as well, and there were more calories in the garlic bread than the spaghetti. I needed food though!

    Hope everyone is well :flowerforyou:

    Hi everyone...

    I hope you are ok this morning...

    So im still trooping along at 1,200ish cals.. give or take a few (lol on the weekend) and burning anywhere in the region of 400 - 800 cals per day 4-5x a week.. seeing results though i keep getting worried about starvation mode or my metabolism slowing down.. Meah!? (anyone else love using the word "meah"?) Any ideas?

    Anyhow.. i have posted some new photos.. a couple of them are of me about 4ish weeks ago looking riduculously brown, and there is one of me in my gym gear last night in tesco's.. im using the '4weeks ago' photos as my start off weight at 10stone 8lb.. Currently 3lbs down :drinker: :drinker: Still aiming for 10stone by the end of the month! Fingers crossed!! :bigsmile:

    heyy everyone

    am reallly annoyed with myself bcos for the past 2-3 weeks i have worked out around 5 out of 7 days and i know i could have lost more weight than wht i have and its allll down to really overeating....

    i have a healthy lunch, then a healthy dinner and probably a muller light yoghurt or some fruit or low fat low cal desert snack afterwrds. thn when it comes to about 8-9pm i get really hungry and always plan on having some cereal but for the past few nights or week i have just completly gon overboard and ate crap like yesterday it was probably the best workout i have ever had, i had about 500 cals left over still at 9pm, i had 2 ppl comment on have much weight i have lost and when it came to bout 10 oclock last night i was really hungry and had cheese on toast, loads of jaffa cakes and 2 twisters, now that is the verrry worst i have ever done and thn this morning i weigh myself in and iv put on 1 lb im very disappointed in myself but for some reason recently when im hungry at night i seem to go overboard on the junk:grumble: :mad:

    i think eating bran flakes around 8-10 pm is wat im going to force myself to do but i dnt understand why that happens because when i go for the food i intend on getting the bran flakes or some cereal

    Sean, i havent had this problem recently... but i too have got to the point where people have said "katherine you look soo good atm" and then somewehere in my silly head.. the message to me means.. 'hey im looking good i can relax with food'.... sooo now i just tell people to not comment.. bcause i dont want to get to a point where people say you look good.. bla bla.. and then for me to eat what i want.. if you get my jist?! :huh: lol

    if you are getting hungry around 8-10pm maybe eat more for dinner? then you wont have the cravings.. i just tell myself.. once i've had dinner im done.. no more food.. and it usually works.. just have water? and if that doesnt work a banana? :indifferent:

    Hope thats helped?

    ARGH I just cant keep on it at the moment, my sister is over and all we ever seem to do when we are together is EAT! And I have been feeling so drained lately, i don't know if its my anemia or not, but I feel terrible most of the time, so I can't ever be bothered to exercise! I also haven't been logging half of my food because my sister has been making it so I have no idea of whats in half of it! I give in! I really don't want to put the weight back on but I feel so rubbish most of the time I don't care!

    Hope everyone else has been having a better week than me! Well done to everyone who lost :)

    Good morning ChristyJade,

    I hope u are feeling better this morning? Dont let it get to you so much.. :flowerforyou:

    Maybe have smaller portions? Instead of using a large plate how about using a bread plate? or add in more veggies... Im sure you sis will understand if you dont want smaller portions as your trying to be good? What sort of food does she make?

    Hey, dont worry if you do put on weight, you know you have to support here to keep you going no matter what!:bigsmile: Have you got any BIG plans for this summer? Holiday? Wedding to go to? etc..!? Set a day as a goal and really push to get to it.. even if its a couple of lbs, at least you have something to work to?

    Me and a guy at work have set ourselves a challenge ( i may have mentioned this before so apologies if im repeating myself)... my goal is to get down to 9 1/2 stone by the second week of september (planning to go on holiday) because i cant remember the last time i was that light (maybe when i was 14?).. He has obviously set himself a certain goal too, but we are both keeping each other going.. Plus i txt him if i think im going to make a bad food choice... he will always tell me the right thing to do..:happy:

    I hope my explanation makes sense as i sometimes read back what i've written and it doesnt make any sense at all! Im no inspiration to anyone on here (like a certain few amercians) that everyone adores... But i have my own ways and i hope that i can help you out...

    Afternoon Sean,

    Glad you resisted the burger!! :drinker: my mouth was at serious melting point when my friend offered me a homemade "large" fairy cake with loads of tubed icing... oh how i wanted to devour it! lol :laugh: :laugh:

    Bowl of cornflakes is cool.. you say at 9? What time do u go to bed? Only asking cause having the food sitting on my stomach at night can be a real pain... do you know what i mean? Or are you a night owl and stay up into the early hours?

    going out for a workout afterwork... maybe a run? or gym session, but i have a feeling i might be doing both!?
    THEN... Im going out on a date tonight!! I wont hold my breath tho! :laugh: :laugh: he could be MR BORING!!! :laugh: :laugh:

    Sorry for not stopping by, I really hate nightshifts, my body clock is all over the place :grumble: I don't sleep properly and I really hate training in the evenings. Decided to go today at 4pm see how that works. oh and no use weighing in this week or next week cos dreaded aunt flo will be visiting any time soon:ohwell: As you all see I am a proper grumpy old woman today.

    Hope you are all achieving your goals :flowerforyou:
