    dont worry too much about it, just get back on track things will be fine.

    for the BBQ - if your having real meat burgers (thick) cut one in half then you have two for the same amount of calories you would have eaten in one, or if you can take your own half fat cheese or low fat cheese slices.

    i havnt lost much this week (if any the way the scales are going) but i waist and hips are looking a lot more toned and the hourglass shape is coming back :blushing: :happy:

    and remember
    'being beaten is a temporary condition, giving up is what makes it perminant'

    Hiii Everyone

    I havent been on in AGES! I have been so bad, I was being naughty so didn't even log my food, in the end and I haven't logged it in about 2 weeks now! Disgrace...I went to the wedding last week anyway, and my dress fit so I am happy! Havent weighed myself this week, but I am going to do it when I get home from work and kick myself to start it all again! Im pretty sure I have put most of the weight lost back on :( But at least I know I can do it!! Need my motivation back....

    As if you're going on holiday again!! I am so jealous! I guess its a good motivation though knowing you are going to be in a bikini! My mum said she might take me on a 10 day holiday later in the summer to a greek island! Not 100% though yet...I need to work on her haha

    I think my target for the month will be the same as last month but actually keep it up this time!!! 10st 7lbs by the end of the month would be BRILLIANT! Although I dont actually know how much I weigh at the moment, will weigh in the morning :)

    Hello all, sorry I have had a naughty 7 days, no exercise and very bad diet that I thought best not to log due to the calories. I am putting it down to the stress I have at the moment. :ohwell:

    I have started logging today and I will be going to the gym to weigh myself and do a 'little' work-out.

    It is such lovely weather here I might go for a walk along the beach :glasses:

    Have a great weekend :drinker:

    i seem to be putting on weight again but i dont know how? im sticking at 1400cals each day, and doing exercise so im not sure whats going on right now,

    anyone fancy a sub-challange?
    Not to weigh in for 2 weeks?
    you can still use a tape measure, just no scales!

    i think this might help me so im going to do it

    I'm up for no weigh in for 2 weeks, i get into the habit of weighing and end up doing it every couple of days which is terrible! measuring every pound on and off lol

    weighed this morning and i am 153lbs... Not as bad as I thought it would be, month end I WILL be 147!!!!

    Hi everyone :flowerforyou: :smile:

    I'm back from my hols and have finished my dissertation - YAY!

    Put on 4 lbs on hols - the half board buffet was just too tempting (nothing to do with my willpower :embarassed: ). My end of studies/freedom celebrations are getting in the way now :drinker: but I'm getting back on the wagon next week. Wish me luck !

    Afternoon!

    Bad last week... not gonna lie i did indulge a little too much (not all in diary) Oops! Soo... i have made it my mission to plan ahead (as you can see in my diary) all my meals up until friday (cause friday is a weird day and i never know whats going to happen)... I wasn't in the right frame of mind last week to go to the gym, count cals.. i think its because i saw my ex for the first time in a few months.. and it lead to me eating.. (not usually an emotional eater) but hey ho!

    Anyways.. Im getting right back on track.. the next couple of days im going to shock my body with low cal, low carbs... and then go back to 1,200... just to give myself a kick in the butt!! :laugh: I'm hoping it kick starts things again!!!

    sooo.. im hoping by the end of August i will be within reach of my 10stone goal... hope so!!

    :heart: Katherine

    Hello everyone,

    Welcome back Lorro!

    I have a feeling this is going to be a good week. I weighed myself on Monday (only weighing myself once a week) and I've lost a pound from the week before. My eating has been good so far for this week and I've done my exercises tonight. I don't want to jinx myself though, the boyfriend is staying tomorrow and Thursday, so that usually means bad food! I will RESIST!!

    Katherine, I think you're allowed to eat a bit more when you see your ex. Get some pic n mix! I was at the cinema on Sunday seeing The Ugly Truth - has anyone seen that? - but I didn't have any sweets, I had popcorn instead! Just as bad for my teeth.

    Morning everyone!!!

    Amy - I know i should lighten up about the whole indulging thing but sometimes it gets to me that i will work so hard to avoid the things i love that when i do have them i have a complete blow out which is never a good idea... soooo i just try not to eat them at all....

    OOOOhhhh i just had a sachet of Maple Syrup Oats so simple with my normal porridge.. tasted ah-mazing... it is going to be my weekly treat!! :tongue: the rest of the time ill have half a banana and muesli in it!!

    Was going to go for a run last night but myyyy god it was waaay too hot outside.. so i went to the gym instead! was good i did loads of toning :bigsmile:

    Anywhoo where is everyone???? You've all dissapeared off the face of MyfitnessPal!!! :sad:

    wow things are slow around here recently?

    well ive gone back again, im back at 152lbs :grumble:
    but.....my boyfriend and i have a bet
    if i can lose 7lbs before i go back to uni he will give me £20
    if i dont lose 7lbs i owe him £20

    pretty good motivation for me because i am very stingy with money lol

    so ive got 5 weeks to lose 7lbs - i think i can do that!!

    ok guys and gals so i'm 5 weeks in and have lost 10pounds. on target for my goal but still 17 weeks to go. I'm going to start more cardio this week but dont get alot time to go to the gym through work commitments. Any ideas?
    I already walk to work twice a week wich is 7 mile round trip. thinking of making that 3 times now.
    Got some weights at home too, so guess doing a few sets a night maybe the next step.

    Please feel free to give me some more tips, i got my diet spot on so this is the next step and will really help me motor towards my goals

    Hope all are well and lossing loads

    James
