RunRaineyRun Thursday PW: 239.5 CW: 240 Taking that on the chin and hopefully will be better. Excited this week to be going to a concert! I haven’t been in a couple of years, I’ve missed the buzz of excitement and the ability to sing at the top of my lungs and no one really hears or cares! I’m going to see Shawn Mendes…

RunRaineyRun Week 4 Thursday PW: 241.5 CW: 241 I went to group a day early this week as my ladycramps started and I figured leaving it another day would mean I’d be more bloated and heavier (I was right lol). Food wise I’m doing better, currently 3 days binge free :)

RunRaineyRun Week 3 Thursday PW: 243 CW: 241.5 Happy with a loss this week! I was actually mad at myself because it could have been more but the night before weigh in I had a binge :# so I could have had 2-3lbs off instead. I was convinced I’d maintain again so thought ‘eff it’. Idiot. {{I HAVE TO STOP BEING MEAN TO…

Hi, I previously posted I wasn’t getting great steps in (also forget to post) so was looking for someone to take over. I think Laurie has taken the reigns now so I’m happy with that! I’m still getting over this 2-month cold (SO fun, lol.) so energy is lacking. Maybe in a few months I’ll be walking the 5 miles home from…

RunRaineyRun Week 2 Thursday PW: 243 CW: 243 Sorry I’m a bit late, yesterday was so hectic! Also (if you haven’t already) can you replace me on the step challenge? I’m not up to full speed yet and it’s not fair on you guys. Hopefully there is a big stepper on the waiting list!

RunRaineyRun Week 1 Thursday PW: 243 CW: 243 At least it’s not a gain, right? LOL! That’s how I’m looking at it. ‘No shame in a gain or a maintain’ as they say at group. There’s still a bit of me that does feel shame but I’m working on being kinder to myself. I remember when I first started Slimming World I’d had a bad few…

Did I miss you saying you were doing SW? *blinks* Good to have you on board! There are so many instagram accounts for motivation. Do you do it at home or a group? I’m struggling this week - my appetite has come back :s Forgive me SW for I have synned! lol. My head needs to get back in the game for real. I have that dang…

Well done on that loss! :o B)

@iamworthy14 I think it's only if you have to post your starting weight. If you have, you're good :)

@Beka3695 Is there a rough time she does the tally? I'll try and work out the time difference. Does the Sunday count for the week if you haven't completed your day yet or does it carry over to the next week? Sorry for the silly questions :D

I'm not the greatest stepper, but I'll take a slot if it'll help us not have zeros - I hate zeros (unless it's on a cheque lol) I will also try and up my steps, I've been getting too lazy lately! Do we post daily? I'll have to get better at that too lol.

What if someone else clicks insightful before a captain has? I click it sometimes, I hope people don't get missed because of that. Maybe the 'woo' button could be used as I think most folks tend to steer clear of that one?

Sorry Steph :( I am the same with the messy house (flat for me), give yourself a break, don’t pile everything on at once. Hopefully things get easier for you soon x

I’m so sorry about your grandma :( Sending you lots and lots of snuggles (they’re better than regular hugs) <3 Congrats on the new job!

RunRaineyRun Week5 Thursday PW: 244.5 CW: 243 Appetite is starting to come back, more’s the pity! I had some chocolates from a tub at work, oops, but when I came home I made a spinach and chicken omelette (odd, acquired taste) and I feel a bit better about the chocolate lol.

RunRaineyRun Week 4 Thursday PW: 247.5 CW: 244.5 Under the weather this week, I’m lucky if I got 300 cals a day on Monday/Tuesday. I’m getting better but my appetite has flown the coop! Capitalising on it while I can lol. Hormone cravings will kick in soon so hopefully I’m feeling better from this flu-type thing (no…

@KelGen02 Jessica Smith TV on Youtube is great as well for different kinds of workouts from beginner onwards. I love that she's really nice and doesn't talk down to you as a viewer. Plus her French Bulldog is in the background in a lot of videos and she's super cute :D

Name: RunRaineyRun Week: Jan week 3 Day: Thursday PW: 248 CW: 247.5 Hallelulja! After gain after gain last year (.... oops.) and two weeks of maintains I am SUPER HAPPY with a wee half pound off this week. At group my consultant was talking about how half a pound is often frowned upon when people lose it, saying things…

@Navydaddjtc so sorry to hear about your family struggles. I'm sending lots of good vibes your way and theirs, crossing fingers.

Name: RunRaineyRun Week: Jan wk 2 Day: Thursday PW: 248 CW: 248 Week 2 of maintains.. at what point is it a plateau? It’s not something I’ve ever thought of before (I’m usually gaining or losing). I like to think of it as the ‘slow before the go’ - Like when you pull back on an arrow before letting it fly off at speed…

I always forget the intro post! I’m Lorraine, but I’ve had Rainey as a nickname for nigh-on 30 years so if you call me Rainey it just means you’re a friend :) I’m 36 and live in Edinburgh, Scotland. If something funny catches me unawares, I snort 😆 I have just joined the gym (again!). I prefer to work out in the early…

Name: RunRaineyRun Week: Jan wk 1 Day: Thursday PW: 248 CW: 248 I’m okay with a maintain this week, I still wasn’t eating the best but my bloating has gone down so that’s something :D I’ve been a bit under the weather lately - tiredness, slightly dizzy... like being drunk but without the alcohol - so my gym sessions…

Congrats!!! Amazing job. As Dean would say; “YOU’RE AWESOME” B)

I have an overwhelming urge to watch Cool Runnings. "Ye dead?" "Ya mon" :D :D :D :D Love that film.

CHALLENGE #1 I chose the 5K frostbite challenge I walked outside every day this week to break it up (I got in more than 5K but I don't think it was 10K). We've finally had some good weather in Scotland (daffodils are starting to come up already, whuuuut?) so it was as good an excuse to get out as any! CHALLENGE #3 This is…

We're beating the bottom team by just FIVE POINTS!! And 15 away from matching the 4th place team. Just two more videos and we can move on up that board! @cocoajax16 @bloveless @EternalTruth @slgibbs1987 @summ72 @TangledThread @DawnBe1 @PompPanda @Loribh0126

@alipsie19 always impressed at your workouts! How long do they take you? As for me this week, I'm a little under the weather with a cold. It sucks, but I have zero desire to eat so I may actually have a decent loss this week LOL. I know I'll definitely get the water challenge in because it's pretty much all I drink, and…

Hi team! Sorry I've been so quiet lately, I blinked and it was Thursday! The last couple of weeks have been hectic at work (won't slow down any until mid April... joy) and the only day off I had was last Sunday, so I'm a weeeee bit tired! I did what I could minutes wise but I feel I've let you down. I do heart Jessica…

I hear you on the retirement front! Only... *mumbles* years to go! lol. It really is a lovely place, we'd love to have you. Watch out for the Haggis as you walk around Arthurs Seat ;)

That's hilarious! I'd imagine Manchester to be easier to understand too... they seem to speak slower there (no offence to any of them), we have a temp working in our office just now from Leeds which is sooooort of near there and he talks a little bit slower. I'm not a totally broad Scots accent, I was actually born in…
