  • accountabilibuddies is the cutest name!!
  • There is something quite special about movie popcorn isn't there? It just tastes better than regular microwave popcorn! I got a medium bag last night and decided that I'm not going to weigh myself today and will just weight myself as normal. I don't go to the cinema very often so sometimes you just need some popcorn! I'll…
  • Welcome to the world beautiful Grayson! Ended up getting some popcorn at the cinema, which wasn't a wonderful idea but I'm not going to let that break my stride! The scales might be up a bit more than expected tomorrow from all the salt though. Woke up this morning and went back to my morning run, now that the weather is…
  • That's a great idea Barbie. I wont be able to go home before the movies but I'll be sure to eat something healthy before heading into the cinema so I wont be snacking when I'm there! I hope you have a great day!
  • Thank you =) If you get a chance I would highly recommend them. Although they're tough you can also go a bit easier in the classes if you explain to the trainer at the start you're a beginner. The trainer will show you how to use the machine the first time if you ask as well. Apparently it's a pretty great calorie burn! I…
  • Haha thank you! Spin is really challenging but it 's a lot of fun as well! It makes me work out much harder than I would if I was just running on my own because the trainer really pushes you! Today and my boyfriend and my 7th year together so we're going to go to the cinema so no workout today. I must make sure to bring…
  • Woohoo congrats to both of you and your family!!
  • Wow spin really kicked my butt today! But now it was worth it but I need to figure out what I did wrong today which caused me to be sick after working out. Not a good move! Hope everyone had a great day! Just finished cooking dinner tonight and lunch for tomorrow. I also added my birthday to the birthday thread =)

  • A day or so late as well but I'm also in! I'm going to Paris just after valentines day and would love to lose about 10lbs before then! Lets do this! =) I have spin class tonight and I always feel after spin that I'm more motivated to not snack in the evening since it would "ruin" any of the good I did in spin!
  • Happy Monday (is that even a thing?) everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend and are all fresh and rested for a new week! =) I hope your weekend was productive. I got myself out of bed and into a spin class followed by a yoga class Saturday morning, which was wonderful since it really started the weekend off right!…
  • Congrats Caliecat! How exciting!
  • I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend
  • Hello there other new people! Happy Friday everyone!! Yay! Barbie - I did ballet when until I was 8 or 9 and then I moved across the country and stopped. Now I wish I didn't! The ballet class was so much fun! I don't have a lot of flexibility though but hopefully that will come with time. I'm hoping to do a certain amount…
  • Yay I'm glad your daughter enjoyed her time over here! It's a really nice country if we could only control the weather! =) I'm sure the scales will change if you just stick with it! You know you're working hard and it will show when you work hard!
  • Congrats Kate! I think being able to see how you're progressing with things like being able to fit into clothes really helps show you the results of all you hard work! Now you can wear the hell out of those jeans! =)
  • Happy Anniversary Barbie! I hope it was lots of fun! I live in Ireland! Most of the time here it's not especially icy but sometimes we can get ice and even snow in the winter if we get the back end of the polar vortex. This morning we actually had a red weather wind warning across the country so I decided to be safe and…

  • Oh gosh Marie and Barbie you're both so sweet! You guys have certainly motivated me to stick with it so I can continue to be the best I can be! =) I woke up at 6.30 this morning to get ready for my run and looked outside to see the whole place covered in ice! I decided it wasn't the best idea to go out in it. So to make up…
  • I'm serious about losing weight as well! I have a wedding to go to in August and I want to be slim and trim for it!! Can I add you all as friends? I would appreciate if you guys added me as well!
  • Sounds wonderful Marie! I have a wedding to go to in France at the end of August and would love to have a lot of my weight lost by then so a support group like this would keep me motivated! (also summer time! Time to wear a lot less clothes!)
  • That's a great idea Barbie! I always find that when I meet friends for coffee or lunch I end up going over my calories or decide to have a biscuit with me coffee! All I want to do is catch up with them and chat anyway! The walk and talk friend dates sound like a wonderful idea!
  • Oh I'm considering going to my gyms spin classes again. Do you find it good?
  • Thank you Caliecat I'm actually feeling much much better today! My lip is healing nicely and although it's still a bit painful there's no lasting damage. Was very happy to get back out there and run today. It really puts me in a good mood for the day! =)
  • My gosh chilly run this morning. It was about 1'c this morning when I went for my run! I was lucky though since my friends who live on the west coast (of Ireland) were telling me it was snowing when they got up this morning! Ireland isn't very good at handling snow so there is no way I'd be able to go run in it, especially…
  • I'm glad you had a very successful weigh-in day today! It's always great motivation for the start of the week! I knew that if I didn't go for my run again this week I would stop going running in the morning. I have asthma and a sore lower back and I find that when I run often it makes them feel much better. Hopefully with…
  • Afternoon everyone! I hope everyone is having a lovely day! I spent the weekend recovering from my bashed face and did a small bit of yoga. This morning I got up again at 6.30 and despite the wind and rain got out for a 3.5k run. I was extra careful with my feet so I wouldn't slip again! Even though the weather was…
  • Thank you guys! It was a pretty nasty fall but I don't want something like this to deter me. I had a really nice green smoothie for lunch with mango and spinach so hopefully that should keep me going for a while until my mouth is better enough to eat solid stuff again! I hope your personal training session goes great…
  • Got up early this morning to go for a run. The weather is cold and rainy here but I still motivated and convinced myself it was worth going for a turn. Turns out I might have been better not to! The ground was so wet that I slipped and fell face first into the concrete curb. Now I have a huge gash on my lip which makes it…
