Good morning everyone. I have had a great weekend although not so great on the calories. We went out for my friends birthday to the ABBA tribute which was a great night but i consumed LOTS of alcohol :wink: and then yesterday we went to support some fellow students that where competing in the Gforce open kickboxing…

Rachel @Rachel0778 My class is a structured kickboxing class. I am a black belt and training for my 2nd Dan. I also do kickboxercise which is more of a fitness class. We have got a competition to go to on Sunday but i dont compete myself. I also mainly do it for the fitness and the extra calories it gives me :smiley: I…

@jkhoffe The average burn for 1 hour is about 700 calories give or take a few depending on individual stats. I love kickboxing and have been doing it for years, you should give it a try, it is a complete body workout :) @Rachel0778 how long have you done kickboxing for ( i may already have asked you sorry, my memory is…

Another great day. After some core and strength training i did some work outside and managed to get a bit of a sun tan :sunglasses: yet another lovely day today although the forecast for the rest of the week is pants :neutral: of to the gym again soon i think i might do some leg work. Keep up the great work everyone.

@chasidee90 way to go on the walking, every step counts. keep up the great work. @bluepoppies777 so sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you and your family. @health_guard i used to work shifts doing early mornings, mid day and then evenings and it would really mess with my eating pattern. Luckily most of my work is…

I woke up this morning with DOMS and water retention from the awesome workout we did on Thursday night, yes the scales have gone up but i expected it as i ache so much :wink: i know they will go back down in a…

hi everyone, welcome to the newbies. Happy anniversary Shy, How many years is it? Im at 22 years this year :smiley: I have done really well with my macros today and i am starting to get an idea of what i need eat in order to match them. And I have found a protein milkshake that is quite nice so i think that will be added…

It has been like a summers day here today so I managed to get lots of things done outside again, meaning that I am under on my calories and made up for yesterdays naughtiness :wink: I am not doing to great on matching my macros at the minute but i will continue to try, Just taking it one step at a time :smiley:

Cari - so sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you

i am having one of those days today where i could eat everything and anything in sight. I think today will be the first time in months that i actually go over by a few calories :(

love all the doggy pics so here is my boxer dog Roxy sitting next to me falling to sleep

Rachel - well done on the loss. i am sticking to what MFP set me at as its been working as far as the calories are concerned and the macros are 50% carbs, 30% fat, 20% protein. I can always match the carbs but i do struggle with hitting my protein so any suggestions on how to bump that up would be appreciated :)

Good morning everyone. Happy Monday. Another 1lb down for me this morning and i am finally back into the normal range for weight and BMI. Insert happy dance :) Hope you all have a great day :smiley:

Cari - so sorry to hear your news. Take care.

Im thinking of trying something new next week. I have managed to increase my calories and continue to lose weight at a steady pace so the next thing is to try and eat a bit healthier. I am going to try and stay within my calories and match my macros. Macros are something ive not bothered with before so wish me luck :wink:

Shy - great work on the steps challenge :smiley:

Thanks for the meme Shy. I did have 2 small ones but i fit them in to my calories :) You are doing awesome with your steps. I have just about done for today so come and catch me at the finish line :smiley:

Nichole so sorry to hear of your loss.

Happy Friday everyone. i have got a busy day of baking ahead of me ready for a fundraising event we are holding tomorrow. then hopefully it will brighten up and i will be out in the garden later. at the gym tonight for a kickboxing session and take my dog for a walk. Shy - loving the step challenge this week. race you to…

@Rachel0778 i hate having days like that but in my case they usually come before a weight loss so keep doing what your doing and say "kittens" to the bloat. YOU GOT THIS GIRL :wink:

oh what a day so far. Went to visit the inlaws to take their wedding anniversary card and spent most of the morning sitting drinking coffee, so that's my step count gone down :( . Then they decided to go to the chip shop for lunch, they all sat around eating chips, pies, battered sausage, kebab meat and I was very good and…

Jen - sounds like you've had a tough day. enjoy your wine you deserve it :wink: Shy- I would love to come and do your house work for you. if i start walking now how long do you think it would take to get there :lol: Well i did manage to dodge the April showers today and do a few bits in the garden, I got my ironing done,…

Its raining here today so not really a garden day. I have managed to get a few bits of ironing done, but im not quite sure what to do with the rest of my day. Its amazing how much you can change your daily routine within a few months, I can no longer just sit around, i NEED to be busy. Oh well at least i have the gym later…
