Diets going well so far, not had any biscuits OR crisps. and you all know how much I love crisps haha I used to have a pack every night. Couldn't imagine doing that now! Have been feeling a little on the hungry side though but I'm guessing I'll adjust or just need to find some low cal snacks to fill the gaps! I've mainly…

I LOVE the pics! I think it's great when you can do that!

Lots of hugs for you Joan!! How about remembering this... "The foods that make me feel better, also make me feel sad". Because they DO make you feel better, it IS a comfort thing.. but that same food also makes you feel sad after! So when you want to have the pie or the ice-cream just remember.. "okay you'll make me feel…

Some things you can't always account for. You just have to roll with it then get straight back to it when you can! It was the same for me this weekend, we didn't have the kids and we actually had money 😂 so me and my partner went on a "date weekend" I suppose you could call it. We went out drinking, we had good food! We…

Yea that's brilliant news! I didn't log on yesterday so couldn't wish you luck but I'm so glad it all went well. I know how much it was worrying you x

So sad that he died :(

My triceps 😱 Deffo over did it in the gym yesterday 😂 I won't be making that mistake again! I've tried a couple of tricep machines in the gym but one I LOVED it was so easy to do. Probably how I over did it! I also take a pre-workout before going gym so I end up doing more than I normally would if I didn't have it. Plus it…

The kids are back at school. So last two days me and Ash hit the gym I'll be honest, the first day wasn't great. Ash had to show me round everything again, I just get weirded out over new places but as soon as I got to grips with where stuff was and what was what and it was pretty easy to figure out because all the…

I need to diet, my partner does not. So I'm in the same position as you, I like counting calories, he says it's a load of rubbish because he can lose weight without doing that, he just cuts back on rubbish and eats healthier in general, but I told him I need to count to keep track and he respects that. However, he's not…

@mytime6630 I'm with ya Joan! I'm struggling too! As always! Can't remember if I ever posted about it but Marley had her ADHD assessment a couple of weeks ago, it went really well. She had a couple more tests to do and then I'm assuming we should get a diagnosis? But then I am going to go for my diagnosis. I've long…

I've been feeling awful the last few days. Think there's a cold going round because I've got it, the neighbours got it and I've seen others mention it online. It's not too bad, not like COVID bad. But I woke up at 4am with a headache, stuffed up face and just generally restless. Fortunately Ash woke up too when I did and…

@pridesabtch Awww yeah of course I do remember you mentioning that actually. It's looks great!! Not something I would have been able to put together, especially that size! The kids are gonna love it!!

Omg dishwashers. We've just had a complete nightmare getting a new one. We ordered one for last Sunday. It came, we had to pull out the washing machine (which is super heavy) just to plumb in the dishwasher, but we got it all done and pushed them back. Only then did our dumb a$$es realise there was a huge dent on the door.…

Busy week again. Me and Ash have been manic for a couple of weeks now. Sometimes it's good when we're like that, we get a lot of jobs boxed off in one go. But when you want to stop and relax and can't it's annoying. I've always felt there was two sides of me, one that wants to get $h!t done and the other side that really…

I mean I'm no expert but that sounds okay to me? Mine are roughly the same stats I think. I think mine are set to lose 1lb a week and I get 1,620. I have done my BMR but can't remember what it was but I know it's around the 1600 mark anyway Mines set as lightly active. I do more exercise than "lightly active" but seeing as…

You did do good yesterday. You got some exercise in, 30 mins is still 30 mins. And only two beers? That's moderation! Okay you may have not been in you're calorie limit but at the same time it could have been much worse. Sometimes life happens, like the dog getting too tired and then ending up at a brewery! But you can…

Me: *Starts making plans to move to Scotland* 😂😂 Yeah two bloody weeks!! For the Whit holiday? Whatever the frig that is. Tbh it's more annoying that the weather's rubbish. When they're in school it's really nice weather. And when they're at home it's awful so we're all just stuck in so I can't get them to any outdoor…

Hey everyone, little update from me! Since having the car I don't think we've exercised once 😂 we've been out every single day. However, Ash joined the gym yesterday! My membership is still processing, fortunately, the gym were using allows me to have a Carers membership at a reduced cost and they even said I can use the…

Wow I love it!!! That's some serious talent!!

Oh gosh I know the feeling of knowing what I NEED to do but really really not feeling like it! Sounds like you've got good back up plans though, I hit the hot drinks too, make me feel a little fuller for longer. Just think, if you get through today and hit all your goals (even though you don't feel like it) you'll feel…

@PackerFanInGB Haha yeah, the 2nd car! Lol had the first one for a day before I took it back and got my money back. The clutch and the exhaust went on it. Then went and spend just a tad more on another car which is absolutely mint. It's been real fun having it! We've been so many places in one week LOL Everywhere we've…

Hey all, not been posting much, been super busy! The weather's nice here, we let the kids have a day off school on Friday so we could go stay at ash's parents for night. Sask was having trouble at school with a bit of bullying and I just thought we could all do with the break! I rang the school and said we were all poorly…

Had another eventful day. I bought... ANOTHER car today. The first one (which we got 2 days ago) literally started falling apart. The clutch went, the exhaust went, god knows what was gonna happen next. Non of these showed up on the test drive but we noticed that once the clutch warmed up, that's when the problems started.…

Hey all! I logged a fair few days last week All within calories. I didn't log yesterday though, and I've not logged today. I had a big breakfast from a cafe this morning (well half of one with Ash but it was HUGE) And then me and ash went car hunting. I'll be honest it was a complete nightmare. We were walking for ages.…

It's hard. Very hard to stick to it. I'm also like that, sometimes I'm really focused and doing the right things then I just give up, but for me it's not giving up consciously I just end up slipping back into the bad habits again so easily. But I had to realise that no ones coming. No ones coming to help me do it, no one's…

Despite the awful day yesterday. I'm more determined than ever to lose weight. The 10lb i gained from the last challenge, I don't think is just from muscle. I mean realistically that's a huge amount of muscle to put on, so I knew some of it would be that and the rest would be me putting weight on. I told the biscuits in…

Hey guys! I went clothes shopping today. It was an awful experience. I started in good spirits. Grabbed some dresses to start with as I knew I'd have to try dresses on whereas most pants/tops I can just grab my size. Went to try them on to get that part out the way so I could just grab the rest, pay and go. But seeing my…

I'm really bad with biscuits at the minute. Can't stop eating the stupid things lol (Cookies if youre from the US) Apparently biscuits are a very different thing over there 😂

5lbs Challenge 17th March - 1st May SW: 167 GW: 162 CW:177 Did I join the GAIN 10lbs challenge or something?! I've asked Ash. Because I was honestly like wtf. It's obvious I've lost weight. I've dropped a dress size. I feel smaller. I still have alot of chub don't get me wrong. His answer was I've built muscle. Every…

@mytime6630 yes I'm in for another 5lb challenge. Will get my final weight and new starting weight on Wednesday, Wednesday's the 1st right? Is it me or is this year going so fast?
