Exercise - yes 25 mins Pilates, 45 minutes walking Tracking - yes Calories - yes Still on track! At the moment I’m just following calories for losing half a pound a week. I think I will go back to where I was before (one pound a week) but for now this is meaning that I’m actually staying on track.

Three yeses with 25 minutes of Pilates, 40 minutes walking for exercise. @SummerSkier i just googled your smarties…who knew? I’m British and our smarties are the same as the Canadian ones. I’m fact I’m going to decorate my sons birthday cake on Saturday with them’ International mis-communications are something I spend my…

So many well travelled animals in the group! Lovely pics @RangerRickL and @SModa61 those cats look like they like to keep an eye on things! I’m feeling super pleased with how today went. It’s a bank holiday here today so we headed into London with the kids to meet my sister in law and her girlfriend for the first time…

Exercise- yes 15 mins Pilates, 30 mins strength training, 2 hours walking Tracking - yes Calories - yes So glad to be back in UAC again. Turned down the wine and the ice cream at dinner time 👊. Out for lunch tomorrow - pretty excited as I’ve not eaten at a restaurant for six months! Hoping there will be some healthy…

Congratulations to all in the winners circle, such a great achievement! I’m back after a two week break. And raring to go, ish! Exercise - yes 20 mins yoga, 15 mins stair climber and a bit of walking. Tracking - yes Calories - yes though I’ve increased my call up so that I’m on to low half a pound a week. I think I can be…

I’m back for my fourth month of UAC though I took a break for the last two weeks of April. I feel like my weight loss is split into two sections, the first is done which was losing the excess weight I gained in 2020, but I’m still heavier than I want to be, and heavier than is healthy. I’ve found it hard to keep going now…

@Dory_42 your fluffy demons look very cute! @RangerRickL I’m definitely looking forward again and so pleased I’m still going in the right direction despite my hiccup earlier this month. Exercise - yes, 20 mins Pilates, 20 mins exercise bike and 25 minutes SWIMMING!!! The pools reopened here yesterday, so exciting. Between…

Three yeses here. Exercise was 15 mins yoga, 25 mins exercise bike and an hour of walking. A trip to the chiropractor has tired me out today. It’s been a big day in the UK, lockdown has started to lift a little more. Haircuts are allowed again, and we can eat and drink outside pubs and restaurants. I couldn’t actually face…

Exercise - yes 20 mins Pilates, 25 mins exercise bike, 2 hour walk in the woods with dogs and friends! Tracking - yes Calories - yes Can’t say how much better I’m feeling than I was last week, I feel like a different person. @MizSpiffy hope you are feeling better soon!

Thank you so much for all the encouraging messages....I am over my wobble! Yesterday was a way better day, I felt back in charge of my own life....took plenty of exercise and tracked but went over calories (my walk with a friend was actually a Prosecco walk, in lieu of the pubs still being closed and it did put me over a…

I've not posted since Sunday and all the wheels seem to have fallen off. Literally - over the last few days I've let go of a few healthy habits and taken some confidence knocks. But...posting tonight to knock this on the head and get back on the horse. Not only have I eaten some (way too much!) rubbish (and it all stems…

Exercise - yes 20 mins Pilates, 30 mins exercise bike, 30 mins easy cycle out with my son while he ran 5k, 45 min walk Tracking - yes Calories - yes Happy Easter all! More by luck than judgement today is not a pass day but have to say I’m heading to bed not feeling great, probably because of the way I ate today! A learning…

Exercise - yes 30 minutes yoga, 25 minutes exercise bike, lovely long walk in the woods with my husband Tracking - yes Calories - yes Squeaked through on calories today but a really nice day. Had some family over (in the garden only). I normally organise an Easter egg hunt for the kids but this year the eggs were all sold…

@Jane2285 - if beer is your downfall have you tried any alcohol free beers recently? They are so much better than they used to be. I have one or two every night, it’s enough of a habit replacement to reduce the amount of alocohol I consume massively. I have found it super useful because it’s still a nice way to go from day…

Three yeses here, I’ve enjoyed my Good Friday holiday with a nice sleep in after my exciting night out last night. We’re only allowed to socialise outdoors in groups of max six people here and the temperature has gone down now so I’m super glad I managed to squeeze an evening out in before it got cold! Lots of exercise…

Slightly disappointed to start April with a pass day BUT....it was great!! I was careful with food all day. Did my usual yoga and walking in the morning. Worked all day then..my FIRST social event since October 2020! I wore sequins, drank champagne, chatted to my friends (more than one!!) in a gazebo, ate delicious…

Oh and @Winner_in_Life i just saw your comment too - totally agree, if it’s not two days in a row I’m not too worried! Don’t know if you’ve read it but that sentiment is also another pearl of wisdom from Atomic Habits

Well done all you wonderful winners! Fantastic effort for what has felt like a very long month! A much better day for me today, three yeses and I’m feeling good again. Thank you for your kind words @dewit and @biketheworld . You were right it was just a blip and I’m feeling in control today and enjoying the feeling of not…

A pass day today, and not a good one. Did lots of exercise, ate well for lunch and breakfast but....baked for my sister and parents for an afternoon tea to celebrate unseasonably hot weather and being allowed to meet in a group of six in our garden. And I just fell into stupid old habits. Ate cookie dough, picked at the…

Exercise - yes 30 minutes yoga, 25 minutes exercise bike and a couple of hours walking with a friend which was so lovely. Tracking - yes Calories - yes Well done to all who are heading towards the winners circle, great job! I have my parents coming for afternoon tea in the back garden tomorrow so will be baking. That is…

Back on track with three yeses today. Exercise was 20 minutes of Pilates, 39 mins cycling and an hour out strolling with my parents. This week will be challenging as we are back to some semblance of socialising...outdoors. I have my pare T’s coming over for afternoon tea in the garden on Tuesday, drinks in another garden…

Posting for today and yesterday - both were pass days - though I’m not beating myself up about it, neither were blow out days, just went a bit over for dinner. I kind of feel like I’ve been going for three months now and I’m taking a little break, albeit pretty controlled! No winners circle for me this month but still…

Exercise- yes20 mins Pilates, 20 mins exercise bike, 45 mins walking Tracking - yes Calories - yes I’m off work til Wednesday which is great, but with not much to actually do, I find myself eating out of boredom. I need to make some plans and some lists and keep busy! From Monday we are allowed to meet more than one person…

Three yeses with my usual yoga / exercise bike / walking for exercise. Not an exciting day but good enough!

Exercise - yes 25 mins Pilates, 20 mins exercise bike, 45 mins walking Tracking- yes Calories - yes Back to work today (at home!), and even though I’m not really enjoying my job at the moment, it does distract me from boredom eating.

I’m a bit behind - Saturday was a pass day but I’ve squeaked through with two yeses today and yesterday. I’ve been on my feet too much today and so working tomorrow will be good for me - I’ll be sitting at my desk resting my legs!

Exercise, yes 30 mins yoga, 25 mins exercise bike, 2 hours walking. Tracking - yes Calories - yes Not often I have a busy day since we’ve been in lockdown, but actually had a fun, busy and relatively social day. Took a day off work but we’re so busy I had to attend a couple of calls anyway. Went for al looong walk with my…

Exercise- yes 25 mins Pilates, 20 mins exercise bike, 60 mins walking. Tracking - yes Calories- yes

@lesdarts180 I am so very sorry for your loss. Not something a parent should go through. I don’t know what to say except that you and your family are in my thoughts, I hope you can lean on one another to get through this terrible time. Xx

@lesdarts180 I can’t imagine your pain, my thoughts are with you
