@jugar can I move to the support team please? There's too much going on for me right now

CW: 97.7 Sorry I can't keep up with posts at the moment, I miss you all.

PW: 98.1 CW: 97.4

PW: 97.7 CW: 98.1 Blaming last nights McDs... @Gidgitgoescrzy I'm sorry to hear about Dawn. <3 @strong_fit_ells I've learned that communication is key, even if sometimes it is hurtful to one or both (name calling, abuse etc excluded!). We've been together 18 years (since we were 17) but our communication has come on…

I'm actually posting an intro, which is one-up on where I was in August! I'm Katie, 35, living in the UK with my husband and our two cats. I work in software, from home mostly, and June-July-August (and September, based on the evidence thus far) have been incredibly busy. In August alone I clocked up 50 hours of overtime.…

PW: 98.2 CW: 97.7

CW: 98.2 Sorry @jugar, I totally lost track what day it is as I'm off work this week.

CW: 97.8

CW: 97.5 Life is still crazy here. I'm working 10-12 hour days, not having my Friday afternoons off, and during those hours I'm constantly rushing from one thing to another. And meetings, so many meetings. I have the last week of August off though, and things should calm down after that as I drop a customer, and will have…

@jugar please may I be excused from weighing in this week?

PW: 96.9 (I think) CW: 97.7 I'm still here by the skin of my teeth. I'm Katie, 35, from Nottingham where I live with my husband and our cats. I work in IT, so a desk job, and if it wasn't for personal training I would get a sum total of zero exercise per week. I am currently working crazy hours and it's still not enough,…

@jugar weigh in stayed the same this week

CW: 96.8 PW: 96.9 A tiny loss but a loss none the less.

CW: 96.9 Quite a big jump for me this week. We had a much-needed weekend away so lots of eating out, my one and only alcoholic drink since September, and more fizzy drinks/fruit juice than water. Since getting home I've been working on getting my body back into its routine of more fibre and more water, but still been…

Well done @ashleycarole86 and Brad!

@lauren989 to improve mobility and strength of some smaller muscle groups. Also if I can get into it, maybe yoga will provide some stress relief and a routine before bed could help me get to sleep. @wdalzell5401 I hope your Dad's move goes well. It sounds as though you do so much for him.

Can I have some recommendations please? On-demand virtual Yoga training for somebody who hates Yoga...

Hi all, sorry my intro is late. I'm Katie, 35, living in the UK with my husband and our cats. I gained weight in my early 20s, and haven't managed to lose it despite trying various things. I've been on a journey of self discovery, and after working with a dietician for 6 months I am comfortable with what I want to do for…

CW: 96kg

CW: 95.9 Garmin doesn't seem to have last weeks weight recorded for some reason. I think it's a small increase anyway, but considering what I've eaten and the lack of exercise, I'm glad it's so small!

@jugar I will weigh in tomorrow - didn't have time before work

@jugar my physio (who is actually a sports injury therapist) says that it's the most commonly injured back muscle in his experience. I don't recommend it; when said muscle cramps, it pulls all the way across the lower back, up to the shoulder, and down the leg! I've got an old book called The New Rules of Posture by Mary…

Welcome to all our new members, this is a great group to be part of :smile: Had a PT/physio session this morning; my QL isn't as rehabilitated as we thought, so we're doing an 8-week programme this time instead of 4. We did 1/3 mobility work, 1/3 hands on physio (much more comfortable than when I saw him on Saturday!) and…

@micki48 re the cat... one of ours protest-poops on the door mat when we've annoyed him. The other urinates outside of the tray when he's having his urinary problems. If you can get a urine sample, it would be a good idea to get that tested. Also, you can try a different litter, litter trays in different locations. She's…

PW: 95.7 CW: 96 We went to the parish council meeting last night, and ended up having fast food for tea afterwards because it finished very late. I've also not been in the best headspace since Saturday, feeling like I have crashed and burned a bit. Those balanced choices have not been coming so naturally this week. I need…

Thinking of you both @jugar @EvMakesChanges and your family and friends. Mom and I had two fantastic days at the BBC Gardeners World Live event. We got to see Monty Don and Alan Titchmarsh from a distance. We also had entry to the BBC Good Food Live event, though that was less interesting and we were really there for the…

PW: 96 CW: 95.7

Congratulations @conleywoods - all your dedication and hard work has paid off. I hope you have some great relaxation plans for your summer break. Tuesday = training day and it was an interesting session. We worked on mobilising the hip flexors and hamstrings, then decided to incorporate some explosive movement. Trainer has…

Happy Monday all. We are mid heatwave, high 20s C/early 80s F, plus quite a bit of humidity, and sleep is proving to be elusive. There was a power cut at 4.45am, which turned our fans and white noises off, plus triggered various house alarms. Then the cats wanted feeding at 7.15, I went back to bed after and was dreaming…

PW: 96.6 CW: 96.0 It's a small loss (much bigger than normal for me, though!) and yet I'm really feeling a difference in my shape; my leggings have been slipping down a bit and there's less of a 'roll' somewhere that was bothering me too. At some point, I shall need to start taking measurements again, as we know we can…
