  • Hi all, I'm joining for January but thought I'd say hi now :smile: I'm weighing in on a Monday and not properly 'starting' until Friday, as our NYE plans are always a bit carb-heavy. Looking forward to the accountability.
  • Thanks Megan! I think I need an invite too please - no reply button on that thread for me.
  • Is there room for one more, please? MFP USER NAME: DD265 YOUR CHOSEN WEIGH-IN DAY: Monday YOUR CURRENT WEIGHT: 200 YOUR ORIGINAL STARTING WEIGHT: 200 PREFERRED TEAM: No preference
  • Do you like home cooked food generally? It can help to have a handful of dishes that you really enjoy eating, then making them is less of a chore as you'll be 'rewarded'. You can choose quick recipes too - a stir fry, for example; the cutting of the veg (but you could buy pre-cut to begin with) is the slowest part but we…
  • I would cook thawed meat and then re-freeze, personally, but 1/2 day in my fridge wouldn't have thawed the meat at all.
  • I agree with that. Commit to running with somebody who doesn't live with you - I find if you live together, it can be easier to talk each other out of going. I've managed to run 3x a week since the start of November with ladies from my village, whereas if I was going with my husband, we'd have probably skipped more times…
  • OH got me an Osprey waist pack (aka bum bag) as when we go on 5-7 mile walks I don't necessarily want to take a rucksack but pockets aren't always enough. We'll be building up to a 21 mile walk in September (hopefully). Kind of a fitness item... I also got enough cash to cover the cost of the Brooks Ghost 13 road running…
  • I hope things settle down and you can relax soon
  • Ours is in the garage - unfortunately said garage has been given over to storage and DIY for a while, so I've had to suck it up and bring some resistance bands inside - this is an old photo before I bought boxes for the shelves and we acquired more stuff. Tidying it up (and cleaning all the dust off it from when hubby was…
  • I've just signed up with the intention of preparing now to start tracking in January. I'm off work until the 4th and it's the perfect time to work out meal plans, try new recipes and batch cook. Like you Reenie, I think I have a better chance of success if I plan it all out beforehand. The UK is all fun and games at the…
  • I'm about 30 minutes south of Sheffield. Tier 3 for us, we've dodged tier 4 in the latest announcement (this afternoon) and hoping it stays that way as having to pair off makes our small running group awkward. :D
  • Hey Dogmom I thought that about repetitive meal planning, but figure if I can work out a week's worth, with each day having a different dinner as you suggest, then I have 7 days worth of options to start with. The danger with trying to do more than that - or calculating it as I go - is that I would get overwhelmed. That…
