I was going to suggest getting drunk before making the journey (as long as you're not driving obviously) but this could make things worse. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks but no real phobias as such and although mine have put my job at risk, I appear to be managing them much better now. You need to really look for…

sorry i'm not a graduate but i have attempted to start it a few times. I am interested in hearing how other people experience the programme so I'm leaving a comment.

morning. just hopped on the scales and 1.1 pounds lost. Hope you all have a pleasant day

Evening everyone, I was going to try pilates with my mum tonight but when we got there they said that the pilates teacher had left and it was going to be a "spiral" class or something but mfp has never heard of it. it was ok though - focussed on balance and stretch and I reckon I'll try it again next week - maybe after a…

Yes, I get this when I'm not drinking enough water too. Not sure what you mean by water packets but I tend to drink it out of the tap, machine at work/gym or bottles purchased from the shop.

OWLS: 30 NEWTS: 18 House Points: 180 Didn't make my spin class today - I fell asleep and ate a lot of chocolate instead. Fellow Huffles can add me too if you want but be warned that I'm not too interactive with the whole "woohoo"s and "wtg"s although I do try:smile:

hufflepuff champs!

hah, thanks jen, that was a good use of your work time and I think it's amazing that you manage to retain that much info about everyone on here - I'm afraid my talents lie in other (perhaps uncharted) areas. Molly, I have no doubt you'll have made a good impression on your interviewers and that you'll have no problem…

30DS requires a mat and some weights and that's all. To begin with I was using my rug and some soup tins :laugh: I am unsure about that p90x thing as I've never really looked into it. You say that you do running and that's brilliant cardio. Perhaps your body is used to the exercise you're doing, may be worth doing…

Have you tried the 30 Day Shred? It's not for everyone but lots of people report that they lose a lot of weight in a short time and it's only 20 mins workout. The idea is that you do it 3 or 4 times each week and at the end of the programme you're meant to look like Jillian Michaels :tongue: I just suggest it because lots…

yes, I was going to ask how long because your diet appears to be pretty good...although sometimes you appear to have lots of calories left (but I rarely have more than 100 over so I may be feeling jealousy!) I'm not about to tell you that you don't need to lose weight becuase clearly you want to - perhaps the strength…

you say that you are in catch 22 because you don't have energy to exercise...start small; attack the garden at the weekend and walk to the shop instead of drive. challenge yourself to do a minute of jump rope or get a friend to join a class with you. But start small to begin with and as you gain more interest you'll…

also "squirms" work on the side areas. And whenever I'm sweating it on the treadmill pretending to be forest gump I imagine my hips to be melting off but I could just be deluded.

OWLS: 20 NEWTS: 11 House Points: 100 I have decided that I need to make more use out of my gym membership and do other things other than just using the gym so I'm going to try aqua aerobics next week; apparently it's a killer class. I have found "rainbow" themed veg packs in asda so I'm eating those all week to knock up my…

points for the week so far: OWLS: 1 NEWTS: 6 House Points: 60 last night i went to the shop and got crisps and chocolate and as i sat there eating it all, the temporary cap came off one of my bad teeth, which made me stop. I agree with molly, Jen W's 100 lost pounds are astonishing. I have had trouble enough losing 8…

Yeah Queeda, I hope you feel better soon; you are a great leader and I'm sure you're also a fabulous mum too! ignore your sister; sisters can be idiots. Molly, as for the skype thing, I'm not good on the phone let alone video link so I probably wouldn't join in. By the way I just realised that I skipped the word…

Phone people and find out what they're doing. Maybe arrange something with other bored friends like getting ingredients to make something yummy for dinner and watch a film or play scrabble or something. Or sometimes I will just do something at home by myself like make a card for someone's approaching birthday, knit…

I did yoga for the first time in ages last tuesday and on wednesday I had an almighty pain in my back which is still hanging around. I decided to go because I felt very achey and lethargic and apart from my back ache, it did help with the aches I originally had.

Evening, stats for today: OWLS: 1 (did gardening which I wouldn't normally do very often so I'm counting it as "new" exercise) NEWTS: 3 House Points: 60 EDIT - By the way, how's the 30DS challenge going?

Last week's totals: NEWTS 2 OWLS 0 House Points 335 Great challenge Jen - I've been trying to try new things for a few weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to get back on it with the proper exercise - bad backs are frustrating!

I did this a few weeks ago. Chin up, you're doing well innit :smile:

Sorry been a bit absent, you know how things go sometimes. Lost 3.3 pounds this week. No change in other stats so far. I'm afraid that not only have I hurt my back, I also went to the dentist yesterday and have a sore mouth and flappy gums and what I'm saying is that I haven't got any owls and still only one newt. and I…

Stats for the week so far: NEWTS 1 OWLS 0 (sorry, first I was lazy then I hurt myself) House Points 290 Went swimming today and was shocked at how much my eyesight has deteriorated; I had to ask directions both to the toilets and also where the steps to the pool were because I just can't see anything without my specs…

I have got one newt! I'm pleased with it. Edit: by the way, I have hurt my back so no exercise for me. Apparently yoga makes me slightly too flexible so same stats as posted yesterday but with a baby newt.

yeah, awesome. It's amazing I didn't set fire to myself!

I just thought the picture worked well on mine. And it was a toss up between the frog or the fish. Not sure why the fish won. Also I went for amount of weight to go because at the time it seemed more optimistic than amount of weight lost when I set it up...but now I think about it amount lost is probably best. Oh I don't…

yep. take a towel and some water and buy yourself a special cushion for afterwards.

guh. sorry, ignore this.

Sorry it's 240 house points
