Hi everyone... loving this idea of a twin! I am 49 years old 5 Ft 7" CW 190 GW 156 - (by the time I am 50 in November!!) I have restarted MFP today... I have just started doing a Pilates DVD daily, I walk the dog every day - hate exercise, love wine .... hence the weight problem. Anyone wants to twin up with me please…

Ooooh sounds good to me! :tongue:

I LOVE this site!!! How can anyone fail when there is soooo much encouragment out there!!! What a difference one post = numerous replies and 10 minutes can make to make you feel charged and ready to go again!!! Thanks a million everyone - I do appreciate and take on board every one off your comments! Many thanks - hope you…

Really???? Well thats encouraging!! - Thank You very much :smile:

Yea!!!!! Knew we could do it Team purple! - Well done everyone on the challenge tho!!! I have a Border Terrier called Bruno - who has just turned 6 (not too sure what that is in doggie years tho) Hope everyone has a good week!!!! Paula x

Her DVD`s are the only exercise dvds I actually look forward to (and believe me, I`ve bought quite a few dust collectores in my time if you know what I mean ha ha) I too have just bought the set with the bands. (off ebay tho) She seems so genuine and the walks are sooooo easy to follow. LOVE IT :love:

No worries - been there, done that, got the T Sirt as they say i was exactly the same last week - weighed myself Friday - gained 2lb, so had a total blow out weekend, drank and ate what I wanted, Monday morning - gained ANOTHER 2lb - worked really hard this week and lost the 4lb I had gained!! Next week is another week for…

Oooh its the simple things that keep us going.... I will google those scales cos I know where you`re coming from, its so frustrating when you cant depend on your scales, sometimes all your hard work seems wasted just by a "mis - measurement" on those bloody scales!!!! Well done on your weight loss, and as you say it takes…

Thank You - :happy:

Hmmmm some good suggestions there - makes me feel hungry ha ha Have i missed the thread for the Friday weigh in - cant see it ?

Here Here!

FRIDAY - QOTD OK its Friday so I`m going to keep this simple. One sentence answers only! I am your Fairy God mother and can grant you one wish today - you can chose ONE food or drink thats going to change to Fat Free & Calorie Free and you can enjoy for the rest of your diet without any consequences....... Mine is Cream…

WEDNESDAY QOTD IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE FREEBIE WHERE YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WORK AT CHANGING IT, WHERE OR WHAT WOULD IT BE? The highest metabolism my body would allow - then I would not have to worry about me weight/shape again! THURSDAY QOTD: Ever since you started on your weight loss journey, what has been your biggest…

I`m thinking so .... but hey - exercise is exercise no mattter what we call it or how we do it ha ha - TEAM PURPLE YEAHHHHHHH!:happy:

Challenge Tuesday - Extra activity 100 star jumps (admittedly not consecutive ha ha)

MONDAY QOTD Eating is a social thing, but when people try to tempt you to eat something which you know you shouldn't, and (probably) they know you shouldn't, what do you say?/How do you deal with it? eg: When people say, ' Oh just one, it won't hurt.' etc etc Any good tips out there? I turn the tables on people who try to…

Thanks again girls! I feel so so so motivated this week - GO TEAM PURPLE YEAHHHHHH! :laugh:

Thank you so much girls for allowing me to stay - my daughter goes back to Spain today, so I will start afresh tomorrow. My inspiration now is that she wont be home for another 3 months (Christmas) and I want her to see a new me!!! Once again thanks a lot for your support and here`s to week 4!! Paula :flowerforyou:

Are you eating your exercise calories back? This bit scares me, so sometimes I do and sometimes I dont - but my scales aint budging the right way either :ohwell: Paula x

Girls - I`m so sorry but I have gained 2lbs this week. I am not giving an excuse for my weight gain ... but I can give a reason, my daughter has been home from Spain (for a week - I won`t see her now till Christmas) where she studies and is an au pair - My gain is due to too much drinking and eating with her and family but…

You should be so very proud of yourself!! Well Done!! :flowerforyou:

Tuesday's QoTD: We've had a lot of questions about food, but what about exercise....what is your favorite type of exercise? Have you tried something new since you've started the weight loss journey? Do you have a routine/schedule that you follow or just do whatever? I just love Leslie Sansone Walking DVD`s - I actually…

Hey - No worries! Today is a new day, as long as you enjoyed your cookies - and are aware you went over whats done is done. But good on you getting your crunches in - Keep up the good work!! :flowerforyou:

Hiya, Why not change your weigh day to Friday, that way you have longer after the weekend to burn off your weekend sins!! It could be worth a try. Good Luck Paula x

Tuesday 50 Crunches - WOW They`re hard :ohwell: 10 Glasses of water - Whoop!! :happy: Good Luck Purples x

Congratulations on being over weight!!! Well Done! :tongue:
