PW: 178 CW: 177.5 Half a lb is half a lb I guess.

PW: 177.1 CW: 178

PW: 176.6 CW: 177.1 :( Although I did think I'd lost a surprising amount last week so not that surprised. Very busy and unhealthy week too.

An inch off your waist is awesome. Well done! :)

PW 178.4 CW 176.6 I'm shocked! I've hardly been to the gym, I had Nandos for lunch on Monday (travelling with work), desert with dinner on Sunday. Admittedly there 2 or 3 days when I was so busy I only had chicken for lunch and a bowl or two of cereal for dinner! Its certainly not a healthy balanced diet I'm following…

PW: 178.2 CW: 178.4 Oops. Struggling to control my weight with no exercise and interesting times at work right now. Thank you for the hugs - my bursitis doesn't seem to be getting a lot better :| I'm sure as soon as I go back to "normal" exercise it'll come back. Hope everyone else has a good week and well done to everyone…

PW: 178.6 CW: 178.2 Not great but to be honest I'm shocked to have lost anything at all! I'm so fed up at work right now and I haven't exercised all week because I have hip bursitis :| I must try harder though/

PW: 179 (Tues) CW: 178.6 Easter only finished 2 days ago for me so not made too much progress so far! Well done to everyone else though! You're so good!

Oops ... didn't realise we were starting yesterday. :embarassed: It was the Easter Monday holiday in the UK so it was still the "weekend" for me! I definitely ate too many chocolate eggs over the 4 day weekend, along with chocolate cake and yummy home cooked turkey with all the trimmings lol. SW: 179lbs GW: 163lbs Looking…

Oh wow! Individual icons! Thank you so much Pam :) :flowerforyou:

Yay! Looking forward to this challenge, definitely finding that having being part of a group and having to post weigh-ins every week helps to keep me on track and think about why I sometimes lose my way! Woot woot! We're all gonna be beach ready by June :drinker:

PW: 176.2 CW: 175.8 Not a great loss this week, was decorating over the weekend so decided to "traet myself" to a few extra cals and then had particularally bad day Monday and ended up munching through over 3000 calories! Back on the band wagon again though and trying t have a really good few days before the weekend. A big…

PW: 177.7 CW: 176.2 Whoo hoo! And I'm finally below 80kg too (79.9kg this morning) so I can treat myself to my 80kg reward. Yay!

20th March 2012 - my total for today 490. 15 mins on stairmaster = 115 cals 45 Spin class = 375 cals Total for week so far = 1100. MFP has set me a goal of 1950 cals to burn this week. So 850 to go!

19th March = 15 mins bike, 30 ellipical and 20 on stair climber for 620 calories Gonna only do 4 weekday sessions this week but I'm really going to make them count and burn more in 4 days than last week! On the way to the gym now for 7:30 Spin!

Practice makes perfect. Start with lower heels and work your way up! I love wearing heels! Not only can I walk in them but run for trains/buses and up stairs in them too! I don't like wearing flats, especially in the office. I'm 5'7'' in flats so I'm at a height disadvantage compared to the men, whereas with 3-4 inch…

I use an epilator on my arms & hands every couple of weeks in the summer cos I have dark hair. I'd be a bit worried about getting prickly short hair all at the same time if I shaved, the advantage of epilating is the hairs are removed at the root so come back at different times depending on where they are in their grown…

Saturday 17th MarchElliptic 17 mins = 96 cals PT session (core, chest, back and arm workout) 50 mins = 100 cals. Total for today 196 cals. Overall total for week = 1351 cals which isn't bad. Nearly half a lb or 0.2kg. I've not pushed myself too much this week because I gave blood at the weekend and I normally take about 2…

... your arms are shaking so much after your workout you can't hold the hairdryer to dry your hair!

I'm going to reward myself with new workout clothes. I love cute workout clothing and I work out hard in the gym so I'm looking forward to buying some bright yellow and coral vest tops!

Catch-up time ... I log my exercise my on my Android app immediately after my workout so I can't easily post to the topic at the same time! Weds - Circuit class 35 mins and 10 mins walking = 340 calories Thursday - Elliptical trainer 30 mins = 225 calories (hurt my ankle in circuits so couldn't run or do anything high…

I normally take a bumbag (fanny pack in the US I believe) when I run outside to carry my house keys, mobile phone (in case I get injured or there is an emergency while I'm out) and I tend to take it to races too.

PW: 178 CW: 177.7 I feel my CW is higher than it really is due to TOM and possibly eating a lot more sodium than I'm used to which might be causing me to retain water. My diet has been very good since Sunday, so its next week I'm going to be cutting back on the Innocent Veg pots at nearly 900mg of sodium a pot!!! Next week…

I get my gym kit and work clothes ready the night before an early morning gym session because I have to catch such an early train to go to the gym that if I miss my train then I'll have to wait half an hour for the next one! Cos I'm chosing my clothes the night before they do tend to co-ordinate yes - I wouldn't say…

Yay first 2 weigh-ins are both great! :smile: I'm weighing in Thursday cos its my TOM and my weight is definitely up at the moment! Plus I have circuits tomorrow which should help me lose too!

Tuesday 13th March15 mins on Stairclimber L6-8 = 75 cals 40 mins in Spinning class = 200 cals Total = 275. Looking forward to cardio and circuit class tomorrow morning, although can't push quite as hard as normal after giving blood at the weekend.

Scary isn't the same as evil! I don't like striking up conversations with people when I'm out and about anyway - maybe its a city thing!

I definitely find ink intimidating. Rightly or wrongly I associate ink with people who are strongly opinionated, sometimes a bit rough around the edges and individuals who don't care so much about what other people think. I find these type of people difficult to talk to, so yes, I'll avoid people with visible tattoos.…

Oh no I'm leaving the Red Team! Ah well Helllllo Black Team :drinker:! Lets get ready to lose more than the Reds and Greens :)

I can't eat before ... I'm not waking up 2 and a half hours before my workout just to eat! :noway: I don' think its done me any harm - I do tend to have breakfast within an hour or so of finishing my workout. Everyone is different - if you find eating before helps then do it but I wouldn't worry excessively about meal…
