  • I failed! I gave in to two digestives on Thursday! This weeks challenge is already part is of my normal lifestyle anyway. Instead I think I will vow to only use the stairs at work.... No lifts (unless there is a medical emergancy of course!) this will be hard as I work high up! Yikes!

  • Well done! I managed to burn 4525kcals by MFP standards and am in shock! I vow to kick the biscuits at work, I often have one or two each shift (three times a week) and although it is usually only a digestive or boring biscuit it would be nice not to feel I need to use them to keep the sweet cravings away and find another…

I guess 1lb is ok, and it is still a loss.... I am…
  • I did it, and I must say it was rather lovely, if high on the calorie count!
  • Hope you are finding you momentum again today :) I made the silly mistake of going light on my diet today in order to have enough calories to afford a couple of glasses of prosecco with a friend..... *dizzy*

  • Not a fan of guacamole no. But have plans to put avocado in salad at the weekend :)
  • Back on it now and feeling good again (not that I ever fell off but more that I was daunted by the long term goals!) long may the OOMPF remain!
  • I'm going to try avocado..... I don't know why but it has never appealed. But I'll give it a go! Xx
  • Having a bit of a low day today in feeling that I'll never get there.... So I'm not that big, but also I'm not that small. I really crave getting back to my pre pregnancy weight, or at least near to, but 23lbs feels like so much to lose! And I'm working so damn hard! It isn't that I'm particularly hungry or craving foods,…
  • Had a terrible day at work today and just got in, dinner ha been missed, and cereal it is. My first bad day in two weeks, in terms of not eating 3 square meals, but still made healthier choices to rubbish and stayed way under my calorie goal plus two power walks of 7km in total. So I guess as far as bad days go it wasn't…

Everybody has done fabulous! Keep up the good work!
  • I'm always up for a challenge! Count me in :)
  • I do exactly this on my work days....! I have already logged my foods for tomorrow and so if any sneaky digestives come into the mix I know whether or not I'm allowed them! Haha! Well done :)
  • Today has gone well, apart from a 13.5 hour shift :( I'm finding on my days at work I don't get to eat back my power walking calories but still eat between 1000-1200 kcals... Not even sure if this is ok??!! Hasn't served me bad so far though so trying not to over think it!
  • That's actually great! Sweat them out!
  • Try it toasted with a healthy topping, I like mine with chicken and baby spinach, with a small serving of salad cream :)
  • Aren't bugs just the worst??!! I find that as soon as I start being good and eating well, working out, I get something to set me back! I've been lucky this time so far! Just finished a mega 12.5 hour shift plus 7km in walking, gotta do it all again tomorrow but at least people have notice I'm shaping up a bit! Received…
  • My husband and I both work shifts which often includes weekends, and so everyday kind of feels the same, except the kids are off school. I do however give myself Saturday's to have a break from being really strict and eat a few of the things I miss throughout the rest of the 6 days, homemade bread, pile of pasta, piece of…
  • Today has been good, managed not to skip lunch as got home on time, plus my two power walks, leaving me with a good deficit :) Managed to cover 12km altogether today and 16000 steps :) Loki g forward to tomorrow, I always take Saturday's off 'Fat Saturday's!' Just to maintain my sanity. I don't go crazy but I do eat some…
  • You could try something more wholegrain like rye bread or rye crackers? Or wholegrain crackers of any sort is good. I'm not a fan of rye bread but will eat it as I know it is good for me and will help stave off those fluffy shop breads! I find with any bad habit of mine that if I go through 3 days of not having it and cry…
