Well yesterday was a great success NOT!! Didn't get chance to ride :cry: BUT did clean out the boys last night, which only took 15 mins and wasn't very arduous (?) at all! I also got my 30 mins on the treadmill in AND I did track all my calories so I was suppose one miss wasn't too bad. I was going to ride tonight instead…

It should say at the bottom of your daily goals where you log your food.....there's total number of calories / carbs / something else that I can't remember! / proteins.

HAHAHAHAHA :laugh: I didn't even think that but knew the line you were going down. I'm up in Morecambe so can either go to a West Cumberland Farmers or the local tack shop, although they are rather limited! Think I might be doing a bit of online shopping tonight as need sponges as well....GROANS.....that's more money spent…

I know I've been away for a week, we've just had some new additions to the household so things have been a bit hectic, plus been covering a colleague at work so the last thing I wanted to do was spend a few hours on my laptop each evening! However I did track last week and lost a pound after 2 weeks of going nowhere so…

WOOHOOO FINALLY GOT A RIDE IN TODAY!:happy: It was only a quick ride round the local village but hey, a ride is a ride right? Planning a loooong one on Sunday plus one on Saturday too. Tractors were today's scary thing, eventhough we've walked passed it a hundred times....apart from that Shy was very happy to be out and…

I know there isn't a week 3 thread yet BUT....plan is this week: Ride Thursday - 30 mins (maybe 40) Saturday - quick groom (10 mins) and ride, about 40 mins Sunday - long groom plus ride - 40 to 50 minutes. Fingers crossed the weather holds and we get none of that nasty white stuff that has been forecasted in various…

Hi M, Where abouts in Lancashire are you? I'm just outside Morecambe, great for beach rides....do you have any sugesstions for good day hacks as thinking about boxing up and going to new places this year.

Ok, how do I do this?

Not done anything this week BUT, will ride Saturday and Sunday this weekend. It's my Avon week this week and I would normally ride on a Thursday night but I've got to get my brochures out so I can't even fit in a groom tomorrow :( So a nice ride both days of the weekend is in order.

I'll post some of Moo tonight

Not done anything yet. Planned to ride on Tuesday but typical it was raining! Was going to ride tonight but realised I've got Avon orders to get ready for tomorrow night and one to take out as the lady is going on holiday tomorrow. I have done two out of three of my treadmill days though, which does mean I'm getting…

So today, I was hoping to get one of my 3 rides in for the week. But.... British weather strikes again!! It's throwing it down and it's forecast like it all day, so I won't be able to go tonight after work, like I was planning to :sad:

Salsa81 My challenges are: To ride 3 times a week for at least 40 minutes and When grooming, groom for at least 15 minutes

I did Slimming World a long time ago and have done Weight Watchers both on the internet, going to a group and on my own. I must admit that I find WW a lot easier to understand and as long as you stick to it all, the weight does come off. I've lost about 3.5 stone (about 50 pounds) on weight watchers over the last 3-4…

Got my 2 in this weekend YAY!!!!! The weather was lovely and despite not having any company we got two really good hacks in. On Saturday we went down this single track road which leads to nowhere, so you have to turn round and come back. I love this track as it's on a tidal road and leads to a very little village at the…

Last week I got my 3 rides in. This week not doing so well. The weather here has been unpredictable to say the least and I was out on Wednesday night so as of yet, not got a ride in this week. Weather permitting, my aim is to get 2 in this weekend, 1 both days.......fingers crossed for light drizzle or no rain!! Hopefully…

Hi, I'm type 2 and since I've started using MFP, I too have dropped my carbs. I've also noticed that since I've been on here and been tracking that I don't seem to have my 'down lulls' in energy anymore, especially after lunch. Not had my HBA1c done for a while and need to get a check up anyway so it will be interesting…

I'm waiting for our clocks to go forward (only 2 weeks to go) and then my goal will be to hack out at least 3 times a week! At the moment, it will only be once a week at a weekend. But when I go, I do give Shy a good groom (about 20 minutes).

HI Guys, Thanks for the advice. Think I'm gonna give it a go next week and see what happens. I'll keep you posted!

Bacon Sarnies are my absolute favourite and I wouldn't give them up now (I was once a vegetarian and didn't have one for around 10 years) But.....everything in moderation I have had to give up sweet things due to my diabetes but I do have a treat every now and then

Start weight = 201 pounds Goal weight = 191 pounds

What's your name? Sally Where do you live? Just outside Morecambe in England How long have you been riding? On and off since I was 13, so around 18 years What's your discipline? Don't really have one can watch all Dressage, Showjumping and 3 day Eventing events til the cows come home! Not brave enough to jump, had far too…

I weigh in on a Saturday morning, does that matter?

I'm 31 next month and although I've not done very well this year....in the last 4 years I've lost around 4 stone. I know it doesn't seem much but I'd rather take it slowly and keep it off. And it seems to work. When I decide I want a break from dieting, I tend to find that I still watch what I eat and hover around the same…

Hi, I've got a set of WW scales that I bought a couple of years ago and they're great. They do BMI, Body Fat, Body Water, Weight. Plus you can set it to your age and how active you are. The only downside is that it doesn't track your weight every time you step on....but I'm not so bothered about that as I use MFP and Libra…

Living just outside Morecmabe

I'm ill :( got a stinking cold from my parents at the weekend, however, I'm not letting that deter me :) Went for my first lunch time walk today, as it was the first day that it wasn't raining. Looks like though the treadmill might be back on at home so might include that as well, or interchange if the weather continues to…

Day 3 and I'm doing OK.... Managed to do the replacing tea with water thing (and I'm finding I need the loo more often!) Won't be able to go see my loan horse this weekend as I'm off to my parent's house. So I'll make sure I'll go the next couple of weekends. Went for a walk at lunch yesterday....can't go today but will…

My goals are: 1)To replace 2 cups of tea at work with at least two glasses of water and drink at least 4 glasses of water. 2)To go and ride my loan horse on a Saturday and Sunday (which means getting up early on a Saturday) 3)To go for a walk at lunch time twice a week or Swim early morning twice a week 4)Log everything I…
