I've got Week 1 Day 3 lined up for tomorrow night. I don't have a gym membership, so it's the mean streets for me :tongue: in the cold, and the wet :sad: I chickened out last night, and just did it indoors, jogging on the spot and running up and down my living room. I tried to increase the difficulty of it though, and had…

This is my planned workout routine. Mon: 200 Sit up, 100 push up, C25K Tue: 30DS Wed: 200 Sit up, 100 push up, C25K Thur: 30DS Fri: 200 Sit up, 100 push up, C25K Sat / Sun: Ride bike if possible Current levels: - 200 sit ups: W3D1 - last night did 125 in total - 100 push ups: Initial test - only managed 5 full push ups,…

I'll give this a go. I'll start tonight and see how many I can do! I'm guessing that it'll probably be less than 2 lol Edit: Just read the "What is a sit-up" part of the site, and it says it uses crunches, which is what I do each day anyway (I did 50 this morning!). I'm not entirely certain that I've been doing them…

I tried the 30DS and couldn't do the push ups. I've since put the DVD back on the shelf and have been slowly building up my strength at my own pace. I did "girly" pushups to start with, with a few wall pushups thrown in now and then, and I can now do real ones. All I did was tell myself that I had to do at least the same…

Thanks for posting! :smile:

I track everything, even this Saturday just gone which was a total write-off! Nearly double my recommended :noway: I'm on this site to keep a track of me, and if I'm not honest with myself, how am I supposed to do that? If I cheat on the food diary, I'm only cheating myself and making it harder to lose the weight.

That's such a shame to hear :frown: *hugs for you* Hopefully your relationship will improve once you are no longer living together. I'm no expert, but having been through similar where my mum moved in with me for a few months, I think it's because some mums just don't realise that we are adults with our own likes and…

You look amazing! Congratulations! :drinker: :happy: I'm the same height as you but I'm still at the start of the journey. I hope I look as good as you when I get to my goal (140lb).

After my final outing, I'm now up to 6.1 miles. Only 1.5 miles to go before I can look back at the pretty Hobbiton lights :smile:

I just finished my first day of week one. The first few running/jogging parts were killing me, but the last two or three weren't too bad. It was harder than I had expected - never realised how long 60 seconds was!! - but it did seem to get easier at the end, which was also a surprise, but a nice one. :smile:

I've used a variation of mine for about 15 years...it was originally inspired by the mascot of Alisha's Attic. Remember them? :bigsmile: I loved them when I was a teenager, and the name kinda stuck with me.

I'm only just ahead of you, between the plank bridge and the great road. Travelled 4.2 miles and counting... off to add another 1.9miles as walking to meet my fiance from work... see you in Tookland :happy:

Hi I'm Sam and I saw the thread on the MFP board yesterday :smile: I'm only just starting out, and I'm working my way from Hobbiton to Rivendell. I'm 4.2 miles in so far so I'm nearly into Tookland!

Awesome thread! I'll try to catch you guys up... if I count my two lunchtime walks (yesterday and today) I'm only 2 miles in, so I'm still following the hedgerows :happy:

I've just bought a new electronic scale where you just step on it from JTF for £9.99 if that helps at all. Seems pretty good and has a nice big display.

Going to be looking for a sports bra tomorrow, so bumping to save it so I can peruse the recommended brands when I get home tonight. :bigsmile:

I weigh myself most days, but my only "official" weigh-in day is Monday, so none of the others really count :smile: If the number has gone up, it doesn't mean anything, and if it goes down, I feel a little bit happier :happy:

I went caffeine-free last year. I went cold turkey and switched to camomile and fruit teas (I found I really like Twinings Apple and Camomile), and lots of water. I had an absolute monster headache for about 2 days, but after that it wasn't too bad. I was completely caffeine-free for about 8 months, but I've recently…

Sounds nice :smile: Bump!

I don't care who knows how much I weigh. I started at 188 about 3 weeks ago, and I'm currently down to 185, with my official weigh in on a Monday so hopefully lost an extra little bit by then :wink: The only two people I have on my friends list are my fiance and my RL best friend, and they both know how much I weigh. My…

Rollercoasters... I live fairly close to Alton Towers in UK, and I've been there a few times. I like the childish feeling of being in a theme park, but I'm petrified of rollercoasters. I once jumped off the log flume ride just before the last big drop as I was so scared... can only imagine the confusion of the ride workers…

I have some of the 3-2-1 meal bars, but only because I saw them cheap and thought they would be good alongside an apple or something as an easy lunch if I'm rubbish and don't get round to making a packed lunch for work. I don't think I could go on their plan full time, as according to the writeup on the boxes I have, it…

I'm 5'4" and my goal was initially 140. I started at 188 about 2 weeks ago so want to lose close to 50lb. Once I get to 140, I might try for 126 depending on how I look and feel at the time. It's more about getting fitter and looking better than the number on the scale. I'd love to be a UK size 14 again, but would be even…

These look amazing... bumping for later :smile:

Bump for later... I'm sure my fiance will love me even more if I make this :laugh:

I apologise in advance for this post... :smile: On the chart, you have "% of goal lost this week". Your formula is using ( [Lost this week] / [Goal weight] ) * 100. However, shouldn't this be ( [Lost this week] / ( ORIGINAL_AMOUNT_TO_LOSE e.g. [Total lost] +) ) * 100? This makes more sense to me as this would then be "% of…

CW: 185.6 !! :happy: Sam x

Hiya from Staffordshire! :) x

These sound amazing... gonna try making these at some point soon... Thank you for posting! (And to the last person for bumping for me to see it :happy: )
