Ugh, I have the exact same problem. I have a totally stressful job and somedays the only cure is a dose of vino when I get home. It's sad really. That said I've been training for a 10k (this weekend) and have significantly cut back on the booze. I haven't had alcohol in nearly two weeks now. Though there are pub plans…

Sure, why not!? Email or PM easier for you?

Tooting!

I'm in SW London and work in Central London. Would love to meet up with any like-minded ladies sometime!
-
Joining kind of late, me-thinks! I'm from the Tooting area, if you're still looking for a workout buddy... I'm pretty awesome, as it happens!
-
Totally up for it! Let me know details when you've got em!

As hard as it can be, I make 30 minutes of time for myself every day... whether that be giving myself a mani pedi whilst blasting crappy 90s music, reading a book, having a glass of wine and a bubble bath... I try not to include this in with my workout time unless I'm running on my own in the park. 30 minutes of every…

I'm a new fitbit(er) and I've got mixed feelings about it... my workouts, classes etc are all quite varied. Some focus on cardio/running/stepping which the fitbit is absolutely fabulous for. Others focus on weight or endurance training which the fitbit is not-so-great for. I think it really depends on what you want to use…

This thread is totally making my evening.

Love it! Totally geeky, but there's always the Batman version which cracks me up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ5l5ls0hP4

Good on you for taking the first step towards a new, healthy and even more fabulous you! I'm on a similar journey myself... 5'1" and was right 190lbs, now down 156lbs. I still have about 25-30 to go before I'm where I want to be... we'll get there! :-) It's all about doing it slow and changing the way you look at food and…

Anyone remember the Beetlejuice cartoon series??!! Lol... :laugh:

Sailor Moon. :blushing:

Hahah, you nailed it!

Has cut his face off in his photo... :-(

Looks like my cousin!

About four months for me! And I went on holiday for two weeks during that and wasn't able to workout/eat properly.

I love these sorts of lists! I've read 36... not bad! 1. Harry Potter (series), by J.K. Rowling 2. The Hunger Games (series), by Suzanne Collins 3. To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee 4. The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green 5. The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien 6. The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger 7. The Lord of the…

Try out the website jog.fm... I love it! Skrillex's "Bangarang" is a new one for me and not my usual type of music but ridiculously cool to run to. Anything by Girl Talk is great but "All Day" is my favourite to run to as I get bored really easy!
-
I listen to Skrillex when I'm in the gym. It's so not my normal type of music but great for a workout--especially "Breakin' a Sweat".

First time ever joining a challenge!!! SW: 185 (or 84 kg) - this was my start weight in January 2012 CW: 156 (or 71.1kg) GW: 150 (or 68 kg) Just for fun: I'm going on a belated honeymoon in September so I'll be gearing up for that! I already look pretty slammin' in my bikini but I wouldn't mind looking even better.

I've gotten onto the "overnight oatmeal" bandwagon and had banana cocoa (yes, chocolate!) oatmeal this morning and will tomorrow morning. After that it's homemade baked oatmeal squares with bananas and blueberries for the rest of the week. I make 'em on a Sunday, pop them in the fridge after they've cooled and then I'm set…

Like a lot of people have already said, eating back a portion of your exercise calories is fine (and healthy) -- it's extremely rare if I eat back all of my calories. Also it's about what you're eating and not how much. Lots of veggies and protein will fill you up but keep the calorie count lower.

So my first Cheerobics class was pretty fun... and hilarious. I've written a full review on my blog for anyone interested! It was really difficult finding any reviews not endorsed by Cheerobics! http://thelondondiaries.wordpress.com/2012/07/26/give-me-a-cheerobics-week-1/

Yeah, I live in London... my class isn't actually on the map yet. :-)

I started off on MFP in January weighing in at 185lbs and at a size 18. It was horrible being that heavy... I've never been an overly skinny girl but that was the heaviest I've ever been and I was beyond miserable. My blood pressure was high, I couldn't really do anything physical and I was tired all of the time. That…
-
Lots and lots of green stuff! Veggies are fab to fill up on and not a lot of calories. Lean turkey is good too--high in protein and also low cal. The hubby and I have baked turkey breast with roasted tomatoes a lot. :-) Check out BBC Good Food's healthy section of their website--we usually have 2 or 3 things from here each…

I've got a t-shirt that's been made varsity style with my last name on the back and my starting weight... so it looks like I'm a member of some team. I wear it to the gym a lot... it's a reminder of where I've come from and where I'm heading!
-
Thankfully I'm a member of a small gym and all of the guys are pretty friendly. When I started with my trainer (a guy) back in January he had me on the "guy's side" from the get go. I was totally intimidated but a lot of the guys would joke with me and offer tips. My sessions have since ended but the guys are still…
