Sorry, what day is it again?

Cut your favourites into vests and wear them to work out in (?)

Good for you for doing it. So many (strong) men refuse to do it because they're intimidated by the stretching so I applaud you for taking up the challenge. I would also encourage you to be brave and go to a class. A good teacher will help you improve your postures and then you'll get more out of it. It sounds to me like…

Amen, brother. Than/then is my pet hate and so many people seem to get it wrong, it boggles my mind. The other one, especially on MFP, that drives me up the wall is the number of people who want to "loose" weight. I even thought, jokingly, of starting a group for people who know how to spell "lose". I don't bother to point…

I think the closest one in South Africa would be Heritage Day, September 24. Wiki: "On this day, South Africans across the spectrum are encouraged to celebrate their culture and the diversity of their beliefs and traditions, in the wider context of a nation that belongs to all its people."

Where are our other players?! I hope you're all working hard on your goals. I've definitely stepped it up knowing we have a weigh-in coming (1000 calories today at the gym and trying to stay away from those sneaky carbs). Be good, Aqua!

Hello my Aqua peeps! Pleased to meet you all. My name is Elizabeth. I'm 37 and I live in South Africa. I have a more involved weight story on my home page, but here I will say briefly that I struggle with yo-yo "lifestyle changing". I live in extremes, so I'm either exercising like mad and living on salad or stuffing my…

I just set up my new Fitbit and have signed up for this mini-challenge. Thanks Irek! I'm really excited there is a fitness element to this challenge.

Here's my tip: just promise yourself that you will log all your foods -- even if you "break the diet". Don't have a perfectionist all-or-nothing attitude to eating. I used to think like that, but that just sets you up for pigging out and then telling yourself, "Okay, tomorrow will be the day". Sometimes that just puts way…

I didn't realise when I was reading your post that it was too late for intervention. Anyway, well done for reaching out and for resisting the urge. I wanted to share my strategy when a big night looms: I remind myself that I will feel super-amazing the next day if I acknowledge a surfacing urge to binge -- and then ignore…

Hello everyone. Just thought I'd check in with my Pink Panthers, see how everyone's doing. I also seem to be hovering around a bit of a plateau. Put on 200g at my last weigh-in -- even though I thought I should have lost. Funny, if I had cheated with my calories and gained 200g I would have thought I got away with…

Hi everybody, So my first week, I have not put up a spectacular loss. I have stayed within my calories and exercised a lot, but I REALLY need to get a better handle on limiting my sugar intake. I have this terrible habit of having a spectacular day ... right until I get home from work. Then, especially when I'm playing in…

My week #1 mini goals 1. Drink at least 1 litre of water every day. 2. Do not go over my calories. 3. Don't spend too many calories on sweets. (I know that's vague but it's something I'm trying to pay attention to). 4. Work out every day (possibly one rest day on Wednesday if I feel like it). 5. Take some pictures for…

I don't believe that all calories are equal. In my experience, if I spend a lot of my calories on carbs, sugar and alcohol ... even if I stay within my limits, it stalls my weight loss. If I spend the same amount by having a protein shake for breakfast, and watching my carbs the rest of the day, I always get a better…

Hi there everybody. I'm Elizabeth, 38 years old. I've been on MFP for a few years and (after an initial weight loss, which I didn't log), I have been dancing around the same weight for so long. I lose, I gain it back, I lose, I gain it back. But I am a really competitive person, so I hope the team challenge aspect and the…
