Sunny South Africa! :-) http://jessv40days.blogspot.com/

And me too, I'm in Centurion. MFP is a great tool, you're going to love it! xx

Thank you! Yes, looking forward to getting into better habits in the 40 days. :-) xx

Fabulous, you look great, well done!! Inspiring, thanks for sharing! xx

LOL, I realised after I posted that I was using a word that only South Africans would understand, haha! Debra is in Eastern Cape, I'm in Gauteng. :-D

Sjoe, you guys burn a lot!! Previously my aim was to burn 300 calories, about 4 times a week. Obviously this is the reason why I'm not losing the weight the way i'm hoping to!!! Think going to try aim for 500 calories, 5 times a week. Will keep an eye on this thread! xx

Danielle - 9! Beautiful smile and pretty hair!

Wow, you look fabulous! Well done! Thanks for sharing, such an inspiration. xx

So inspiring, well done! Thanks for sharing. xx

Well done! So inspiring. Thanks for sharing pics! xx

Wow, well done, you look fantastic! Thanks for inspiration! xx

Oh wow, you look amazing. Well done - super inspiring! So sorry about your hard journey and so sorry about your cousin, that's just so so sad. Your workout routine is fabulous - you go girl! Thanks for sharing your success story - much appreciated! xx PS Agree with the others - love how you look happier and happier in each…

It is hard with only face pics. Not sure how to activate my ticker to show on my posts? It does show on my profile, i think!! Anybody that has commented but hasn't been guessed yet? xx

Ohmydaze - 140lbs? xx

Guessing Tiffany at 140, and deadbeatsummer at 150? xx

Thanks Tiffany, thanks deadbeat!!! :-D You gals do me good! Can't see much from my profile pic. I'm at 151 at the moment. xx

jnhu - 160lb?

Lula - 110lb? xx

Our gym has a machine that simulates ski'ing, it's called TechnoGym Wave. I guess it's sort of like stepping, but goes sideways, so exercises more muscles. Awesome calorie burn! Currently that's my fave. Elliptical is a firm fave too.

I'm in the same boat! It's so easy to follow healthy eating and exercise habits during weekdays - weekends, not so much. Thanks for posting this, there's some great advice given. I weigh on a Sunday morning, and then Sunday is my cheat day. One would think this would keep me motivated to be really good on a Saturday still…

South Africa :happy:

My rewards aren't weekly, they're based on reaching mini-goals with my weight loss. Mostly my rewards are things like a pedi, a hair treatment, a movie date. Can't wait for next reward of buying a new pair of jeans! I like the idea someone suggested above of rewarding yourself by putting some cash aside each week - that…

I don't log my calories on Sundays, which is my cheat day (usually.) This post has given me an idea, to log, for interest sake and see what the damage actually is! I'm guessing it's probably around 500 - 1000 calories more than usual. But rest of the time I'm really good at staying just under my calorie goal.
