  • Regardless of the weight, you are doing your health a massive favour by ditching the soda and fast food so be proud of that. I rarely weigh myself as I find a tape measure is a more accurate measure of my progress, it's worth doing measurements and recording those on the app even if you want to keep weighing as well.…
  • Yes x3 Exercise was 10 minutes incline walk on treadmill to warm up then 1 hour lower body strength work
  • Yes x 3 20 minute run Almost all my victories are non scale- sometimes a year can go by without me weighing myself. I want to lose fat in some areas and build muscle in others so the scales aren't for me. But I find the tape measure never lies so that is what I use. NSVs: -Since starting UAC I have lost a quarter of an…
  • Just wondering what band you paired the vivosmart HR to, as I read somewhere else (when I was searching for which chest strap to buy) that this is the only Garmin HR watch that won't pair with a chest strap. I really want to start using a chest HRM for hill sprints etc as the vivosmart doesn't work well for this on me, so…
  • Yes x3 Grit plyo 30 minutes and fit in 4x 5 minute walks where I could during the day
  • Exercise-yes. 20 minute jog at 6am today. First time in years I've been up and out that early to run and I really enjoyed it. 30 minute walk at lunch. Calories- yes. Had to be really careful not to go over today. Tracked- yes.
  • Exercise- yes. This morning when i sat up in bed, yawned & stretched my arms out, something pinged in my upper back and it's been bothering me all day, so I am pleased I still managed a short slow run for 20 minutes. I'm hoping I wake up and it's back to normal. Funnily enough @RangerRickL I have done 2 classes this…
  • Exercise- yes. 30 min grit strength class then 10 minutes easy swim to cool down. Calories- yes. Family get together today so I had already decided to add 200kcal to my budget for today, but didn't need it in the end & still had a lovely meal. Tracking- yes. This was a mission as my parents don't have digital scales, they…
  • Yes x3. 20 minutes running
  • 3 x yes 10 minutes treadmill run then 22 minutes of a grit strength class.
  • 3x yes for today & a lot of time spent double checking I had logged everything before I ate it! 15 minute run + a 5 minute walk later Hope your leg is better soon @puttyputty
  • Thank you @craigo3154 I would like to say I learned my lesson immediately, but the very next d@craigo3154 forgot to add something which took me over by calories for the 2nd day running. 2 passes now BUT I can safely say I am now tracking before the food hits my mouth. I am logging my packed lunch calories before work to…
  • I am using a pass for yesterday as I thought I was within calories but today I remembered something I didn't track and it put me 45 over. Today: Yes x 3 45 minute spin class
  • Really?! That's made my day thank you @puttyputty :smiley: I've been kicking myself over that half packet of lentil snacks all day!
  • So sorry for your loss @dynomitegal When I experienced a bereavement that stopped me caring about myself I found it helped to walk somewhere quiet with nice scenery. It was for my soul rather than my body but it will help both! Wishing you peace and healing x
  • I'm sad to say I realised this morning that I forgot to log part of my lunch yesterday so I actually went over by 47 kcals yesterday & have failed the challenge. I am annoyed as I have tried so hard and if I'd remembered what I ate (no time to log at work) I would have cut back later and been within my limits :neutral: I…
  • Yes x 3 30 minutes bodycombat
  • Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes- 30 minute brisk walk at lunchtime Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes. But it has not been fun today. I didn't get much sleep last night so slept in too late to workout before I went to work. I am always hungry when I haven't slept well the night before so…
  • Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. 10 minute treadmill jog to warm up then 1hr 10 weights; legs and a few shoulder sets Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes. Didn't get chance to eat enough during the day but haven't overcompensated later Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

  • Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?- yes. 40 minutes Les mils on demand bodycombat. Not tried this before but will definitely do it again. It was fun. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?- yes Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?-yes
  • March 1 Exercised?: Yes. Body balance yoga flow 20 minutes. First time I've started the day with yoga and it felt good. Also an hour walking and sledging in the snow Calories?: Yes. Tracked?: Yes I wouldn't have started the day with yoga and likely would have gone a couple of hundred calories over my food today if I wasn't…
  • Hi this is my 1st time doing a MFP challenge. I used to be quite fit but stopped caring after a bereavement. After a good few years of doing no exercise and not eating well I started jogging again last spring and rejoined the gym last summer. I have been exercising for wellbeing until a few weeks ago when I realised I want…
  • As a single parent who works full time I find doing a few short (20 min) workouts during the week is all I can do. I am lucky to work from home sometimes so on these days I can run a couple of miles before I start work after I've dropped the kids off, and can grab a quick shower. I find early morning home workouts work…
  • I know this is an old thread but I too have noticed issues with my wii fit. Last week it told me I weigh 143lbs. Today it announced I have lost 2lbs yet showed my weight as 142lbs? It did the same thing a couple of weeks ago but I assumed I must have got mixed up about my previous weeks weight & never bothered checking it…
  • Sorry you aren't feeling good :( Your backache could be for all sorts of reasons but keep an eye out for other symptoms as some of us are prone to UTI's in pregnancy & these can track up to the kidneys & cause back ache; am not trying to worry you it's just something to keep an eye out for as nausea & vomiting (or an…
  • Thanks for the reply; it amazes me how much conflicting advice is given about exercise during pregnancy even by health care professionals! I was very active before I became pregnant, I was running between 5-10 miles a few times a week as well as going to the gym but everything ground to a halt because I got so sick. I feel…
  • Hi Lynn, I was 18 weeks and it was specifically a gender scan which cost £79. Luckily I hadn't started shopping! It was the sonographer at the free NHS anomaly scan 2 weeks later that said it was a girl & her colleague took a look too & confirmed it. I did go back to the private scan place & they rescanned me & agreed that…
  • Hi all, hope everyone is feeling well today. I found out last week that baby is not a boy as we were told back in December, she is definately a girl! Am still in shock as we had given baby a boys name already lol. Luckily there's no snow here in the UK right now as everything seems to stop when it snows which is great when…
  • Carina, sorry I only just read your post after I'd already posted. Am so sorry to hear of your loss, for you and all of your family. God bless xxx
