Well done Katherine :happy: I am not going to the gym today, I have way too much to do like housework, washing/ironing popping into town and going shopping. I start work earlier too and I won't be able to do what I want anyway. I will clean eat today and log my housework as exercise :bigsmile: This weekend I still have to…

LOL I often wonder...... :laugh:

Lima beans are a great source of potassium :smile:

Thanks Katherine :happy: I sweat like a pig on the machines, my top is usually soaking :embarassed: but I love them, I watch tv whilst on the cross trainer/bike (need the distraction from the pain LOL) :bigsmile: No pain no gain they say. Got buns of steel already (under a layer of fat) :laugh: Ditch the scales they are…

Hello all, I have reached yet another plateau, I think I might need more calories, going to ask trainer next week when he gets back from holidays. I did 45 min. on cross trainer, 45 min. bicycle (16 miles) and 30 min. circuit and core exercise this morning and had a delicious lunch, going to have 40 winks in a minute…

I have milled organic flaxseed, I add a desert spoon to my breakfast. Make sure you drink plenty of water otherwise you might get a 'clogging' effect (my sister had this) :drinker:

I exercise every day so I need my protein too so to get my daily protein up I have a tin of tuna or a chicken breast but I also have smoothies made with soy yoghurt and soy milk, poached eggs boost protein too. I used to take whey protein powder but my dietician said I am getting enough protein from natural foods :happy:…

Good morning all :happy: I managed an hour gym session last night but today I will do 15 min. cross trainer as warm - up 45 min. bike 30 min. core exercise (kettlebell, lunges, push ups etc.) 30 min. circuit training Had a fantastic food day yesterday too, hope I can keep this up for the rest of the month :bigsmile:…

Definitely one of those weekends :laugh: well done curvykatie for your gym session, I believe upping your exercise will encourage weightloss. I haven't been today yet, going later :happy: So far so good with food today, been watching what I put in my mouth:bigsmile: Back later :drinker: Helen…

I have had a naughty day too, been on day shift, haven't been able to go to the gym, got the dreaded period and have the munchies big time!!! I pigged out and I thoroughly enjoyed it :laugh: I will do two hours at the gym and have a swim tomorrow, eat clean for a day and then weigh in on Tuesday hopefully with a loss. We…

Hello Magnet, we are all here at the moment: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/57701-team-uk-week-8-and-9?page=6#posts-724778 See you there! Helen

Lindt dark chocolate is my favorite, it is 85% cocoa yummmmm :happy: I fancy a bit now LOL

I hate that horrid aunt flo, when she comes around I make sure I have lindt dark chocolate in the freezer. I break up the squares and keep them in the cool box in freezer and I allow myself max. 4 pieces but only one at a time, they take ages to melt once they have been in freezer but usually I just have the one which is…

Sorry for not stopping by, I really hate nightshifts, my body clock is all over the place :grumble: I don't sleep properly and I really hate training in the evenings. Decided to go today at 4pm see how that works. oh and no use weighing in this week or next week cos dreaded aunt flo will be visiting any time soon:ohwell:…

Hey kpnuts, my training is pretty intense and yes I really love it. :happy: I missed it terribly today because of dentist and work. I will have to be on my best behaviour with food today because it's weigh in day tomorrow. I am supposed to have a rest day once a week so it might as well be today... :ohwell: Good luck…

Had this weekend off, was absolutely wonderful and spent two hours in the gym both days, I feel a great sense of achievement :happy: Coming week: Unfortunately I am on nightshift this week so food is going to be a challenge, I can never seem to eat 3 meals. Will have my usual porridge and will make some soup, might do a…

I don't know if this belongs here but I need to tell you this, I am off to bed in a minute but need to get it off my chest. (sorry) Woman said to me in town today after I told her I lost 33 lbs, 'I couldn't diet, I love my food too much' but I just politely laughed it off but what I wanted to say to her, you cheeky cow,…

I did an hour work out before breakfast and feel absolutely brilliant, I have decided to have a little rest now that my belly is full too and then later on go back for another 90 min. work out, I seem to have loads of energy. Maybe it's because I am over the plateau and I started losing again, I did pop on the scales…

tidying the house is exercise ChrisyJade 120 min. Cleaning, heavy, vigorous effort burns 504 cals :happy: just log it :wink: :bigsmile: I have decided to go training first thing in the morning just after a banana and a glass of water then come home and have my porridge with flaxseed and an apple. I felt a little ill today…

I weighed in today and lost another kg. I am now officially at my half way mark :happy: Burnt 1470 cals today but since I have been home I have done nothing but yawn, can't snap out of it :yawn: Hope you are all doing well, keep up the good work :drinker: Helen http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/HelenS70

Hi ChrisyJade, just shows the inches fly off just as fast as those pounds :bigsmile: Time to go shopping for some lycra :wink: I have lycra pants and a huge hoodie, I don't know what it looks like lol I am past caring when I go for the jog, got my ipod on some podcast I downloaded to get me running 5k in a few months.…

Thanks ChristyJade, I am also thinking about getting the biggest loser dvd, I love their core exercise and what with my 90 min. work out in the gym every day I should get to my target this year :happy: I forgot to weigh in at the gym today so will do it tomorrow. Swapped the cow for the goat and soy, added more apples and…

Thanks BrendaLee, I think that was the confusing thing on my part, I am new to the whole calorie counting thing, only been doing it since 2nd May but am learning something new every day :happy:

Thanks Rick :happy: I think of it as naughty because I had a aero chocolate mouse for desert and I had a mars bar today and went over my total cals:frown: I know I shouldn't beat myself up about it because I do ask a lot from my body with the work out I do. Am drinking water now :drinker: Fingers crossed for tomorrow, I…

Sean, I don't want to scare you but read this: http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-research/summaries/diet-soda-linked-to-higher-health-risks.jsp I quit the soda scene two years ago then last year I gave up regular sugar because of the empty calories. I prefer water, green/white/herbal/fruit teas there are so many out there…

Hi Mumsanutter, I would get 5step but as I mentioned earlier post I have no rhythm whatsoever :cry: I can't follow the feet at all so I tend to stick to cardio and core exercises. I might get the biggest losers dvd. And perhaps one day invest in a kettlebell :happy: Welcome back Katie :flowerforyou: I was up at 6:30 this…

Your welcome ChrisyJade :happy: :drinker: If your boyfriend doesn't want to go dancing tonight, what is stopping you from putting on a few dance tracks and doing some dancing in your bedroom or livingroom? :bigsmile: I would do it but I really have two left feet and no rhythm whatsoever. I can't even do the step aerobic…

Hi Mrsyac2, Strawberry and blakgarnet, thank you all for your reply :smile: I have porridge for breakfast and a tbsp. of flaxseed, an apple and cinnamon all mixed together, it tastes really good and it keeps me full for ages. I also drink about a pint of water in the morning. I usually do my 90 min. work out in the morning…
