Hello all, sorry for being away so much, shifts and gym takes up most of my time then my housework too it's all go go go :happy: I don't know whether I am losing or not at the moment, my weigh in is tomorrow but due to the exercise i have a feeling I am stuck on a plateau because muscle is heavier than fat, my clothes are…

Katie I would love the link to that, I am on fb too :smile: I have to wait till tonight for my gym session, got 8 hours of work to do first :grumble: Hope you are all sticking and not stuck at a plateau :flowerforyou: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Calorie Counter

didn't make it to the beach, my stomach was growling after burning 870 cal when I only consumed 210, came home and wolfed down pasta with bolognese sauce. I will try the ww mini bites, I am getting fed up with the special k ones. Glad I don't have to work today and tomorrow, very rare for me to have a weekend off so making…

good morning all!!! I think I know my problem re: cheating. Last night I started period, I always fancied chocolate before but back before I started the diet I would munch my way through giant bags of chocolate, maltesers being the favorite or kinder bueno. :frown: Now in preparation for next month, does anybody have…

Hello all, I must tell you all that I am really impressed with the gym, it has me going back for more and no we are not talking about men in lycra lol :bigsmile: no this time it's purely physical, I have such a healthy glow, they should bottle it :laugh: for the first time I have used this big ball to do squats, a nice…

awww there is hope for you hgam1, I am only 1 year behind you :devil: Lets get some challenges set, how do we go about it? Do we go by mini goals? kilo's/lbs lost? Would be fun to set a few challenges for us Brits :happy: I joined gym and really enjoyed myself, spent an hour working out and going back again tomorrow for…

just for a test, give up coffee see how your body reacts. I gave up coffee last year and definitely had some sort of 'come down' effect. Celestial Seasonings is my favorite brand of tea, shame we can't get it here but I have finally found a site that delivers :smile: and it doesn't contain caffeine. Good luck…

Was definitely a sin but worth :tongue: 188 cal of sheer pleasure.... roll on pmt for June :laugh: Thank you for birthday wishes :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Have a great day :smile: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Easy Calorie Counting

Hiya Lorro, I will be celebrating it this weekend, I am going to have a pint of guinness! (just the one) :drinker: :bigsmile: Keep drinking hun :wink: perhaps you should get one of these: http://www.aussiegadgets.com.au/images/DRINKING%20HAT%20ORANGE.jpg :laugh: Good luck everybody :flowerforyou:

Hello all, how are you? I have a confession to make :ohwell: I indulged in a small bag of Mars Planets, no excuses (except for *aunt flo due to arrive any day soon) :explode: but, on a good note, I finished my food log for today and ended on 1.053 cal. I know I should be having more but am really full. I start gym…

sorry for the late reply georgia, I have just found 'my topics' lol... some things are harder to sink in :laugh: sometimes I have to work till 6am so I find a bowl of porridge with a banana at 4am very comforting so I don't go to bed with an empty stomach. I did it once and my stomach started growling at 11am and woke me…

Oh by the way, this is the bread I rave about http://www.burgenbread.com/ it's low gi and you can get it at your local supermarket (not at greggs) :laugh:

LOL @ swine flu :laugh: nice one cinnamon, hope you feel better soon hun and the sooner you revise for the %%$%^^&%^ test go for a long walk and forget about it, you will feel better :flowerforyou: Yes Good luck Katherine, you must have buns of steel with all that biking :laugh: Right today I had a day of pottering around…

First of all, welcome shoppie :flowerforyou: join in and let's be the biggest losers on this board :bigsmile: Cinnamon and Lorro, I will go but not today, I woke up on the wrong side and had to take my son to school (he overslept) then I had to spend a small fortune on fruit because he is making fruit salad in d.t tut!…

well done cinnamon, got a bit of advice, if you go training have a banana milkshake before. I have porridge with banana an hour before my training, trust me, it works :happy: But as they say, whatever works best for you :laugh: (bottom disclaimer thingy) :wink: tata's is what we used to say to our pet for 'walkies'…

Oh my poor body.... I am sitting down and my body is moaning :grumble: but me I feel like I am glowing. :happy: I have walked (uphill) moderate for an hour. Drank 6 pints of water so far. Hope you are all well :flowerforyou:

my legs still ache from the other day on wii fit, just shows how unfit I am lol my neighbour is taking me tata's at 1:30pm so will be back later to tell you all about it :tongue: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Online Calorie Counter

cinnamon, not long now and you will be jogging to work and you can have an extra 15 min. in bed :laugh: wii fit is brilliant, I recommend it but if it's too pricey go for a few good work out dvd's... just as good I reckon but not as much fun :wink: I have had 6 of 8 water too :drinker: got a question for anybody who can…

I tried them for breakfast and lunch too but they didn't do it for me either. I now have porridge with a banana for breakfast, I usually cant eat anything then till 1pm/2pm. lunch I have two slices of burgen bread filled with anything I fancy. Both usually add to about 225 cal per meal.

Count me in, I have done 2 hours of cleaning today :yawn: wish I could go to bed now lol I need to lose 50 lbs / 4 st :frown: Did half hour of exersise on wii fit yesterday and feeling the pulling in muscles today will have another go tomorrow. Oh by the way, I just started.... thank you for creating this group, I need all…

Thank you for your kind message vicki, there are a few of us that take it here now :smile: I was unable to log on to the alli website to log all my foods due to different entering codes and they haven't set up U.K one yet. By the time they sort it I will be off alli and will be doing the rest by myself with the help of…

Hello Pamela, I couldn't give up bread... I treat myself once a week to a white roll or two but the rest of the week I have Burgen bread linseed and soya or the cranberry one, I don't get any bloated with that bread at all. It is delicious toasted and it's recommended on diets. :smile:

HI amdavies, thank you for your tip but did you know that the magnesium and copper content of bananas can help you get a better night's sleep? I do love a banana, have been known to eat two a day :happy:

Hello, I was wondering if we could start a little thread with tips we could give each other. I would like to start off with a big problem I had but it has disappeared. I used to suffer from extreme bloating, so I bought root ginger, chopped off thick slice bashed it with my tenderiser, added hot water and a teaspoon of…

I didn't do the walk but dusted off the wii, boy am I feeling it today lol I will be going to the beach today and go for a brisk walk, will time myself to see how long it takes me to do the whole stretch there and back. Your meal sounds absolutely devine... I love chili but unfortunately it doesn't like me. (I bloat like a…

according to this website I could weigh 165 lbs in 5 weeks time (that's without taking alli) I must say I am pretty impressed. :happy: Tomorrow I have a long walk planned so I am off to bed now, hope you all have a great bank holiday :flowerforyou:

thank you arewethereyet :flowerforyou:

tonight was the first time I stepped on the wii fit... it is now officially dust free :laugh: really loving the hoola hoop, I managed to open a few more excersises. I was curious about the yoga too, back in the days when I was fit and healthy I used to take yoga class and found it beneficial for my body and mind. Now for…

wow Dave thank you :blushing:
