Morning team, Apologies to all I missed checking in yesterday, my excuse is that it was my birthday and I was having a great time with the boys and then going into London to meet up with Rob and some friends. I still managed to do 40 minutes on the bike and got quite a bit of walking in as well. Lori - congrats on the hot…

Marla - that is amazing news, and your family looks beautiful in the picture you posted. I will have to plead ignorance - I have no idea what peeps are ( they look like cuddlely bunnies, but assume not as your all talking about eating them LOL)? Lori - good luck with the concrete Beth and Andrew - I hope that you have a…

Shuntae - I love the hair I am having a crappy evening and just want to cry...... little John my 5 year old has come home from his friends (where he went for tea after school) with a broken nose - he fell off the trampoline!! Last week Thomas broke his finger at school and this week little John has broken his nose. I feel…

Hello from over the pond. Sorry haven't been around much, am feeling quite low and don't want to bring anyone else down, so am lurking but not always typing! Have managed 90 minutes walking today, and am going to try for an early night tonight. Having some girl-friends over tomorrow night for an early birthday celebration…

Morning all, Not been able to do the shred dvd since monday - I have managed to bruise the ball /palm of my hand and too much pressure on it kills!! But have been on the bike and walking as much as possible. No weight change again - seem to have hit a plateau :grumble: Hope everyone has a good weight in, x

Weird question time here....... does anyone have the zumba fitness dvds? and are they any good? Saw a teleshopping advert for them this am, and am wondering weather to get them for myself for my birthday??

Morning all, Marla - I think that you did the right thing, and hopefully some of the people that received the email will sit up and take some notice. Lori - I hate the planning stage as well, but at the mo that is all that happens unless I pay someone to do the jobs as dh is always working :frown: . The boy from your hot…

Hello all, We have had a dvd day today, well the boys have and I have been shredding and riding the bike. I have also signed up a new family to replace the minded child that has left and been into the loft to fine next stage carseats, oh and have had to clean the kitchen floor twice as the washing machine leaked, and when…

Thank you everyone so much for sharing your stories on here. I am feeling really low for some unknown reason today - it may be that its my birthday next week and the first without my dad :sad:, but I really can't put my finger on it. My weight seems to be hovering around 166, but about 2 months ago it hovered at 172, so I…

Morning all, so much happens after I go to bed :laugh: :laugh: , thank you all for sharing - sorry can't name you all......... Thomas has a badly bruised little finger that I have strapped to the finger next to it, to minimise his movement of it. We never made it to A&E as he can use it and only occassionally remembers…

Poping in quickly, Thank you for the challenge and table. Got to dash Thomas has hurt himself at school and waiting for dh to collect him and then dashing to A@E. Will check back later xx

Morning all ( well afternoon actually here :laugh: ), walked to school this morning, so 45minutes walking pushing a single buggy with a buggy board on the back and the 2 and 5 year old riding!! Have tried to be good so far today, but am starving and have a new little one coming for a visit tonight as well as parents…

Well I am about to say good night, but have managed to do 11 minutes on the rowing machine, at least a 30 minute walk to school and back pushing a tandem buggy, 15 minutes on the exercise bike and D3L2 shredded :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Rob (dh) has just cooked us mussels in a white wine and garlic sauce with noodles for tea,…

Morning all, I'm 36 in a couple of weeks but I will willingly hold arms if you want Marla :laugh: Welcome back jessica, hope that the helmet works for you. I have managed to do 11 minutes on the bike so far today ( while little mindee slept), and I brought some weight lifting gloves in the supermarket this am, and they…

Morning all, Have done my work out for the day L2D2 and 20 minutes on the bike (now need to work my food out for the rest of the day to eat my calories!! :laugh: ). Weather here is wet and grotty so am also trying to keep 4 fractious boys entertained - I love games consoles :wink: Have a good day everyone

Richie - great news. Morning everyone, Thomas (ds2) has had a form come out for his first sea scout camp. I've emailed the leader to say that he would love to attend, but not sure if he will have a place until I get the deposit to them next week - just need to get the eldest son (samuel) to join and I might be able to get…

Thanks for the challenge

Kati - that made me smile . It was meant to be, karma as sam said. Marla - you are an amazing lady, hats off to you for what you have and do do. A bit of a weird one, but thankyou for letting your daughter go to high school. There are times that I hated my family for making me lose my childhood but through working this…

Morning from the UK, Thank you all for sharing your stories. It makes the group seem more 'real' for me so thank you. I didn't exercise yesterday, but as I just about managed to eat my daily calories that was probably a good thing :huh: . I had a house full of extra children from 8am till 9.30pm yesterday, and I found it…

This team is truely inspirational, thank you for sharing. I was an army brat, so spent the beginnings of my life moving from base to base, we finally settled at a base when my sister was born and I was about 5years old. What I didn't realise until much later, was that this was because my mum had been diagnosed with…

Go Marla, Go Marla, Go Marla............ go for it. I am sitting here smiling for you :drinker: :happy: :drinker: Night all xx

My abs hurt......... but hopefully its a good thing, as I've just done L1D9 (oh my 1 more day then I go up a level :ohwell: ) followed by 31 minutes on the bike (should of been 30 but the time ran away from me :laugh: ). Need a shower and need to get the 2 year old into bed, which is going to happen first...........…

Kati - congrats on the ticker. Are you going to adjust your ticker or start a new one? Andrew - sorry that the hotel is so lousy. I remember ( in the dim distant past) when I used to stay at hotels when I worked in recruitment (of graduates) we used to make sure they had all the facilities - gym, pool, bar etc and all the…

Hello all, Have managed to do the shred dvd today and did the first set of push ups properly :happy: , and the rest of level 1 at the full intensity. I then follwed this by 21 minutes on the bike, would of been longer but the little one that I look after woke up :grumble: (I know its a sunday, but mum is ill and also has…

Ok, so for some unknown reason I managed to double post!! So have edited this one............. sorry folks xx

Well I have managed to do a 30 minute walk with the 2 youngest boys (1 in the buggy), 20 minutes shred workout (did this after the walk and managed to do all the star jumps and kicked my butt as well), and have done 2 sessions on the exercise bike adding up to 55 minutes. I am so chuffed, that the boys have behaved enough…

Hello all, I am putting my house into quarenteen!!!! My 10 year decided to start being sick in the night, so I spent alot of it cleaning up and making sure that all the boys had sick bowls to aim at - instead of the carpet :ohwell: . Not alot of sleep been had in the Perryman house hold for about 4 nights now, so when hubs…

Roni, I hope that your appointment went well, and that its not your exercise that have caused the flare up. Marla, I like house as well, but will sit throught the program analysing everything that is happening...... I am sad :laugh: Shuntae, go girl. I am amzed at all the wonderful people on here that keep talking baout…

morning, well I have John (5) and Chris (2) off ill today both with sickness etc. Been up every hour through the night with Chris and then at 6 John started, really want to do my dvd, but they are being clingons, so it will probably have to wait until they go to bed tonight... by which time I will want to sleep as…

None here yet but even when it does arrive we don't usually get that much Lori, congrats on the head stuff. I can't see me getting there for a while but that is me Well had a bit of…
