Hiya, no we are not originally from the states. Both UK born and bred, but Rob has spent alot of his working life in the states (NYC) and has some very good friends over there. We have both watched it over here since we were about 10. Marla, thank you for the result. Rob managed to watch the game, it was being shown on Sky…

Marla, Rob (my husband) has declared that if the Jets make it to the championship game then he will be in NYC just to watch the game!!!!! I hope that this means that he will arrange a babysitter for the boys so that I can come over as well but heres to dreaming!! Please could you message me the result of the game, just…

Marla - have a great time and enjoy the game. I have a very upset dh as he can't watch it ! Andrew - you are correct its not weakend! And I love the idea of the inspiration day. I have managed to get 3 of my 4 to a kiddies birthday party, and pushing the buggy in the snow or should I say on the ice is entertaining!! As all…

Morning, nice to read peoples stories and posts. Sorry to hear that you burnt yourself andrew, I tend to nod and grunt and then apologise when the waitress/waiter comes back when I have an empty mouth!! :tongue: Well i have done 40 minutes on the bike this morning, and had my first shower on my own for ages!! My 2 year old…

Hello, good to have a UK team going again. Christmas was a bit difficult putting on 5 lbs!! Now back down to 168lb and still the same target - 140 (I think will need to check!! lol)

Wow, way to go. Does anyone know if the couch to 5K is available in the UK? Well I have just done 46mins on the bike, 808 calories burnt, so that I can have a surf and turf with my husband tonight, and a few glasses of red wine! I cooked the boys homemade pizza tonight, and was half way through when I realised that I had…

Good morning, you are all an inspiration! Your pics are amazing - I don't have many pictures of me as I would always be behind the camera (i hated seeing pictures of myself and would delete them from the camera or before that throw them away). I am working this afternoon from around 12 till 4, so will go on my bike when my…

Leckel - Yes I am a childcare provider. I work from my own home looking after other peoples children from 0 to 11+ in age. The pizza isn't going to happen tonight. I got what i thought was a casserole out of the freezer for lunch but it hadn't cooked in time, so they are now having chicken and carrot soup for tea. My…

Well I managed 22 minutes on the rowing machine yesterday, but back is aching now :grumble: Only burnt just over 200 calories 9according to mfp) but felt like i'd really worked :noway: Schools are still closed here today, so having a relaxing time with the children and will go on my bike once my minded children have left…

Thank you for organising this spyguy. The water is no issue, sometimes I think that I actually drink too much of it! The sweets ar getting easier to avoid as well, but cookies :grumble: We have had (a little by the rest of UK standards!) snow over night and all of the schools are closed, so once my dear children are all…

Bit late at logging onto this bit today :embarassed: First day back at school for mine, so with the temperature in the -ve's, I wrapped the boys up warmly and we walked to school via our local supermarket. Was out walking (pushing my 2 yr old in the buggy) for over an hour, and it felt good. Not sure how much more walking…

Hi, I'm from the UK near Heathrow. I love this site, so easy to use and great help.

Morning all, weighed myself this morning and have dropped 2lb, so down to 169 (at least its below 170 :tongue: ). Saw the nurse this morning, and she has told me to eat all of my exercise calories, is this right - sorry can not get my head round this idea :blushing: Marla64 - my husband is well happy that the Jets won that…

Can I join you? I am UK based, and have missed the support given by a team. I am a Childminder, so my whole day revolves around children ( I also have 4 of my own). I have put on weight over the christmas period and am gutted that I couldn't look after myself!! Tanya (sorry need to look into how to do the tickers etc!!)

Have just read thhyis for the first time :ohwell: and am now off to adjust my activity level and to eat something :tongue: Thanks

Hello quick post CW - 167 GW - 165

well done to everyone. I weighed myself this morning and have reached 12st - 168lbs. I am so happy and I have for the first time I can remember brought a ladies belt in next a size medium / 12-14 :tongue: . The last belt I brought in February was a mens belt measuring 42inches!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Well I never made the 12st either, so that is my aim to reach 12st and not put any on! Can anyone recommend any exercises to work on the abs? I do 30 situps on the swiss ball and 30 pull up (laying on tummy on the ball and pulling shoulders up towards the ceiling!) every other day, but can't seem to shift the bulge!!

Well weighed myself this morning and the scales said 169lbs, so 12st 1 so maybe if i'm good I'll reach my goal by the end of the month :huh: When to weigh myself on the 30th sept or 1st oct?????

Hello everyone, I would like to get to 12st, 168lbs by the end of september - thats just over a lb per week. My treat will be to take my hubby out for a meal (lots of exercise needed!) Kp have a good holiday. I just can't wait for the children to restart school. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Chart

Well done on losing the stone - magnet, and keep it up katie. I haven't been around much, as lost my dad at the beginning of the month and have found it hard to concentrate and stick to the calories, but hopefully back to it now and have just done 20 minutes on the exercise machine and about to do my sit ups.....

Hello all, apologies that I haven't looked in but got some bad news and have been trying to deal with that - as well as stick to the diet! :frown: weighed in at 170, so have put a pound on, but not too bad I suppose. I have ordered a HRM but have to wait for it to be delivered. Am a little unsure if it will really help me,…

Was feeling really low first thing this morning, as feel down the stairs yesterday and then didn't eat very well, but weighed myself this morning and have got under 170lb - weighed in at 169.4lb :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Morning, I weighed myself this morning (normal weigh in day) and weighed in at 170.2lbs :happy: , so I am well happy. The plateau has broken and the weight has dropped :drinker: :drinker: I have started a new workout routine at home, I do 25minutes on my exercise bke, then the 10 minute ab routine from my dvd and then…

Congrats Sean on getting below 13stone. Have had a good week and have lost 4/5 pounds, so very happy to have left my plateau with a mega jump :happy: We are having friends over for a bbq today, and my husband has just worked out the calories in the dhansak he has made - 590 per portion...... think I'll be sticking to the…

Helen, Thanks for the reply. I said exactly the same to my husband this afternoon, but won't throw them out as at least I can measure what I have lost :drinker: The inches are definately dropping (in a size 12-14 for the first time in years) and my husband is gutted as my bust is getting smaller a well (thanks to having 4…

I need to change my weight from 12st 1 to 12st 8:grumble: I brought new scales and they have added 7lbs to my weight:cry: :cry: So 5lbs would be 12st 3

Thank you for the replies. I do weigh in at my doctors, but not for another 4 weeks. So I had better adjust my start and current weights :grumble: I'll then see what the doctors and my scales say and take it from there.

I weighed in at 12st1 (169lb), I'd be happy to lose 1lb a week (haven't been losing for a while:cry: !), so 11st 10 or 164lb. Brought some new lcd scales today - find it difficult to read my old scales. So will have to do the compare weight thing later to see how they compare to the old ones :ohwell:

I have increased my calorie intake, so am aiming at 1b lose a week instead of 1.5/2, but I still don't seem to be losing any. I have lost inches from my hips, under breast, arms and legs (none from my waist), but haven't lost any lbs for about 3 weeks. I thought by increasing my calories it might shock my system and I am…
