I am so far off the wagon I'm back with the walkers :blushing: I've not even felt like logging my food, I'm just not motivated at. all.

I suck at this :blushing: I really am sorry I committed to this and am not following through. Should we try again? Skip it?

1.5 strength workouts, which I need to do more often. Plus I ran again last night :happy:

And I can feel yesterday's strength work - youch!!

I'm aiming for enthusiast again, lame, I know, but I need to get into my groove again. At least I did some strength work this morning! :smile:

Ok I checked the results I have, and posted a new challenge for the week. Sincere apologies for being so late all the time (and not at all last week), I promise I'll improve ;)

Sorry I was crap at updating last week :blushing: Had a bit of a hectic week and I'll own up that each time I remembered to update the challenge I wasn't able to (not at a computer). From what I gathered, none of us fared exceptionally well at last week's challenge, but this is a new week. I'm aiming for enthusiast again.

This has already helped me as well: We just went walking with the kids but my son kept on telling me to slow down :tongue:

It's really hard work but possible. I've was lying in bed last night thinking I need to start my exercise in the evenings again; I feel better in general and about myself, have more energy and am healthier. It's just such a difficult thing to get dressed for exercise at 9PM at night, when all you want to do is fall asleep.

In for the water challenge (I'm much better but not quite there yet) and then I'm aiming for Fitness enthusiast.

I've got the new challenge for the week up - Debbie please pin? And please post how you fared in there - I don't have access to everyone's stats :wink:

I've come to realise that i have coffee days and I have tea days. Coffee days are the unhealthy ones, where I'd have numerous cups of coffee and end up having chocolate and calorie laden carbs. Tea days I drink more water, prefer fruit, and generally eat healthier. My trick for now is if I can have that single cup of…

I'm having so much trouble keeping my self-discipline on track :blushing: At least we are walking each evening after dinner, kids included, and I already feel better in the mornings. I need to up my cardio a bit though!

I can start on Sunday, seeing that this week is more than halfway gone already - would that be ok?

I guess we could start by copying the older challenges right? I can do that relatively easily right now, once a week won't be too much for me.

Well I guess my first health goal for the year is to lose the next 8kg. I have broken up my weight loss goals into 3 chunks of 8Kg each, the first I've lost and have been able to maintain since August last year (with small fluctuations), now for the next 8kg. I'm hoping to lose it before March, and then see where it takes…

Thanks for letting me stay on :love: I can assure you I definitely don't look like 30 in real life though :laugh:

I'm here!! Although technically I'm 40 now so I'm not sure if you guys mind if I still hang around?

It works but I find it too hard to stick to their plans. You are never hungry but making sure you get all the foods they prescribed is a schlepp and I really don't like that they use so much artifical sweetener in their plans. Not really helping you am I :wink:

I'm right there with you. I've not dropped much since August, but I'm thankful that I maintained what I lost. Life got in the way for me, being sick and then dog-drama and then treadmill issues and and and. I could probably think up a gazillion excuses but none of them are valid :blushing: Today was the first day in…

How does that happen that the moment a boyfriend comes into the picture we just start gaining weight?!?!? I've picked up so much since I met my husband it's not even funny :ohwell:

Memememememe!!!! I've been terrible the last few weeks. Terrible. Luckily for me I' haven't really gained a lot of weight but I've lost a lot of fitness and donated blood as well so some of the 'weight' loss is artificial :ohwell: Today I planned my meals - healthy stuff, salad and strawberries and so far so good. I do…

I am so so glad this morning - I've been watching what I eat (sort of) since the beginning of the week and it's paid off - I'm legitimately below 90kg :bigsmile: And by legitimately I mean not due to food poisoning. SO at the end of October I made my September goal :tongue:

That just made me really thankful we don't really celebrate Halloween :tongue:

Unless I get another bout of food poisonong I'm not going to make my October goal :grumble:

It's been hard for me too Debbie! I'm kind of maintaining but I really need to amp up my training if I want to get anywhere :ohwell:

Man I'm doing badly here.... I start out each day by tracking calories and then the meals get too complicated and I don't track :blushing: What I must admit though is that since I've been using MFP I have a much much better idea of which foods are lighter in calories and what portion sizes are acceptable, and I suspect…

Well I did very little over the weekend in terms of activity and food logging. SOmehow the food we ate was just really difficult to log (or maybe I wasn't determined enough). Today is better, so far. I really have to do some physical exercise today and my eating is better controlled and logged. Camsmommy I'm also down from…

I'm feeling a bit more motivated today. I weighed myself this AM and I actually lost 0.5kg again, which is great. I can make this happen! Debbie I must just watch out for my daughter's birthday next weekend - I'm going to be tempted as well!!
