Sugar free jelly? Fat free Greek yogurt? Or a quick workout to earn another 100?

I've started setting weekly and monthly goals to keep me on track. E.g. run 50miles in January, eat 8 a day fruit & veg for 5 days out of 30, homemade lunches 4times a week instead of relying on the artery-clogging staff canteen menu... I've generally found it easier to set goals that I have full control over (food &…

Cardio junkie here...I tend to do 2-3 hours running per week (4-5during half marathon training) and maybe another 30mins in gym cardio or HIIT workouts.
-
4400 a DAY??? That sounds a little excessive...! My biggest burn comes from running, which might not be an option for you yet. After that it's cleaning and walking.

Some creeps on there....but I met my husband online so it's not all bad!

Eat yellow snow

couldn't resist another one....slightly wishful thinking still for some of it... (To Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer) Sarah the running junkie Had a very shiny nose And like a real lady She didn’t sweat she would just “glow” All of the lorry drivers Used to laugh and call her names They didn’t get the appeal Of running in…

This week went better than I thought...was terrible with food but really stepped up the exercise so shed another small bit of weight: SW - 1st Dec - 82.9kg Wt 8th Dec - 82.5kg Wt 15th Dec - 82.0kg Goal 1st March - 72kg Quite slow at the moment but festive season is making stying on track a bit of a nightmare!

Been rubbish at checking in but still keeping reasonably on track SW - 1st Dec - 82.9kg Weight 8th Dec - 82.5kg Goal 1st March - 72kg

Here's my attempt... Kettle bells kettle bells Swinging all the way Oh what fun it is to sweat On a cold wet winters’ day HEY! Kettle bells kettle bells Swinging all the way Oh what fun it is to sweat All the snacks and treats away

I don't allow myself any till December after my stepson nicknamed me "Pie-monster" 3 Christmases ago...!! Although, they are fruity, so can they be classed as one of your 5 a day...??
-
I've been on MFP for over a year and am a serial yoyo-er. My goals for the next 3 months are... 1) not to get completely derailed by Xmas...it lasts a day, not a month! 2) try some new exercise classes. 3) get back to half-marathon fitness 4) stay away from the constant office cake supply! At least once or twice...! 5) eat…

Aiming to get to the gym before work 3 times this week, plus a couple of lunchtime walks.
-
SW (12/1): 82.9kg GW (3/1): 72kg Main goal is to keep on track with the impending festive season and not let one meal out derail an entire week!

I quite like winter running...once I get warmed up! I tend to wear running tights and a long sleeved lined top. (Start fitness do a good one if you're in the UK) thumb holes are good as you can keep your hands warm without overheating in gloves. I tend to wear a huge stretchy headband/bandana rather than a hat since I have…

Just started having a look around the website...is it really just $10 a year? What do you get for that? Oh and can Brits join?!
-
Last week weight: 82.9kg This week weight: 83kg Lost in challenge: nothing! Till goal: can't remember...! Will try a lot harder this week!
-
No idea about availability outside the UK, but my favourite brands are Ronhill and Odlo. They stay put so I don't have to keep hoiking them up mid run, unlike a lot of sports brand attempts of running tights...!
-
I'm naturally cautious so my suggestion would be to wait till autumn if you can. Having said that, you are one of the most determined friends I have on here so I reckon that you easily have what it takes to crack on with training for a spring one! Have you joined the long distance runners group on here? Really…

I'm both a stepdaughter and a stepmum, but I don't think my experiences will help as I met my stepkids when they were 5&6 and my dad remarried when I was 26! Maybe talk to your daughter about how she can help when the baby arrives? Say that it will be a big help for her to e.g. pass nappies, get you a drink whilst you're…

Current weight: 82.9kg (=182.8lb) Goal weight (challenge): 79.5kg (=175.3lb) Amount lost in challenge so far: 0 Number of mountain climbers I will be attempting this week (spread out): 200 Number of days I will try to resist all forms of chocolate: 2 (some low cal hot choc or a freddo may be required on other days...!)…

I started running 7 years ago and 4 5ks, 3 10ks, 9 HM and one full 26.2 later, I think I can say I'm hooked...! Few handy tips... - start slow, walk if you have to. Maybe do 1min run/2min walk to start with and build up distances sloooowwly! - go to a proper running shop for shoes...the wrong ones can wreak havoc! - listen…

Are you weighing yourself at the same time of day each time? With the same amount of clothing? (Or lack thereof!) Also, is the scale on a flat hard surface? My bathroom floor is uneven and I can get up to a 3kg difference depending on where I put the scales (cue anguished howls or squeals of joy...!!) So I try to make sure…

Jasmine green tea is really nice...or try white tea, which is less bitter.
-
Clean your teeth! Everything tastes weird after minty toothpaste so the temptation won't be there. I also second the drinking lots of water.
-
I tend to eat back most of my exercise calories, mainly so I'm not insanely hungry the next day! I'll sometimes save some for a weekend, but make sure I net over 1200.
-
Have you spoken to your partner about your feelings? Maybe some couples counselling or just sitting together and discussing where you think you're going might help. I don't know what your issues are but fixing the problem might not necessarily mean splitting up altogether. And you are definitely not the only person who…

As a vegetarian student, chickpeas became my best friend! Cheap and you can get a meal out of a can! Try making falafel (spicy chickpea burgers/balls) - there are loads of recipes out there and most of them are gluten free. Most tinned beans or pulses can easily bulk up a veggie stir fry to make it more filling as well.…
