Forgot to check-in on Sunday. 30/9/12 SW 179 lbs 7/10/12 Still 179 lbs 14/10/12 177 lbs My target was 173 lbs, I suppose 2 lbs a week is possible, but probably not likely. I'll try to be stricter with myself and not skip any exercise classes (so much harder to convince myself to go out on these dark, cold nights), but I'm…

I met Garry when I was 15 and fell for him HARD. He flirted with me too but my Dad marked his card for him and told him I was too young. I went away to university at 17 and I'm not sure I ever saw him again, except at my wedding reception, I'm sure he peeped through the door. Was married for 18 years to my first real love,…

Are they having an actual laugh??? I googled it, saw the first picture of a person in a push up position with their feet on the ball and thought "oh ok, I can do that" - and then I realised I was meant to pull my knees to my chest too! That has "face-plant" written all over it! But, I did ask, so I will give it a try!
-
Thank you, very clear! Not sure I'll be able to do it though!!!

What's a side plank? I misunderstood what a plank was when I was told to balance on my elbows and toes, and lay on my back facing up, on my elbows and stretching my feet so my toes touched the ground - gave myself a ferocious friction burn on my elbow!

Me too!

I was thinking pretty much the same thing yesterday, I've lost 15 lbs but all my clothes are still tight. I do have one fewer chin, but it didn't weigh 15 lbs! Have I lost 15 lbs from my internal organs??? It is odd. It's a little disheartening that after all this time, no-one can see any difference.

I kind of know what you mean about being fed up of logging all the time. Recently I've been fed up of just thinking about food ALL the time, constantly wondering what I can eat and how I can burn off the calories to eat what I want. I wonder if it might be easier for you to plan your food in advance? Maybe you could…

It is actually really nice to know that other people have this problem, I thought it was just me! I go out on nights out thinking I'm a curvy hottie, and then I see the photos on facebook and realise I just looked big. On a slightly different subject, a "friend" recently got me to move in a group photo, so that I was…

Do you still have the jeans you were wearing in the first photo? Put them on and see how loose they are on you!

Firstly, I do know what you mean. I've lost several stone, several times, and always put it back on. So I did have a moment where I thought "why am I doing this, I'll only be back here in 3 years". But then I realised the reason I put the weight back on was I got complacent. So this time, I'm planning just not to stop,…

Ugh. SW 179 lbs CW 179 lbs. See you next week. Sigh.
-
I geocache too! That's a really good idea!

Hi, I'm in the north of Scotland. I know what you mean about the 1lb a week thing. If there was a pair of shoes I wanted and someone told me I'd have to wait 2 years to get them, I'd lose interest pretty fast! And I didn't lose at all this week, so I guess that's another week until I reach my goal. So I'm doing the little…

I just had the copacabana, it wasn't even nice chocolate. Definitely bin!

I started spinning a few weeks ago and I HATE it!!! But I keep going because I'm sure it's going to help me. I found it difficult to judge how much effort to give the first week and thought I was going to be physically sick, so now I always give a little less than I think I can give, and by the end I'm always exhausted and…

I had smoked paprika, garlic & thyme rustic marble bread (don't know where I got rosemary from), apple and cinnamon flapjacks which were really nice, the british barbeque (rosemary crostini, mini basil breadsticks, fiery seeds and smoked almonds) which had an unusual savoury flavour, I liked it but not as much as the…

This sounds like a really fun idea, and I'd like to join in, but I don't want to weigh myself until tomorrow and that's a little too late, so I'll join in on the 19th, if that's ok?

I went through a week recently where I was really depressed and just hated the whole thing. I persevered though and my motivation just eventually came back on its own. I'm sure it'll happen again. I have no gems of wisdom for you, just that you're not alone!

Right, I got my first graze box today and so far I have three problems: 1. It is too yummy and I want to eat the whole box in one sitting. Maybe I should have eaten dinner before opening it! 2. I can't afford 3 a day, which is what I now want. 3. My daughter also loves it, so I need double size portions!!! I really hoped I…

If you asked me my "type", I'd say roughly my age, dark hair, green eyes, not too thin, no facial hair. I'm currently unrequitedly in love with a man 20 years older than me, grey hair, beard. He's kind, he makes me laugh, he has a similar "energy" to me, and we have a shared hobby. I know how you feel though, I tend to…

It is disheartening, isn't it, but as you can see, it happens to us all. Some weeks are the exact opposite, you think you've blown it big time and then you have a loss. Don't dwell on it, start a new week afresh, and as Wanda says, at least you didn't gain!
-
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does this! I washed the dishes, that must count as light cleaning, right? OP, don't worry about it, you need to have fun sometimes! Spending time with your family and friends should be a happy thing, not a cause for guilt, you can always rectify the calories later, but you can't get…

Are you using a phone app? On my iphone, when I click Add to Diary, then select my meal, it is near the top on the right, next to "search for a food" - it is an icon with lots of vertical lines scored through with one horizontal line. Hope that helps, I use it all the time, and it's only once ever been completely wrong!…

I've just signed up for a free box and came on here to see if anyone else uses Graze! I spent a fortune last night on dried fruit for my daughter to snack on, so thought it might be worth trying out. Did you stick with it, aforange, it's a couple of weeks now since your first box?
-
Oooooo, interesting, maybe I'll hate the skinny jeans too! At least I didn't pay any extra cash for them, they were in my wardrobe anyway!

Last week I went way over my calorie goal several times. My dance class was cancelled, I couldn't get booked into my spin class, and I skipped my aikido class because I had a guest coming and I wanted to tidy. And every time, not only did I not exercise, I over-ate. I always feel less hungry after exercising, but when I'm…
-
Which app are you trying? I would like to accurately work out how many calories I burn exercising but MFP only has a generic "martial arts" activity and I'm sure it over-estimates, so I never eat back my calories in case I end up over-eating!
-
I'm a bit late joining in but I've had a bad week and I need a little extra motivation. Not sure I have anywhere to go, but I'm thinking of a sexy-snow-white costume! 10lbs is too much for me to lose in a month, so I'll go for 6. Current weight: 179lbs Goal for Hallowe'en: 173 lbs.
