Serious.

Thank you, you can be my new best friend. :-)

I had butternut squash last night, I just cut it into chunks and roasted it for about an hour and had it with goats cheese on a bed of salad. In the salad I also had asparagus which I steamed first and then let it cool slightly before adding to the salad. Look on line, there's some fabulous ideas for vegetables. x

28??

Great job honey. xx

Done, thanks for the challenge. xx

Count me in, will do them tomorrow. Good luck everyone. x

Hi James, I too was waiting for the fitbit flex, couldn't wait any longer so got an UP. It certainly has made me more aware of putting in more steps. At the moment the UP teams are doing a step challenge, girls versus boys, sadly I think the boys will win. I will look out for you on the UP. :-)

Hi, shouting out from Essex, welcome. I've been using MFP for nearly a year. x

Hi MinnieM83, For me, becoming a vegetarian was easy, I saw a programme on tv about animals, I won't go into details but I just thought to myself that I didn't want to be part of the whole killing animals to eat etc... I liked the taste of meat so thought I would go back to it but I haven't and am not tempted. I think it…

Here's what I do at the moment but thinking of trying something different. Monday. Training for 10k, ( on week 3 ). 15 minutes free weights at home. Tuesday. Aerobic class - 45 minutes. Wednesday . Aerobic class- 45 minutes, 15 minutes free weights at home. Thursday.. Training for 10k Friday.. 30 minutes of weights, sit…

Our bodies get uses to the same exercises day in day out so your idea is great. Will look forward to seeing how you get on. X

True. I've never had a perm.

My first wedding has the be the worse wedding even, I was far too young. My father was very drunk even before the wedding, I got married at 11.30 in the morning. He was so drunk he made the restaurant staff cry, made me cry and was an *kitten* all day. Both myself and my husband didn't know half the people there, parents…

Have liked on Facebook. :-)

But my calories were still under 1400 on the days I had protein bars. I thought it must be the bars as I have since lost the extra weight during the last week without having the bars. x

I am a vegetarian and also struggle with my protein intake. A couple of weeks ago I started having protein bars and put on 3 lbs in a week and having the protein bars were the only thing I changed so no more protein bars. I try and eat cottage cheese most days and have almonds as a snack. x

Using my maiden name I was the only one that came up on google, using my married name I am an American cajun fiddler, singer, and actress from Covington, Louisiana. xx

You look amazing. Very well done. xx

I too have Plantar Fascitis so know how painful it can be to walk, some mornings it can take me 10 minutes to be able to put my heal on the floor but I have walked nearly 25 miles over the last 2 days. I am determined that my foot pain will not stop me. I wear a padded wedge in my shoe and just get moving. The strange…

I am totally with you on this, a few years ago I joined a running club and found that I like the idea of running much more that I liked running. I gave up, my asthma wouldn't let me run far, my knees hurt etc... But for some crazy reason I still want to run, I would love to be able to just put on my sports bra and trainers…

We've only been married for 2 months, give it 2 years and I will want to spend a couple of hours away from him each day. :laugh:

Not getting ready for an event, the event has been and gone ( got married 2 months ago ) I was happy with my weight at my wedding but I still have the figure of 9 stone in my head with less fat around my middle so am determined to get there. I am 9 stone 4 but the number on the scales isn't that important, just need to…

Why would I lie about the amount of time I am exercising, surely I would be kidding myself if that was the case. Yes I probably could push myself abit harder during my workouts, which I intend to do.

An effective instructor should be changing the routine every few weeks so that people's muscles don't get too used to the moves. What kind of job do you work? If it's food service, you could always try to add in wall pushups, pulse squats, and/or standing calf raises while you wait for your food to come up on the line or…

Feel free to add me, I'm a pescetarian and my dairy is open for all to see. xx

If your profile photo is you, I hope you don't mind me keeping this image in my head for a while. :wink:

I've been going to the same aerobic class for 10 years so I can safely say that I do enjoy that and I do look forward to that. :laugh: I do try and vary my other exercise though as our bodies need a change but wouldn't want to give up my aerobic classes.

I am sure my diary is open for all to see. X

Thanks for the link, I've been using my son's weights but very limited to what I do. Will definitely do the workout but I've just made a huge mistake. I have just showed my son the website so I will have to wait my turn using his weights now. :smile:
