March thread is now up and running (I'm a keen bean!) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/183454-team-uk-march-2011 xxx

Oh thats weird.......it's http://lrns88.blogspot.com so hopefully that might work! Well done on being 2lbs off target - that's amazing!!! I'm sure you'll have a good crack at conquering it in March :) I'm going to set up a March 2011 thread now, will post the link in a sec :) xxx

haha had never thought of that!!

For running, nothing beats a bit of Bat out of Hell by Meatloaf to get me moving!!!

Morning everyone :) hope you're all having a good weekend. Just weighed in for end of february and lost 3.5lbs this month - I so wanted that extra 0.5lbs to make it 1lb a week!! Hopefully next month will be 4.5lbs loss to make up for it! Now I've just got to take some horrible pictures and post them on my blog........joy!!…

I quite like my weight watcher ones, but only got them from Argos as they were reduced!!

Woop well done Jain!

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good weekend! I've now done routine A and routine B of my new workout at the gym and can honestly say I have no upper body strength! Chin ups and reverse arm row things are the hardest things ever! I'm surprised I can even type today!! I had a cheat day on Friday but only went over my 300…

I never eat all my exercise calories, but I definitely eat some of them as I have bigger portions and some more carbs to give me the energy to exercise! Also it affects your BMR so you're body might need you to eat those calories to avoid the starvation mode problem..........

Morning all :) After my not-so-great couple of weeks recently, I was dreading going out for dinner with friends tonight as I'm out friday night as well! Thankfully, I think we're going to Prezzo and they do flatbread pizzas for 650 calories or less! Rather excited about giving those a go! Hope you're all having a good week…

So glad someone else has this problem :) the dreaded things were banished to the back of my wardrobe yesterday. I've gotta fight through my shoes and bags before getting to them, and then take them into the bathroom before standing on them (obs carpet/flooring affects the scales!) so hopefully I'll have come to my senses…

Glad you're feeling better now :) xxx

Morning everyone :) hope you all had a good weekend........mine was filled with tequila and a hell of a lot of wallowing yesterday! So worth it! Well done on the cycle ride! I went to the gym with my super fit friend a couple of weeks ago and she couldn't manage my workout that I do - made me feel fantastic!! Hope you're…

Morning everyone :) well done northern numpties and everyone on their loss. I've decided I'm going to step down from the competition and be a cheerleader as the scales are starting to rule my life! So they are being removed and hidden from view until I WI before seeing my personal trainer (every 2 weeks). Hopefully that…

Sending you lots of love and support lesley1981 xxxx

Grrr it does irritate me when people claim they know best to lose weight. Attempting to explain to a colleague about calories (she's skinny and never needed to understand!) - another colleague said women need 1300 calories a day to maintain their weight....................! Ummmm I dunno what everyone else thinks, but that…

Morning everyone - trying to feel a bit more positive today after feeling blergh for the past few days. Trying to log my planned meals for the day as soon as I get into work - seeing if that helps keep me on track at all! Here's hoping.......... I'm thinking of stepping away from the weekly WI task......not because I don't…

The "off day" isn't my problem, its the shame spiral downwards into an "off week" that is my problem at the moment........

Love you and your honest kpnuts.......this is something I definitely battle with too. I had the weekend off healthy eating as it was birthday celebrations, but I logged what I ate and was quite shocked it wasn't as high as I thought it would be. Don't think this was good though, as now in the back of my mind I think ah…

Mine's 48-50, but I'm not an athlete! My dad has a low heart rate too (low 40s at resting!) so I think mine is to do with genetics.....

Afternoon everyone! Hope you all had a fab weekend (and where people have said awful, I hope it was awfully worth it though!). I'm back on it today after a weekend of cake, wine and chinese! Aiming for at least 3 trips to the gym as well, as I want to shake some lbs of this week (STS in my last weigh-in: miracle…

Everyone does it (check out my millionaire shortbread munching yesterday!) - but at least I know what the damage was and can move on!

Well thats in theory what would happen: as long as you burn more than you eat you'll lose weight. They must have been inhaling blocks of cheese to only lose about 1lb each!!

This is why most experts tell you to throw away the scales and go by inches lost instead.

Oooooh true I'd completely forgotten they'd been tracking their calories. Maybe they've been under-estimating.......or lying! Definitely agree with Ben - I love his attitude, and I really want him to win!

I dunno how big anyone here is with blogging, but I just had to tell you about this blog: http://ms*****cakes.blogspot.com It is a blog about a woman's journey to lose weight and exercise, and it is an inspirational blog. Every single problem, doubt or fear you've ever felt, Sheryl's had it, and conquered it. Whenever I'm…

Quick qu please lovely people! With exercise logging, I'm trying to only log my specific exercise sessions: long walks, gym sessions etc. I don't tend to log any general walking I do during the day (from the tube station, to my car etc) as although I might be walking for a bit longer, I was still walking before I started…

I've done photos and measurements because my PT said if you're exercising loads you might not lose weight, but you'll lose inches. That's what I'm hoping anyway!!! It's not too late to do them now, it'll still be really interesting to see how much your body changes, and will keep you motivated to see those inches melting…

Haha amazing!

I had great fun saving up my syns (amount of treats I can have) up for a saturday night drink-fest...............ironically I didnt WI that low on a Monday evening!!
