Great motivation - thanks for sharing

The everything in moderation rule applies nicely here. The caffeine within a cup of coffee varies depending on how you brew your coffee - a cup of espresso (used as the base for lattes, machiattos etc) is typically less than 80mg, a cup of instant will give you 100mg, whilst a cup of filter coffee will give you 140mg.…

Thanks for posting. This has been a good thing for me to see. I also started on Ja 4th last year and started well. Then it waned and I messed about. I had a bried good spurt before my hols in the summer and have let life take over again and allow me to make the wrong choices again. See what I COULD have achieved has I kept…

:smile: click settings then click user settings / diet profil then by your weight / height measurement there should be a link to click to change to imperial settings. hope this works for you!

Weigh in - just get the pain over with - it may not be as bad as you expect. Once it's done it's done and you know where you are and what to do about it.

Another 10.76 miles ticked off today.

thinking off you both - positive vibes heading your way

Hi this sounds like a great idea and I know it's not the same but Pizza Express have their Leggera menu which does give you some options. for me the options would be: 1) smaller portions (you can still have the full flavour without having all the cals) - trouble with larger portions is I eat them all! If there's none left…

Good question - I have the same problem! I'm looking for something with Pilates in for kinect but have so far not found anything. Any suggestions?

Week 4 results - I was back up again 3 lbs weighed in a couple of days early though as away on the Friday Weeks 5 away on hols and enjoying myself! Week 6 back from hols and 1lb down

Week 3 results : down another 1.4lbs this week (weighed in last Friday - sorry just realised I forgot to post). I'll weigh in on Wednesday this week as then i'm off on hols.

Hi there Carnat22 Here's a link to the article I read that helped me work it out - it might explain things better than I do and there's lots of questions and answers which follow. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/212510-how-to-zig-zag-cals-properly-caloric-cycling-properly Hope this helps

HI Carnat, My original plan had me on 1200 cals per day but this was set to try and lose me 1.5lbs per week. I have adjusted it to be 1lb per week and my net target has increased to 1340. I also looked at what my maintenance cals would be - i.e. the most I can eat without gaining (in the Goals section ) and for me that's…

Brilliant stuff - thanks!

Week 2 results: back down again this week. Now at 173.8 so pretty much at the starting point. I haven't been too good this week though and have zagged a bit more than I intended - LOL ( a night out with the girls involving too much prosecco and a comfort food day which followed) I'll stick with it a little longer.!

Where do you get your quark from - I'm struggling to et my hands on it.... tesco's and sainsbury's near me don't sell it any more...

Bump - need to remember what's happening when!

Hey Rosy, good to see you made the Zumba class - hope you've been keeping it going. Lots of friends on here swear by Zumba so I hpe it's filling you with energy too. as for me I've been pretty good on the alcohol front although caught myself catching the lift a couple of times this week so need to revert back to stairs…

Week 1 results: All was looking good until yesterday I was down another 1.4lbs as of Wednesday am. But yesterday so a leap in the scales that has not gone yet - I think I am due a visit from my old friend TOM so not unduly worried. I had a takeaway treat yesterday so I'll stick with it another week and see where I get to.

OK - so starting weight - 173.4 which is 1.6lbs down on last week!! Maybe this isn't necessary after all - LOL but I'll give it my best shot and see how i go

Slight flaw in my plan I forgot to weigh myself this morning - I'll weigh myself in the morning (Saturday) for this week only. I threw some HIIT into my workout tonight too - to add to the fun!

Congrats on finishing the C25K and good luck with the race tonight.

Great idea - think you might have the measure of us Lee!

How about bonus points for trying a new activity? E.g. 50 extra cals For me that would be swimming or anything strength related!

Innocent veg pots - The Thai curry one is 234 cals and very filling. They have a variety too all of which under 400 cals I think and gets you 3 portions of fruit & veg in one go. I suspect the supermarket own brand ones will be similar (cheaper but not sure about the cals). do you have time to prepare a packed lunch (salad…

Great timing - Double the incentive to get my *kitten* on the bike tinight then!

Good luck one and all - let's hope for a massive collective burn this month!

Congrats that's a great start! And you're right logging it all really makes you realise what you're eating and what exercise (or lack of it!) you're actually doing. Stay with it - looks like you're in for a great journey and result

Thought i'd check in today to see how I'm going against my mini goals. So far so good. I'm at 3 units of alcohol for the week. I haven't used the lift at work and I have moved at least 1 mile per day
