Hi cagas! Welcome to MFP, its fantastic here. I onnly joined last week, and have found everyone to be sooo supportive! Well done on your weight loss!

I have a glass of red wine about 3 times a week, but ALWAYS include it in my daily calorie allowance. I just make sure i keep a careful eye o n my food for the rest of the day. As from next week, i will only be having the glass of wine on a friday night , as i weigh myself on friday morning.

I am having cottage pie with LOTS of veggie and a glass of wine!

Thanks for this post!!

Makeitallsue- thanks for the reply. I will have a look at that site in a bit..just cooking dinner!! (must make sure it doesnt burn by the end of my post)!! ange_merchant- its so frustrating isnt it! I am resisting the urge to re-weigh myself though. I always weighed my self 1-4 times a day before i joined this site last…

well done! I bet you feel great!

Thanks again for all support you guys, it means so much to me!! I am trying not re-weigh myself again today..so have been keeping busy doing all the housework today (and i am sure that burns some cals)!!

Thanks Firefox. I will have a look at some HRMs now, thanks for the tip!

wow- well done to you!!! Thats so amazing! keep up the good work.xxx.

Thanks so much for the advice! OK, i'm going to go through your answer, and reply as best i can: My workouts consists of: 30mins brisk walk on the tredmill 20 mins on the air walker (i think its caled the air walker..its similar to a cross trainer) 3000 meters on the bikes at a'half way' level (takes about 10 mins) 2 sets…

hi Jaycee! I am kinda tempted to reduce my carbs as much as possible, because i KNOW that as soon as i eat either pasta, bread or potatoes, my stomach bloats up within 30 mins of eating it. i am not sure if thats normal, but its very uncomfortable! i think maybe having some carbs in the morning (like half a piece of toast)…

Dont be so hard on yourself, it was JUST 1 night. As long as you get back on track asap, there is nothing to worry about. Good luck!

A MASSIVE thanks for that little pep talk, i really needed it today.xxx. you are fantastic!

thanks for the reply, i dont add salt to anything at all, or do you mean cutting out the foods that contain salt?? and does anyone have any ideas what the high sodium foods are?

HOw sore and tried do you mean? If in pain, or ill, you shouldnt work out anyway. But if you mean that you have felt like you have done a workout, and you are just aching a bit, then i go anyway! Everyday, i moan about going to the gym, and all the walk there i am moaning that i dont want to go because its too cold/too…

I am glad that i am not the only one having this prob.. but not glad for the rest of you experianceing this (if that makes sense). I am not too worried, as i am just going to carry on doing what i am doing, and see what happens next friday when i weigh in!

I agree with Lisawest, water is the answer, or maybe a hot drink-herbal tea or fruit teas, with 0 or near 0 cals will fill you up. make sure you are eating your 1200 cals a day, as you dont want to eat less than that, or you will be hungry. Also, i have found that when i started, i thought i felt hungry at the times where…

Phew, panic over!! Thanks so much you guys, you are all so helpful, and i cant tell you how much your encouragement means to me today! wallena, you are so right. Although i cant really see the difference (its only been a week), i can feel adifference, i already feel a little bit fitter, and i feel better about my body,…

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I have decided to go for the shuffle, and have bought some decent earphones too! thanks again!

welcome!

thanks for the advice Harveywallbanger, i am not sure how the ipod nano works, lol. Can i just upload music from a Cd onto my laptop..and then download it onto an ipod (the same as with an MP3player)?

Thanks. I could cry right now, i feel so disappointed!

thanks Jane, i am just so disappointed. apart from eating next to nothing (which i wont do), i dont see how i can improve, and lose weight!

hi! I only joined this site this week, and am finding it VERY helpful, and everyone is really encouraging!! Well done for your 4lb loss!!

Thanks again for the adive, but my kids are school age (they are 5 and 10), so are at school from 9-3..but have breakfast club from 8am-9am..then after school club a few times a week, from 3pm-6pm.

hiya, thanks for the advice, you are right, even the crappy ones count! I cant get leave the kids in the evenings, as i have only just moved here to this area, and dont know anyone well enough. Also, i know what i am like,lol! if i left it to the evenings, i'd be too tired/have too much to do etc..and would never go! thats…

Thanks guys, I am quite new to this gym going, started in early december, and didnt realise how busy it would get!! I feel like i didnt achieve what i wanted to. you know that feeling you get when you have has a really good workout..when you are totally exhausted, and your body aches, but it feels sooo good!! Thats what i…
