I'm really loving Open Tuesdays.... It's such a great idea and fab to get to know each other better!

I'm in Mid Wales... Anyone can add me!

Open Tuesday.... I wish this weight loss thing was easier - as I guess everyone does.... I wish I could get my head around the whole food thing and REALLY decide not to eat things that aren't good for me, not eat them and feel guilt and say "oh well tomorrow is another day it won't hurt" - just REALLY not want to eat…

ahhhh Rach - *gives a leg up onto the wagon and plumps the cushions* I get really disheartened when I weigh myself after exercise and it shows a higher number! Don' forget with strength training you need to concentrate less on the scales and more on how your clothes fit and how fit you feel (or so my kettlehell/boxercise…

oh and can I make a request? When posting our weights can we actually post the weight and not "down 1 lb" or "up 0.2lb" just so I know I have the right weight for you each week... Hope those of you using kg don't mind me converting your weights into lbs either.... easier for the purposes of seeing who's lost the most!…

checking in on Monday! Rach - think you're right about personal challenges... If everyone is happy with that we can all set our own goals for this week... Mine is to stay under my cals all week... I seem to have gone over a couple of times last week, some by a few cals other times by loads so going to keep that in check…

another success thing for me is I've gone from having 2 sugars in tea to having 1 sweetener to now having nothing but milk! I never used to have sugar in tea until i got pregnant and haven't been able to get myself off it until now so I'm pretty chuffed with that! How would everyone feel about a 10x10 challenge again?…

This is a fantastic idea! I'm going to write it onto the whiteboard of my fridge along with the H.A.L.T. thing you put in a wall post... Sooooooo today is Sunday.... Success day.... this week has been great actually - got back into the habit of counting calories and went to a kettlehell class on a different day as I…

Oh Jen... Be strong chick - seems like you're having a tough old time of it.... It's hard when you're head seems to jump off the page that your heart wants to be on... I find it hard to make good food choices when I'm not at home too... It's so unfair that it takes forever to get the weight off but only a couple of bad…

Good to hear from you Jenni! Take some time to relax a bit - you need sleep for weight loss too! Today I had a fabby day! Had a really good boxercise session this morning - did some boxing circuits which was fun! Making a curry for tea tonight yum yum! Might be able to have some peanut M&Ms later - damn i love those!

Weighed myself this morning - I'm a happy lady! Down to 262.6lbs! Definitely thinking that most of the gain was TOM now.... Feeling in a much better place than I was yesterday - no more heart palpitations and dizziness... Boxercise this morning... Woop! Hope you all have a fab friday! (Where IS everyone?!)

You look stunning! Well done!

Sounds fun! Enjoy!

Thanks Hanna.... My mum dropped my meds off at about 5pm so I've taken them and starting to feel a little more "balanced"! Had some supper too so with any luck normal service will resume tomorrow! Went over a little tonight but think I probably needed it... Wasn't vast so I'm quite happy really - could have been much much…

Today did not go well... My mum picked me up to go to the gym and on the way we stopped to puck up my AD prescription from the pharmacy. It was supposed to have been there on Tuesday but they'd had trouble getting them. And they still hadn't got them... I was cross and then had a bit of a panic attack as I'd run out of…

Well TOM turned up early! Took me a little by surprise but hey ho! Hayfever is playing merry hell with my asthma and I have a wonderful chesty cough and snotty nose to contend with.... Ah well! Gym later methinks...

We are in a rut aren't we! I weighed this morning and the result was..... 265.4lbs.... Not as bad as I thought it would be tbh... My asda delivery came this morning with my meal replacement shakes... Will just be replacing my lunch with a shake for the time being... Also bought something called "now slim hunger strips"...…

I very much doubt I'll be a big contender for the most cals burnt this week wither Courtney! Though today I've done 894 as I did the gym and then did an evening kettlehell class as I have to miss it tomorrow morning for a dentist appointment... ick... So tomorrow is a bit of walking to and from the dentist (down a hill…

Is that the cabbage soup diet? sounds ummmm windy to me!! but let me know how it goes if you do do it! I was going to do the biggest loser replacement shakes and soups but since reading that the soups are like emulsion I've opted for the much cheaper asda version... Get my delivery tomorrow so will see how that goes...…

Forgot to weigh before breakfast.... In fact I'm not going to weigh until the next weigh in... I can't do it! I know it'll be bad and I don't want to knock myself before I get back into the swing of things!! Hope you ladies don't mind! Thanks for the welcome back Tami - so sorry to hear you're having a rough time... TOM…

Yup - sounds good to me! Hanna - is that an awesome new haircut?! :heart: :heart: :heart: it!

what we need is a challenge!!!

Right you lot! I'm back! I did NO exercise other than walking about and running after the kids... I ate FAR too much (breakfast and evening meal included means you feel sort of inclined to eat lots - after all, you've paid for it! Too many desserts and sausage and bacon for breakfast!) I DRANK far too much but had an…

Thanks! Needed that!

Me again! Our holiday starts today! Shaun's auntie and Uncle live on the way to Minehead so to break up the 4 hour journey in half we're off to stay with them tonight.... They always have fabulous food and wine so will be having a good time tonight!!! Probably won't be able to get onto the community pages unless I find…

***TMI**** Took my special pill last night - and STILL nothing! WTF!! Even had a hot curry for dinner last night! Grrrrr! Feel so bloated and uncomfortable... All I have to say is - Woo hoo!!!

Rach - We're off to Butlins Minehead... Have never been to Butlins before so really looking forward to it! Taking my parents too so hopefully me and Shaun can have some couple time while they babysit the kids... I'm up for the 10 x 10.... I think they're mostly things I can do while I'm away... Skipping may be an issue so…

TMI ALERT!!! I think I must be "bunged up"... I have a blockage.... I have stomach ache that feels like I've got a bag of stones in my gut. It's not nice... Think I'll be taking a special pill this evening! On a brighter note - I did a sneaky weigh in this morning and I'm sitting on 262 today... Which is 2lbs down from…

Hope you have a great time away Courtney... I too will be about less from Monday - will try and keep up as I think there is a wifi hotspot.. xx

Ahhhh that's sweet! I remember feeling like that about Shaun! Well done on your loss though! That's fab for an unmotivated 5 day week! Hope I get something like that on Monday... Yes, this week and next I'll weigh in on Monday - makes sense as I'm on holiday Monday to Monday - I don't have to drag the scales along with me!…
