Yup - as I thought - up 1.4lbs to 268lbs... Not to worry - will take it as a kick up the *kitten* to do better this week... :smile: :wink: Tami - good to see you back chick - my goodness what a week you've had... I agree with Rach - don't stress - life has a way of chucking you a curve ball every now and again to keep you…

Dreading weigh in tomorrow... I've definitely put on this time and I can't hide behind TOM.... Reckon there's some muscle water retention but have to face facts that the scale's gone up!! :explode: :explode: :explode: Ah well... No one to blame but myself....

Thank goodness the hair is no longer neon pink! "Rose red" my *kitten*!! Have put some pics on but will get a decent one for my profile soon!

with my HRM I start it when the class starts and finish it when the class finishes.... the cool down has usually got my heart rate back to normal... Well done on your jog!! I've just dyed my hair and am thinking I'm not loving the colour... Going to have to take a trip to the chemist when OH gets back to get a darker…

Just wanted to say - I LOVE BOXERCISE!!!! And it looks like the weight it coming off again - was 266.6 yesterday and was 265 this morning! Woop woop!

Ahhh hun - don't beat yourself up about it... I was the same after my 2 weeks of not logging - put about 5lbs on (if not more)... I weighed this morning and am surprisingly back to what I was the last time I logged my weight so it will come back off... You know where you've gone awry and so that's the first step back on…

I jumped on the scale this morning.... Didn't want to not log my weight so was ready for the outcome of the gain... And it wasn't a gain! I now weigh exactly what I weighed before my scale amnesty! 266.6lbs!! How random is that! I'm pretty happy as it's a bit like my little break didn't really happen (although I know I'd…

Actually no - haven't heard from Tami... Very odd... Hope she's ok... I'm trying to avoid buying new clothes - getting a lot of things in charity shops or it our local catalogue clearance shop too - and generally have bought a size less than I am - incentive see! Failing that I'm just wearing leggings a lot!

Hi! I'm in Mid Wales... Been at it since January and have lost 2 and a half stone... Feel free to add me - just pop a message in the request! Good luck to you all!

Blimey Rach! That's some dedication! Good luck with it... I guess I should really log my weight gain... S'pose it is cheating really... I'll weigh in on Friday and whatever that is I'll log.... Promise... Just done my kettleworx for this week and have signed up to boxercise class on Friday... Hopefully I'll still be able…

I'm the same - i'm not adding my 5lbs back on! Hell no!! And I'm the same with the exercise cals... I'll eat them if I'm hungry but just going to save them as a buffer and just eat well this week... TOM arrived today so I'm hoping that some of it is water weight and by Friday some of it at least should have shifted!

Looks like you had a great time Becci! And looking so pretty!! :smooched:

Today I'm back at it - Off to the gym this morning, I have a kettleworx class tomorrow morning and I think I'll get back on the EA sports too... Maybe get on the 9 week challenge.. Only 7 weeks until the end of this challenge and I don't think I'm anywhere near where I should be... I know I'm sitting at about 270lbs at the…

Jenni and Rach - you ladies ROCK!!! Hugest congrats from me! I have decided I'm def going to do the race for life next year with my friend Jo.... SO that's something to aim for! :happy: Have just jumped on the scale and found that I'm up 5lb ish.... I think 2-3lbs could be TOM as it's nearly that time again so I'm not…

Hello peeps! I'm back after a really bad couple of weeks food and exercise wise (though I've had a truly awesome time on holiday!) I'm sorry that I've been so absent from the thread - have had very poor reception on my phone so it was impossible to get to the message boards on my phone! You're all doing great though! Now I…

Sorry for your loss Jenni... Don't really know what to say but to try and think about any teachings he gave you? Spirituality will mean different things to different people so think about what he meant to you and celebrate his life and what he meant to you.. Have a good day xx

Huge congrats! I was obese with both my pregnancies and actually lost weight with both of them - wasn't calories counting or on any diet - ate pretty healthy though... I think morning sickness probably helped lol... Like previous posters has said - eating a healthy diet is key - listen to your body and it will tell you…

Nice one Jenni! Bet you're super chuffed with yourself! Next week I will be doing a lot of walking as we're off camping and the beach is 1.5 miles away... Lots of walking to and from it from the campsite... and it's up hill on the way back! Should do the waist line some good and burn off some of the sausages and burgers…

Hello everyone! Everyone is doing sooooo well! So glad to know you all! soooooo We're just back for the weekend and then we've decided to go off camping next week so make the most of this gorgeous weather we're enjoying in Wales at the mo! Bought a new tent and have stocked up on accessories so will probably be living off…

I agree with Hanna... That feeling of lack of motivation and struggling is not a good one - I try and exercise it out but sometimes I feel pretty deflated... I've felt a bit like I've struggled this week - I've done no exercise today and will probably be over my cals and I'm off on holiday tomorrow so I'm going to have a…

I think they have different races all over the UK. The website is www.raceforlife.org I'm not fit enough to do it this year and I'm away on the days when it's near me so it's my goal to run/walk it next year.... It's 5k so I think it'll do-able then... Hopefully will have lost more weight from my boobs so it'll be more…

My friend who took our kettlebell workout says it's best to keep moving... Getting the muscles warm again will ease the soreness but just do something light and low impact... For my sore thighs she recommended 30 secs of cardio (skipping or jogging or jumping jacks) before doing any stretching to ease the muscle as it's…

Jenni - I don't blame you! I wouldn't put them away either as a rule but I though well I'm not here this week so won't be able to weigh myself everyday like I tend to so thats a start and then it's just another week! Cos I think I've put on this week and instead of getting pissed at myself if I have out on I've got the…

my mfp friend kittyinaz was asking if anyone fancied giving it a go so I thought why not! Wanna join us Hanna?! Maybe it could be a little mini 2 week challenge!

Good luck Rach! Bet you'll do amazing! Peeps - I'm contemplating putting my scale away until April 30th... Would any of you mind if I didn't post a WI for 2 Mondays?

woop woop Becci! That's amazing! YAY! I've done dismally on the 500 cal burn a day challenge i set for myself! And to top it off i'm away tonight for a friends birthday... Hopefully we'll do some crazy dancing which will offset the booze! Just done 45 mins on just dance 2 on the wii = when they say it's a sweat programme,…

thanks peeps... As I usually do my kettlebell class in the evening I usually don't want to eat afterwards so I was thinking a protein shake would help me get back the calories I'd exercised (around 450-500) and also help my muscles repair... Must say that I am quite enjoying the pain though! Just wish it wouldn't show on…

That's fantastic!! I'm off out tomorrow night - friend's birthday and I've not seen her in aaaaages! Hoping that the thighs are charitable and stop hurting but if not I'm sure a bit of dancing will help! Will get a work out in in the morning though - I weighed myself this morning and was up 3lbs! Luckily though I read that…

I'm alive and hurting!!! Lol!

By the way - my thighs are never going to forgive me for the pain they're in... :grumble: :grumble: :tongue:
