Did all my walks to work and back today, but focusing on my assignment for college at the moment so I'm keeping the calories low this week, keeping my walks up but cutting out the squat and crunch challenges and my gym/swim until this assignment is done. I've only got 3 questions to do so hoping I can get them done…

Same here, seems we've all crept off the track. I've been creeping off it the past couple of weeks for a few days each week, it's only been my good days that have kept my weight loss to 1-2 pounds a week, but I keep thinking, if I didn't have those bad days I could have lost so so much more. So back on track for me this…

Been so sunny here over the weekend so here in England everyone makes use of it to get out the bbq's before the rain and clouds return! So yeah I've had a couple of bad days this week, also flopped on Tuesday and Thursday as work had been a bit stressful for me and I got a bit emotional. Been so out of sync this week as…

I feel like that, I've always been big so it's a bit scary thinking about what I'll look like when I'm thinner. I want to keep the shape my body has just, thinner. I have an hourglass figure so I'd love to keep that when I get smaller. I guess it's a bridge to cross when it happens, in the end we're losing weight to be…

As those above have said, I personally see as extra fuel if I need it, I walk 80 minutes every day for work so I burn around 400 calories through doing this, as it's not an intense work out I don't tend to eat those calories back as I don't feel I need it, but they are there if I feel my body needs a little extra fuel to…

I'm back in business with this, so my goal today has been to balance college work with exercising and housework, along with a few breaks. I've actually found I haven't been overly hungry, and our meal for tonight that we've planned has turned out to be a nice light meal which sounds yummy. I've kept within my limit so far…

Plie squats done I dare you to hold a pound weight in either hand (or equivalent if you don't have a weight) and hold them out so you look like a T (with a head) for a minute without lowering your arms

I actually gained 2 Ib this week, I haven't been exercising as much and it's been ladies time of the month, so I'm back up to 192Ib with full intention of working that much harder this week. Exercise is going to be hard as I need to focus on my college assignment that's due on the 5th June, but this has been the first week…

Glad your shin is all healed up :) looks like we can both get back into the groove again :D

Hi guys!!! Everyone is doing so well :) Today I went swimming again after a two week break from it due to being ill, managed 30 lengths in 30 minutes with perfect breathing....wow!!! I was expecting a struggle and feeling like I am starting over...not that! So I am happy. Also began 30 day crunch challenge this week and…

Yeah I've missed the energy! Going to have an early night tonight so hopefully I'll be rested up for this week and all set to get my exercise groove on :)

Week One - 4/21/2013 (Weigh In) 197.7 Week Two - 4/28/2013 195.2 Week Three - 5/5/2013 194.1 Week Four - 5/12/2013 190.8 Week Five - 5/19/13 190.2 Been a tough week this week as I haven't been well and food and exercise have been iffy, so I'm happy with a half pound loss. Didn't take any measurements this week though.

Did 50 squats in a row (plus ran up the stairs and down 10 times) Love this idea! I dare you to do 20 lunges on each leg, as far down as you can get :)

Hi guys!! Very proud of myself this week considering I was ill AND pulled a muscle in my neck, so didn't go to gym or swim (did stuff at home where if it hurts I'm already home!) week one (weigh in): 197.7 week two: 195.2 week three: 194.1 week four: 190.8 Bust: 41.5 - 40 inches Arm: 11.9- 11 Waist: 32.5 - stayed the same…

Been bank holiday weekend this weekend, so had Monday off with everyone, that plus birthdays has made today the first full diet day (as I've done exercise just not the diet side really) for a few days. Pulled a muscle in my neck to top it off so couldn't swim but that didn't stop me finding alternatives! I walked, ran on…

Weight: 195.2 last week to 194.1Ib Bust: 42inches to 41.5 arm: 11.9- 11.9 waist: 33 - 32.5 hips: 45 - 44.5 thighs: 26 - 25 Was a bad week this week food wise, had birthdays and events this week but I can now focus completely as no events for the next few weeks :)

Plan for the day is to work on swimming again, I WILL go without no breaks and push through this barrier if it kills me! Figuratively speaking of course....but that's the goal! I had a nice early night last night and just had a little snack so hopefully by the time I get going to swimming I will have plenty of energy to…

So nervous about weigh in on Sunday, my goal for today is to burn as many calories as possible. So far so good, I've sped up my walk to work and back this morning, gone to the gym and my plan is to do again do a quick walk to work this afternoon and a bit of a workout in the evening to burn a bit more off. ^-^

I have the motivation, but I've been finding I keep having Tuesdays as an extra cheat day (as well as Sunday!) and I really need to stop this! My plan for Tuesdays has always been to go to the gym and workout between shifts, but last week I had it as a cheat day instead of Sunday, and this week I found I was so tired I…

Today was a swimming day, I managed 22 lengths today and really struggled but made it! It's not the 25 I was aiming for this week but I'm going to try and go Wednesday and Friday this week to up it to 3 sessions. I also walked to work as normal. My commitment today was to get up earlier and do some leg lifts before work,…

Reflections on week 1: I've worked hard this week with my exercise, but I am disapointed in myself for food for a couple of the days this week. On Tuesday I had my treat day and went overboard all day, rather than just the one meal I knew I would be having. The next day I then had a few treats through the day and ate more…

Hi guys! Weighed in this morning at the same time as last week. Last week Now Weight 197.7 195.5 = 2.5 pounds lost Bust 42 42 inches Waist 33 33 inches arm 12 11.9 inches hips 45 45 thighs 26.5 26 I wasn't as good as I could have been this week, I had my treat evening Tuesday night but didn't get back fully onto the diet…

I like a variety of cardio workouts, I swim twice a week (or try to) and that burns a lot of calories and works out all of your body. I also do tiffanyrotheworkouts on youtube, it's aerobic style designed to tone but in a cardio style as well, and that's fun for me. I suggest just finding a workout you enjoy because you…

I didn't go for my Friday swim today because my legs were aching from my tone up session yesterday. Instead I compromised by doing some youtube aerobic styled exercises, they have some leg movements in them but they aren't as intense as swimming would be. I managed 36 minutes (video minutes added up to that lol!) I'm…

I've had a bad couple of days, so my goal for today was to get back on track with food and exercise and to work that much harder with my workouts today which I succeeded in doing! Yay! Had a fab workout at the gym and I've done extra workout video's on top.

I have a bit of a plan, I am cutting out on bread but replacing it if I'm craving with similar products, but healthier, such as wholewheat wraps or rye crackers. I'm focusing on keeping the sugar low, so eating more veggies than fruit, and if I have enough sugar at the end of it I allow myself a treat such as a kitkat or a…

I love them all! :D I sweat so easily so my fat must be crying like mad lol!

I've met my plan already with swimming, I wanted to increase the speed that I do 20 laps which I managed from 23 minutes to 20 minutes today, I even managed to add on another 2 laps, so I'm happy with that. The rest of the plan for today is to meet my calorie goals, walk to work and back this afternoon and do some exercise…

Well I reached my plan and more, I did a 60 minute walk about 3.5 miles an hour speed wise, and then this evening I did 20 minutes worth of Tiffany Rothe youtube video's, one aerobic style and the other boxing which I found and really enjoyed. My plan is to kick up the boxing to play it 3 times as she recommends on the…

As it's a Sunday, and it's lovely and sunny out, my goal is a nice relaxing walk :)
