Tami - Wow! That's pretty much all I have to say. I think it's fantastic that you can be so strong and evaluate your situation and what you want so well. Maybe you should give lessons to people. I know that sometimes I could do with a few. xx Rach - Sorry to hear you're feeling ill. Hope you, the kids and the hubby feel…

I think we're all finding ourselves in the same boat at the moment. So much seems to be going on IRL for all of us. I just wanted you all to know that I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. I'm so sorry to read that some of our group are struggling or going through hard times at the moment. From what I've grown to know of…

Hey all Just here quickly to explain my absence over the last few days. I've had a whole lot going on. I've been back and forth to the doctors about my ears, which are driving me up the wall. I've also been helping a friend out who is going through a bad time. This has meant that with everything going on, I've hardly had…

I've lost my will to live with MFP today. I typed a nice long post to you all, hit send and it told me that I couldn't send a blank message! O.o I shall come back tomorrow though, when I'm not angry with the site anymore and type it again. From now on, I'll be using ctrl + c before I hit the post button lol. Hope you've…

E for exercise... I have taken to walking down to the beach and going from pier to pier and back again. It's just over 1.4 miles each way and is a really lovely walk, especially in this weather. My goal with it, is to up my speed of doing it. I started out with a gentle walk and am now trying to get a good sweat going on.…

Share a tip Wednesday... Keep your shelves stocked with good healthy foods. Then when you can resist going for that late night snack, at least you know it isn't going to be really unhealthy. I always keep a tub of peach and pear cubes in my fridge. Not only does it satisfy my sweet tooth, it's really low on calories. :)

So here we are for Open up Tuesday again... This is something some of my friends know about me, but most don't. I have a real issue with the age 39. I'm 33 now and hittin 39 scares the hell out of me. I know exactly why I feel like that and I know it's completely irrational to think it too. Basically my Dad died when he…

No loss this week. Holding steady at 217lbs. Didn't really expect to have lost this week though as I've not been able to do any proper exercise. At least I'm allowed to start again now though, so that's something. Silly rules after injections. How's everyone else doing on this fine day? x
-
Don't give up Clare. I know you must be so frustrated. Just remember that you've already lost that weight and you can get there again. We're all here to support you and I have faith that you can get that weight off and get back on track. The body is a curious beast and sometimes it's hard to control it, but please…

Hi ladies :) I'm finally able to sit at the computer. Granted, it's not for a long period of time, but at least I can get on. My personal challenge this week is to walk as much as possible. I've been told by the doctor that I can't do much aerobic work, but that walking is the best thing to do after my injections. I'm…
-
@Jenni Great tip :) Mine is something I've started to do to stop the grazing. Brush your teeth earlier than just before bed. Once I've brushed, I'm less inclined to want to ruin it by eating again.
-
I'm always looking for new buddies to support and be supported by. I'll add you now. :)
-
@Hanna What you said made perfect sense. I sometimes feel the same exact way. You're right, we have waged a war against our own bodies, but the important thing is that now we've decided to win the war. Granted, we may not have had the bodies that we wanted in earlier years but remember that when you get to your target…
-
I'm here! So... Open up Tuesday... I don't really know what to type this week to be honest. I guess I can tell you about my week so far. It's been doctors and more doctors for me this week. Yesterday I had physiotherapy, today I had to go and see a doctor about my right ear constantly ringing and tomorrow I'm going to the…
-
Sorry I didn't log yesterday ladies. I wasn't feeling too great. Luckily it seems to have passed today, so I'm back on it. :) Lost another 2lbs this week, taking me down to 217lbs. I will come back later on this evening to catch up properly on posts, but I've just run in the door to post this and am now about to run back…

I have also been watching Biggest Loser USA this morning. It has inspired me to get off my backside today. The weather is pretty miserable here and I was just going to stay in, but I've decided that even though it's raining, I'm going to grab my waterproof jacket and walk down to the beach and walk from pier to pier and…

Damn I missed yesterday!!! Okay a health tip for yesterday... Let's go for the one we all know we should be doing. Water, water and more water. :) ...And for today, E for Exercise! I'm doing a combination of: Zumba Wii - I love this. It makes me ache like hell the next day, but I do have a lot of fun doing it. For anyone…
-
Okay, so Open Tuesday... I've been thinking about what to write here and so far I've come up with nothing. I figured, rather than trying to think about it, I may as well come and sit at my keyboard and see what comes out. So here it goes... I've spent a lot of time really disliking the way I look in a mirror. I'm the girl…

I'm back! :) Went for my weigh in. Lost 1lb since last time, which takes me to 219lbs as of today. Last week I burned 4315 calories for the weekly challenge. For my personal challenge this week, I'm going to try to stay within my calories each day and I'm also going to try to match or beat my calories burned from last…

I'm here! I've been away over the weekend, so haven't had a chance to check in before this. Loving the idea for the week too. Today is weigh in day, so I'll be back in a couple of hours to do a proper check in. :) Keep losing losers. :)
-
Hey ladies Sorry I've been MIA the last few days. Been all over the show for some reason. I'm totally up for the new challenge. I shall start keeping a running total. Hope you're all well. Well done to those of you who have lost weight :) and for those that haven't (myself included this week), let's make this week a better…

Afternoon everyone Like the sound of 10x10 challenge. Haven't done any skipping in years though so it could be fun lol. I've done my Monday weigh in and I have to say I was dreading it. I really thought I'd put on this week, so was thrilled to see I'd lost 3lbs. :) Keep at it my loser friends. x
-
Hey all Just thought I'd check in as haven't been about properly online for a couple of days. So far this week is going okay. I've managed to keep up with my goals so far, although I'm shattered today. Been having a huge clear out and general spring clean of my flat. I've been up and down ladders all day! Off for a bath…
-
30DS done. 30 minute walk done. 2 litres of water down the hatch. Good day in all. How's everyone doing?
-
I've just done day 3 of level 1. If anyone wants support or feels like giving it, feel free to add me. :)
-
I may have started with a little too much enthusiasm. I've done 20 mins of 30DS, 45 mins of Zumba, 30 mins of walking and an hour of pretty vigorus (and it really was vigorus) cleaning. MFP is telling me I've burned 1089 calories. I know that the MFP calories is a bit generous with it's calories, so I'm knocking a third…
-
I don't have pics yet. There is one full length one on my profile, but I'm in a dress so you can't really see body shape and such. I will get one of my friends to take a pic when they come over. Living alone means it's a nightmare to take full length pics of yourself. I've tried to do it with a mirror so many times, but…
