  • Girls, It really has been the highlight of my day coming on here and seeing your posts today! thank you for keeping a smile on my face! Kel - Welcome, I love you already (especially as that was your 1st ever community post :) ) Dee - change is always good. I was using various DVD's but found they were just not making me…
  • PS...yay welcome Brie!
  • Well, hi all! I am ignoring my Wii telling me to do my 'daily body test' as i know how unhealthy it can be to weigh yourself every day. I found myself starting to obsess over it last time which was BAD! I felt like i ate LOADS today but still checked in WAY under calories like almost 300 under! ok, I did do 175 cals worth…
  • Hey Brie (and Amy) Brie, if you fancy joining a group of ladies who give each other great support (or will do) feel free to join us in the chubby twenties group! The community is the best way to keep motivated!!!

  • hi ladies...welcome back my little natstar! so i got on my Wii today (for the 1st time in 17 days apparently) and it told me I had GAINED 4 lbs! I refuse to believe this but it could very well be true! I am not logging it on my tracker as from the past all this did was bring me down!!! I am now 100% more determined to be…
  • Hey Mosaix welcome to the group!! just realised I didn't post my goal weights, by the way, theres no pressure to do this in this group, if you feel comfortable...do it, if not dont!!! but do keep us up to date on your losses (or gains if they happen, which they do to me!) and just expect encouragement!!! CW: 230 GW1:209 -…
  • Well, welcome to the new group Danlol. The original group was a great place to be inspired by amazing 20-something's and was a 'safe place' to vent!! new buddies always welcome!!
  • Absie made some excellent points! Ive been 'dieting' for 8 ish months, lost 25lbs and am damn proud...do I still eat chocolate..Hell yea! I just dont eat a whole load every day like I used to! I make sure I manage a 'treat' into my calories every day. Whether it be doing a bit extra working out or just having a healthier…
  • Yea just eating salad is probably gonna hinder your loss as you get bored and then are more likely to pick on something tastier!! The 2 ideas above are amazing... I do a kinda sorta paella dish that is tasty and healthy... I use the uncle bens micro rice for this and pan cook it with the whole dish...if you use uncooked…
  • best thing I have just started to do - 2 bottles of water used as weights! look online for some toning exercises such as waist twists using weights as well as squats. sounds odd but hold a bottle in each hand (anything from 500ml to 2litres) and drop each shoulder from side to side - as if you are bending slightly to each…
  • Hey guys, Daniel fast went really well, made a killer veggie curry all from scratch and was amazed at how tasty it was! God is working in my life and I know that the prayer and fasting I went through prior to conference helped! I have felt such a shift in my soul. AMAZING! am totally going to do this fast again and for the…
  • Thanks so much guys, found today really hard!!! was working all day and didnt manage to get to the shop to buy anything to munch on! but doing ok!!! You are all ace and when its over I will keep you updated!!
  • KEEP GOING! When i increased my water from 1 cup to 8 cups minimum i was peeing like a racehorse, but I didnt half notice the difference in everything! sounds gross but my pee became clearer and not strong in smell (told you it was gross) and my skin is WAY better! I now dont pee as often unless i have a day off drinking…
  • Smoothie! its the way forward! I was so low on calories at one point and wasnt seeing any shift, now if im low i drink a smoothie or munch some pistachios or almonds and im bumped right up!
  • ok this sounds AMAZING! so so pleased they dont have them in the UK! Why not try the idea below, frozen yoghurt is a great replacement for icecream that is used in macdonalds milkshakes. hard to make it as thick and may not taste the same but still, yummy and way less calories! Frozen Yoghurt is my new best friend! good…
  • Like Steve said, the scales dont just measure fat. Technically a pound of fat = a pound of muscle, however that muscle is smaller in VOLUME to the fat, if you are gaining muscle you need to take measurements if you want to see the way your body is changing. Lock your scales away. I know its really hard and I find it…
  • Thanks Peter, Think it was because the last bit of food i had was @ 1pm so had bugger all energy! I normally work out on an empty tummy but this was bad! i did like 10 minutes and was like, no no more now, shaking and everything! made me a little sad as i was well up for a proper workout!
  • man, I just did some of my workout and i really really wish i had waited till i had eaten! feel all blergh and weak! Did something new on my fitness trainer cardio - ducking in boxing - owwwwwwww, my thighs hurt!!! would have felt aces tho if i want hungry. And yes, i am aware that its bad to workout on a truely empty…
  • not Catholic, although was never brought up catholic and have ALWAYS done lent, mus blame grandparents! anyway I know im late to this thread but...I gave up chocolate and WHITE WHEAT FLOUR! seriously hard!!!! Its in EVERYTHING! bread, pasta, etc. My thoughts behind it was i know how bad white flour is it being bleached and…

  • Brilliant thanks, I find palm tree helps a little but i dont half notice how weak they are when doing it! wii fit tells me 'im very shakey' tee hee!
  • Hi guys, Skodagirl do you have the regular MFC? i have both that one and the Cardio workout and imuch prefer the cardio one, the instructor in the regulag one is a *****! JAM - your comment about clothes fitting is SO TRUE! I have been on MFP for about 2 months and have only lost 6lbs but my clothes fit so much better! i…
  • No not at all like punching work card but not going to work! on the cardio boxing one they can design you a workout for the day or you can al a carte work out! I chose designed workout and it gave me jump rope which I cant do in my house due to a downstairs housemate and very broken wooden floors! I want to get a punch…
  • So im getting a little bored of being shouted at by my Wii fit board!!! i didnt log on for 3 days as I was doing another workout or i had a rest day...he sounded so dissapointed!!! Also does anyone have My fitness coach Cardio workout? Is there a way to get a punch stamp without doing the daily planned workout? Gem
  • hi guys, Been so good this week, 3 days in a row with a plan to make it a FULL 7!!! woo!!! I think I am a little in love with the feeling after the workout! 1 question...did my body test on Wii fit + today and it said i had gained something crazy like 6lbs in less than 24 hours! does anyone else get this? I redid the test…
  • been away for a few days so havent had a chance to get on the Wii yet but really really felt my workout from friday over the weekend! is it wrong that i enjoyed feeling the pain in my thighs and arms? Really getting into My fitness trainer Cardio workout. It is really good not too hard but really works up a sweat,…
  • I just did a 30 min work out on wii fit - my personal workout (18 mins) of yoga and muscle work then rhythm kung fu and boxing, and (2 whole minutes of) hula hoop and it only burned 175 calories! its kinda annoying that it doesnt seem to burn much but I also dont really feel tired, hot and sweaty yea but happy to carry on…
  • Hi guys, got my Wii for Christmas, was amazing throughout the 1st 2 weeks of January then got slack! I have Wii fit plus (amazing and fun) and i just bought my fitness coach cardio workout which is amazing and ive seen proven results from a friend of mine. Getting back in the swing today, love how wii fit tracks your…
  • I did it a few years ago and it worked brilliantly but then i didnt follow the rest of the plan so it was a quick fix and i put it all back on again! however i tried it again the following year, did exactly the same thing and didnt lose anything. this could have been because of an underactive thyroid which was diagnosed…
  • I am exactly the same! i start off with all the right intentions and then fail!!! my only tip is to keep an eye on your goal, remind yourself why you are going it and don't deny yourself things because that just leads to cravings! Good luck!! xx
