My two favourite things to eat at the moment are, cauliflower stir fry and spinach salad. With the stir fry I use cauliflower, mushrooms,onions and fry them up in coconut oil then add 2 eggs at the end and stir it up. I also add some balsamic reduction at the end for a sweet flavour. The spinach salad is spinach leaves,…

@irock008 awesome job you can see the difference. How tall are you?

Hey I'm looking to add some new South African mfp friends. I live in Cape Town. Feel free to add me ☺

Yay glad we have an active South African group and hope to see all my fellow mfp SA pals on this group ????????

Morning all Well I am in absolute agony. Not sure if I have pulled a nerve in my neck plus the muscle in between my shoulders, I went to the gym last night though I would take it easy, did an ab class and some swimming. Soo stupid. Got out the pool and felt the pain back worse than ever!! So frustrated cause now I can't do…

HI Ladies sorry I have not checked in this week. Been busy with school interviews again and swimming gala yesterday and trying to wind down the tutoring work, still got some noobs who are leaving everything to the last minute!! I have not been doing as much weights as I should of this week, I'm lacking self motivation and…

Wow Charissa you can see definite progress in your arms good job :flowerforyou: Julie shame I hate it when we're sick it knocks the crap out of you. Your stats look amazing so well done. I haven't taken any progress pics either, last week was a right off and the weekend did my head in!! Stressed with a lot of things and…

Hey Ladies Yay for me I got to go to gym last night after not going since Saturday and wow did it feel like forever!! I combined legs and arms too but I am no longer able to do squats or lunges, they absolutely kill my knees so I got one of my friends (instructor) to give me some new bum exercises to do. So happier about…

wow lovely words and so true. Definitely going to remind myself of these words when I'm having a down day :smile:

Not sure where you're swimming but I swim at the gym and it's compulsory to wear a cap, so we don't have those issues. I did however have a pregnant women ask me not to swim in her lane as she was scared I would kick her!! Really I've had 2 children and if I was so concerned with someone kicking me I wouldn't swim, you…

Yay so happy that one of us girlies are at goal, you're a great inspiration Julie and I am very grateful that you have been able to support me along the way. I love all the pics and your inspiring story. Can't wait to see what the future goals are. :flowerforyou: :happy: :heart:

Wow thanks for all the motivation. Julie you look amazing well done on reaching your goal sooo exciting. It's raining today and I've got another round of interviews this afternoon so no gym again, but I plan on doing a Jillian workout and some weights, I'd like to see how different I feel doing Jillian. I think I need to…

Hi Ladies Sorry for not showing up lately, I am still at it. This week is going to be tough as I won't be able to get to the gym cause of all the school meetings I have, being on the Student governing body means when they need to interview for new teachers I have to be there!! Yesterday was tough I went for a long walk 80…

Yes I am still alive just in case you were wondering lol I have been going to the gym and doing everything just not had time to update on here. It's a crazy month for us with tutoring and I cannot wait until the end of Nov when it quietens down and I get to take leave. last night was a bit slack at the gym, had to go get…

Excellent work everyone! Last night the gym was soo busy it was crazy. I did the 15 minute ab class, very nice loving it. I got my husband to spot me as I did bench press for the first time with the barbell, considering I always did it db. So bench press- 25kg (i know pretty small but will work my way up ) Row- 12kg…

Wow you guys are doing so good. Julie those weights are awesome keep it up :flowerforyou: I think I must take some measurements today cause the scale is going no where and I feel annoyed again!! :sad: I did a really good leg set on Saturday and am still in pain can barely walk lol. I did 1 set of 80kg and 2 sets of 60kg on…

Great job Jen you're doing so good keep it up ;-) Marise wow great accomplishment, you're on fire keep up the excellent working and I agree if we didn't have this group I know for sure I would of quit. I think when our 12 weeks are up we'll need to start something again with all the same ladies as we all motivate each…

Morning all I did tuesdays workout yesterday much to my disgrace considering I was feeling kak and started my period!! Gotta love being a female! I got one of the guys to check my form for the stiff leg deadlift and he said it was perfect so yay. I did 60kg plus the bar only cause it was already loaded and didn't feel like…

wow you're all doing so great, keep up the excellent work ladies :flowerforyou: I went to gym with the intention of doing my usual, 15 min ab class plus some cardio, but Lucien (my new helper) was doing a powerplate class which incorporated most of the upper arms I had to do so joined him for that as I knew he would kick…

Here's the link hope it helps :-) http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NlcBUKBBjnY&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DNlcBUKBBjnY

Thanks for the shout out ladies I totally surprised myself! The only calf raises I found that we're good doing it at home was the seated one. I had watched a YouTube video of a guy who used books to place his feet on and then held a db on his knee and did it that way. I'll look for the video again and post the link. You…

Morning Yesterdays workout was good. I started with a 15 min killer abs workout that one of the instructors was doing so joined in. Then I did squats with a 20kg weight plate x 6reps tough Dead lifts was a surprise because this was the first time i have used a barbel and I managed to do 3 set of 6 @ 70kg!! wow leg curls 3…

Wow Julie those are awesome weights. I moved up from 7kg to 8 kg lol, except the bent over row I can now do 12kg woo hoo lol. Charissa I decided I am going to do like 10 different ab workouts every day. I got a different guy to help me last night, he gave me some ab moves I have never done before. Can't remember half of…

great job on the weight increase, shows that the first 4 weeks really worked :smile: I think weekly threads will be great. I think I may have strained my left arm at the top on saturday so not sure if I should do legs tonight instead. Will see how it feels later. Have a great day everyone :happy:

Thanks ladies, Julie & Charissa both your legs are amazing, this is my goal for the last 8 weeks, get smaller legs and bum. I cannot wait to see how we go. Keep up the awesome work :flowerforyou:

Julie you look fabulous and I can definitely see a difference everywhere, well done :flowerforyou: Will post mine shortly. Just want to say I can't see any difference except for my arms!

Thanks Julie for the kind words and they are so true. I like most of us will get discouraged when the scale doesn't change and the measurements are all wack! I think if we just remember that we're on an amazing journey to a healthier lifestyle, and gaining strength as we do it. I think not giving up, (which none of us have…
