Great news Dani, very happy everything went well for him :) Robin, top marks again with the map! Looks great and we'll more than likely have to extend our journey! Possibly back to New York but taking a different route?

Hope everything goes well for your Dad today, Dani :flowerforyou:

Thanks everyone for the great advice, I really appreciate it :) Ive had a couple of days to get my head together and think about it. We haven't had a proper sit down discussion about it yet because we've been busy doing our own things the last couple of days but Im gonna try and talk to him this week. Im pretty certain…

Just stumbled across this woman. She seems to have some good info! Especially in the second blog on plateaus! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bjohs/view/small-weight-gain-don-t-panic-127354 http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bjohs/view/plateau-vs-chocolate-who-won-116497

It totally is insane! 1st Test: 21/07/2011 Switch Kicks 94 Power Jacks 43 Power Knees 66 (I only did this on the right leg though...should I have done both sides?) Power Jumps 26 (Did NOT do these they way she did them in the video! Could barely get my legs off the…

Ok, this is proving to be tough for me cos today ended up being a total sugar overload so I don't feel too pleased with myself. If I was to pick anything good that happened today it would be that I did a good job on set today and got praised by my director. Im the head of the Sound Department and its my sole responsibility…

Wow!!! That's amazing Robin! It looks fantastic and it's so exciting to see our hard work translated into a cross-country adventure! Great work on the map! And well done to all us Hottie's for burning nearly 35,000 calories in our first week!!! :) WhooHOOO! Just dropping by to leave a quick note. So my 'long' day didn't…

Hmm I might try making out my shopping list for next week from the link you've posted above, Kerri. Very interesting :)

Good GOD I am totally hopeless! Burger and chips for lunch today :( Kerri, when you said I should eat more on workout days, Im guessing you didn't mean pigging out on fast food! lol This might be another bad move on my part but since I cant accurately calculate the nutritional value of my lunch today (although Im guessing…

BUMP!! Thanks!

So yesterday was a disaster, food-wise, and even after one day the discomfort and bloating I had all day was just RIDICULOUS! I wish I could bottle that yucky feeling and just wave it in front of my eyes whenever I am tempted with bad food. It would definitely make me choose the healthier option! Im back to my normal…

Thank you for that link Kerri, you've actually knocked some sense into me :) I think I would be happy to be at this weight for the rest of my life if I toned up. I never thought about it like that!! You are the light at the end of the tunnel Kerri!! :) Today, however has been pretty close to a write off! Ive been working…

Well ladies, Im weighing in first on this lovely Friday morning but even after the good week Ive had, the effort I put in and staying on track with my food/water, I have to report a gain on last weeks number :( Week 1(07.08.2011): 154.4lbs Week 2(07.15.2011): 155.6lbs :( :( :( Week 3(07.22.2011): Week 4(07.29.2011): Week…

Hi Hotties, Dunno what was up with me today, I just did not want to do anything. I kept putting my workout off til the last minute. I was supposed to go to the gym today and get a big burn in but I just didn't feel like it. So I decided I would do my Biggest Loser strength training DVD for 40mins and get a 40min run in as…

Your smile IS bangin'!!!! And I love your hair too! :)

Dani that is the coolest thing Ive ever heard!! Its almost like a super-power! haha I absolutely love when I make people laugh. It makes me feel really great and its important to me that people like me and enjoy my company :) On the outside...I guess I love my eyes :) They don't do anything awesome like change colours! But…

Aw Robin, So sorry to hear that petal :( I misunderstood the positive vibes you requested on your status. Warm hugs and kisses flying your way :flowerforyou: You definitely deserve better hun. On again - Off again relationships are never good so I think it may probably be a blessing in disguise. I hope Im not sounding rude…

Good morning everyone! This coast to coast challenge has really motivated me to give it my all this week on the exercise front! I'll have no excuse to miss a workout now! :) I have no idea what city to pick.... Can I go with Chicago? My new personal goal this week is to stop all food and drink intake (except water) after…

A woman I knew from my childhood (when I was a fat, ugly lump of nothingness!) bumped into me and my family at my brother's Holy Communion recently and I overheard her saying to my mom "Is that Lorraine?? Lord, I wouldn't recognize her...she's a lovely girl now". I wonder what she thought of me before?! Some people, eh?!

Brilliant!!! This is going to be a great challenge! So much thought put into it!! Love all the ideas :) So we'll start counting on Monday 11th. Im so excited! Im hoping to rake in a big calorie burn next week so we should be well on our way from NYC if everyone has a good week! :) Im definitely on for the Weekly challenge…

Hellooooooo Hotties! Whoop to dezil for maintaining! You're so close to your goal weight! Jealous.com :) I know the feeling of getting back into a workout after a break, I started back last week and I couldn't move an inch for about 4 days afterwards! Im never taking as big a break again! And yay for $6 jeans! That is…

Best part of the day for me is relaxing in the evening with my daily cup of coffee and a tiny bar of chocolate :love: It's what I work so hard during the day for!! :laugh:

Whoop!!!!! Off to a go start in this first week :) That's always the easy part!! 3 more weeks to go!!!

Yep! Here I am!! From West Cork but living in the Big Smoke :)

MINI GOALS!!!! Set small goals for yourself to make the task of losing 30lbs seem less daunting. Set a goal of losing 4lbs in the next 2 weeks, work towards it and reward yourself when you get there. Then make another goal. They can be shorter goals or non-scale goals, like lose 1.5lbs by the end of the week or burn 2000…

yes, bloating and water retention around TOM leads to slight weight gain but will be gone again once its finished :) I usually go up 2-3lbs around that time!! No biggie, its only a temporary gain.
