Hi Ladies, My head hasn't been back on track 100% since Ive gotten back from hols so Ive decided to kick it back up a notch this week and get the ball rolling again. I decided to make out a plan for the week and then thought I should should lay my plan out in this thread so I have some accountability. Monday Food: Under…

Hi ladies, 157lbs for me this morning. Happy because I am half way through working off a serious holiday gain (8lbs?!?! Half of it was water though cos Im down 4lbs this week from drinking water alone) but on the other hand Im disappointed that Ive let myself slip this far. Im up 1lb from when we started the challenge 3…

I know exactly how numbers can take over your life. I often judge my success/failure by the numbers on the scale even though I know there are so many other factors to success. I just refuse to let myself see them. So even though it may be hard for you to get your head around, just block those numbers from your mind. They…

Phew, back from Lanzarote. Had a great time, got very sunburnt...tiniest of a colour (I dont tan!), ate/drank WAY too much, but I was on hols with 5 guys who wanted to eat out everynight and drink so my willpower was quickly burned out! Anyways, Im back to normality and want to try and get back to MFP and a regular routine…

Hi girls! BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!! Phew! Im up the walls with work this week and it was all last minute stuff so my workout plan has been sabotaged to no end!! I work freelance so I get calls to work at the drop of a hat! Anyhoo, my weigh in this week, Im down 1.8lbs to 153 :) Happy enough with this. Im off to Lanzarote…

Best of luck on reaching your goals Diana. And well done for signing up for the walk. Im positive you will get to where you want to go. Come back to us if you need to! :) And Dani, congrats on a great weekend of good food choices and size 8's! That's fab news! I can't wait for the day when I can slip into a pair of size 8…

Hi Ladies, Up a tiny bit this week due to my junk food binge on set at the start of the week! Im 154.8lbs this week. I think the big burns I had yesterday and today may have helped me on the scale a bit cos I thought I would be up a lot more! Anyhoo Im not worried about it because Im back on track and giving ti my all this…

Hellloooooo girls! Just catching up on my thread reading. Everyone's doing pretty well so far even though there does seem to be a bit of a lull in the group, probably because it's 2/3's into the challenge and we may be losing steam but it's time to pick it up for the final stretch! Wow I feel like Ive been underground the…

I completely agree. Funnily enough Ive spent every night this week watching a marathon of The Biggest Loser episodes from the past 3 seasons! I was totally addicted to it and its great for motivation and tips on eating and working out but Ive got my head screwed on and I know its impossible to achieve those results within…

What a brilliant idea! I tend to focus so much energy on what I dont like instead of been thankfully for what I do like! So here we go...feeling a bit awkward complimenting myself but hey! 1. Im a good singer (but Im too shy to sing in public! :blushing: ) 2. Im a good artist 3. Compared to the old me... Im a bit of a…

Hi everyone, Sorry Ive been out of the loop lately. Its been a challenging month this month, a few ups but mostly downs and I completely fell off track with MFP. Well, Im in a happier mood today, Im pretty pretty sure TOM has finally arrived....15 days late :( My head is wrecked from all the stress. I think it must have…

That's a great quote :) Ive just been watching an episode of The Biggest Loser and they held a 5k run in a local community with past winners from The Biggest Loser seasons. And the motto of the race was: "Don't compete, just complete" and there were people who took part in the race who were over 400lbs. And no matter how…

Hi everyone, Im so lost at the moment I really don't know what to think or do. Im going through a tough time at the moment. Basically TOM is 10days late and Im losing my mind with worry. I can't focus on anything now except this wait and all my energy is channeled into hoping and praying its just a false alarm. Ive been…

Hello! Oh how I miss everyone! This has been such a long and tiring week :( And I completely fell off the wagon. Been eating crap and snacking all week. Total disaster. Well Im up 3lbs this week and Im only surprised that it isn't alot more. I just feel like utter crap right now. I haven't worked out all week and my system…

bump. Thanks!

Hi girls, just dropping a quick note...I'm working on reshoots for a film all of this week which means longggg days so I wont be chatting much this week. I also will have ZERO time for workouts as I could be working up to 16 hours each day :( So I wont be doing this weeks challenge etc. I will however be trying my best to…

Just posting my stats for easy reading: F2F Goal: 140lbs Week 0: 156lbs Week 1: 155.8lbs Week 2: 157.4lbs (TOM) Week 3: 151lbs Week 4: 150lbs Week 5: 150lbs

Oh my gosh! Sorry to hear all you ladies are so under the weather and injured! Hope the ankle heals soon enough Lori, I had operations on my foot years ago and I know what a pain in the *kitten* crutches can be for a long period of time! So, well wishes coming your way! :flowerforyou: And @cupcakelover, sorry to hear you…

Goals for this week Mon - Fri: 1. Back on track with food = YES 2. Drink at least 12 cups water each day = YES 3. Run/Gym/Walk/Weights everyday = YES 4. Burn 3500 calories = 3628/3500 calories (Woohoo!) 5. Run/walk 20 miles = 25.3/20 miles (Woohoo!) 6. And I can't wait for my birthday weekend! :) So Ive done well this week…

You're sugar intake is almost always in the red...try cutting down on sugary foods as they are just empty calories... hope you start seeing more losses soon! Best of luck! :)

Thanks hun! Felling alot better now that Im back :) Ive lost an automobile tyre....Im pretty sure I couldn't even lift one of those if I tried!! haha

I love it, been with them for over 3 years. Have lost over 40lbs with them. It's just so handy you go in do the circuit 2-3 times and you're done. Plus it forces me to workout out non-stop for 30-35minutes straight whereas in any ordinary gym I would workout for 10mins and then take a break for 10mins and then workout for…

1. Definitely back on track with food today and it felt great! 2.12 cups water drank today :) 3. Run/Walk/Weights today 4. Burned 2469/3500 so far 5. Ran/Walked 19.1/20 miles so far! (Had veryyy long walk today!) 6. It's looking like Im going to be on top form for my birthday! Feeling great already! :)

Also, you look great! Congratulations on losing 30+lbs and keeping it off! :)

Here you go!

Thank you everyone! Im feeling so much better now and Ive done what was always impossible for me to do before MFP and that is not to stress over slip ups and just get back on track straight away. Im slowly flushing all that crap from the weekend out of my system and it feels brilliant! It's tough to get back into a routine…

Hi Everyone! Well Im back, exhausted. Had an amazing trip with my family and my boyfriend. Got plenty of the 'You're next' wedding talk from my aunts and uncles! haha They would do anything for a day out! :) Also got more compliments than I knew what to do with. When I met my mom and sister at the airport Thursday morning…

@Shamrock: Congrats on your measurements! 9" is a fantastic loss! You should be so proud of yourself! :drinker: And to everyone who left me messages on my profile and wished me a happy holiday and words of encouragement for staying on track....THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! I love you guys. You have made my month!…

Hi Ladies! Well Im submitting my weigh in for this week and my monthly measurements as I am jetting off to Malaga tonight and will probably be out of action on this site until next Tuesday :sad: But on a happier note I have good news! Ive lost another pound this week (well since last Friday!) so now Im 150lbs....soooooo…

6.4 miles done today (3.2 run & 3.2 walk) :smile: So that 10.1 miles between yesterday and today. Another 6.4 tomorrow and that's my goal for the week. Woohoo! Almost didn't make my big burn today. I was in town for lunch with the girls and got comfy and almost contemplated going shopping with them for the evening instead…
