This is a recipe I tried for the first time a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it (and so does hubby, so bonus!!) MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN 1lb courgettes/zucchini 2 medium sweet red peppers 4 celery sticks 1 onion 2 cloves garlic 8 sundried tomatoes 10 plum tomatoes 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp paprika 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar 2…

Woot woot! So when we set our goals, one of my goals was to run 2km nonstop. Tonight I ran 3km nonstop in 25 minutes. When I did my first 5km run back in June it took me something like 47minutes :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I'm going to post my favouritet healthy recipe shortly as that is today's task. Hope you are all…

I've already said it, but I am so proud of you for making it to the triple digit club!!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Feel free to add me - but I must confess I slip in north americanisms - I can't help it, I'm Canadian living here :)

I don't do numerical goals as my brain freaks out and I self - sabotage. I try to set exercise and nutrition related challenges instead - both of which egg on the weight loss :bigsmile:

Hello All! Well eating went down the proverbial toilet:sad: . I didn't spread my eating well and was ravenous when I got home so even after having dinner, I kept munching. No I didn't log and no I'm not going to. I've confessed here and that is good enough for me. The damn leftover lasagna kept calling my name. Biggest…

Ok so despite being the person who set the spontaneous challenge, I totally forgot about it! I've managed to get it all in except the crunches so far but I've got 40 minutes to go until bed time so hopefully I will get them done. I got 12 cups of water in. I must confess that I munched a lot on the left over lasagna...and…

spontaneous challenge today: 50 calf raise, 50 squats, 50 arm extensions, 50 push ups, 50 crunches....go!

love it!

Its Thirsty Thursday! How much water are you going to drink? Again I'm aiming for 16...hopefully I'll get there this time!

Feel free to add me. I've always been overweight. When I started I weighed 167kg at 5'6":embarassed: ....I'm now down to 114.9kg (still 5'6"...would like to find some height inches!!). :bigsmile: Its taken me two years, the last year being on MFP. This is totally do-able. Baby steps, celebrate all the little victories.

Who's bright idea was 30% protein.....???? Struggling! At 25% according to mfp on my phone but its always different then when Cynthia has told me it and I like Cynthia's calculations better!

Julie if you had been missing from the gym for a month or something I can see benng embarrassed, but a week??? No excuses. Get up, grab your gear and get out the door. I was away all of last week and have been sat, sun, tues and am on my way to a trainer session now. So up you get, GO!!

Great work and a goal that can be achieved. Isn't it nice to be successful at this! :bigsmile:

Got in 12 glasses of water today....was bursting and trying to herd kids out of the room so I could run to the loo at the end of every set of lessons but I'm impressed as I normally barely scrap 8 on a Tuesday! Tomorrow is protein day - you are aiming for 30% or more!!

Renae - I eat quaker oats - just add hot water and a splash of milk. Doesn't expand that much and super yum! Used to eat at home all the time too. Maple sugar flavoured was always my favourite. Julie: what brand was the shake - I've been toying with the idea of investing in some...? Cynthia: well done on entering a…

Doesn't work: eating back exercise calories, denying myself, coming home before the gym Works: drinking lots of water, running (seems to trigger bigger loses for me), fitting in 'treats' here and there like a square of dark chocolate, seeing my trainer once a week, weighing in each day.

Tomorrow starts week 3 of our November challenge: November 15th – 21st: NUTRITION WEEK our focus this week is food and water. Its also going to be our sharing week. Monday and Wednesday aim for 30%+ protein intake, Tuesday and Thursday is H2O days – its simple drink up!! Friday share your favourite healthy recipe.…

Hello All! Well the weekended with more wedding drama. My brother has now moved his date to May/June (still inconvenient) and is saying he wants to help everyone with the costs....he has never saved a penny in his life so somehow I don't see this happening. I have just about secured my dream location for the ceremony (the…

Its the last day of personal best week!!! What have you accomplished? What are you trying today?? I'm quite cross that my hamstrings have been playing up and I haven't been able to run. I will get this in before the end of the month.

Hi All! My journey started on January 2nd 2010 but I didn't join MFP until January 2011. SW: 368 :sad: CW: 252:happy: GW: 160 - 180 I don't ever remember being this weight so I will see how I feel when I get there.

you've done everything and that is great! Lots of this month is new for people (things from my own routine - not the calf raises though, I hate them!!) . You will master those planks! They are a challenge but I love them now - they are my show-off move at the gym :laugh:

Any chance you've reached a healthy weight and that you body is happy there? Could be why its not shifting. Good luck! :flowerforyou:

where is everyone - 3 posts since friday night???

uhm knocks on the screen frowns where is everyone??

Tried 2 new foods today: 1) dried apricots (BLECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) 2) 3 bean - salad - its okay, I'd have it again, its good for the protein so I will keep trying it.

Trying not to eat. Just had an emotional conversation with my mom about weddings and all I want to do is stuff my face. Long story long, my brother has announced he and his fiance want all of us to travel to Cuba in feb/march for their wedding. Normally this would be fine but I can't take a week off outside of holiday time…

My most interesting trip was to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso where my husband and I married (he's from there). My favourite city I think is Prague. We are off to somewhere in the Caribbean in the next year - I'm excited as that is a new location for me. As I'm a Canadian living in the UK, I've done a bit of travelling in…

scrap that^^^^^ hamstrings got so tight during zumba that I can't possibly run today :sad:

Aiming for a personal best distance today! The furthest I have run no-stop is 2.34km. I did that in 19minutes. I'm going to try and improve on the distance and if the time happens I'll be happy!!
