Ha no not at all :D If I could I'd change the title to OUR Accountability Thread. When I started this there wasn't anyone else posting in here for weeks (months?) so I didn't expect anyone to join me. But it's great you have.

Welcome aboard VeryKatie :) Ooo a 5K run good luck, you'll love it, well... you'll love the feeling afterwards at least lol. It'll be nice to have another person doing this and comparing notes (if you wish). :) It's nice to see what other people struggle with (like those romanian deadlifts, - damn hard to keep correct form…

Great stuff - I think I'll do W2D2 tomorrow, W2D3 on Saturday and then I might go to the gym on Sunday for aquacise... (My rest days are now Tuesdays). Will keep you informed!

WOW!! :D

Yea I know what you mean, when I've tried to do the Elliptical trainer after a legs day they've been like stone! Hope they aren't too sore today!

Yea I noticed the Let Me Ins worked my quads - I don't think it was bad form, I mean you are squatting and supporting your body via your legs. :)

Wow and what a great start it is!! Well done! I'm not due to do this until Friday/The weekend. Tonight I'm off swimming, tomorrow I've got my gym induction so I might do it on Friday. :) The dreaded legs day lol.

Oh that sounds like you'll get lots of time in the water :) Great stuff. I'm just trying to decide what sort of getting wet I want to do tomorrow.... Either swimming or Aquacise, depending on if I can find enough to keep me busy at work until it starts. :)

So who's been wet yet? 02.09 - 60 mins - swimming Total time for September: 1 hrs Total time left: 11 hrs It was bliss being in the water after work. Aaaaah

Lol you just have to keep running slightly faster than she can and she'll soon give up. When I used to run, I thought it'd be nice to run together, have a chat while we were running but by the end I *HATED* running with my husband cause he always pushed me further and harder than I wanted to run (he is nearly a foot taller…

Thank you for starting this again and I'm In again. Fingers crossed I'll reach my goal this month (I did in August but mainly because I only wanted to lose 3lbs due to two mini-breaks I had). SW: (Starting weight) 12st5.5 or 173.5lbs CW: (Current weight) 10st6 or 146lbs GW: (Goal weight for the month) 10st1 or 141lbs Weigh…

So have some, just make sure it's in moderation and it fits your macros. Perhaps instead of having a massive sandwich with normal bread, you could have some luxury flavoured bread and have less of it. :) that's what I've been doing with my fave foods, quality over quantity. Like chocolate, pre mfp I'd never have bought…

Totally agree!

Firstly, you do *not* need to apologise to me or anyone. :) I was only meaning to show you how negative you sound/harsh you are towards yourself. :) You should have more confidence. Okay I admit that is not easy to gain, you can't just flick a switch and magically be more confident - but it is something you should try to…

*THIS* Did you realise, onmyown70, that you have used the word 'normal' 5 times on this thread? Ask yourself what is 'normal'? "Conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected". We could argue that based on the replies you've had here that *you* are the normal one and your guests are the abnormal ones. Seriously -…

I'm not a runner (haven't ran for a few years) so can't really help there but the thing that cropped up in my mind was... did you drink enough to replace all the water you lost? Did you manage to stay sufficiently hydrated? Could the super loss be partly due to being dehydrated? Regardless though - a great big well done on…

From what I can see we are all smaller now than at the start of August so even if we didn't reach our goals we've still done great!! :D Well done everyone!! :D

:) You're welcome.
