Gidday from Australia - I have been using MFP now for approx 6 mths and have lost 49lb. Will be over your way in 8 weeks getting all my exercise at WDW (can't wait). Keep up the good work :)

I use iMapMyWalk+ in addition to MFP - the two are all I find I need to keep me on track :)

I personally wouldn't worry about it - if you are under today - tomorrow you might go over and it will even itself out. 1200 cals is what MFP have been telling me to eat for a couple of months now (I started on 1380 I think) - and some days I don't make the 1200 either. Don't stress over it, that could possibly make you…

Well done. I too am trying to lose my weight for a Disneyworld vacation in December :)

Short answer - YES!!!!!! I have only been doing the Wii (plus some walking) and have now lost just over 20kg in 4 months - and of course watching what I eat with the help of the MFP app on my iPhone I use several Wii "games" - Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus, Michelle Michaels, several yoga/pilates ones too (sorry without being near…

I cut out Pepsi and now have the same problem - a can can take me ages to drink. During summer I don't have a problem drinking water but now that the weather is cooler I find the last thing I want to drink is water - I do drink at least 3-4 cups of green tea a day and that can count towards the water, so problem solved…

I totally agree - some days I'm team more and sometimes team less - however I find I am probably more consistantly TEAM LESS :drinker: I too like to exercise because I want to and find walking way more enjoyable than running - although I do speed walk which for me is only just slightly slower than I can run anyway :laugh:

Have decided I prefer walking to running (I can do it faster and for way longer) - so have changed to doing the iMapMyWalk app on my iPhone. Where I have normally been doing about 3 km (1.7mi) in 31 minutes today I did 4.5km in 50 mins instead. Felt heaps better after it and am well and truly looking forward to the day off…

I set it up sooo long ago when we first got the Wii Speak - I believe it was part of that, my daughter plays Animal Crossing with a friend and they talk to each other through the whole game (over the tv) - there is a little bit of lag but it sounds just like 2 teenage girls talking in the lounge but louder :ohwell:

Bejewelled Blitz is another one - I love the logic and puzzle games, there's heaps of them online

You can link with your friends if you have each others friend codes and you can even talk to them (like a tv phone LOL) if you have Wii Speak (I think it's called) - but as far as playing together not sure, you can in Animal Crossing and Mario for sure but not sure about anything else

Winter definately has it's challenges - pies, stews, warm puddings YUMMO!!!! not to mention it is soooo hard to get out of bed and out of the house to exercise :cry: Then again summer you have ice-blocks, ice-creams I suppose. :embarassed: But for me definately winter is the worst. :sad:

[/quote] I'm not sure about the Osborne lights I've never seen them but they sound cool! Yea it wasn't the best song to run to I have to check the playlist before I start next time :laugh: Congrats on finishing your first day, you'll be able to run all the run parts in no time! Do you do your Wii exercisies with the WiiFit…

W1D2 done - speed walked the majority of the runs though - went a different direction today and man was it hilly, couldn't have jogged if I'd tried :ohwell: but I did speed walk instead so probably just as fast as my jog anyway :blushing:

I just use normal frozen veges and cook them in the microwave - cheaper than the specially packaged ones. No problem with just eating the veges as a meal but you need to get some protein in your other meals. Gotta love those veges :love: Lean Cuisine - I agree YUK and such a waste of money :angry:

Love the music selection - Is that the Xmas song they use at Disney for the Osborne Lights - its great - but don't know about running to it :tongue: All the other would have kept you motivated though. Last time I ran I clicked on shuffle and ended up listening to a mix of country and rock, definately different :blushing: I…

OOh I'm first - possible because I'm in Australia and it is already Jun 6 here :wink: Completed W1D1 - again :laugh: - 1.7mi in 31 minutes - didn't feel too bad, but then I actually power walked 3 of the run stints - which is probably as fast I can run anyway :cry: - mind you I only did it on the hilly bits - shins felt…

Geez just as well I looked at this site today - I had totally forgotten about this starting tomorrow (despite writing it on my calendar :ohwell:

Wish my scales would do that :flowerforyou: I'm with everyone else - take the 2 lbs and celebrate :drinker:

I'd be in too except for a totally different reason, it is winter here now and getting rather cold so need to try to stay away from the hot pies, stews and warming desserts :sad: Would you believe I am trying to lose as much weight as possible before going to the USA in Nov/Dec and going through their winter also - oh well…

This will work great for me, started doing it a couple of weeks ago and kinda died - have spent the past 2 weeks working my way up with walk/speed walk stints, so by June 6 should be ready to begin the running again (I hope) - so I'm in :flowerforyou:

Low fat cottage cheese with gherkin relish mixed through - serve on some multigrain crackers YUMMO!!!!

I'm with you , I am worried about any flabby bits - I think it depends on age, how long the skin has been stretched too. My biggest concern is my tummy too. After two kids (one a caesar) it has been all stretched out of shape from when it used to be extremely flat in my 20's, and has been getting bigger progressively over…

OK so I drank my second full cup today (with 1/2 tsp raw sugar in) - third really but won't count the first one I spat out and poured down the sink :blushing: Figure if I keep drinking it with the sugar just slowly reducing the amount I might actually get to drink it without (well that's the idea anyway :ohwell: )

Mine is a nickname I have had for a LOOOOONGG time (plus my yr of birth) - not very creative, sorry :drinker:

Wow never thought of this, might try that too, trick the hubby into having some too. :drinker: Hubby has been told by doctor to try green tea and also fish oil tablets (he doesn't drink tea only coffee and hates seafood with a passion) :heart:

OK just tried another cup with my lunch - brewed it in a glass mug this time, added some cooled water after a minute or so and then 1/2 tsp of raw sugar - not as bad as yesterday. Will try again later and see if my taste buds were just off this time or not LOL

OK I have proven I CAN walk faster than I can run :flowerforyou: Repeated W1D2 yesterday just to walk longer and faster than I attempted to do the running last week :laugh: So think I will stick with the walk/speed walk stints for a couple more weeks and until I drop a litle more weight to feel comfortable enough to…

Ipswich in Sth East QLD, Australia - although it is much drier now than it was a couple of months ago :ohwell: How are you fellow ANZAC :flowerforyou:

I was wondering the exact same thing - bought some the other day but only got around to trying it today - all I can say is YUK YUK YUK!!!! - smelled like warm pee or dishwater and tasted almost as bad. I usually drink Irish Breakfast tea with a very minute dribble of milk and 2 level tsp of raw sugar. Although I usually…
