I've been a veggie for 23 years!! Since I was 13 years old. As I am on MFP I think it is clear that being veggie does not always mean healthy! My meals are far better and healthier than most of my friends, but if you're eating chocolate and crisps and cakes on top of your healthy meals (most of which are veggie so why…

Hahaha, you're mad....love the enthusiasm though!!!

Welcome Heather!!! No worries about going away, just do as much of it as you can! :)

One week today we start this.....hope you're all looking forward to it??? Lets make it fun! :happy:

No calories or fat? Deffo pizza....my downfall. Apparently there is a company called Naked Pizza just opened here which makes pizza's with the absolute minimum fat and calories.....oh oh!!!!!

I keep seeing people with these before and after weight graphics (your profile pic)....where do you get them from?? haha

Me too, it's ridiculous...don't know when I last went on facebook either, haha! But if this is keeping us all motivated and away from the biscuit barrel...where's the harm????

No worries, join us when you can! :) So chuffed there are so many of us here...thought it might just be one or two!!

WOW, that website looks awesome!

I will remind you, don't worry, haha

Great article!!

Ha....I'll remind you.....just need someone to remind me!!! Only kidding Welcome!! :happy:

Hey Tammi It's up to you to do whatever you think you can challenge yourself with. So if you go to Zumba and only do the same amount each class (sorry, Zumba virgin so no idea what happens, haha) then maybe upping your additional exercises over and above that. For example if you walk over and above your zumba then maybe…

You absolutely have to take rest days! I usually work out 5 days a week and take 2 days rest, but not together. I really don't want anyone burning out here, hahaha! Rest days are as important as exercise days to let your muscles heal...apparently they burn more calories then too!! Bonus..woohoo!! :)

Awesome, loving everyone's enthusiasm for this. Also doing this will beat any plateaus if there is a change each day, double bonus!!! :)

How about I start a new thread now called The October Challenge and everyone that wants to join in to this particular challenge that I suggested earlier is more than welcome to join us?? If anyone wants to do spin off challenges that's fine too. Yaay! At least there will be a few of us :) Add me as a friend and then you…

I don't want to make this a challenge that excludes anyone and we all have different levels of activity and ability so how about starting 1st October we all come back and and state what our workout is, how many calories you have burned, and each day you have to burn more than you did the day before? Even if it's just by…

Yup me too! I know that a Friday is off day and I usually exercise in the morning and find I have more energy then so usually burn more calories. I try staying away from cocktails and stick to Vodka and diet 7up...then I can have more! Nothing wrong with having a treat at all...all you goody two shoes!!! As long as you are…

I LOVE my boobs, so does my hubby and if they disappear to little deflated balloons when I lose my weight, I am so getting a boob job! Don't care what anyone else thinks.(unless I chicken out!) Got to be each person's decision to do whatever they want. If I could afford it now and I wasn't such a scaredy cat I would prob…

Add me if you like, more friends the more motivation you will get. Enjoy :bigsmile:

Before: Breakfast - Either nothing, or toast with butter and marmalade/ croissants at the weekend Lunch - Sandwich with cheese/relish/mayo/salad, packet of crisps, cereal bar or Tomato tart (large puff pastry base with tomatoes and oil and basil) Dinner - Out a lot so, penne arrabiata with lots of bread, pizzas, curry's,…

I agree, that is what I do too. I come home, have a banana or a couple of mcvities rich tea biscuits, have my workout and then I'm so ready for my dinner after! I've tried eating before my workout but it makes me sluggish. :smile:

Not sure where you live but if you go onto www.shopstyle.com they are a one-stop-shop for all kinds of stores both in the UK and USA, they also ship all over the world. I'm a personal stylist and I use it ALL THE TIME! Even if it's just to get an idea for a client. They have hundreds of pages of dresses and you can input…

I'm so glad you posted that article, I was losing weight until I kept getting told that I needed to eat back all my exercise calories or else!!!! Apart from finding that really hard, considering I was in a routine of eating better food and not so much of it, I spent days trying to eat back my calories and my weight went up…

Ah ha!! I knew it. I do not lose weight when I eat back all my calories, despite what people tell me!

Please don't!! I tried hypnotherapy a couple of years ago for weight loss. I went every Saturday without fail for about 2 months, costing the equivalent of about 175 NZD per session!! I came out feeling relaxed and lovely, but that was because I had been lying in a chair with a blanket over me and my eyes closed for an…

Hi Linda Feel free to add me...I need a good butt kicking sometimes too. Like the person who posted last said, an open diary is tough to agree to but i've done it and there's no hiding now. It's easy to still enjoy a night out. I tend now to stay away from the cocktails and go for vodka and diet lemonade....then I can have…

Sounds like we are pretty much an organised bunch!! Sometimes I don't stick to it exactly either and have to edit throughout the day but I find the rough guidelines a huge help! :)

Haha! Me too..sometimes if I know I am having a night out on a Friday (which I have reduced to once or twice a month now until I break the back of this) then I work out a few days in advance how many calories I have to lose so that I can have a couple of drinks (or cocktails if I'm very good!) Or if we have friends coming…

I'm in a similar situation, add me if you like :) and good luck!!!!
