Monday work out done Drinks - water and 1 black coffee Tuesday - fail. Didn't do work out and had a glass of wine (I was out for dinner with work and didn't really think when offered wine and then got in too late to do the exercises) 1. You're the size of an ant... what are you going to do? be very afraid 2. If you had a…

bump - just got a new slow cooker and will definitely be trying out some of these recipes.

I'm a 36G and I run fine. I went to a specialist bra shop to get fitted for a good sports bra and it seems to do the trick. I do find it hard to run downhill even with a sports bra because it's a harsher impact on my boobs, but I've adapted my routes to run mainly on the flat, or so that the downhill is in my rest bit and…

I ended up going away again this weekend so didn't do the exercises. I was under on sodium though. I really need to get back on track properly. It's been such a busy time at the moment though, and I'm off on holiday next week so need a lot of will power then. We're surfing though so i should be ale to burn off any extra i…

Thursday check in: under sodium Didn't manage to do the exercises. I was about to start when my friend popped round and by the time she'd left it was quite late so I just went to bed. Will tack some of them on to today's exercises.

Hi, I'm from the UK and would love to help support you :smile: Feel free to add me.

Wednesday check in: Under in sodium Exercise: I did 90 minutes of ballet (was supposed to be 60, but my class ran over) and I walked for 30 minutes, so I did 2 hours yesterday. Good day to have free choice as I don't think my body would have taken much more after ballet. It may look graceful, but that is one grueling…

I wonder the same thing! Avacado is one of my favourite foods! I could literally eat the whole thing in one sitting (and often do) I get through it by thinking well, it's got calories, but it's still way better for me than a Mars bar. Tuesday - exercises done Under sodium, although I don't think the food log is counting…

Hi all, I'm back from a very lovely weekend away where I definitely ate too much (I had my first chippy tea in ages and went out for breakfast each day, though we did LOTS of walking so hoping the effect won't be too bad) Still going to work extra hard this week. I didn't do the exercises yesterday as we got back late, but…

Thursday check in: Didn't manage the exercises, but will try and add them to todays. F/V: mango juice 1, cherry tomatoes 1, lettuce 1, sweet potato 1, peppers 1, courgette 1 = 6 I'll check in with today's exercises & f/v later. I won't be around to check in this weekend though - off to Edinburgh for the fringe festival &…

Wow! you all look amazing. Definitely inspired me to keep at it. Can't wait until I have my "after" pictures. Keep up the good work everyone :happy:

Wednesday check in: Exercises: didn't do the push up row or the burpees (did some jumping jacks instead though :smile: ) due to shoulder, but did the rest. Cannot wait for this shoulder to get better so i can do things properly. F/V: mango juice 1, lettuce 1, sweet potato mash 1, courgette 1, mixed peppers 1, cherry…

Do sweet potatoes count towards your five a day? I thought they did, but not 100% sure. Thanks :D

Tuesday check in Exercises done. Someone remind me not to plan a bike ride for the same day we do leg exercises though. ouch! haha F/V: mango juice, 1, bean salad 1, lettuce 1, grapes 1, sweet potato and red pepper soup 2 = 6

Hi, Monday Check in: I was out all yesterday so I didn't manage to do the exercises. F/V = Mango juice, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks and grapes = 5

I keep packages of cous cous at work and then make them up for dinner when I need them. Just add boiling water and leave for 5 mins and it's ready = yummy dinner that's low in fat. Or maybe keep tins of soup there and heat those up? If you don't like tins make your own and take it in a flask. It should keep warm til dinner…

Hi. Well done to all of you who've done really well in the challenges. I only did part of the Saturday challenge. I can't really do the plank at the moment because of a shoulder injury - I find it puts too much pressure on it so I left that. Did the others though. Water challenge done. Sunday weigh in 205 = 2lb lost. Very…

Check in. Well done to you all for doing the challenges,. Thursday challenge: I didn't post for yesterday but I did the exercises (but not the shoulder press because of a past injury) I usually drink 3 liters of water anyway so water challenge is fine. Friday challenge: exercise: Done (after a lot of effort. My abs are…

Me 1 LNS 1 Big problem for me, especially when my husband's working nights. I've got much better, reducing the amount I eat when I snack, but would love to stop altogether.

You look great! Your abs are fantastic! Brilliant, and the fact you've done it around a busy life gives me great inspiration! Well done!

hi all 1- What is your real name? Mags 2- What would you like to get from this team? Encouragement & hopefully some great friends :D 3 - What is your goal for the month? Does not have to be weight related.; To lose 10lb and try to exercise 5 times a week 4- What is your goal for this (short) week? To complete the exercises…

Try measuring yourself too. I started to put weight on when I increased my exercise/weights but I was still losing inches round my waist. If you've upped your weights etc then this could lead to a temporary increase in weight as you build muscle.

I went out for dinner last week and got the low-calorie option and enjoyed it more than I would enjoyed the calorie laden options i usually go for. I think the smugness of making a wise choice adds a lovely bit of extra flavor to your food! :smile:

Hi, Thanks for being captain. i wasn't brave enough to put myself forward to be one :happy: I'm Mags and I'm really excited about this - I need motivation at the moment! I'll post my measurements etc when I get home from work, but just popped in to say "hi" for now. Let's do this!

I usually have 2./3 lots of fruit (apple, banana, grapes) and then eat veg instead to keep sugar down. Sometimes I'll put dried fruit on my cereal, but not that often as they are high in sugar I love carrot/celery/cucumber/bell pepper with humous for lunch.

Bump. I love all these ideas - starting to grow my own so it's great to see so many ways I can use them :)
