My First month trying this - good luck everyone!

Hi everyone Just popping by to say hi Faye

We all feel like quitting now and again Connie! Luckily we have each other for support!! I couldn't do it without you guys ;-) Faye

I definitely think we should add "slow losers" to our misfits title ;-) If anybody wants a copy of my cycle one plan (eating and exercise) do let me know, I would be more than happy to email it over I am looking forward to starting on Monday! I plan to do a huge cook up on Sunday so I have my meals ready for the week!

It's been a few days from me guys sorry about that!! So the Chinese wedding was good but weird experience! It lacked a bit soul and love in my opinion but that may just be a reflection of the couple (don't know them that well)! It was a good experience and totally different from a western wedding! I took the plunge a…

I hope so to Shirley! I really miss my cycling and dragon boating! Marie - originally I'm from uk. Just outside London, so I'm a fair way from home right now! This Sunday I have my first Chinese wedding to attend! It's custom here to give red packets to the bride a groom rather than presents. Apparently you have to give…

Connie - I can't imagine living in a country with such extreme dangeous weather like hurricanes! I would be terrified ! Been in Singapore for 3.5 years. I always had an ambition to work and live abroad and I like hot weather. One day I was fed up in the cold waiting for a train in London (that was delayed) and thought…

Good luck for your weigh in Shirely! The haze/smog and air pollution is still bad in Singapore this morning! All outdoor activities have been stopped, which means no dragon boating for me! I am also reluctant to cycle as I don't wasn't to be breathing in all that dirty air ;-( Here's hoping we have fresh clean air soon, as…

Hi everyone Just checking in Been a training course today which meant a shorter day hours wise for me so that's good! I am thinking of signing up to a nutritionist so I can properly understand diets/foods and what's good for me! I think I need the extra accountability too! We have to submit swimwear photos which I took…

It's good that she is eating Janice - the food will give her strength and much needed nourishment! First day back at work for me today after 2 weeks off....getting up was tough!! Not best pleased when I was offered a seat on the bus as the person thought I was pregnant!! Never mind at least it shows there are still…

Shirely - I think my mum would like to be in your position by having a grandchild (or two) about the place! Thanks for your kind works and encouragement Eninad it means a lot a helps to stay motivated! The main reason for me getting into shape now is because I didn't want to look back and spend all my 30s miserable like I…

Thanks everyone! With these lovely comments 32 could be my best year! I've lost one of my 4 added pounds since I had a little break so getting back on track slowly! Connie - have you tried cycling? That is a good exercise with no pressure on the knees. Weather in Singapore is not good - although it's not so much the…

Thanks for the birthday messages! I had a great day. I spent it with close friends and just running down the clock until my parents arrived a few days later Picture below ;-)

I'm back!! Sorry chums for my MIA but September has been manic!! My parents visited for 2weeks and in that time we took them to Bali for a short break. We dropped them off at the airport last night and there was tears galore! ;-( But at least this time I know it won't be long until I see them again as I will be heading…

Hooray for Friday!!

@Eninad - stay strong for yourself and your daughter and keep up the positive thinking!

Esther - I remember my first pair of those! A cool trick my dance teacher shared with me was to wrap my toes in bubble wrap to protect them whilst I got used to the shoes, Worked a treat! Some experts say natural animal wool by I much preferred bubble wrap ;-)

That's an interesting concept Nancy! Are you doing it on your exercise bike?

Hi Gang Not much to report here today I had a good gym session today to the point my legs were wobbly and I could barely lift my arms to feed myself after! Legs and arms back to normal now! Reading about the kittens makes me want one! I am just worried that living on 19th floor it will fall off the balcony! My goodness I…

I have never thought to add cinnamon to sweet potatoe before - think I will try this next time ;-) How is everyone doing? Feeling really positive at the moment! My parents arrive in 21 days and last night I booked my flights home for Xmas!! 2 years on the trot I will be back - feeling very smiley as I type! Have a good day…

Me too Connie!!!

Thanks Marie - I cannot wait to get back to my schedule next week I will try and pick up my cycling again now our auditors will be leaving! I have set myself a mini goal by 8th Sept for when my parents arrive and that is to lose 5lbs which will put me bang on 190! Definitely do-able in 4 weeks! I will keep you posted in my…

Great news on the house Rachel - congratulations

Hey Guys I've been missing in action these past few days!! Work has been immense with auditors in and everything has gone out the window!! I had a loss at the weekend of 1lb but I think I put it on this past day as I have cooked a great home dinner that I have been craving....spagbol !! Totally worth it ;-) Auditors are…

@Eninad marvelous news !! Big congratulations to you!!!

@Eninad - traveling is one of my favorite past times - probably explains why I've been in Singapore for the past 3 and a bit years ;-) I would love to work and live in the US maybe that will be on my list next!! It will definitely be a lot nearer for family to visit Faye

How's everyone today? I'm still super busy at work with auditors! In-laws have gone home and I'm on count down to when my mum comes to visit 36 days! Faye

Hi Misfits! I'm back! Cambodia and Siem Reap was fab so much walking!!! I will hop in the scales in the morning and give you an update, but for now I need sleep as I have an action packed day at work tomorrow! Keep up the good work folks Faye

Connie - all the info you share from the trainer is fascinating! And highly logical...it's just not something I have ever really thought about before, but it definitely all makes sense

Hi everyone! I have been so busy at work this week (we have auditors in and have had to sit through a 2.5hr interrogation on Monday alone) Time has flown by! So my in-laws haven't noticed that I dropped 15lbs since I last saw them at Xmas - but that's okay I guess they are just not the types to mention (but still a little…
