I wasn't eating mine back and I reached a plateau, but as soon as I started eating back my exercise cals it kick started me in to losing again, I have since lost 10lbs. I don't always eat ALL of them back, I probably manage about 70% of the cals that MFP gives me for the exercise I have done. Good luck and Congrats for the…

I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 15 (24 years ago) although it was never really explained to me and I never really understood the link between that and all of my other issues. I have struggled with my weight all of my life, I've not always been big, as a teen I would starve myself to "keep skinny" and often made myself…

I'm in Worcestershire, feel free to add me... I also spent 10 years in the US, so if you have any recipe questions I am happy to "translate" for you :)

Sorry guys I had to have a rest day yesterday, not feeling 100% so I'm gonna have to take it easy this week, but will be back at it in time for Saturday I hope.

Marmitegirly2 has updated her cals for the week, which means there is a change to the forfeit winner... Marmitegirly2's total cal burn was 1446, which puts her in 13th place, making Charlottekd the lucky forfeit winner!!!! Charlotte I will email you the code for that image.

I'm interested to get some ideas too, I'm stuck on beans and cheese, or tuna mayo

Bump!

You had an awesome burn! 5000 calories is something to be really proud of. There are so many reasons why we gain a pound/lose a pound, I'm sure the next time you weigh in you will have lost it. :)

HAPPY MONDAY shipmates... I have been tasked with announcing the results of the mini challenge from last week, and the forfeit that the person with the lowest calorie burn has to do :) The totals for the week are: 1. ClareB1974 7476 2. caligirl2802 5702 3. Kate_UK 4955 4. Chilliaddict 4754 5. Sarah_uk 4491 6.…

I low-balled my prediction, I was planning to use Sunday as my rest day as I will probably hit it hard today and tomorrow...

Love this part... it is so true, when I'm feeling anxious or troubled I take my shoes and socks off and go stand outside in the grass, or under a tree if I can find one to ground myself again.

Wow... well done... what an inspiration!!! You must feel so good in yourself too.

I tried to take your advice and have a rest day but couldn't do it, so I just did weights at the gym and took it relatively easy so that today I will be ready for a good burn. I'm going to try a self imposed rest day on Sunday with maybe just a light walk around the lake with the family. Does anyone else get cranky if they…

Good morning, welcome and good luck!!! Feel free to add me. Support is the key to weight loss for sure, I have found this website and the people I have added as friends to be a great support system!

Thanks to everyone, it really does make such a difference when you have a good support system :)

LOVED the Captains Log!!! Thanks for the update :)

I'm only logging extra exercise, and my walks to work every day which I do as part of my exercise routine. Oh and gardening as thats not something I do every day.

LOL.... I think I have a pretty good forfeit too, I know I'm sure gonna enjoy seeing it play out (that is hoping I'm not the lowest burner)

OK so the mini challenge is..... that the person with the lowest total amount of calories burned this week will have to perform a FORFEIT... the calories will be counted for Monday 04/07 thru Sunday 10/07... the forfeit will be announced on Monday 11/07 Good luck and happy rowing!! :)

I agree!!! Hope your boy gets better soon :)

Wooohoooo Friday's are my big calorie burn day... I'll try and up it as much as I can :)

Oooh I like the forfeit idea... I'm gonna give it some thought and let ya know.... I don't want it to be too "bad" though, I don't wanna get thrown overboard :)

LMAO @ vladikavkaz... my signature doesn't allow me hardly any space, I barely get the code in for my two tickers and the logo :)

I made a quick logo, its on my signature. I am happy to make any changes to it all feedback is appreciated. If you want it in your signature the code is: To make it work once you have copied and pasted it, change the IMG to img on both ends

YAY... I put my cals in...thanks Leila!! I have noticed that a bunch of people have little "logos" for their teams... I can put one together on my lunch break today... any thoughts on this????

The Room Eat Pray Love The Stars Tennis Balls All of which were books I couldn't put down!

Thats exactly how I started... I took my speed down to 7.0 and started with trying to run 0.5 mile then walk 1 mile at 6.0... I've gradually built it up so that now I can run a full mile without stopping, walk 0.5 mile, and alternate that. I've gradually increased my walking speed to 6.4 and my running speed to 7.5....…

I'm going for a big start, because I have 2 hours of karate training tonight which is about 1600 calories. Tomorrow morning I will go to the gym, but its my day for weights, so what do we enter for calories burned??? I notice that if we enter that in to the strength training it doesn't give you any cals burned...

Welcome... I'm from the UK (midlands).. this site can be a huge help for support and motivation.... friend request coming your way :)
