With the drinking during pregnancy... There is no study that proves you can't have a drink every now and then during pregnancy. You can even get hammered once or so. The problems come when you're alcohol dependent. The no drinking is a social construct in most countries. What is damaging is smoking and obviously other…

oh dear, i've been rubbish this week! too much food, next to no exercise... but i'm going to do some cycling today and tomorrow and will try and get some jillian work out in the mornings done next week. I'm struggling with eating at uni and finding time to exercise with all the work i have to do and it being dark when i…

Thank you! No worries about last week. I was a little relieved as I've been slacking. But promise to do better from tomorrow, today was a complete mess too. but that is what happens when you have visitors.... Happy challenge-ing everyone

Hey everyone, hope you had a good week and weekend. I have a real reluctance to counting these days. i know my week wasnt perfect, but basically I can't be bothered on the weekend to record all my foods. I know i'm not terribly over my limit, as I have overcome my biggest problem: sweets. I hardly eat any now, and if not…

Hi all, I'm very impressed with you sticking with the challenges, well done. I've not been well, therefore only did cycling one day last week and otherwise nothing serious and my logging was bad too. on the upside, well sort of, was my weigh in this morning, but i know it's down to me eating very little or not keeping it…

dammit, i'm sick, can't keep any food down. no idea where that suddenly comes from, at least i'm not feeling too bad, only hungry. anyways, I guess I will have to give it a couple of days and hopefully will be back to normal by friday.

How many calories does MFP give you? I read that you should definitely eat your exercise calories. I found it weird in the beginning when people struggled to eat all of them back, but now that i exercise more, i get it, especially having changed my food throughout the day to low cal and also stopped snacking to some…

hey everyone, my goal is to lose 10-15 by december and to get back to exercising more, especially running. I've not set a definite running goal, as I am waiting for my physio to ok that i run again after an injury. Otherwise, i've got all the Jillian videos and want to do one thing each day and cycle 2-3 times a week for…

Brilliant, I was just looking to start a new challenge too :) I'm 5'7", currently ca 140lbs and want to get down to 128, so my plan is 12lbs in 12 weeks, which will take me to just before xmas. What do you guys do for exercise? I did 30DS in july/aug, but now had a month "off" as i was on holidays and had too much going on…

oh not so well, been on holiday at home (germany) for a week and gained a kilo. i didnt count, didnt exercise as my foot is hurting again and just enjoyed myself... even worse (diet-wise, otherwise great) i'm going on another trip on friday for 10 days. where i will also not be able or willing to count. I know, probably…

well done! I had to stop with just 5 days to go. also not counting as I am on holidays. But i was completely set on doing 30ds a few times this week, despite being away, but now my foot hurts again :( Good luck with the half marathon training.

yes please, I'd like a twin too. CW 139 GW 127ish height 5'8" (173cm) age: 29 Oh it's all in my signature :tongue:

@ ardeornellis: exactly thesame here, I do jump rope the first round and then star jumps the second :)

How can you not like it? think about the meal or extra piece of chocolate (or fruit) you can eat while you're doing it. Or how that top, that's a bit tight will look better in 4 weeks time :happy: Otherwise, I always congratulate myself for the little achievements, being able to walk that bit further or faster, or doing a…

great thread, i'll be done with 30DS next week. I also do C25K and then cycle or Jillian's Banish fat boost metabolism. which is hard, but good. Planning on getting ripped in 30 and the six pack one too, just to have something quick to do in the mornings, for some extra calories :)

yeah I went to the black star, De la Soul and Rakim gig here (London UK). it was great, even tho we missed Rakim as he was so unfashionably early, which never happens at hip hop gigs. Also going to Random Axe and rhymesayers later this year... :)

going to see the roots on Fri, was gonna see q-tip next week but he cancelled :(

yay, hip hop heads losing weight :) Marathon, Dilated, best running song!

also in London, east and soon back at uni in central.

I'm still here, also missed a few days, but did L3D4 today. I'm going on holiday on Sat, so not sure I get the last few days done. What is everyone doing afterwards? the next Jillian challenge?

I'm in. I'm going back to uni end of Sep and would like to be closer to my goal weight by then. I'm starting to slip, been over my allowance the last few days and have a couple of holidays coming up (before being poor and serious again), so I'm a little worried. I don't even aim to lose during the hols, but don't want to…

I planned on once a week, but then been doing it around every 5 days. I only have the wii for scales, which is good, because I can't be bothered to switch it on every day just for that.

Hamburg, Germany but living in London, UK

Did L3D4 today, after not doing DS on Fri or Sun, I did do other exercise. But I'm starting to get bored, even though it is exhausting and i can feel my muscles every day, I'd like to start something new.

I did L3D3 today and I found L2 harder. L3 is hard, but the jump from 2 to 3 wasn't as big as from 1 to 2 I think. Good luck with L3. We're almost there!

my hip bones are re-appearing :)

you are supposed to eat back you're exercise calories because MFP puts you an a deficit of 500 anyway, which should lose you the weight. I have now come to the point where I get to around 500 exercise calories a day, which I do eat. sometimes by just a bigger portion at dinner or some extra chocolate (which is probably not…
