@jdelaroy - thank you! Deep breath taken, calming thoughts made! I've bought myself some Emergen C so will run with that for a bit and give myself a boost. I know that I do need to make time for myself at the weekends - I think that I beat myself up because I work full time and therefore want to do as much as I possibly…

Morning all and be warned - this is a bit of a whinge! But also a request for advice :) I'm tired, I'm run down and I lack energy. It's 10:13 on Monday morning and I'm just drained and over the week already! I've got a cough that just won't go away - something to do with my young one bringing every joyful bug and lurgy…

@projectjen - welcome back! @wishfuljune - welcome, sounds like you've got a good plan in place. Would certainly be interested in when either the Hogwarts or LoTR challenges are open again ;) @jdelaroy - hope you are feeling better. Well done on the NSV - it's amazing the changes we make. So having lost the plot big time…

@health_guard - agree you can't make a teenager do stuff but I would try and encourage her to get involved with you and your mum - both with making nice food and getting her involved in the activity. If you make it a social thing she might find she's involved and enjoying it before she knows it! And beyond that, set her a…

@MeinProgress - well done for getting that run in and helping to beat the stress! @ruejue - welcome to the thread :) @shycush - sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday. Hope the crafting is going well and enjoy your busy weekend! @bluepoppies777 - sounds like you are really back on track, well done for sticking with it.…

@ngolden3320 - sounds like a very busy day - hope it was enjoyable for all the hard work! @ShyCush6 - hope you have fun with the kayaking and that you make good progress with your craft work - it's so hard to find the time to do this kind of thing but so worth it when it does happen. @bluepoppies777 - good luck with the…

I'm in - need something positive like this to get me started again! My starting weight: 133.2 01/08/2016: 08/08/2016: 15/08/2016: 22/08/2016: 29/08/2016: 05/09/2016: 12/09/2016: 19/09/2016: 26/09/2016: 03/10/2016: 10/10/2016: 17/10/2016: 24/10/2016: 31/10/2016: Weight loss for the week: Goal weight loss for total…

How am I doing with my target? Well, ashamed to say I've had something of an embarrassing fail - having set my target, I failed to note my starting weight :blush: . so here goes - a week late: Starting weight: 133.2 Goal: 10lbs lost by December 2nd Feeling a little foolish! Will be back later to catch up properly.

Sent you a friend request - wife and mum, turned 40 a month ago and finding it all a lot easier with friends :)

@FitEqualsSmile - well done on the pancake restraint, they sound delicious and very hard to avoid - great NSV! @jdelaroy - hang in there, it sounds like you have done so much of the packing already and the last couple of rooms are always the hardest as you start to lose the will to do it. But just think of the workout that…

@Rachel0778 - we've not had the social whirl of activity to the level that you have but we've still had a really busy (for us) string of weekends. This was the first one that we've been able to slow down a bit and it was so nice - I think it's really important that we all find a weekend for us once in a while. Ok - I'm in…

@spyro88 - sent you a friend request :). I'm in Burgess Hill so not that far from you! @BreannaB823 - sent you a friend request!

Morning all - it's very quiet on here, hopefully that means we have had good weekends! @health_guard - congrats on the loss. Sounds like fun with the dogs and the pond although I thought all dogs liked getting wet - clearly not! I like your plan of getting the workout in first thing in the morning - now if I can just kick…

Picture of the blanket so far - slow progress but really pleased with it so far!

@health_guard - that chorizo sounds delicious, shall have to try and make some of my own. Processed food is one of my targets (reduction of that is!) as I'm noticing more how I don't feel good after I eat it - we home cook most of our meals but lunchtimes at work are my downfall and then I feel so sluggish afterwards. I'm…

morning all - still here, still bumbling along wondering why I can't get my act together with this game! @jdelaroy - love the NSV idea. Not sure what mine is at the moment - think I will set myslef a target one today of getting my water consumption in (2 glasses down so far)- will report back on progress or lack of it!…

@ngolden3320 - ha, I'm with you in some ways. I definitely got the baking gene from my grandmother - but the sewing gene, not sure despite my current project. My aim is not too get too stressed about it being perfect, if there is a stitch out here and there it doesn't matter - he won't notice and it's the thought that…

@rachel0778 - the singalong event was 'interesting' - really not my cup of tea and so cheesy as to be almost unbearable but my boss enjoyed himself which was the main thing!! Sounds like you did brlliantly at the conference - lots of great ways to make something positive out of it all. @ngolden3320 - you've had a hard June…

Hi - mum to a 1.5 year old boy - a constantly moving bundle of mischief and fun - coupled with fairly regular tantrums!!! I've just turned 40 and have approximately 15lbs to shift. Desperately looking for my lost motivation at the moment - feel free to add me!

so I've been to the Pizza Express website and chosen my meal in advance off their lighter menu!

hey guys - thank you for all your kind and supporting words :). I think my 'blah' feeling is a wider malaise at the moment - I'm bored out of my wits at work and can't be bothered, which drives me to snack more - and hey, I lose track of my logging. Then I think - 'oh well, I've lost the day - try again tomorrow'. And so…

hi guys - sorry, i've been quiet, still here and desperately trying to kick my butt into gear with this whole healthy eating and weight loss game - I continue to feel a bit 'blah' about it all and I don't know why :(. Hope the day treats us all well.

well - what a lousy week it seems to be turning into! Nicole - so sorry and hope that everything stabilises a bit for you and your family - you certainly deserve it after all you've been through. Jen - so sorry to hear about your husband. I hope that he will come round to the idea of some counselling and at least give it a…

ah Monday morning and a desperate quest to get back on the wagon after a complete fail of a weekend! Don't get me wrong, it was a nice one but it didn't hit many targets for healthy eating and weight loss (the box of Lindt Chocolate Orange balls purchased for my husband on behalf of my little boy - Fathers Day :) - did not…

welcome @HappyHannah0304 - come back often and talk, we're a good bunch!

@chasidee90 - way to go, that's a great result. @CariTJR - good move, did you get to running club last night? @rachel0778 - lousy weather! You are right - one of the benefits of renting is just being able to hand all that sort of stuff to the landlord and say to them 'your house, your problem'!. Good for you with the 6…

@caritjr - to be fair, that's what always gets me down about resetting, it doesn't give you enough of an increase in calories to feel worth the pain! I'd forgotten about that!! Boo hiss about the fitbit - I've had terrible trouble syncing mine in the last week so I'm not sure how accurate my stats are. I need to keep…

@rachel0778 - sounds like you got a sound plan for the month that is realistic. We also ate too much on holiday but did tons of walking in the forest and when we went to visit places so I'm happy that it all evened out in the end. Not particularly got going with my coaching stuff yet but I have one of the main books in my…

Happy Monday all - I've been back at work about 10 minutes and already starting to think when our next break should be - not good! Hope the day treats you well :)

@ngolden3320 - so sorry to hear about your dad. Take care of yourself.
