Fireworks at the ready: It's the January Accountability & Weigh-In
Happy New Year lovely ladies! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Or, as the one card from a distributor said: Happy Everything! I gave up eating healthily, weighing in and logging; I didn't intend to but soon realised that I had to give in. I just enjoyed the bad foods and the alcohol and the fact that…

October Accountability & Weigh In
Hello October, hello multi-coloured trees & darker days (for those of us in the northern hemisphere)! For what it’s worth, it makes going to the gym a lot easier in the evenings! So far the thing that has stood out throughout the September thread (I am conscious we still have three days left) is that, despite a lot of bad…

August Accountability and Weigh-In
Aaaaaaaand we're back! Come join us this August for some much needed support and accountability! We're a friendly bunch and new people keep joining which is fab! Back from the hen weekend.

Newbie 5k runner
Hi Everyone! I am an almost C25K graduate (completed W8D2 yesterday) but am already running 5k now by running the warm up and cool down. So far my best time is 36:37 and I am using Strava to track my progress. At the moment I run the two apps together as I want to be able to say I completed the programme. I never thought I…

HW: 183lbs SW July: 170.6lbs (last June weigh in) Ultimate goal: Around 160lbs - which I would like to reach by…

Strava
Is anyone else using Strava? I started using Strava in wk 7, and run it alongside the C25K app on my phone (I run the warm up and cool down). I have found that it more accurately logs distance vs time, and gives you an average pace for your run as well as a pace per km. It also records elevation and interval times. So…

Peanut Butter and Banana Overnight Oats. Oh. My. God.
domesticate-me.com/vegan-peanut-butter-and-banana-overnight-oats/ It's *kitten* divine! I used an organic, free from palm oil, non-creamy peanut butter, and an overripe banana (the kind that's normally only good for banana bread). It is rather heavy on the calories. I weighed everything (after measuring in the cups) and…

June Accountability and Weigh-In
Time for a June Accountability and Weigh-In thread. In May @bringbackthejoy reached her ultimate goal weight. Amazing result and very motivating for the rest of us! I’ve ended May slightly better than I had hoped (revised goal), at 173lbs. I have been struggling a bit setting my June goals appropriately, because I have to…

Bargain alert on Women's trainer socks at Tesco: £0.04
Total bargain alert! Women's trainer socks at Tesco - 2 pack. They cost me £0.04 per pack at my nearest store. I called the self service till girl over to check as I love a bargain, but £0.04 for something normally £5 seemed too good to be true. Apparently not, they are last season (really? Fashion trainer socks?) and the…

Talk to me about C25K - considering starting this challenge
I'm seriously considering starting this on Tuesday alongside my gym based training (mostly strength, some circuit/cardio) because my cardio levels are so utterly rubbish. I plan to do it on days that I also go the gym so that I keep rest days in between. A run before work in the morning, and then gym in the evening. Do you…

Noob here!
Hi All, just joined this group in the hope to find some like minded people here. I'm Rianne, 31, from Berkshire in the UK. I am 5'10" (1.78m) and currently weigh 179.4lbs (81.4kg). I enlisted the help of a PT 2 months ago (when I was about 183lbs) to try and tone up and lose fat. My BMI is slightly high (25.68) but I am…

UK/EU Based MFP friends thread, anyone?
31, F, Berkshire, UK. In the gym 4-5 days a week, MFP food diary is my guide rather than my bible. Looking to drop 1-2 dress sizes and tone up. I'd like to say I want to lose a stone and a half (approx. 10kg), but given that I have more muscle now than ever before I have realised that the number on the scales matters not…

Trying to develop some sense of willpower
Hi fellow MFPers, Per the title. I fell of the wagon this Easter weekend. 2lbs back on as a result of eating too much chocolate and cheese. It was good, but I am kicking myself now. Wish I was one of those people able to eat what they want within an active lifestyle, but that just isn't me. Gym's good though, enlisted the…
