WEEKEND WARRIORS - 25-27th April
This weekend I actually don't have any major plans, other than keeping on with my exercise and food logging. Hubbie is doing an archery course tomorrow morning so I will be acting as the taxi service for getting son 1 to pokemon club. Have turbofire to do in the morning. May suggest a family walk in the afternoon but only…

Easter confessions - sinners enter...
A giant cadburys chocolate egg :embarassed: - did come with 6 creme eggs - 2 of which have also disappeared (into me!) - have put the other 4 into my boys' easter baskets though. Easter cakes - several of those chocolate rice crispie cakes with mini eggs on top, a few slices of simnel cake (do you have this in the US, it's…

Weekend warriors 4-6 April
So weekends can be a challenge in themselves, even when you are all motivated about starting the fantabulous independence day challenge. This thread is to share your weekend plans, challenges and goals... Today - normal working day, no plans this evening. Got exercise in this morning and have new 'Frozen' DVD to watch with…

Just aim to maintain or to lose more in the green bmi zone?
Still mulling this over so would be grateful for your thoughts :) During the April Fool’s challenge developed a bit of a hate relationship with the scales that resulted in me changing goals twice and deciding just to aim for maintenance, which I’m on track to do - just the small matter of a big family wedding on Saturday…

Exercise plans
New challenge, time to refresh the exercise plans? I am just reaching the end of my first round of Les Mills combat - I would recommend it, feels effective and burns lots of cals - but I am ready for a change and to take advantage of the longer days - so am planning another round of Turbofire but missing out week 7 - which…

March 17th Weigh In
March: 3/3: 150.2 (-0.8) 10/3: 149.2 (-1) 17/3: 148.2 (-1) :smile: Liking maintenance, hope this continues! Now on week 7 of Les Mills, it's a 8.5 week programme for the first round so thinking about what's next...

Weekend warriors 7th-9th March
I'm back :smile: Have switched to maintenance and will revise my goal on the spreadsheet but generally feel much better for doing so. Still aiming to keep up with my exercise plans, stick to daily calories (albeit to what seems like a crazy high total number now) and to log everything. This weekend: Today - quiet one…

Weekend Warriors 21-23 Feb
So this will be a challenging weekend for me - about pursuing a strategy of damage limitation as to try to stick too rigidly to calories will be difficult. What's on: - tonight - boys are away at my Mums so hubby and I have some time to ourselves. We were planning cinema but there's nothing Mr G wants to watch so we may go…

Weekend warriors - 14-16 Feb
This is an accountability group for people trying to stay on track better over the weekend! :smile: My challenges/events this weekend: Today – Valentine’s – hubby has bought me chocolates which are lovely but have been put straight into a cupboard! (Out of sight, out of mind). I am cooking tonight and have planned: -…

Ho hum...
So, I stayed the same again this week, am a bit :sad: and :explode: but seem to have fallen into a post christmas pattern of being pretty good during the week, working hard on the exercise and logging well - and then it all goes a bit to pot at the weekend (which in my head lasts from work finishing on a friday to going to…

24 Jan Mid week catch up
Better week so far for me, have been more disciplined with snacking during the day and better logging – hopefully will reflect on the scales on Monday. Am now in week 10 of turbofire and it’s tough – but only 2 weeks till I get to the end of the official schedule :happy: and still mulling over what to do next. Weekend…

Do you eat your TF calories back?
Hi, am on week 10 of TF and loving it - finding this week quite tough though. Do you normally eat back your TF calories? Or do you stick to a daily number of calories regardless of what you earn from TF? Just interested as a friend mentioned on P90X the recommendation for her is to eat 1500 a day regardless of what extras…

Exercise plans/goals
Have found having a plan for exercise has really helped me stick with it. Goals for the challenge and further into 2014 are: 1. Complete turbofire - I am on week 7 of this 12 week programme and have carried on with it right through Christmas, did help that christmas day and new year's day have fallen on rest days :wink: 2.…

Why it's worth sticking with this...
Just thought it would be motivational for those who are new to this group to see some of the outcomes from the christmas challenge group - lots of people started the christmas challenge but only a 'select' group completed - and not all of us met our original goals, but we all lost a significant amount of weight. Most of us…

Calorie challenge?
Does anyone fancy a bit of a calorie challenge this week? I've just finished ripped in 30 and want to make sure I keep my exercise levels up - so my goal for this week from today until Sunday is 2500 calories. Anyone else want to work towards that?
