I would love to do this BUT ive got a bfpo address so very few companies etc will actually post to me out here, and noone in this whole country (that i can find!) sells protein powder!

I'm going to tell everyone I meet today that an elephant's penis weighs 60lbs, just to gauge their reactions! WELL DONE to everyone this month, we've all done bloody brilliantly!

Thanks for all your replies ladies, have put on a pound which isnt too terrible I suppose, will have to wait till next friday to see the actual damage!

I was going to say rag week!! haha I am due to weigh in tomorrow but weighed myself today and had put on 1.5, so will weigh in and if its a gain I'll ignore it and you wont hear from me, but if I've lost I shall be all over here haha

Haha, bless ya, I admit it's a really chavtastic/chubby brown was of describing it! Blame my husband!

Does everyone still weigh in during their periods?? I dont want to miss a weigh in (it feels like cheating to me!), but I also know that I tend to put on a few pounds during this time and I dont want to log a 'false' gain as I'd find that really demotivating!! What does everyone else do??

I usually eat at least the most part of mine back, simply because I'm always starving on days when I exercise. Today is a rest day for me but I still made sure I walk everywhere so I can eat a bit more haha. Because I generally tend to burn 5-600 calories 5 or 6 times a week, I just dont think...

I agree with Bostik, depending on what ages your kids are I would just try to keep active in the house with the kids (i'm terrible at weekends too!), we play board games, play games on the kinect (which is also a good way to burn calories haha), reading, cooking etc. We also have a film...

Well, today for the first time in over 2 years I ran a solid 10.5k. Two years ago i used to run 5 and 10k events, and then I stopped running, moved here and put the extra weight on. Just after xmas I went to the gym to have a go on the treadmill and lasted all of 7 minutes and literally felt...

Eye eye cherry pie, 2lbs off for me his week, very pleased! I've been going I the gym 3/4 ties a week and am on week 2 day three of ripped in 30, I'm fairly lucky that I love exercise (:eek: weirdo lol) so I'm still fairly motivated!

I skipped the one above mine because it didn't have Bostiks update on it so thought it might have been copied from the wrong one x

Sounds yummy! X

Good luck, I sure it's been said before but I would recommend myfitnesspal to anyone considering cc!

Sorry to hear about your aunt :cry: but good luck with your weight loss journey x

Welcome! And I agree with everyone else, I couldnt do it without Mfp!

I'm 5 days into ripped in 30, I already feel a bit thinner around my waist haha, that's probably in my head though!

I'm going to do both at the same time moo xx what do people think about a valentines challenge??

Cool, Easter is on the 8th April, how about making a challenge for then, 3 months time?

I struggle with lunches too! Before I started this I didn't usually bother as the kids are torn at school and the hubby at work so I would just eat crap all afternoon and a massive tea! But now I make sure I have lunch, normally have soup/a sarnie or something on toast like beans or scrambled eggs.

What happened in the slinky for Santa challenge? X

I'm back! Have my iPad with me at babysitting, yay! Have been super good today so I'm having a sneaky glass of wine and some quality street! Was thinking about challenges, what about an easter challenge?

My start weight was 141lbs, currently at 138.5, yay! Will have to catch up with this tomorrow, I'm off babysitting tonight :-( booooo lol x

Another 1lb off for me! Well done to everyone! Bostik: 4lbs (3.2lbs down, 0.8lbs to go) Donzy84: 7lbs (0.5lbs down,6.5lbs to go) Carolineg: 8lbs (0lbs down, 8lbs to go) Alex: 7lbs (3lbs down, 4lbs to go) Betterforever: 7lbs (1lbs down, 6lbs to go) xCherryKx: 4lbs (0lbs down, 4lbs to go)...

I'm in, my wi is on a Monday but I want to change it to a Friday because I don't really like the idea of weighing in after a weekend haha, see you all then! (do we just come to this forum of is there a chat type room?)

We've just taken delivery of our shiny new actifry and was wondering if anyone else has one/any recipe ideas to use with it it seems quite diverse. You can even do bolognaise sauce in it!

Well done caroline, you've done FANTASTICALLY, I wish I had your motivation! :)

Good luck hun, I'm candyflee on mfpnif you want to add me :D and well done on the 3.5 loss!

Good luck love xx

Fingers crossed for your weigh in tomorrow love!

If you tell us your myfitnesspal username I'll add you :-)

If you don't like options why not try Cadbury highlights? It's 40 cals as well but it tastes a lot richer, I love them lol!

1.5 off for me! Bostik: 4lbs (1.2lbs down, 2.8lbs to go) Donzy84: 7lbs (0.5lbs down,6.5lbs to go) Carolineg: 8lbs (0lbs down, 8lbs to go) Alex: 7lbs (3lbs down, 4lbs to go) Betterforever: 7lbs (1lbs down, 6lbs to go) xCherryKx: 4lbs (0lbs down, 4lbs to go) Squeezyweezy: 7lbs (0lbs down, 7lbs...

Good luck love, and if you haven't already done so you should check out myfitnesspal, it's a fantastic tool for calorie counting!

You my friend are my new hero!

Thanks bb, and well done on the run!

Can I join please?? 4lbs for me, but can someone add me to the list pretty please because I can't copy and paste on my iPad, I'm a right technophobe!

Yep, I'm terrible at snacking, especially at the mo when there is still alf full tins of roses and family circle lying around! Have been ok today so far though, touch wood!

I'm always surprised at the end of the day after i've entered all my food for the day just how much of my calories come from carbs, it's staggering! Would love to get more protein in but like others of said, I tend to think of eggs or chicken!

It's still really warm at the moment too, it's been read hot all over Xmas lol, we flew back to Manchester before Xmas to visit for a few days and we were all freezing!

Thanks guys, starting again officially tomorrow, today has been all about stuffing myself with sausages and cheesy pasta in a futile bid to rid myself of this horrific hangover! Lol we live in Gibraltar at the mo though originally from uk, moving back in September which means I've got a full...

So, new year new star and all that! Lost half a stone earlier on this year and then put it al back on again! Sigh, so now back to Mfp properly! My username is candyflee if anyone wants to add me!

I LOVE Zumba and legs bums and tums too, definitely give it a try and if you don't like it, you don't have to go back x

I think everything in moderation! I don't like to have takeaways too often but I don't like to deprive myself completely-the family had a pizza hut last week and I just kept to one slice of pizza and a slice of garlic bread (which was still within my allowence, thank you mfp!) and made a big...

I used to get the Graze boxes, I LOVED them! can't get them where I am at the moment :-(

LOL, this is what I assumed, was just a bit confused as when I did WW I saved up a load of points to go to TGI Fridays and I still lost 2lbs!

I did WW once online (as it was a free 2 week trial lol!!) and I remember being able to carry over and save up points during the week for a big blow out every now and again without having to blow the diet, if that makes sense. I find the concept of CC quite similar and was wondering if this was...

Hiya, mine is candyflee, will add you now! :)

Does anyone want to add me as a friend on MyFitnessPal? lol I don't have any at the mo and thought it would be a good motivator? x

Welcome and good luck, I did WW for a while ages ago and really enjoyed it!

Oh, and I hate those pesky easter bunnies too :D

Well done :)

Good luck! I have made that mistake with supernoodles before!

I think my iner thighs have been wobbly since birth, they're definitely the hardest things to sort (on me anyway!)

And re the eating, I find that I get sick if I run after eating so I always try to make sure I have a carb-laden meal the night before I intend to run, which absolutely makes a massive difference, I've got far more energy that way x

I agree you need to find a pace that suits you and allows you to draw in deep breaths comfortably, if I go too fast then my breathing goes everywhere!

I would definitely recommend walking and Your Shape, I have this and it's really good, you can choose beginner/low impact and because you're in your own house you can go at your own pace and stop as often as you need to xx

You'll be fine my dear, just focus on Jillian's abs lol x

I've never heard this theory, but last time I exercised after coffee I was sick, and to make matters worse it was while I was running, right next to a main road :o. Extremely embarrasing!! lol

Hi Diane, welcome and good luck :)

I'd like to join too please, would like to lose 5lbs, however I'll have to wait until i've replaced the battery in my scales so I know exactly where I am! :o

I'm reading The Weight of Silence. ONly two pages in though lol.

Yep, this book comes highly recommended by me too!

:)You sound really motivated, well done

I like CC because I can still have treats (ie a nice glass of wine!) if I have enough calories left out of my allowence! lol

:)Well done!

Did you go? lol I would have gone and stuck to gin and slimline tonic alternated with diet coke. The biggest issue for me when drinking is the binging on chips and kebab from the takeaway after!!:rolleyes:

Well I think a huge congrats is in order, if that were me the only trace of Bailey's easter egg you'd find would be the remains smeared around my mouth, left over after ramming it into my gob as fast as humanly possible! Everyone should allow themselves time off as long as it doesn't escalate...

Hello all! Have started the diet again this week (am on day three) after falling off the wagon big style after xmas...managed to lose about 7 lbs but put it all back on and then some, although not exactly sure how much I weigh as the battery has gone on the scales...lol...though I know i'm...

Well done everyone! I struggled through it yesterday, had forgotten how hard it was! Off to do day 2...

Hey all, I started the shred (at the start of this thread actually lol) then fell spectacularly off the wagon and put on whatever weight i'd lost at the start of the year and then some :o....however, now back on the wagon and aiming to start the shred again....starting today! In fact, I'm off to...

I have silver stretch marks on my tummy and thighs from pregnancies (the last of which was almost 5 years ago!) and nothing i've tried has made any real difference to them...am currently trying to make friends with them lol!

I love my Kindle-currently reading the Millenium trilogy by Stieg Larson-for the three books in total it only cost me £7.98! Was dead against the idea of an e-reader at first, then hubby got me one as a suprise and couldn't be without it now!

I have a clicky shoulder as well while doing the side lunge/arm raiser thingys-doesn't hurt as such but it's a bit uncomfy!! Did day two yesterday, though it was a struggle as I was really sore from day one, lol. Just about to do day three.....

Finally got round to starting this today-lol. It was tough, especially the lunges bit, but not too terrible, although this is because I don't have any weights (well I do, but they are in storage in Carlisle whilst I am in Gibraltar, so they're no good to me there!) and so used tins of...

Try the runners world website, they have a list of races held all over the country x And I agree, running outside is better than the treadmill, though I like how the treadmill tells me exactly how far i've run and how many calories i've burned lol x

Hiya, I'll join in too please, i'll go for 4 lbs this month after last month's dissappointing effort! Ria - 4lbs to lose Pinkie1973 - 7lbs to lose Purple Sky: 8lbs to lose x_Alex_x: 8lbs to lose Miss Mango: 5lbs to lose Dancingqueen1987: 5lbs to lose CatCrazy(215) 6lbs to lose Ebonyspice 6lbs...

Can I join in?? I've just got hold of this so will be starting it today hopefully :D Am trying to convince Dh to do it with me lol!! He's putting me to shame as he's just signed up to do the Lisbon half marathon in may, so hopefully I can tag onto his training!

Gained a pound this week :( Grrrrr! All my own fault too, have been troffing all week on bread/chocolate wine etc-so dissapointed in myself! A new start today I think!!!

Do you weigh yourself at the same time? Your body can deviate throughout the day a fair bit weight wise-just think, a pint of water weighs a pound! The best time to weigh yourself is in your birthday suit, first thing in the morning after you've peed lol!! This is your true weight! Also...

A 1lb gain for me this week :( It's all my own fault though, have been pigging out this week every single day so was expecting it to be worse...oh well, back on the wagon today! Justjudith - 10lbs (3.5lbs lost, 6.5lbs to go) Wilkin87 - 8bs (0lbs lost, albs to go) *Shanny* - 12lbs (5lbs lost...

Hiya, do'nt forget that muscle weighs more than fat and if you're being so active i'd bet that you're building muscle quite quickly? Its dishearting BUT the weight will come off if you keep at it, plus you'll get really toned :)

My weight goes up from upto 5-6 lbs when I'm due on so this may well be a factor, don't get disheartened :)

For me it was just after xmas, putting photos up on facebook and looking back at the christmas photos from the last few years and I look so different now and couldn't believe i'd put this weight on without even barely registering it! :(

Mapmyrun is a good Iphone app for running as long as you've got 3g :)

Today my aim is to have a salad (made of lettuce leaves, tomatoes, cumcumber, spring onions, mushrooms and low cal dressing) which should come in about 50 cals (?? ish lol) with a boiled egg (90) and a small can of tuna (60). Probably follwed by fruit of some description! Yesterday I had 2 x...

Another 1.5 off for me this week! Yay! So that's 5.5 in total, 4.5 to go! Justjudith - 10lbs (2.5lbs lost, 7.5lbs to go) Wilkin87 - 8bs (0lbs lost, albs to go) *Shanny* - 12lbs (5lbs lost, 7lbs to go) The Moog - 14lbs (8lbs lost, 6lbs to go) loobieluck - 14lbs (2lbs lost, 12lbs to go) HBB -...

You can do it! I mentioned to my hubby that I wanted to give race or life a go and he scoffed that I could never manage to run 5k. A lot of my friends were runners and were trying to convince me to give it a go, so in March 2009 I went out for the first time and I couldn't even run from one...

I think it's definitely doable to really worthwhile-I've not had a ciggy for a month now and the physical benefits I feel are staggering-I feel so much better now. I've been running for a few years but the difference in running now and before is incredible. And because I feel more healthy, I...

Hi all, was wondering if anyone could answer my query.. I've been going to the gym/going for a run for about an hour everyday from mon-fri, and not doing anything on the weekend. However, my friend thinks I should be doing an hour every other day to give my muscles time to heal, and also if I...

It's so inspiring and motivating to see everyone's weight losses-well done all! My WI day tomorrow-am getting nervous as I'm sure I haven't lost anything!

We have a Kinect with Your Shape, have ordered Dance Central but it hasn't pitched up yet! Sports is also good for getting a sweat on! lol

Hiya, I'm a newbie would would love to join in! My goal for Jan is 10 lbs, 4 gone so far.... Justjudith - 10lbs (3.5lbs lost, 6.5lbs to go) Wilkin87 - 8bs (0lbs lost, albs to go) *Shanny* - 12lbs (5lbs lost, 7lbs to go) The Moog - 14lbs (5lbs lost, 9lbs to go) loobieluck - 14lbs (2lbs lost...

That's usually the time I struggle the most, after school...the kids and hubby have been wondeing why we're having tea at 4.30 in the afternoon...lol

Ment to say also that I'm trying to cut carbs in the evening and limit my alcohol intake to weekends only. I'll repeat the word trying!! If there's wine in the fridge I can't help myself but drink it!!

Hiya, thanks for the replies! It is a nice place to live though to be honest I'm a complete homebird and can't wait to move back lol! It's an experience for us all though, especially the kids-it's like a little gap year for us all! I've done WW and SW in the past but struggle to stick to it...

Ideally i'd love to be about 9 stone which would mean I would hopefully fit back into my size 10s again! Currently at 9 st 12 (have lost 4lbs in the last two weeks, ya!) and my size 12s are losening off again! It's true what people have said about weight and sizes-i'm 5ft 7 so not exactly tall...

Hello to everyone! I'm here, like so many others, due to sheer and utter over-indulgence!! My name is Candy and I'm mummy to two beautiful girls aged 4 and 6, we originally hail from the UK but currently living in Gibraltar, Spain, due to hubby's job. Rewind the clock to 2007, I was a...

Hi all, I'm a newbie and wanted to start using this forum as a support system, as my willpower is terrible! When I was younger (not that I'm old now mind-only 27!!) I could eat virtually whatever I wanted and not gain any weight whatsoever, but since having my two beautiful little girls and...
