Food is looking fab CB. In terms of weights/strength they can actually really help you lose weight, as using heavy weights actually burns a lot of calories even after a workout, it might be worth seeing if you can get a bit of a plan together for a strength workout- things like kettlebells are...

Brilliant well done Wiifit :)

Hi Charley, I haven't been on much recently but have been diary scanning and just wanted to say well done, loving the determination :)

I think that's a bigger thank you from everyone whose tried them ;) thanks so much for taking the time to do this Pete

Well done on the loss :), 1lb a week is nearly 4 stone in a year!!

Fab news about the s14 bikini pants :) Bless Mick and his ketchup! I have to say I am The more trampy one in our house and he is always moaning about it, I'm also likely to wander around in a onesie and my hair all scraggy, I figure it's a trade off for never getting spoiled anymore, lol

Haha true - I do enjoy them :)

Food looks yummy :) I really miss the cinema, we used to go most weeks pre kids, now we only ever go to see kids films :( OH sometimes goes to see a film he really wants to on his own but I never fancy it, it's not the same without anyone to chat to about the film afterwards

Just catching up Charley- my OH hasn't a romantic bone in his body, but neither have I!! What are you seeing at the flicks? X

I'm off work today so umming and ahhing about fasting as don't usually fast when I'm with my kids. However am thinking I may split my cals for a 200 cal lunch and 200 cal dinner as did Body Blitz this morning and am doing Pilates tonight so it'll give me some fuel and let me eat with the kids...

That's what I tend to do now, so if it's 20 snatches with each hand I have an 8kg in both hands and attempt 40 snatches with both hands at once, as I found parts were too easy after a while x but some stuff like shoulder presses I still use just one at a time for Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

My weight fluctuates a couple of lbs between days, so I weigh on a Fri morning, after fasting thurs Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hiya, there's no hard and fast rules with 5:2, I do two set days fasting a week, where I don't eat for 24 hrs (say 7pm night before until 7pm fast day) but I do use some of my cals for milk in coffee, then allow 400 for food. I do track my up days, I don't "need" to but I prefer it, I use MFP...

Totally agree.. There's bound to be a difference. Well done on all the exercise, I think the annoying thing with that can be that the scales don't always seem to play ball straight away, presumably due to water etc, I often seem to sts or gain after upping my workouts ( like last week) but it...

Well done that's great Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Big hugs Missy, although I do think in terms of your mental well being etc a few months of not thinking about things too much and focusing on enjoying life and getting healthy is positive, especially as I know IVF etc are a bit of a roller coaster I really do believe that one way or another...

Wow well done shred, I want 14st 10 this week for my 10% off :) jealous lol Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Wohooo that's great after being so ill etc too, well done :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Totally agree, sometimes when you're tired/busy etc it's good to have stuff in that will keep hunger at bay within plan. Other things I've bought are the "simply bake" type frozen fish meals, some of those are free and just go straight in the oven. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Ooh well done all :) Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Haha I know that feeling :) Is it worth getting a few quick frozen bits in for easy meals? Mine are the frozen jacket potatoes and frozen omelettes, just means on the days I'm too frazzled to think I can nuke one with some beans or something. But I get the same with planning etc which is why...

I don't eat meat, so eat lots of quorn and veg based meals, I think this makes a difference budget wise as when I've bought meat for others I'm always shocked at the price. Last night for instance we has quorn meatballs with veg/tomato sauce etc and green beans ( OH had rice), this would have...

Hi ladies, I still lurk on here but post must on diaries etc, you're both doing great, I'm plodding slowly, lol. Lou I've been in exactly the same position with young kids, money, work, uni etc and it is so hard juggling everything and having the motivation to spend time cooking etc, big hugs...
