Hi Kim Welcome back. I've only been here a few weeks but there's lots of help and support as you already know. I'm calorie counting for the first time and am doing ok but I do lack in motivation sometimes. This might sound nuts but I get up and look in the mirror. I dont like looking at myself...

Hiya ladies Nice to see your name pop up Suki. Hope your all ok and sticking at it. I've had 4 days where I didn't get on the treadmill but got back on this morning so feeling good. Once I stop something I usually give up but I'm not going to this time. I've not done too bad calorie wise apart...

Hi all Sorry to hear the kids have kindly passed on their germs to you Kelly. You were best to leave the workout if your feeling rough, or you'll end up feeling worse. Lack of sleep is probably getting you down too. Lets hope you all start to feel better really soon. And you must walk alot of...

Oh my god that's a strange combo Linski but I feel the need to try it!!! Lol

Ok thanks Emmie. And I love phone apps so will have a look Kelly

I'm so glad Ive found this site. It makes such a difference to be able to chat to people wanting the same thing as you. I'm sure we can do it with each others support. Hope your having a good day

Crunchy but! Hahaha!!! Obviously I meant crunchy NUT =D

Crunchy but cornflakes! Yum! Lol Thanks Linski, I know those posts were for someone else but I found them helpful too. I've found having scrambled eggs for breakfast is great for keeping me full and chicken is great for dinner or tea too. Handy to know about the insulin thing too. I'm new to...

Hiya Welcome to the forum. Weigh in with Zumba thrown in sounds great lol! And if you enjoy the exercise its half the battle really. You know you can do it because you've done it before and if you stay as positive as you sound your going to be fine. Have a good look round the site as there's...

Like I said before your only human and you got straight back on it so that's the good thing! Some people would have thought sod it, I might aswell eat whatever now I've had that but you didn't. You were back on it straight away. I'm thinking maybe I won't see a loss tomoro as I've been reading...

I'd never heard of JUDDD until I joined this forum. Sounds an interesting concept tho.

You have had alot of snow!! You stay in the warm and play nurse to the babies =) Lets hope they all fall asleep later and then u can aswell. We both weigh in tomoro. Me first thing when I get up. What times your class? Are you excited or nervous?

Hope your having a good day Autumn

Yes I am calorie counting Suki. I've been doing it for 3 weeks tomoro so weigh in in the morning. Hope your having a good day

Emmie Are those pedometers any good? I thought they just added steps even if you just sit down? Lol Have u got one? If its a good one ill try and get the same type if I know it works. Might make me do more

Morning ladies! On no Kelly not all 3 poorly! Hope you get an appt at docs to get them sorted. You'll need matchsticks to keep awake this afternoon. I'm got a bad head today so not doing much but must try and get on the treadmill at some point today. Sending you all lots of PMA

Exercise is supposed to be good for us!! Haha Hope the hula hooping doesn't hurt too much tomoro. And I read somewhere that no matter how slow we go, we're lapping the people sitting on the couch =D

I started just doing 6 mins a bit quicker than normal walking. Now I'm up to doing 22 quite brisk so pleased with myself. Do it 6 days a week so I get a day off. Been doing it nearly 3 weeks and I can definitely feel the difference huffing and puffing wise! Lol

Hi BB I've not done any exercise for years either so I'm just walking on my treadmill. Started slowly and am gradually building up speed (not too much) lol and the time I'm walking. I'm really enjoying it especially when I walk further than I have before. I don't know if I could cope with...

Hiya Well done on your first day! It's hard at first but it gets easier so don't worry. I'm on week 3 and have lost 4lb and weigh again on Thursday so fingers crossed. Good luck with tomoro

Hi Caz Welcome to the site and well done on your loss already! This is a great place for help and support as there are loads of people on SW. There's a dedicated thread for it and that's where you'll find everyone on the same diet so perfect for advice and recipe ideas. Good luck with it

It sounds like it could be that so if you stick with it I'm sure you'll see results very soon. Must be frustrating for you though but don't give up =)

Hello and welcome! Sure you'll find this site really helpful as there's so much here to read and learn and lots of people happy to give support. Takes a little while to find where everything is but worth it =) Good luck and keep posting

Good idea! It's not bad fat wise cos its just meat and veggies. Nice and filling too and a nice comfort food for this cold weather

Hiya Unfortunately I can't help with why you haven't lost weight but really wanted to reply as you sound so gutted. From what you've said, you seem to be doing everything right so its understandable that your so disappointed. Could you have a word with your personal trainer and see if they...

Bruised you?? Bloody hell sounds dangerous!! Lol. I only walk on my treadmill at the mo but gradually increasing time and speed and am doing quite well so far. Hubby got me an exercise bike aswell on Sunday so goin on that aswell now but don't enjoy that as much. Feels better to be doing...

I could never hula hoop!! Lol. Is that what you've been doing today?

Tweeting!! I meant teething!!! Lol

Tweeting is awful! Feel so sorry for the babies when they're suffering. Bloody teeth are a pain from start to finish. Just had a lovely tea ~ turkey casserole with lots of veggies. I'll have some of your breaky tho Kelly and be happy to sample your spag bol Emmie =) I'm too kind!! Haha

Well this is the least positive day Ive had so far. I feel a bit flat (shame I don't look it!) and fed up but I've still forced myself to go on the treadmill and feel better for it. Hope everyone's ok today x

I get like that sometimes but that's cos I'm pretty new at doing it. My husband said to me last week, why the hell are you weighing those Shreddies? It made me laugh so much and I stopped stressing quite so much lol Hope your ok apart from the obesession =)

Hi Betty How's your day going?

Oiii u 2! I get Knackered walking on a treadmill so your doing great! Lol

i just read your reply on another thread about doing that workout and then feeling like youve been hit by a bus!! God Id probably just feel dead then!! ;) Too many bits of me to fly around, Im sure Id be a health and safety hazard!!:rotflmao:

I think that would kill me! Im very unfit so have been walking on my treadmill every day and enjoying it so far! lol Someone mentioned Lesley Sansome (think thats right name) does walking workouts. They sound good to me so Im gonna check them out online.

Your safe then if you left the Pringles alone lol Hi Emmie ~ good luck with the weigh in. Fingers crossed for you

And I see u sorted the pic out!! Good for you lol. Do u like my blue hair?

Hiya SG Nice to see a message from you =) Your chocs and the roll sounded delicious!! I had a chicken kebab last night from the takeaway. It's chicken breast chunks so don't think it's too bad but it felt like such a treat. We haven't had any more snow but its still hanging around. It's the...

Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. We haven't had much snow here, have you all got much? I find weekends worse for wanting to eat more, so I'm keeping busy with housework even tho it's boring lol I'm keeping positive and hope you all are too

Hi Jenny Did you have your chinese? Hope you enjoyed it if you did. Hows things with you?

Sorry to hear that. How about having a nice hot bath and reading a mag instead of eating? Or read through some inspiring stories on here. They really help to spur you on. Sometimes a bit if chocolate is the only thing that will do so have a bit and get back on track tomoro. Give yourself a...

Hi LB Not too bad today thanks altho for me its evening I find the worst. Want to snack - must change that! lol Hows today going for you?
