Ooh nasty, hope your face is ok? I hate bees Good luck with getting your holiday gain off. I've just managed to get below my pre hol weight so very happy today

Thankfully the swelling went down quite quickly. My fast acting boyfriend has antihistamines, and cream waiting for me. Was so painful though

Well done on your loss

Had a weekend totally off diet and my Sunday run was cut short when I got stung on my face by a bee! Need to try really hard to stay on track this week. Determined to shift the holiday weight and carry on losing. How is everyone else? Seems very quiet on here. Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

That sounds painful-good on you for running even when you were off plan,I find that sometimes when the diet goes out the window so does the exercise.

I finished the third week of couch to five k.i think I might need to repeat it though as I really struggled on the last run.going to try the first day of week four and if it's a disaster il just start week three again. Diet wise im in the zone too although I'm not weighing til end of October so don't know if im doing well or not lol

Yay to getting below pre hol weigh! Chuffed for you!

 

[Autumn500]

Well done apico and 366to266 on getting to halfway point,that's brilliant!!!

19 pounds to go and I will be there too lol,bit of a distant dream at the minute!

 

[Autumn500]

Still struggling here. Not helped by a swollen and painful neck, lack of voice and general aches and pains on top so been eating a LOT of ice cream to soothe it.

Sorry cat,hope you feel better soon that sounds rotten.hows life in general treating you?are you still enjoying the job?

Oh I love running, helps me clear my brain and deal with day to day stress. I can be a million miles off my diet and still get out there. I also cycle a lot to I guess just use to being active.

Well done on your training so far. Don't beat yourself up if you do need to repeat some sections slow and steady is my motto

Well done on the exercise and getting back in the zone with food. Really you hope you get a brilliant loss at the end of October! It sometimes works wonders to leave the scales alone doesn't it? Wish that was something I could do!

Yay to getting below pre hol weigh! Chuffed for you!

Thank you hun xx

Sorry cat,hope you feel better soon that sounds rotten.hows life in general treating you?are you still enjoying the job?

Loving the job, feels good to be doing something helpful and every day speeds by as so busy.

Still feeling bleurgh, everyone at work so lovely though, stupidly went in today after being off yesterday, I must have looked like death warmed up as they sent me home again.

Dietwise not good, we are being naughty and waiting for pizza and ice cream for dinner

Thank you,I hope so too! I have managed to get rid of my scale addiction at last,the number still matters to me but if I put them out of the way and say I'm only weighing on a certain date then I generally stick to that which has been helpful for my sanity lol

I can see why running does that for you,I never enjoyed it before but j think that I pushed myself too far too soon,by using the app this time it's more manageable (still kills me though!)

Managed to do day one of week four,yay! I did my last run on an empty stomach which I think is where the problems came from!

..

3.5 off this week! (Or 3. I'm a little confused. Our consultant said 3 in image therapy but scales and book say 3.5.. but total in book says 3! But weight in book says 21st 9lbs and I was 21st 12.5lbs last week... Mega confused!)

Either way I've made my first big goal. I can't stop grinning!

That's fab about the job,you know too well what it's like to hate your job so it's great your happy on that front.the diet side will come in time I would give my right arm for a pizza right now lol,my oh and his family are at my favourite all you can eat buffet right now and I had to stay home as I'm juicing,booooo lol

 

[Autumn500]

Well done Autumn - how's the food side going?

It's going really well I'm on day eight of a 31 day juice and I feel really good (I will be having one meal on Sunday as my mum just got out of hospital and wants to treat us but I'm ordering Seabass and roasted veg so not too bad).the juice is meant to be 28 days but because I'm having a meal during it I thought I would extend it a wee bit.after a few crappy days at the start (which is normal) I am feeling energised and not hungry (though craving food I don't even like just because I want to eat something lol)

How are you doing? Sorry for the mammoth post lol

No need to apologise - good to hear from you! Wow I'm impressed with your juicing regime - sounds really strict but sometimes we need to do something tough don't we? Hope you can lose lots on that - probably that's the boost you need. Good luck with that.

As for me - after my holiday, over a month ago I've struggled to stick to any plan - now on Day 3 of the soup challenge on here - so far - so good (almost!) would like at least a 2lb loss this week!
