Morning,

Hope you double excercise day goes well. I love watching come dine with me Always snack on sf jelly during it !

[Gabrielle27]

hey girlies - yeh i snacked on sf jelly during it too - and i put some alpro soya cream with it too (tastes just like normal cream but only 40kcal and 1 point)

first part of my exercise is done, i got up and did an hour cardio - my dvd and some weights (tins of chopped tomatoes ha ha) i also strapped some wrist weights on as well to make it a little harder - it really burns so it must work!!

off to the gym for a run around 4pm so i will check back later if i manage to go and i will be v.proud of myself!!

hope u all have a lovely day - its so sunny - it makes me happy when its sunny - im feelin good and positive today xxx

Hi twigs!!

oh i love vegas too i go every year - this year we are staying at the planet hollywood - last yr was the wynn, yr before the bellagio (my fave) and yr before that the venetian

i would actually live there its my heaven lol!! i have never been when its been boiling hot though like it will be in june and im looking forward to the tao beach party at the venetian - getting in my bikini for that to party with champagne cocktails is making me more determined than ever to make this plan work and shift this weight!!!

where did u stay - did u go to any clubs - im getting excited just thinkin bout it!!

G xx

Hiya

It was only our 2nd (of many I hope!!) visit to Vegas, first time we stayed in Luxor which was nice at the time - but a bit far out. This time we stayed in Caesars which was much better. IF we go again I'd like to stay at Wynn, or the Venetian.

Didn't do any clubs, not our type of thing really - just fancy restaurants and gambling and a looooot of drinking lol.

I'm torn between wanting to go when it's really not or not ... it's hard enough to walk around without the heat

Tao beach party sounds fab ... I love the restaurant ... although we only went for drinks it's an amazing place

Will look forward to hearing all about it when you get back

well i did it - i just managed 8k (5 miles) on the treadmill!! my knees are killing now thou lol

i think that must be 5 points - and then 3 this morning so thats great news - 8 points in the bank (which will stay there and not be eaten!)

im gonna do the same tomorro - but maybe just the 5k cos i think otherwise im gonna end up with an injury or something that would be just my luck and it would be so awful if i couldnt exercise at all so im gonna go a little easier!

i hope everyone else is as pleased with themselves today as me!! im quietly confident for weds weigh in that i lost at least 1lb!! lets hope my next 9 weeks are as enjoyable as this one has been and then of course even when im back from my holiday im gonna keep going till i get to at least 9.7 - 9 stone would be amazin but im not sure i am meant to be that small - but i will give it a damn good go!!! xxxx

Wow! I'm SO impressed with your exercise regime! You should be really proud of yourself! The weight will be falling off you!! You'll be 9 stone before you know it. How tall are you?

xxxx

thanks sweets - i am trying my best and cos i only have 9 weeks till bikini time i am gonna continue this and not cheat and exercise like mad - it will be worth it even to get to 10 stone!!

I am 5ft 4" so as long as I am toned, 9 stone for me is still not too skinny as im not tall - and i think its achievable eventually

but right now my focus is 10 stone by june 3rd - little steps but a huge commitment for life now to get this weight off and keep it off for once.. im not going through all this again when i do it this time!!

[blackwidow]

35C sounds like a nightmare to me.. especially with no breeze as i'm allergic to the sun (very jealous of all you people who can bare all in the heat! )

everything else sounds amazing though so you will have a fantastic time i am sure! xxx

 

[Gabrielle27]

oh i love love love the sun - i have perma tan 12 months a year so getting a real one is my idea of heaven!! but the clubs and parties is the main reason to go - and the fab restaraunts and bars... i tell u what thou i am not gonna be counting points for 6 days im there thats for sure - xx

 

[nuneczka]

I love the sun too. OH says I am like a sausage when I am lying on the beach, grilling, and turning myself every 30 min to get even colour!

Well done for doing so much excercise. Just look after your knees because it is easy to over do sometimes. x

[ugg]

So here goes,
I'm 30
A woman!
5"5 tall
And up and down lots with toddler?
11stone
Ooooh thanks for working it out.

My weight is naturally around 11 stone I always hover around there, so I'm going to have to push myself to get to 10 stone but I know it'll be worth it. I was 10.5 last summer and felt great so fingers crossed! I was on slimfast but felt I couldn't do much regarding eating out and having fun. Hence over Xmas putting back on some weight :O(

Love this site though and hope to be motivated enough to do it properly!
You must feel pretty good about your goal?
