Independence Day Challenge!!

[fatfighter]

I was thinking how quiet it is on here too!
Well done on all that exercise Liz! You'll be fit as a lop for Florida
I've been to the gym this morning and will do a 5KM walk tomorrow (Race For Life is in 3 weeks, eek!) I've been weighing myself on the gym's scales - really hope my CDC's say the same on Monday! lol.
How're the exams going Luc?
Any recent WI results?
Hope you're all having a nice weekend X

 

[Watergirl]

Thanks Vickie - you're doing well with the exercise. Not sure I'd cope with a 5km walk!!!
I am not a walking fan, unless it's in theme parks lol.

Am sat with slendertone on now and feeling shattered after x-trainer. Might need early night tonight.

hi hguys, we walked between 12-18 miles per day when orlando, even with a very good plan- you dont realsie the walking you do before you even get in the parks!
wegoshop is very good, lady delivered everything we asked and put it in the room fridge- i was so spaced after a long flight i just let her get on with it! + they take TC so no stressing out visa card - we got juice bricks biscuits crisps etc plus sun block and toileteries, didnt take anything with us!
we also brought walkie talkies which were worth their weight in gold!
DC is amazing- food isnt great so dont hold out for that bfast is nice - but it was like a factory - dinner through the day is quieter so more appreciated. the ray pool is good too, and obviously the doplhins, i nearly got whip lash, boys are they strong!
be aware the photos are expensive too...
i would recommend pre booking your disney dining Whispering canyon cafe is brill if you have a sense of humour and if you can get the fantasmic dinner package that allows priority seating!
have a look on disboards.com - very similar to here but disney mad, the reviews etc are worth looking at!
one last thing, we you get to HS go striaght to the toy story ride, is brill - wait time was 3 hours, and they ran out of fasspasses by 9.15 on the day we were there!!
tc
tracy

 

[scojos]

boy for a teacher my spelling is awful!!

 

[Watergirl]

Thanks for all the tips Tracy. Am on DIBB and it's fab, really helpful. Am becoming quite addicted to it.
Wow at the amount of walking done. Hopefully if I make okay food choices the exercise will offset any typical holiday weight gain.

Know what you mean about dolphin strength - swam with manatees last time and they were really strong. One kept wrapping it's flippers around my legs and twisting - it was all I could do to stay on my feet!!!

Will have a look at Whispering Canyon - have me curious now!

[Luci-De-Milo]

Hey everyone! Well my exams are well and truly OVER! Wahoooo!!! Now haven't got to think of them ever again - well until results day in August, but let's not think about that now...
How is everyone doing? You've all had fab losses this week, well done, and Vickie I can't believe you've lost 3 stone in 8 weeks!! That's phenomonal, well done!
Ruth, well done to you too on your 2lb loss, I know you were worried about today

Well I've just come back from weigh in, and only JUST lost 2lbs, no idea why my losses are so slow but it's better than nothing - and I've finally had my TOTM, so feeling a bit less bloated. Also have reached my birthday/summer solstice challenge of being 10.7 stone, and only 23lbs to go til I reach goal weight!

Anyway, sorry I haven't been here, hope you've all been ok. Only 3 weeks til end of challenge guys!

Wow some great losses this week well done everyone, ive lost a 1Ib this week:cry:but I know why and im slogging my guts out again, but ive completed the challenge so very pleased, im not leaving the thread though.

 

[Watergirl]

Yay Luci! Great news on them being over.
Don't worry Witchy - think I'm the same this week despite going to yoga 3 times (sweat dripping off me) and x-trainer almost daily.
Not fussed though!! Feeling toned and the yoga is doing my mental health some good.
Congrats on getting to target so soon Witchy x

 

[Witchy]
