Bellys to Bumps

[EmmyReece]

awifey, yep I'd say that counts as exercise, all those lunges you'll have been doing, plus your yoga - fab

Hi Poet, I second what twinks says, hope your stay with us won't be too long xx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Hi poet, welcome do you have a target in mind or are you just hoping to lose a few lbs?

Awifey that's all excercise in my book I need to go do my running challenge once X is in bed but I just can't be bothered I read something on Pinterest before that said "wake up determined and go to bed satisfied" I new to alleviate the choccy guilt so hope I get my bum up and go!

So I did my weigh in today and (drum roll)... I am down 3.8 pounds That's with only modifying my diet! I can't wait to add in exercise! Right now I work two demanding jobs, but I just quit one and I'm going to start making use of my gym membership!

I'm super motivated now!!! only 66.2 pounds left to go!

 

[EmmyReece]

Way to go on the weight loss ladies!!!

We havent been able to start the C25K yet it snowed here pretty bad and it has been horrendously icy i am clumsy at the best of times so i decided to not risk the injury lol.

 

[EmmyReece]

Definitely better not to risk the injury, I'm another clumsy one so am dreading getting down our path tomorrow morning to the car

Grats AMP!

I don't really have a set goal right now. I would like to get back to being under 200 pounds at some points. I'm not really one of those that thinks I need to be what BMI says is a healthy weight, but I know where I'm at now is causing me problems. For the moment, I really just want to eat better, lose what I can and try to be healthier so I can finally get pregnant.

Awww pants - made the mistake of weighing myself every day this week - Wednesday morning 2lbs down, this morning 3lbs up! WTF!?

 

[awifey]

Your weight can vary 5 pounds in a single day.

 

[EmmyReece]

it can definitely vary a lot hun, so please don't feel disheartened

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I'm always making the same mistake - it's hard to resist!! Do you always weigh yourself at the same time of day? Maybe it's water retention, did you have lots of salt or not enough water yesterday?

I didn't go jogging yesterday, but I did ride my bike a couple of miles. I went to bed at 8.15 with a banging headache :-/ trying to convince myself that I didn't cheat cos of the little bike ride but I don't believe myself for a second

 

[twinkle1975]

I think I didn't have enough to drink - I'm a bugger for it!

I bow to you & yoyur bike riding! I'm in awe!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I reckon I went less that two miles twink, seriously was pretty shabby too. I don't even mind doing the jogging once I'm out but I cba getting up and out. I need to sort myself out though because I'm not doing it now while I'm home for a month I've got no hope when I'm in work full time.

 

[twinkle1975]

Only a month left?? Wow that's flown!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I've been back in work for 2.5 months, I'm just off this month to use up holidays, and then with Carl losing his job I've gotta go back full time

 

[EmmyReece]

Twinks I definitely find glugging down more water does help me

Pix, I'll be keeping everything crossed that a job crops up for Carl so you don't have to do full time

 

[twinkle1975]

Pix - sorry I've not been keeping up with people's news

 

[Lil_Pixie]

twink don't be mental I'm just really glad to see you around again

 

[Traskey]

I have faced the horror of the scales! Seriously I have never weighed this much in my life so I really need to do something. Besides my knees are hurting and that's never happened before. My body is struggling with the extra pounds. I can't do the exercise that you are doing LP, your runs are impressive but i've got to reduce the calorie intake. I swear i'm still eating for three, feel hungry because I miss meals and then overeat. No more excuses, i'll dig out the slimming world books!

 

[EmmyReece]

Get those books out Trask, some food inspiration will be good And I recommend a site called minimins for new slimming world recipes too
