Hello Blue Team !

Just a quick note to say it's great to see everyone being so positive. No time for personals this morning but I have read all the great comments. We walked over 7 miles yesterday so I consider the exercise as being great.... the eating not so great. I really feel it this morning with that yucky bloated feeling. Today we're going snorkeling and a Catamaran ride so should be fun.

I hope everyone has a great day !

Congrats you big losers, weigh to send the pounds packing. Let em go join up with someone else!

Yeayy..Congrats everyone for the weight loss!! Week 2 here we goooo!!!

Day two done! Ate well, managed to not snack tonight too, whoop! Exercise done, boy did it hurt, hope I can walk tomorrow! Meals planned for tomorrow and depending on how I feel it'll either be jog/walk intervals or just a brisk walk tomorrow, we'll see! Got a day in the house revising, so no matter what I have to get out and do some sort of exercise!

Leslie well done on your 7 miles yesterday, and your day today sounds awesome, ENJOY!

Keep going guys!!!

My scale is finally moving again in the right direction. I gave myself a maintenance week last week because I was sick and super stressed but I'm back on track now. I'd love to be as far away from the 200s as possible by February.

Everyone seems to be doing great! I'm going to the gym tomorrow for an elliptical session. Did the treadmill there yesterday, and today I did 30 Day Shred and a 40 minute yoga and Pilates workout I found on Netflix. Felt great! Calories are good, and I hope for another good week for all of us!

This week seems to be rocking for everyone, yay!

I'm having a super on plan so far today, and hope to do the same tomorrow. Then on Friday I'm going to meet an old uni friend, and it's going to involve pizza and far too much alcohol. BUT, I barely get out these days, and I want this to last forever, so I'm not depriving myself on special occasions, instead I'm using them to motivate me to be super good in between times so that I deserve the splurge! I believe a planned off plan day/evening/weekend is fine, it's when they jump up and bite you on the *** all the time that they need resolving!

A very healthy attitude taking control! If we dont allow ourselves to stray occassionally, we will find that we cant control it when cravings overtake us.

Leslie, your holiday sounds amazing. What dedication you are showing us, posting whilst on holiday...it is very much appreciated...thank you

To all others, we are on track to take out another week, you are all doing great!

On a personal note, i have lost the 4 pounds i gained, plus an additional 1.1

Tania

This week is moving so fast!!!

Is beeing very difficult to come and say hi. But now, hi to everyone ^^

RainyDays : Nice to find that, i would have to look for some things cause i can't find anything good lol

Lambichop : Nice to see the scale moving. Hope that you feel better

Congratulations to our biggest losers this week and to the blue team for the win.

I'm still not on plan and for some reason I'm gaining out of control. 15lbs for December. I'm not sure if I'm in the head space or if I'm giving up totally. I never seem to win at keeping it off.

I guess If my treadmill would have come right away I would have been better off. Just found out its on back order and won't come for at least another week. Not as excited anymore and think I may have just wasted my money.

I hope my spirits lift again but this scale has made me very depressed again...I know it's up to me but right now Im just not sure anything is worth it

I'm kind of pathetic right now so I won't e posting and brining anyone down. I'll come back when and if I get my head screwed on right.

I hope all of you do great this week. Sorry for this crazy post.

Bigmid I want to send you a big hug! I'm sorry to hear you're finding it tough at the moment. As my username suggests, I've also had lots of problems taking control of my weight loss, and moving from wanting it, to doing something about it. It's truly not easy to get in that headspace, but please please please try to keep posting and keep thinking about it, and at some point you'll be ready. Maybe try and put away the scales for a few weeks, live your life, and see what happens...... Take care xxx

Good start to the day from me, been swimming, first time in a while and really enjoyed it. Got my concession card too for being a full time student, so no excuses! Signed up for spinning class next week, slightly terrified but excited at the same time. Never done group classes before because I fear being the fat/unfit one, but it's time to bite the bullet and see how it goes I guess!

Have a great day everyone! On plan all the way........

Don't be sorry, the important thing is that you are here. Better to be sharing how you feel than slinking away to be alone and going through it all alone. The holidays are a rough time for a lot of people, and when you start to feel off track it can be so hard to get back on. Just take one day at a time, set small goals for yourself. And your treadmill will be here soon enough, just hang in there! We may not always be fired up to exercise, but it's hard to deny how good it can make us feel afterwards.

My last 3 weeks of wi's have been -0.6, 0, +2.2. Not my best run, for sure. Honestly I've been pretty down about it. But I'm here, I still have a lot to be proud of. And so do you! And we all still have twelve more weigh-ins ahead of us in this challenge. Pllllenty of time to turn things around.

Hugs.

Hey all you winners! I am so glad to see everyone here & pumped about losing some more weight!

I don't know what happened this week, I've been on plan, but the scale hasn't moved. Oh well, just one of those things, hopefully setting me up for a woosh next weigh in!

What a day! First time in too long that I've really pushed myself with exercise, and boy did it hurt, wowowow! But now, I'm on a complete high! Great day, yay! Now I'm craving more of this sense of achievement, can't wait for my next session! I know I'll be in pain tomorrow, but that's all good, I can take it if it leads to results!

Not expect amazing things when I do my prelim weigh in tomorrow, as even though I've been onplan, I've done an awful lot of muscle work this week, so not sure how that'll effect the scale. But the scale is but a number, and I KNOW that by getting on the exercise bandwagon I'll be looking and feeling better far faster, no matter what the scales say!

I am planning to go off plan tomorrow, that's OK. BUT, I hope to be posting back on here on Saturday with news of good choices and a controlled off plan treat, fingers crossed!

I hope everyone has a great rest of their Thursday!

Catsgetnhealthy Hope you get back into the swing of things soon! I know when I'm back at uni fulltime (on exam leave at the moment) it'll be so much harder to keep up with everything, so I'm making the most of it now!

RachaelM I hope you get a whoooosh on the scales soon

Somni Turn it round you will, good luck!
