New thread since the old one is full :)

You're a braver woman that me whyme2! My friend goes to Zumba on a Tuesday and keeps asking me to join her and other than the, what I feel is, ridiculously high price I know there's no way I'd keep up!!

Is that 5 weeks or 5lb or both IBlamethePenguins? Enjoy your mums food and be sensible as it sounds like you are, maybe go for a hike in some welsh countryside!

I have a friend who goes to the official Zumba which is about £6 a time.
The one I went to was £4 which I thought was not bad. I was pleasantly surprised by how well I managed to keep up and not make a tit of myself.

Here it's £5.50, which is too much for me and why I run on the streets as it's free :)

Hi guys! Bookmarking! :o

cinamon thank you for your words of encouragement. I took your advice and went for a nice long walk today... Just abouth balanced out all of the welsh cakes! The wedding is 5 months time... Not sure where the lb bit came from.... I've obviously got lb on the brain!

Thanx guys for the kinds words of congratulations I was over the moon once done and have almost forgot the wanting to physically throw up at 4 miles not feeling great at 4 miles lol

Looks like everyone is doing really well good luck for WI's this week

IBLAMETHEPENGUINS Hope you're having a great holiday and enjoying sunny Wales.

Well 2ibs off for me so have now hit and passed the 40ib weight loss total now to do the same again and I will hit my own personal weight goal . Hoping 6 months and I will have made it to 10stone

Keep up the logging everyone it's great seeing how well we are all doing

Marking place.
I am ill again with a migraine, twice in a week, it is ruining my eating and exercise :(

Hi everyone. Had a bad week logging wise but the weekend is easier as I can do it as I go along. Totm so haven't lost this week. :( Been good today though and done 30dayshred and a run with dh already. Quick swim later after I have cleaned the kitchen too. That should mean I have plenty of calories to spare today ...

Well done bexsybooboo!! What is your personal weight goal?

cinnamongreyhound my personal goal weight is to achieve 10stone which is still classed as overweight due to my height only being 5 foot 2, but it sounds a nice number to me lol so another 2 + stone to lose nearly 3 but putting it as 2+ sounds better

rgpargy reading all the different classes you do has inspired me to take my life in my hands again following doing the 10k and have booked myself into a body pump class on Wednesday everyone please pray for me lol

I have been 9 1/2 stone bexsybooboo so I know it's achievable but not sure I want to be that small. As I'm getting closer to my goal of a normal BMI I am wondering if it will be low enough- 68Kg/10st 10 but as I haven't been this light since I was 18 I dont know at what point I will want to maintain.

That's why I think I will aim for 10stone cinnamongreyhound and if I am happy with this will stick and try and maintain but if I feel I should lose a little more then I will try. 10stone is a weight I have seriously not seen for way too long we are talking even before I had kids .

It's WI again for me tomorrow so hoping a little more off, really would like to be 11stone for our holiday in July but not sure how doable losing 1 stone 11ibs is before this. Would like to think doable but sometimes I get stuck in a plateau and it doesn't shift for weeks, so am just going to do what I can

I am impressed with MFP as it does actually work and is the longest I have stuck to anything

i have been mpf for 11 weeks, and never been hungry. lost 11lbs. it's slow but sure.

but the past few days i am feeling soooooo hungry all the time. deffo not monthly cycle related as i have only finished a period a few days ago.
maybe my body is bit fed up with the sameness of my food? hard to think of other stuff to eat tho. or perhaps i need to up the cals a tad to get some movement. I think this because i have taken 4 weeks to lose the last 2 lbs.

yawn!

I've now lost 27lbs doing MFP. Everyone's doing so well (especially Bexsy!) I'm being very bad tonight and having an Indian takeaway but instead of overeating masses I'm sharing a naan bread and going for lighter options so hopefully won't do too much damage!

I get hungry spells piratecat and also fanciful spells where I really crave junk food some of it cyclic but some of it I suspect is just down to my body not quite having enough calories but I'm not an expert. What is your limit at the moment? Perhaps others can give you more suggestions.

my limit is 1200, my bmr is 1326. i don't excercise as such, nor am i particularly busy on my feet.

thanks x

Bmr?? Maybe try to be a bit more active so you can eat more a couple of days a week to give your weightloss a boost? Go for a nice brisk walk is probably easiest.

Basic metabolic rate.

yes more walking is the easiest isn't it. thanks

Hi guys. Havent been on here for aaages! Will catch up later. Just bookmarking for now

Also bookmarking as had fell off threads I'm on.
Can't wait till Tuesday, next time I can go swimming! :o

Genuinely interested in how you know your bmr piratecat?

Cinnamon I googled bmr and it makes you put in a few measurements, I don't use mine all the time but it has made me relax if I go over my cals :)

Bookmarking I have been very bad for nearly a week so much so I lost the thread so am sneaking in to bookmark
