Getting healthy and losing weight through the power of MOTIVATION

[SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood]

Motivational Monday - where we are motivated to stick to our diet and exercise plans for the rest of the week.

Happy Christmas all, enjoy your family time, we'll get back on it in the New Year.

Happy Christmas everyone. No dieting today at all and lots of chocolate etc consumed, but, it is christmas.

Sorry to hear that reastie. Happy Christmas everyone! Have been off the radar for a while but hanging in there as far as my eating goes. No bingeing but far too mamy mince pies, biscuits etc to induce weight loss. Have felt a bit off colour for last couple of days so didnt over indulge yesterday as much as sometimes. Ds has also been a bit under the weather but revived for yesterday .
Am working 9-1 today but have no visits booked in at the mo so am mnetting in the meantime.
Well done to all who've continued to lose, I'll get back on it soon, damage limitation until then

Happy Boxing Day!

I had a lovely day yesterday but I am paying for it today.
I ate more food yesterday than I have in a week lately - stomach does not like me this morning :(

On a good side - MIL bought me some size 12 knickers - and they fit perfectly!
Love her!

Happy boxing day everyone! (milkshake namechanged)

I've been worse than pants and i'm done..

Hope everyone has had a fantastic time, been spoilt with love, happiness..and presents!

I'm weighing tomo morning and will be challenging myself to catch up with everyone who's stayed with the thread and had such amazing results.

Merry Boxing day!!

Happy not-Christmas-any-more
I have lots of books to get through (read 2 of them so far)
Mealtimes have been a bit messed up, but the main thing I've missed is exercise, as we've not walked anywhere except church for days now. Taking DCs out for a run today though, so should get a decent walk myself.
TOTM so I won't weigh for a couple of days until I'm not retaining water, but even Christmas wasn't that excessive, so shouldn't take too long to get back to losing.

Hi everyone and welcome back milkshake. :)

Thank you Fives

Right I've weighed this morning..not good at 11st 8lb but hoping its not actually that much as tail end of TOTM and even with all of the xmas veg, nature seems to have forgotten me(TMI sorry) so hopefull for mondays offical WI.

I'm feeling very motivated,there is roses, quality street after 8 and milky buttons everywhere I look but I dont even want to eat one will put them all out of sight in dp's cupboard just to be safe though!

You've inspired me to weigh
11s6 - I've put on 7lb since the 23rd! Ridiculous!

I reckon its a After Christmas curse.

Yea i stuffed my face xmas day. It was One day and yesterday nothing was eaten and i was on and off the loo all.bloody day.
According to my scales i have put on 3lbs

Five That will come.off.in no.time!

Welcome back Knot :)

Oh bonkey that's so unfair. Hope you're feeling better soon

Happy Christmas to you all!

Well I've hoovered up all food in sight, and barely moved... I've not weighed myself since we moved in last week so I've no idea what I was, but this morning I'm back up to 10 13...

Dreading the gym being full of January best intentioners, but I plan to start a running programme alongside the gym and upping my weights for lifting...

Feel like a fat disaster

We all knew Christmas would set us back, but we all know we have the motivation to get back on it and keep losing weight!
This is a long-term thing, try not to focus on days or even weeks, look at long term trends, and we're all losing weight. That's the kind of weight that stays off.

IMST is right Kato - long term trend is down!
How is the new home?

Morning everyone.

I've had a lovely Christmas. Hope you all did too.

I indulged loads and I have to say I really enjoyed it. I didn't pay any attention to my diet at all but because I gave myself permission I didn't feel guilty at all.

However I got a bit bored with it all and yesterday I got back on it. I feel refreshed and ready to crack on. I'm dreading weighing on Monday though.

How are you all doing? Bonkey are you feeling a bit better now? How's the house Kato?

Ah, just started a thread asking where you lot were!

I'm back. Current weight is 12 stone 13. So, not awful, but I've put some back on.

I've got the wedding of two very good friends in March - I will not be the fat girl at the reception!

I have started going ice skating (having figure skating lessons) once a week, and after the lesson, usually skate for about 2 hours, which is pretty good. Some weeks I even go twice, once just to practice.

Unfortunately, I still don't have a job :(

We're still here, I'm not weighing until Monday, by which time TOTM will be safely over, and I'll be back on track.

Oh yeah, was just writing my weight down so I remembered tbh! Surprisingly I've actually lost 3lb over Christmas, which is nice :) That's if my maths/scales are accurate!

eighty I like all the chocolate in my house although I'm not craving it. It's the gingerbread house I can't stay away from.

Welcome back Lollipop I wondered what had happened to you. Glad to see you again.

IMST I'd like it to be my totm on Monday as I could have that as an excuse.

Welcome back lollipop!

I have weighed today, I am 11st10lbs - which is 5lbs on in a week.

I have a horrible feeling that my body is clinging on to anything and everything now I am eating better and not basically living of bread.

I have had a fair amount of booze as well in the past week so I am hoping that once normality has been resumed I can crack on and get back to losing the right way!

Roll on new year!
I have set my next target to 11st by valentines day! Very do-able so hopefully I can keep my motivation!

Morning all!

Well, challenge number one is today - I will be having tea out and about tonight, needs to be a salad as my lunch was about 500 cals! Ooops... curse you Tesco with your lovely mozzarella and tomato pasta bakes!

Off to check the menu of the place I'm planning on going.

Good afternoon, I weighed this morning, and the verdict....
10st 7lb, 1 down on Christmas Eve.
BMI 28.91, I've hit my MFP target and my Wii fit target.
I'm going to try going without MFP logging for a while, to see how I maintain or lose a bit more without it.

Good luck Lollipop.

That's great IMST. Well done to you.
