MOTIVATION through the power of non scales victories

[SPBInDisguise]

All welcome :) losing weight and being healthy through the power of motivation (particularly on Mondays)

I've tried to add some via the desktop version of MN on my iPhone and I think it's all went wonky!

I might be able to set us up a google base camp to share photos, recipes, anything of interest? Does that sound useful to anyone? X

Morning everyone. Not too bad this morning. I feel a bit more up than yesterday.

Kato are the pics on your profile all you? You look very different as a blond. The profile picture is lovely. :)

I'm off to drink coffee and watch IMST tell stories this morning. It should be fun!

Tadaaa! Ladies I've finally got round to updating and fixing the spreadsheet!

I've archived last years and you can still access it through the tabs at the bottom, where I've also added a sheet for pasting pics only if you want to obv!

I've also updated the formula so if you pop your most recent weight in the 18/03/2103 cell you'll get a total weight loss since the thread started!

Weight converter is still there too.

:)

Good luck with your busy storytelling day IMST I hope one day my wee Robin can hear one of your stories!

Storytelling was great, I've been booked for a regular Tuesday slot.
NSV, I bought a dress from the charity shop, it looks fabulous on me, and, get this, it's a size 8.
I shall wear it on the school run to see if anyone notices.

Shit the bed! Well done IMST

Thank you very mucheighty I just selected 'insert picture' on the s/sheet. I've really slowed down and need to get back on it...

Kato amazing spreadsheets too. I'm having trouble too getting photos on - how do you do it? I just get the google thing too. Took me ages to actually find a fat picture of me too as I refused to have my photo taken most of the time!

Eighty well done on the run (assuming you have gone and haven't just got into the gear!).

IMST an 8 - wow, well done. Great work on the regular storytelling job too.

well I lost the 2lbs I put on last week. Not sure this week is going well, but I will aim for a maintain at least!

I can't get pictures on the spreadsheet either, the only options are Google, Life or Stock. There should be an "Upload" option but there isn't.

Hrmmm I wonder why mine is different? Ill screen grab later...

Love the new spreadsheet, v. Pretty.

I've had a weird week, last week/10 days my weight was all over the place, then a period of sorts arrived. So think weight fluctuation was because of that.
But, periods. Has anyone else had periods affected by weight loss or exercise? Don't know if it's 'one of those things' or something I should worry about.

Went with a friend to a Zumba class on Monday and loved it. Also loved working out approx how many cals I burned! The equivalent of at least 2 shredding sessions and it was so much fun.

Loss this week of 1.5lbs. NSv, three people commented on my weight loss this week, which in a way is even nicer than watching those numbers go down.

Eighty twenty, thanks.
ill def be there again next week but surprised that i still sche two days later, i must ave worked harder than i thought! I saw up thread that you're a runner. Whilst I've done a bit of an about turn with my attitude to exercise don't think it will extend to running. How far do you go?

Tobermory, I know what you mean about periods, I used to have a 21-24 day erratic cycle before I lost weight, it's now much more regular, and 27-28 days.

eighty wow to the triathlon. This past couple of weeks I've been starting to jog on the treadmill at the gym, haven't felt fit enough before. It feels great to be jogging (I was briefly a member of a local ladies jogging group) and I'm going to try going to a proper jog outside not on the treadmill soon. Feeling a bit rubbish today and yesterday though - think I've got some kind of coldy thing coming on, so am being a bit gentle on myself diet/exercise wise until I feel a bit better.

Made DD a den this morning by throwing a sheet over some chairs and put some toys in there and she's been quiet for ages - it's amazing , usually I have to play with her all the time, so it's a nice break.

kato is the ss sorted?

Running? I was rubbish at running 20 years ago before I had children and had bad habits. Now?! I don't think I could.
Having said that, I really surprised myself with how much I did at Zumba. I didn't have to stop at all, I was leaping around with the hard core zumbaists, though def not as not half as good as them. I have the shred to thank for that so maybe....maybe I could jog. Maybe?
Maybe I'll try tonight.
I have a poorly girl on the sette so am in all day, mopping brows and trying to get some work done in between. I might be ready for a run round the block.... In the dark!

Triathlon? Will second reasties WOW. When you started did you alternate a lot, running and walking?
