Well done Kreesh!! That's brilliant.
I have been terrible. Really bad.
But. I have pulled myself together and I am back on mfp. I ran for 45 minutes yesterday. I went to spin fit at 6.00!

Kreeshsheesh · 22/06/2016 23:45

That sounds really good! Well done you for getting back into it! I'm full of cold so not been doing MFP properly but I'll get back on track as soon as I shake it off!

So did we all give up a month ago?! I know I did Sad. I've even been avoiding MN so I wouldn't check this thread and could remain in denial about another failure. I will try and get back on track starting Monday July 25th. Is anyone else still out there, either to join me in another attempt or inspire me with your continued success?

I'm still going thistoo (it's Claire), I have lost 2 stone 12 pound so far, stalled the last few weeks and maintained because just been enjoying food a bit too much again but still exercising and still
Using MFP

ThisToo · 23/07/2016 18:23

Wow, nearly 3 stone claire, that's fantastic! You must be feeling great Smile I have no idea how much I weigh as have been too chicken to step on the scales for weeks but know from the tightness of my clothes that it will not be good. I definitely need to get back on it and you are fab inspiration to fire MFP back up and take my health seriously. Plus replying so quickly to my post I can't slink off and think 'ah well, no one out there to notice, I'll have some more ice cream instead' Grin 2 stone 12lbs - big congrats Flowers

Stellar67 · 23/07/2016 18:39

I took a break but I'm back. I've seen you all doing brilliantly :-)

ThisToo · 23/07/2016 18:43

Hi Stellar good to know you are back too. Looks like I have no excuse now. I will be back on the scales on Monday morning and back on mfp. That gives me the rest of the weekend to finish all the ice cream Grin

deadon · 23/07/2016 18:55

Thanks thistoo i seriously have another 2 stone to lose so I need to get back on it properly even though I haven't gained anything I need to stop snacking in the evenings it's undoing all my exercise! I can't stop though! My hubby is a serious snacker and he makes it soooo hard!

deadon · 23/07/2016 18:56

And also to add just bounce on the scales it's never as bad as you think!

deadon · 23/07/2016 18:58

Hi stellar hope your well!

Stellar67 · 23/07/2016 19:39

I'm an evening snacker. Just had a magnum Blush

Stellar67 · 23/07/2016 19:40

Am good dead on. How are you both? I'm still jogging, slowly.

deadon · 23/07/2016 19:51

I'm sitting watching tv and doing some weights to try and stop me snacking stellar but the night is young!!! Grin

ThisToo · 23/07/2016 20:31

I'm eating a maxibon and resting my aching body after going to my first kettlebells class in weeks on Thursday night. Once the kids are in bed all I want to do is snack on junk Blush

deadon · 27/07/2016 13:37

I'm totally back on it lost 4 pounds since Monday!! Grintotal now 3 stone 2 pound

ThisToo · 29/07/2016 18:26

Wow deadon that's great! I forgot to weigh myself on Monday which was a good enough excuse for me to write the whole week off Blush so will start next Monday instead but then I hope to follow your fantastic example.

Stellar67 · 01/08/2016 09:38

Well done Deadon. You really are in the zone.

I am not even near the edge of the zone. I can't see the zone.

I will try!

deadon · 01/08/2016 09:54

The zone left me at the weekend! Back on it today though! Have a good week everyone!

Stellar67 · 01/08/2016 10:49

I just weighed myself. Put on 4lbs! SadI am going to have to sort myself out. Haven't been running either. Really have slipped up.

ThisToo · 01/08/2016 15:58

Me too stellar I have no idea where to find the zone!
I weighed myself this morning to find I have gained 4lb since I Iast logged into mfp. Worse still, when I looked back I found I've actually gained a total of 7lb since my lightest recorded weight back in May.
So, today is the beginning of a new week, a new month and a fresh start. If someone could just direct me to The Zone...

Stellar67 · 01/08/2016 20:24

We need a buzzer type thing that shouts every time we eat something bad Grin

ThisToo · 01/08/2016 21:06

I think I might need something more drastic, like an electric shock Grin

1503 cals yesterday. Quite pleased as that's been the best I've been in a while.
I think I have to keep on top of it. No breaks.
Deadon any motivational tips?
