That's brilliant, well done everyone.
need2bethrifty, that's great news, it must be a massive weight off your mind. It's a reminder to me not to take my health for granted, and to do everything in my power to look after it. That is the most important thing, being able to buy smaller jeans or whatever is just a bonus [though that feels great too:D].

Room for a late starter? :j

Ive set my goals into short term ones. I need to lose 7lbs by april and i aim to take it slow and steady!

After recovering from recent op ive just started up exercising again. I got the Jennifer Ellison DVD and Im quite impressed with it, i know im going to have abs of steel when ive finished it!

woo hoo, that's brilliant! well done everyone :beer:

nearly had a heart attack today! i had stored my cross trainer in the garden, covered with 2 tarps, to make room for the xmas tree. i knew i had to wait for my knee injections, so it made sense.

i've had it back in the house for the last week or so, ready to go, but when i plugged it in, today, nada... there was no life from the computer display :eek::eek:

anyhow, after taking it apart and looking at all the power connections and opening up the computer panel to check for loose wires or condensation, i finally managed to find an alternat DC power cable (my daughters old laptop cable) and... phew, the thing turned on and i got my first real workout of the year :j
it was only 15 mins but i thought it was best to start off slow :A

Welcome theonlynuttytart, imho the best way to lose is slowly. I've lost 2 stone in a year, it's only half a lb a week which a lot of people would get fed up with, but it's workinmg for me. Hope it does for you too

Intake today:
b - apple and blueberry oatmeal - 198 calories
l - 2 waffles (210) yogurt (110) small orange (15) - 335 calories
s - hula hoops - 95 cals
t - quiche (410) salad (30) - 440 calories
Total: 1,068 calories.

Not pleased nor displeased with today. I haven't hit my target for fruit and veg though, so need to look at that again tomorrow. I'm fed up of the food I have in for lunch, but we can't really afford for me to get lots of expensive stuff in at the moment.

thanks Sparrer!:D

Breakfast: Fruit
Dinner: Subway (low fat)
Tea: home made broccoli and cheesy pasta bake

Had a few chocolates from my box of Hotel Chocolat xmas box. A few months ago i might have eaten the whole box! :rotfl:

Keeping up the exercise every other day religiously.

Aiming for moderation approach as if i deny myself and live on salad i start to feel resentful!

Doing so many challenges im starting to feel a little dizzy!

Thanks LavenderBees, CCP, JBD & Sparrer for your kind words.

I tried to be good today but did revert to a bit of "comfort eating", at least I cant now be tempted by the biscuit tins as they are all empty

.

B - poached egg on toast
L - Lentil Soup. Orange
D - Pork chop & Veg
Snacks - 4 shortbread triangles, last 2 slices of Christmas cake.

Tomorrows another day and I will be good.

Hey everyone

hope everyone's ok.

Haven't posted for a few days. I started my phased return to work yesterday and it really knocked me out. Because of the hours I'm working it kind of messed up the times I'd normally eat. I didn't get any lunch til 4pm yesterday.

I've been a bit more organised today which has helped

DH made me up a nice healthy lunch that I could fit in eating at my desk (I know I should get away from office, but I'm only working 4 hours so don't really get proper lunch break).

Feeling much better today. Had hoped to go for a swim after work but didn't really feel like it. Got inspired by you lovely ladies when I got back and read through the posts while I was having my brew so decided to do my fitness dvd
