    Well done for going to the class!! Don't let the weather stop you, if you British can handle all that rain, little bit of sun won't kill you :)

    Blue Mango Im very pear shaped started at size 12/14 and 11.13LBS on Jan 6th now size 8/10 at 9.9.5 (I tend to add & lose 3lb depending on cake :D) Im really happy that this time I opted for HITT classes rather then just Cardio as for once I kept my boobs and slimmed down my thunder thighs im more in proportion.
    I tried HIIT but could only last for 5min...:rotfl: At the moment, I'm trying to get in a better shape by eating clean and doing light exercising. Then I can try HIIT again. Oh and I lost my boobs already, only the bum is left to lose.

    Well done on going!

    I may have ate two portions of jelly and had cheese on my dinner. Slapped wrists for me this evening.

    Nought wrong with cheese Fmess I wobble enough without adding jelly tho :rotfl:

    Blue mango you should have seen me at my first HITT class it was laughable but it was amazing how fast I built both strength and stamina each time I go, I find it's a it's a bit like a hangover at the time I swear I will never do it again..but keep turning up at each class, life would be so much easier if I just gave up cake

    I noticed their are a few of us 40+ ladies on this thread how are you coping with the weather, night sweats are bad enough without this humidity :( Im really hoping this thunder storm turns up to break the air.

    Nooo, don't wish us rain, I'm hoping to go camping at the weekend. Lets have some rain Sunday night *nods*.

    I lost another pound on Monday when I checked and was feeling pretty good, when someone asked me if I was pregnant again!! I hate my tummy! Fasted yesterday so its ncie to eat again today.

    Breakfast - muesli
    Lunch - ham and avocado bagel
    Dinner - spud with tuna lime and coriander.

    Will go to the gym later and do my usual 25 minute workout, have lots of calories left so might treat myself to an ice cream :)

    I hate when people ask that! It's so easy to get wrong so why bother? A customer once asked me if I was pregnant or just fat, so I lost 2 stone just to show her!

    Yum your food looks like it was lovely!

    I've lost another 2lbs! that's 4lbs this week so far. I think it's the amount of water I've been drinking.

    Just walked the dogs so that's 6000 steps done and going to a bodycombat class in a minute.

    Breakfast - cereal and toast
    Snack - Freddo! (And I only went in the shop for a paper!)
    Lunch - cheese and chutney cob
    Dinner - bolognese and veg

    It's overcast here at the moment and quite chilly :( Hope it brightens up.

    I went for my run yesterday, it was just 25 minutes but it was at 2.30pm and it was baking hot with no breeze. I will run again today too. I think I will get the kids out dog walking for an hour too today - they will be pleased:rotfl:.

    Hurray! My mystery 2lbs from yesterday have gone again. :) So, it means I've stayed the same for now and not lost any more, but that's not so bad.

    Have passed the half way mark in the Abs & Squats challenge, almost there in the Crunches and Little Black Dress challenges. I also tried a couple of yoga classes on Instructor Live, which were tougher than I expected!

    Great Misty Blue.Those challenges really start to ramp up towards the end I never managed to finish as I ended up owing to many days :o

    Have had a great day food wise
    Bfast Greek yoghurt and fruit
    Lunch, bean salad and watermelon
    Tea, Veg frittata and salad

    Managed to get half the garden cut before the rain descended but it's still disgustingly muggy despite the mild thunderstorm.

    Really struggling at night. I had my cycling things laid out and the alarm set for 6 am, but at 2:30 am I was still awake. Feet swollen and gave in to an ice cream this afternoon. Need to get motivated to go to Asda. I have invited a friend over for lunch tomorrow and need to take something to the barbecue I am going to in the evening.
