hi folks.. wondering if yas can help... want to get a fitness dvd.... am on play.com right now...

i know people were talking about davinas one... just wondering what one is the best? there are loads!!!! haha

I use Davina's Super Body Workout ;-)

Evening All!!....
Hope everyone is well and had a good weekend....
Today is my WI day (doing WW online), and got over the stone mark...Down 1st and 1lb now...Really pleased...
I found the past week quite tough - I didn't have enough food in, so couldn't bulk up on veg, and was eating less food but with high pp value...
Did a big shop yesterday, so all set for the week now...

A lot of people on here talking about fitness DVDs...have never tried one, but as everyone is raving about Davina's DVD, I might have to give it a go...She's very good on Biggest Loser...

am struggling with my knee this weekend big time... flares up every now and again so i have been walking and trying to do exercises that don't really involve me legs.

Ali85 - I have trouble with one of my knees too...Cycling, swimming and rowing are great for the knee as there's no impact - You could maybe try one of those...

Just updated my blog.... http://alibx.blogspot.com/

Feels good to vent while the other half is watching crappola on the TV!

I have a query about the ham I had with my chicken dinner today!

If there is something I need to know the nutritional value for and I don't have it to hand, I go to the Tesco website and get it all from there.
This evening I went and looked up the ham, it came out as 0pp per slice, I'm thinking this is because the fat value was 'trace' and I put it as 0 in the calculator?

Should I have put it in as 1g?

No, if it is trace I always put it in at 0 because there would only be a tiny bit in it. A lot of ham slices, you can get 2 slices for 1PP, so 1 slice probably is 0PP.

I think it's great! God ur legs & a*s are just jelly afterwards :-) I don't know if it makes a difference alone because I'm loosing weight & inches by WW & exercising you know.

Got the email from play.com this morning to say my two Wii games have been posted. I'm really excited to give them a go. Should be fun with my dd dancing around the sitting room. She was doing the Wii fit along with me (well doing some of the boxing until she got bored... haha). She loves dancing (has failed miserably to try and teach me how to shuffle "everyday I'm shuffling" ) but she is enjoying all the activities we are doing now. Its a good education for her to keep active. She still has her goodies and all that, but she is loving the fact that we can have fun while we get active, that its not all spending hours sweating on a treadmill.

Have been working hard this week, and had a sneaky look at the scales this morning... I am still the same... Sometimes when I have a look, especially in the morning I see that I am down a pound or something... but this week... NOTHING... think I might be coming up on TOTM again... just going to persevere and see how I get on come Wednesday. I know I am doing everything right... so fingers crossed. Maybe the new work outs will give me a bit of a boost.

The cheeky looks are the worst, I weighed myself and the gym saturday and it said I was down 6lbs but then my dOctor weighed me this morning and I was the same as last WI. So you never really know!

Hello :-) happy Monday!! It's nearly Tuesday here thou!! Very proud of myself had no treats tonight after dinner and I'm down to 28pp now too determined to strive on thru to WI on Saturday to get another loss!! I may be back in the zone yussss!!! :-)

I weigh myself every morning (find it good for keeping me focused) but since the Wednesday after my weigh in, the scales have me up 2lbs. At first I was like, that's okay, I had a large meal Tuesday evening but this morning I weighed myself and I was still 2lbs up. I've been within my points this weeks and have used over half of my weeklies. So I'm a bit disappointed, as I reached my stone last week but will have lost that if I'm up 2 lbs Plus I can't even blame it on TOTM. Oh well, I'll just have to hope for the best tomorrow. I don't think I'll be able to make next week's meeting so I'll have to be really motivated and focused for the next two weeks!

Hi all... Motivation has been a little low now the New Year buzz is long gone.. and some of my followers have been asking for a 'challenge' as such... so if anyone is interested I'm starting a mini challenge for Easter ....

http://theskinnydollsjourney.blogspot.com/2012/02/skinny-bunny-challange.html

No need to check in if you don't want to.. but there's 7 weeks to Easter and a a mini challenge it might make a 1/2 stone before we face all the summer gear coming into the shops!

Just wanted to have a bit of a rant about my doctor (or the one i went to see today) Didn't get to go to my usual doctor and the one I went to seemed obsessed with my weight. My doctor has discussed my weight with me before but never in such a heavy handed way as this one. I had told her that I was currently getting a handle on my weight and had lost a stone or a quarter of my target loss in the past 7 weeks. But she just kept harping on about it. And every single thing I had to discuss with her she put it down to my weight being the problem. She didn't even seem to want to entertain the possibility of it being anything else. To me she did not put my mind at ease on anything at all, so now I have to pay to go see my real doctor again to be sure. Kept mentioning the fact I am medically obese (which according to my BMI I am, but I am on the brink of breaking that, only a couple of pounds more and I wont be and I also had told her I was aware of my weight issues). Now I am totally aware of my weight issues but I think she could have laid off a bit considering the fact that I had proven to be doing something about it and her focusing on it so much just made me feel rotten. Also I wouldn't even mind but she is not a healthy weight herself - maybe not obese but definitely overweight. Obviously I am not going to let it sabotage my efforts but surely they should be trained in better ways of tackling weight management - I know my usual doctor is much better at encouraging weight loss.

Sorry rant over

I'm going to be down on Wednesday. My home scales is telling me 2lb at the moment, but I don't dare to dream it. I'm 2.5lb to goal. I was 10st3 this morning, I actually can't remember being that weight in the past 12 years, I don't think I have.

I'm laying into the water here at my desk.

Keep thinkin thin thoughts!!!!!!!
