Well done - that's FANTASTIC!!!

Hi there everyone,

I originally joined the bikini club but had to drop out as I became pregnant. Only three months to go now and i'm getting quite a bump! I am very pleased as although 6 months pregnant I have still only gained 6 pounds so far. I lost 7 pounds in the 1st trimester due to morning sickness, but that subsided around 17 weeks and so have been eating a lot better since then. I am trying hard to eat healthily, i'm getting shocking indigestion so that is actually stopping me from splurging on fatty stuff ( so although uncomfortable its probably just as well I have it!)

Birthday tomorrow ( happy birthday to all fellow July 19 -ers) and hubby is cooking me a meal but he is taking me away to France for a couple of days next week so i'm really looking forward to that. What are others doing to celebrate their July 19th?

Have a great day everyone x

I don't post here very often, but I lurk daily... I just wanted to say well done Molly, you truly are an inspiration, 85 pounds over 6 months is brilliant girl! I wish I could have seen your doctors face when she saw you..

I have had to put my diet on hold for a while because I am pregnant ( major shock!) but I am still reading this board daily and logging my foods at maintenance to keep track so that I dont go too crazy food wise!! I had lost nearly 40 pounds, and i'm terrified i'll pile it all back on..

Hi everyone, I just found out i'm pregnant last week, i'm 5 weeks. I'm 37 and it will be my first baby.It wasn't planned as I have several health problems including a blood clot on the brain and so we weren't gonna start trying until we got a clear MRI and i'd lost more weight, however even though we know it won't be the easiest pregnancy, we are both very happy.

What is everyone eating for their calorie intake? maintanance or above?

 I walked around our local manmade lake this morning... perhaps 2 miles total...  took me about 35 minutes, which is an improvement from what it used to take me.  I feel better for it already.  The lethargy I've felt the last few days has started to lift...  

That's exactly how I felt, i've been feeling a little sluggish and felt so much better for the walk, so well done you!

Hi all!

Dreaded Monday morning, weighed myself and i'm now 199 lbs - so so chuffed to have broken the 200 barrier, it's been probably about 10 years since i've been below 200

Laughing cow extra light triangles

Mini Baby Bels - extra light

Grated Mozzarella

low fat cheddar

The biggest loser - they show that in the U.K too...I think 10 pounds in a week is totally unrealistic!! and sets people who watch up with unrealistic expectations for when they diet and exercise. They so must be losing muscle too.. as most of us know excess dieting means our body starts to eat muscle for energy... oooo i'm ranting aren't I? LOL

It just said on the news about Tornado's in Southern USA... you all okay?

Morning all, it's morning in England - so that means weigh time...

My weight this morning is *drumroll* 201 and 3/4 lbs

A loss of 2 and 1/4 pounds *dances round room*

So happy about this as ive been plateau -ing for a few months  the excercise bike must be working..

Just had a lovely dinner, a scrummy chicken stir fry, with lots of green yellow and red veggies and free range chicken breast, and I discovered 'blue dragon' oyster and spring onion sauce - 70 cals for the whole packet and virtually fat free (serves two in a stir fry) It was yum!

V. pleases cos I managed 40 mins on the bike today instead of my usual 30 mins, roll on the fitness challenge!!

I know a lot of you guys are used to snow, but it is fairly rare here in England and it's been snowing today with more forecast for tonight yaaaaayy, I love it!!

I have been buying a lot of prawns (shrimps to you guys!) lately, they have been on offer half price so I buy bags of them to freeze. They are great in stir frys or curries, and lovely as a filling in a jacket potato with some fat free dressing.

Yum....

I have some health problems so I can't exercise too madly, but hubby bought me an exercise bike and  i've been doing 30 mins a day ( split into two 15's) 6 days a week.

Diet wise i'm on 1400 A day, i've already lost 35 lbs, and have around 50 lbs to go... struggling at the moment as I seem to have reached a plateau, but i'm hoping the exercise will help shift the weight again...

I was on the pill then in November 2006 I was rushed into hospital and they discovered a blood clot on my brain. Over a year on it's still there, and i'm lucky to be alive.

The reasons given for the clot? a combination of the pill and being overweight= increased rick of thrombosis.
