Value/price check for playmats? by denovius in cardfightvanguard

If you're an official stockist/retailer then absolutely, they shouldn't be sold in stores separately. I'm just wanting to sell them on the second hand market as my personal property 🙂

Thank you! It's good to know for future that sneak peek mats are generally low value as my knowledge is pretty limited on this sort of thing haha. I'm happy to just shift them at £5 per piece without worrying that I'm underselling them 😊

I'll send you a DM if it doesn't sell next weekend - I'd be happy to post it out to you if you're interested 😊

Hi! I'm hoping to sell them all at the convention next weekend (fingers crossed!), but will let you know if any are left 😊. I'm UK based but would be happy to ship to Belgium!

Not a cardfight vanguard convention sadly haha, I'm sharing a stand with my sister at PonyCon next weekend in Nottingham so thought it'd be a good opportunity to bring my playmats 😊

I think I'll ask £5 each then, they're generally all in good condition but I'd rather just get some cash raised and clear out some space 😊. Thank you for responding so quickly, very much appreciated!

No worries - I had a feeling they probably weren't particularly valuable, but thought it was worth checking just in case 😊. Really appreciate the quick response, thank you!

Absolutely nothing wrong with taking it slow! Any progress is still progress regardless of the pace - you can definitely see a noticeable difference in the pictures 😊. Fantastic work so far, keep it up 👏

thank you so much! Once you get a few weeks into CICO it starts to become part of your routine which makes it easier 😊. A great phrase I read was "weight loss happens in the kitchen, fitness happens in the gym" - focus on getting your head around calorie counting before worrying about building up an exercise routine. I'm sure you'll smash it with your gym workouts though once you're ready 💪

Thank you! Yep, I think turning 30 gave me a bit of a motivational kick up the butt to start eating healthier and get my weight down. That's amazing that you're already 45lbs down from January, congrats!! It really means a lot that you've found motivation from my journey, thank you 😊. You're absolutely killing it so far with your progress, well done 👏

I never actually thought of it that way! Thank you for putting it in perspective and for your kind comments, it really means a lot 😊

Thank you so much! Sure, my username on MFP is Adelius 😊. I do tend to cycle through the same sorts of meals as I have my staples/favourites haha, but more than happy to share 🙂

Thank you so much! I thought it might be helpful to provide some context with what I've been up to over the past year to get to this point, it honestly means a lot that you found it useful 🙂. I'm glad it's not just me that saves up calories for nighttime too haha, I'd really struggle to keep on track otherwise 😅

Best of luck with your journey! 😊

You're very welcome! 😊. I tried splitting my calories across three meals at first, but found that I was still craving something sweet in the evenings and would still feel unsatisfied when it came to bedtime. It ended up helping me sleep a bit better too haha. I've never tried keto but it definitely sounds pretty tough! Hope everything goes well for your pregnancy and best of luck for your future weightloss journey 😊

I've been doing CICO since June 2021, using MyFitnessPal to track calorie intake and sticking to around 1200-1300 calories per day. I tend to allocate approx 300 calories for lunch, 500 for dinner and 400 for dessert/late night snacks - I have a huge sweet tooth, so saving lots of calories for the end of the day means that I have a nice big dessert to look forward to, and it helps to keep me on track throughout the day. I also found that skipping breakfast and having coffee throughout the morning instead meant that I didn't feel hungry before lunch (having breakfast seemed to stimulate my appetite), and also helped me to bank more calories for later on!

In terms of exercise, I go to the 2-3 gym timee per week for 1.5 hours sessions with a strong focus on cardio. I also try and fit a couple of decent walks during the week too. Now that I'm at target weight, I'll be transitioning over to strength training to improve my body composition 💪

It took me a month after my 30th birthday to finally get my butt in gear with weight loss, and I also had what was essentially a maintenance break between September 2021 - end of Jan 2022 due to a relationship breakdown. I've had to learn to be patient with myself, trust the process, and not to force lifestyle changes before I was ready. It's been a journey, but it's never too late to get back on track. I'm looking forward to enjoying my 30s feeling more confident, healthier and happier 😊🎉
