Hi guys! I have a confession to make! I think I may defect to do slimming world for a bit. My OH has finally decided to bite the bullet and conquer his weight issue (he has about 3 stone to lose) and wants to do s world as he hates the idea of counting calories. I want to do it with him so we...

Oh wow those meals sound delish.. 30 day shred is a fitness DVD by jillian michaels. You can get it from amazon pretty cheap. It takes about 30 mins to do and you need some hand weights but be warned it kills. I have only done it once a few days ago and I am still aching now. But what doesn't...

Yes yes yes missy b! Wow 4 1/2 stone that is amazing! Well done! I know exactly how crappy you feel when a bit of weight goes on. We can def do this together. We will blast off those pounds once and for all so we can look hot in the summer lol :)

Just had the nicest treat ever for 400 cals. I froze a Vanilla and choc sprinkles and toffee muller yog and then crumbled in a milk choc kelloggs fibre plus bar and a choc fudge Alpen light bar in. Tasted like ice cream with lovely crunchy and chocolatey bits in. It was a big portion too! Soooo...

Cool will do! Yep am going to a house party. Much better than going out in town as it's so much cheaper :) what are you up to?

Odd day food wise today. Have no fruit or veg. Eek! L beans on toast - 400 D porridge and toast and jam - 400 So I have 400 to play with later on. Will see what I feel like. Have walked about 5 miles so am pleased! Have Rose wine and champagne for tomorrow night whoop!

It's my birthday end of feb too so would love to wear a size ten dress for then. That is the goal.

Yep I am going to read every success story going for inspiration. Went onto the cd forum last night and they are truly inspirational! So low calories! If they can do it on 800 we def can on 1200. Wowzas good luck with the personal trainer. I would have to go for a hot guy pt to make me exercise lol!

Oooo forgot food! Started off well with kelloggs fibre plus bars and grapes and ended badly with pizza and thorntons selection box! Xxx

Bring it on whoop!!

Am going to buy the rc magazine for extra motivation too!

Good idea about the pics. Am up for the challenge! I just hope I can stick to the diet! Eek! Have never really dieted properly before. Am scared of feeling hungry ( prob because I can't remember ever letting myself feel hunger lol!). Is 1200 cals a day going to give us enough energy?

OMG I ache sooooo much today. I had very good intentions to get up at 6am to do a fitness dvd before work but my limbs did not want to move so I am definitely going to need someone to kick me into doing the 30 day shred. Emz I am sooo gonna need your help! I will start on Monday doing the...

Thanks shanny! Wanna do shred with us?? :) Am in nandos! Delish!!

Darn iPhone! Meant mushroom not audition!

Whoop to you putting up a diary emz that would be ace! I just did shred level 1! OMG I cannot lift my arms up above my head as they have no strength left lol! It is def the hardest DVD I have done but I kept telling myself it's only 20 mins lol! I used my oh weights which were 5 lb each and they...

As I have the rc book and already have the portion pots am gonna go with rc. Also, I go out with my friends every week and the fact rc gives you an alcohol allowance is really appealing ( although you are prob not supposed to drink your alcohol cals in one session! Have loads of nights out in...

Awesome! Go girl! Shred is supposed to be sooo hard aargh! I am tired just thinking about it but it's only 30 mins long so perfect to do in the morning before work (in theory lol) xxx

Just found you on here emz! I have the shred DVD and will start it soon. Youneed dumbbells tho so am going to pop into Argos and get some tomorrow! Here's to getting toned in 2011! Whoop!! Xxx

How are you doing at the mo emz. Are you back in the rc zone yet? Xxx

Thanks for the info emz. Have had such a lovely few days but like you have totally overdone the drink and just couldn't say no to the selection boxes! Dread to think what the damage is now. Am not sure which way to go as I know if I try to be too strict with myself I tend to rebel and binge and...

How many syns in a couscous salad? Thanks!

Have had a lovely Christmas and was chatting about getting healthy to my oh today and am now thinking that slimming world might be the way to go. Apparently it is good as you don't really have to count calories. If anyone is reading this what do you think of either calorie counting or slimming...

ok, so today I have so far dodged the pastries, choc and pizza at work so am pleased! B - jam on toast - 200 l cheese sarnie - 300 d - with the inlaws so no idea... Will be back on Monday so def off plan this weekend! Looking forward to getting back to it next week. I am hoping for ea sports...

Dinner was a gorgeous spinach and ricotta ravioli in Tom sauce and 1 glass of wine- delicious! No idea of the calories but I don't care it's Christmas! Whoop!

I hope you are not still down emz. Christmas is always hard to stay on track and if you are like me as soon as I have one bad thing I go mad and binge the whole day. Let's make 2011 our year and really go for it! I am gonna stick with rc because I need a proper regime. If I just stuck to calorie...

Thanks Emz! Fab idea! I don't have any classes near me so I am hoping this diary will give me enough motivation and if we are there to keep an eye on each other even better! Am hoping walking will be enough for exercise as I can't afford the gym at the mo. And Christmas is def not good for...

OMG! Just weighed in (couldn't wait until tomorrow!) and I am 10st 7 so I have 1 and a half stone to lose - aargh! At least this is the wake up call I needed. It's going to be damage limitation as much as poss over chrimbo and then dedication in January!

Hello! Have been lurking around on minimins for a while and always inspired by everyone so here goes my turn! Have put on a stone recently mainly through boredom (changed jobs and now sitting down all day eating choc - ooops) so now is the time to take action and get those lbs off! Will...
