My dog is a massive challenge being a husky who likes to bark at other dogs and generally be a nuisance. I'm hoping the extra exercise will eventually beat the excitement out of him and stop the crazy bad dog attitude! I haven't been out again since but am hoping to on Saturday :-) Sent from my...

Sooo that's the salad challenge done for now! :) I've lost 3 1/2lbs...whether it's water or fat loss doesn't matter...all the salad and lack of carbs has resulted in a great loss! Good luck to all the newbies :)

Thanks Kay...I'll just have a read for now until the salad challenge is over tomorrow then decide whether to just be inspired or hop on board on Saturday! :) :) :) hope you've had a lovely day xx

Hullo all... Come to confession!!!...I've not been running in 11 days :( I just cannot find the motivation...I've been bogged down with a cold and a bad weigh in last week really knocked me....I'm doing great food wise this week..but I've lost momentum and have got lazy...preferring to sleep...

Hi Kay :) Sorry, you've probably posted it but there's A LOT going on in your diary all the time and pages move faster than I can have time to read them - do you have a thread for your soup challenge??? I bought some soup storage bags for freezer and fridge...I really would like some recipes...

Yes it's a slight syn disaster this week!! But less than 10 is still good, anything over 10 for me is very bad, but am determined that today will be 5 if not less :) Ran out of lettuce yesterday, half the pack was orange lol. Last time I buy tesco lettuce!!! So off for another lettuce hoarding...

Aww I know how you feel I try to not snack on free food as I noticed I didn't get a loss either!!

I just ran in the rain in 3/4 Lycra shorts and a Lycra top lol! I was so hot after 10 minutes that it was refreshing and nice to wear something light! 2 1/4 miles done today! I also done my fastest mile! 7.8 / 31 miles

Clareel I loooove sports direct!!! It's my fave running place to shop!!! I however bought new top and first pair of shorts (down to the knee I'm still modest!!) from Primark on Saturday....if you have one near you I suggest very much to have a look as their running stuff is great! Really...

Hope that gain gets lost soon Kay, totally undeserved but I'm sure in a week's time you'll have a more accurate reflection of your weight :) :) I know hard bluddy annoyed you must feel right now though, frustrating doesn't cover it x

Clareel, best of luck today!!! Don't focus on '10k' as that can lead to dread, just focus on the moment and put your energy and focus into moving your feet and not the eventual 'omg I'm dying'. I also try and think of things to distract me that require thought and planning, like what I'm doing...

Just run another 2.6 miles ;) need to burn off that cake from this morning!!! :P 7.6/31

Lol!! I'm turning over a new leaf, I'll still be 'checking' before I leave for weigh in as I think there's nothing worse than going there and having a stroke on the scales!! I want to be prepared still for bad news as last time I didn't I threw a massive strop then and there!

Thanks Lucy! It's so surreal =D

Thanks Kay, you are officially my Minimins consultant!!!!!

Ran 2.6 miles today :) For anyone who didn't read my diary or the thousand other threads I announced it on...I became a target member today and lost 4 1/2lbs this week :) that 11 mile run on Saturday paid off huh?!! 5/32 miles :)

Niiiiicolaaaaaa where are yoooooou?!!!!!

Well if Kay and the bunny think I should...so do I!! =D not sure if I should still follow the salad challenge...I don't want to lose too much...did I really just say that?!!!!!

Beautiful, thanks Kay!! I'm a little sad that I shouldnt do the challenge anymore though as I enjoyed it so much!!!

Yippeee! With thanks to Kay, I lost 4 1/2lbs this week!! That took me beyond my target, so I changed it! And also inspired my group to give me young slimmer of the year :) :) Thanks Kay, and everyone else...keep at it!!!!!!!! The results are amazing!!!! I done it for three days and it's given...

Kay don't do it to yourself!!! Gym scales always made me heavier...please try to ignore it, and stop the salt torture!! It won't affect weight. You need to get to an SW group and fast for some motivation if you ask me!!! Cheer up hun, you can do this, don't beat yourself up you are doing...

Oooh clareel first 10k!!! My advice: don't follow your instincts to stop!!! Lol. It's a trick!!! :D so worth sticking it out it's 100% better feeling after you have than the guilty one when you stop. I am however completely confident you will smash it =D

=D I've tried a potato and leek and tomato soup...perhaps I'm being too fussy, but I used to love Asda's smart price tomato soup and I just wish I could eat it still as much as a want, however it's full of syns despite being 20p a can! *has dreams about creamy tomato soup*

Aaahhh cheese thief I used to swim twice a week!! Fell out the routine was so hard working 40 hours a week, running, swimming and feeding myself!!! Hopefully I can squeeze it back into my life again one day :) miss that hour at the pool on a Tuesday and Friday!!

If I do I owe it to you ^.^

Hi all!! Ran a teeny 2 1/2 miles after work..still a little bogged down with a head cold and I also only eaten salad all day so my energy wasn't the best at all! Run scheduled before weigh in Friday, aiming for a full 3 miles around both lakes, will have to get up super early and try wake up so...

Everytime I make soup it tastes good the first cup straight from hob..but reheated and I throw it away...someone help with a foolproof recipe!!! I bought soup freezer/container bags but haven't yet been able to use them! :-(

Haha! Well..I grabbed the freddo and Mr Curly Wurly was next to him saying 'go on Lauren, you need some fuel after that exhausting run'. I should of had two Freddos but I fancied it!! :D 5 is a definite tomorrow though...half a butterscotch cookie with a cup of tea after dinner is the plan...

Definitely!!! But I don't know if it's that I wear tight fitting clothes now that make me glide easier as I do feel weighed down when I wear my thick winter jogging bottoms, opposed to the Lycra effect three quarter lengths....I do think lighter clothing helps running massively, but you got to...

Ahh why thank you!!! Yes almost 4 stone down, feel as light as a feather when I run now it's lush!!! Keep on going...if I can get here, anyone can! I was the queen of lazy couch potatoes..it's weird!

Glad to inspire...gotta spread the love of the cheapest way to release those happy hormones!!! I think I'll aim for 50k too!! I don't wanna aim for 50 miles again that was hard work I need a rest haha. 50k is 31 miles for anyone else who went 'uuuummm' like me before I googled it lol

Hey sorry no time yet to read whole thread...so it's only one meal for salad?? I thought it'd be dinner and lunch!!! I'm speaking too soon probably but sounds easy! I may adapt and have a few days with both meals as salad. I'm not a soup person as my homemade soups are rubbish lol. Snacking non...

Wow well done you little super star. Enjoy the rest...can be hard being so regimented with eating challenges so a week or two back to normal will help for when you are back on it again. I think I'll follow your lead!! I've kinda had a salad today lol. :) :) Well done and enjoy the glory!

I hear you...I haven't dared run in the dark! Been out once last week actually and it's got dark about 10 minutes before I finish and that wasn't bad at all...not brave enough to go when it's completely dark. Definitely not confident in underpasses and enclosed redways. Running along roads in...

Good luck Kay!!

Thanks clareel!! Went and did a quick 20 minute run tonight, 2 1/2 miles down :) I did my challenge and ran exactly 50 miles in March! So now tomorrow starts my 10 miles in a week challenge. Easy! Running 4 miles Wednesday, 3 Friday before weigh in (always helps shift some water weight) and see...

Well done RM!! :) :) don't you feel awesome now that you made it out?? Always brightens my day when I make the effort when I was debating not to =) My pace is awful too most the time,.i slow down big time on my longer runs...the 5ks aren't too bad now I managed to uphold it or speed up to the...

I'm sure if you say pretty please she will! She can cheer you on, you may inspire her! :) :) I'm off out for anothe run tomorrow..only 2 miles so I can finish the 50 miles in March challenge I set lol. I'm only 2.2miles away from achieving it so I'm determined! No prize, just glory lol =D I...

I saw -4lbs on the scales yday...that's a 4lb loss overnight after TOTM lol. Typical!! Too scared to get on today...going to leave this for now, maybe hold out until Wednesday or Thursday. I had a flexi syn day yesterday so I got some catching up to do this week. So strong willpower needed...

I'm sure she's just having a good weekend, you all worry too much! Calm down lol

WELL!!! I ran 11.25 miles!!!! God I wanted to die!!!! Lovely river side trail run....1400 calories burned. Lovely!!!! In my PJs now I am DEAD lol

Someone help me get motivated for a 10 mile run this morning! Just eaten so waiting half hour first.....I got my route, made a playlist which should hopefully last 2 hours at least.....hoping I stick to 10 minutes a mile and so finish in 1hr 40 ish...... My friend can't run with me so going it...

Sooo this is June 2013 and March 2014! So just nearly year on! I think it may be just under 2 stone difference but the inches are for sure gone and mainly down to running!! Cannot believe the difference in my hips keep at it everyone....so worth it when you can go out in your running gear and...

Hi all!! I am in love with my fitbit, I couldn't go a day without wearing it I love tracking things!!! Really hope the new wireless earphones come out soon they look immense ... 3 litres drank today, 15,000 steps, ran 3 miles....it's been a good day! Ran my fastest mile today of the whole...

Wow 4 1/2!!! Congratulations on a great stash of awards!!! Xx

Bit the bullet, got on scales and 1/2 off from Friday weigh in. Want more!!!! It's a bad time of the month to expect more than that but a girl can dream!!!

Hi all! I've not run in a whole :-/ BUT I have booked myself in for a date with the running shoes at 4.45 tomorrow!! Going to run 3 miles. I really do t fancy a long run this week, I'm doing all early shifts too. Think I may attempt 10 miles Saturday morning though! Hubby will be at work so I'll...

Salad challenge sounds brill!! I was thinking the same sort of thing, shake it up with peppers, and some new dressings that are low syn. The coloured pasta fuscilli is fantastic for adding to salads, as are boiled new potatoes and sliced egg. Enjoy!!

Barmel - good idea!! I haven't snuck on since Tuesday...tomorrow is weigh day I have fingers crossed for no gain

Hold on hun! Sorry about the gain but it's the lifeline to be 110% on it like a car bonnet!!! We can DO this!! I'm ready for a teeny gain too and don't care...I feel so motivated it's unreal!!! I will do this within 7 days, no brainer!!! Going to run tomorrow, before I start roasting a 12lb...

:( that's rubbish!!!! Ergh I feel for you...but that new week optimism is on it's way :) Another great start to my morning - peanut butter on wholemeal ( 4 1/2 syns totally worth it) and a banana and an apple. I haven't dared get on those scales though!!! Looks like I'm leaving it all down to...

Oh no :( I am all too familiar with your situation to an extent...time constraints...food being out my of your hands...then no chance to run for over a week...you end up feeling worse as the days go on!! Try to just go out and run half a mile if anything...tell hubby you need a ten minute run on...

I caved....! 1/2lb gain. Not bad I guess. Especially as it's the time when I get bloated. Should hopefully motivate me to get my ass in gear the next three days and lose it....*sigh*

I still daren't check out the damage!! Don't need my day to start off in a sulk..... :-/

Yeah I'm sulking as my 1lb loss never came to fruit!!! Waaaah haha. I'm banned from the scales this week...banned myself!! :) I know I've been less than saintly so I've probably screwed up again. I just can't stop eating!!! :-/

Yes I'd like to get out more before work...I don't start until 10am tomorrow so thinking it would be great to get out at 8am and do 3 miles....however I know once I try to get up at 7.30 my bed will take me hostage until it's too late to go! Lol. I have run 3.75 miles tonight so just shy of 4...

Think I've now recovered from Friday and Saturday's runs! Off out for a short 3 miles at 4.30 today as I am now slightly addicted to getting out there at every opportunity! Think it's the good weather I can't help but wanna enjoy it =) =) bring on a long sunny and bright spring and summer!

Just remember...little and often, be patient and you'll notice the distance and speed increase happens as if from nowhere!! On top of the three miles I ran yesterday, I walked 1 1/2 miles this morning and just got back from a 6 mile run. I. Am. Done. Lol!! =)

Hi clareel!!! My best 5k is only about three minutes faster so don't worry...still an awesome time! My advice is get out there every other day or every three days, builds up stamina and endurance. Also have you ever tried fartleks before?? Running for three minutes, walk for 60secs, run again...

Haha don't blame you for feeling smug Lucy it's a run like that which keeps you motivated!! And only by running more does it improve further and further! :) Just went a did a little 3 mile run, first time I've been it since the race. Surprised at a level good pace of 9min 54secs a mile...

Awww Kay thankyoooou! Ahh no I remember now!! However us Mins do not memorise the bad times each other has, we remember the good times you've had and successes! :) :) I know you'll do just fine...and perhaps surprise yourself!! I have a free week to use when my friend comes with me...

Skippadeedoodaaa! Sales show 148...that's FINGERS CROSSED 1lb off tomorrow Felt like I deserved more after only 1/2 syn all day yesterday and Monday...but I'll take it!! Will try do same again today..never know it may either secure me 1lb off or give me another cheeky half ;) ;) My fingers...

Hi Kay, I've had days like yours where I've been angry and annoyed..just wanted to be the old me again in terms of being ignorant like all my friends get to be...to just eat the things I miss and not think all the time 'this is free, this has syns, this is superfree'...it's kind of exhausting...

Hartleys 10 cal jelly pots - 1/2 syn are 50p in asda. Lush!

Got on bathroom scales with one eye open...expecting the worse numbers possible like 150 or 151.... Yippee! Jammy cow over here sees a 148.4...bathroom scales are always 1lb heavier Soooooo that's half off for Friday at moment! I am more than happy with a maintain so all I have to do is stay...

I'm looking forward to going out again! I just want a couple days break, I think I'll stick to 5k on Friday and do a long run next week instead. It won't be long before you're in the mindset I get into, where you get to 4 miles and think 'ahhh screw it, I can do 2 miles more!!' That's the sign...

I think I look strange! Lol =D Soooo...next stop, planning the 15 mile training! ;) how's everyone doing? Enjoying getting out in the sunshine??!

I think I look strange! Lol =D Soooo...next stop, planning the 15 mile training! ;) how's everyone doing? Enjoying getting out in the sunshine??!

Usually a bit of guilt can put you right back on track for a fantastic week. Don't hate yourself too much ok, this is life and it can't always be regimented and 100%. You'll pull it back because you'll choose to :) :)

It was sooo hot today luckily my hoody doesn't retain heat so I was okay, just my face that got a bit scorched!!! Legs started to die at 7k but thank god I didn't stop as I was determined not to! Nothing wrong with stopping or being slower!! We all finish in a comfortable pace so don't push too...

Just got my race time back! 1hr 1min 7secs!!! I'm stunned! Beat my best by over 1 minute! Fantastic didn't think that would happen at all =D

I ate a banana about two hours before I think it settled my stomach!!! So thankful I ran easily and beat all my times!!! Do it!!!! I was do nervous before, mainly as I felt nauseous and was worried I would need to stop...now I'm on a total high, planning the training for the 25k =) =)

All is good!! Finished in 1hr 2mins so my best time yet!! Also fastest mile :) Can't post pictures phone won't let me anymore :(

Hey....guess what...I have food poisoning!!!! I am so so annoyed...I do not see me running this whole race I've been up all night running back and forth to the toilet. Kill. Me. Now :) this has just turned into 'try your best to cross the finish line' =( I've gone a whole ten minutes now not...

Precisely why I don't like the treadmill....I find it borin and easier to stop. When you're outdoors it much harder to stop knowing you gotta get home and may as well run and not walk! :D I bought a pouch of energy shot gel, and also these energy shot gummy sweets!! The sweets are 5 syns for...

Haha! Lucy my food mainly consists of none!!! It's really bad...I run fine...but it occurred to me that perhaps something would help than mid run slump! It's not bothered me before, I guess now I'm a bit obsessed with beating my PB every run I am starting to care about it :P Jennie you're...

I'm itching to go running but I can't be trusted to take it easy!!! Lol. Soooo doing a workout at home tomorrow before the dreaded WI, then a 1 mile interval run Saturday......and that's me DONE!!! I'm off to buy some energy gels tomorrow to take on Sunday...I noticed that I had an energy spurt...

Hi Jennie!!! Sounds like you're doing really well! Just keep up the regular running and you're tolerance will build up without you even realising it....took me months to be able to run more than 3 miles I mentally couldn't push myself. Now 10k is my minimum...it's so weird!!! I run 3 miles just...

Looking at 146.5 on the scales...all is looking good for target tomorrow! Hopefully squeeze it down to 145.5 with any luck.... ;-)

Thank you everyone!!! The 30 day shred was hard...but I was determined and let that determination and vision to succeed help me to carry on every single day with my routine and finish. Worth every bead of sweat that dripped off me!!! I do believe I wouldn't have lost the inches I lost without it :)

Glad no lasting knee damage Lucy! KentCat I hope you get it fixed soon :( I've been nursing a sore foot all day...immediate pain after last night's run...me and my new running shoes don't seem to be getting along, am devastated! It's the top of my foot that hurts...perhaps my laces are too...

148lbs this morning definitely looks like one of those 'heavier in the morning' weeks unfortunately...doesn't really work for me for Friday morning weigh in so I guess I may need a quick run or something fri morning to wake my body up! Still means I'm on track hopefully to a 1lb loss. Not bad...

Wasn't that fast really! Do you know what your pace is per mile?? My best was 9m20sec a mile but finished up at 10min3secs :( definitely shows I need an energy boost at the 4 mile mark so may invest in some energy shots to take as they should help! I have the sweets but think the gels work faster

A little bit gobsmacked post run I dared to get on the scales with my eyes shut...opened them and saw 147.8 staring back at me!! This is after a day of food and water...I'm a little relieved - I was expecting to see 152. Keeping super on plan still I would love to get 146 on Friday!

I just done 6.2miles myself... 1hr 2mins 23seconds...so mad it wasn't faster but perhaps the atmosphere on Sunday will shave a minute off??!! :) Well done Lucy! That's incredible bet you're feeling chuffed! I loooove running alone, my friend slows me down sometimes! :)

I'm too scared to weigh!!!! Fear is keeping the addiction at bay haha. Scared, yet I wanna know the number.....:-/ *dies inside a little*

I hope it was just a fluke!!! Also bad route as it didn't even equate to 6.2miles so that annoyed me too. I've been SO bad this week off plan :( :( I only need to lose 1lb why am I messing this up?? 8 syns today so not done too bad but running hasn't been great. Planning on running tomorrow...

Hi KentCat welcome!!! You'll be doing 5ks as your short run and 10ks at weekends in no time!! =D Lucy I didn't manage it...I tried to do the negative splits....disaster!!! I eventually started walking at the 5mile mark and finished at 6 miles =( annoying!!! Negative splits are supposed to be...

I was expecting it but didn't feel my syn intake was bad enough for 3!! Dunno what happened to my body this month perhaps it was just an off one!! Struggling more and more to figure out what my syns and free food intake should be :-/ ....I'll figure it out soon! I changed my mind, not going to...

I gained 3lbs...over it now...got a 10 mile run in the morning!! =D Well done on your mileage!!! But REST!!! Swelling is never good take a good week off at least or it's going to be made worse. Ice it every 4 hours for a few days, I'd hate to hear that you have runner's knee :-/

148lb is my official number as well as the number on bathroom scales! Oh well...new week new start!

Run in morning...... Erghhh dreading it but need to do it!!! Only way I can make sure 9.30am SW weigh in is accurate my bladder will only truly empty after a run! I am truly bricking it. I'd love to see 144lb on the scales so I'm finally at target but it just isn't happening!!!! I want it...

How did WI go?!!! I weighed this morn too...147.8lbs boooo that's a 3lb gain.....tonight I weighed after full day of food and water and said 148.8lb so I'm kinda hoping my true weight was 146.8lb. I'd settle for that. No matter, up at 8am, weigh, expect 147.5lb fingies crossed. Then go for a...

Gonna weigh at home in morning!!! Official weigh in Friday....eeeeeek =-/

Don't know if you've already gone or not gone, but if you don't feel well you should never run when ill. It'll always take longer for your body I recover. (Read this in my running magazine) However if you feel okay, should still try stick to your commitments as it can be a sticky spiral to go...

Congrats Kay that's fabbaroooo! =D

Hard to know as you do build stamina over time, I think training and weightloss work together =) definitely feel lighter- don't feel frumpy when I run anymore lol. I need to get quicker still I wanna run a mile in 8 1/2 minutes =D

You both won! Just done 5k and achieved beating both PBs! Fastest 5k and fastest mile! 5k in 29minutes 23 secs Mile in 9 minutes 15 secs!

Know that feeling too well, wish I didn't!! However I got on the scales again after my run and a shower and I'm 147lbs. Yay??? Still a 2lb gain at weigh in. Didn't get my post star week dramatic weight drop =( 3lbs has slowly come off from start of last week I guess tho. Holding onto hope!

Three days on super plan ( I call it super plan as it's super deprivation haha) and still showing 149!!! Will weigh again after my run at midday and hopefully it's changed. Super annoying being heavier in the morning >.<

I can't decide what to run in the morning...5k or 10k...perhaps should do 5k speed run and save the 10k for my day off Friday so I can fully focus on it and not worry about having work later in the day. 12 days until my 10k race!

Well done Lucy!!! 2 miles is better than no miles =D Oops...I need to get out there every other day!! I'm falling out of routine, not good! It's laziness too. Perhaps I should schedule more 3 mile runs and only the long 6 miles once a week. Takes too much time out the day. I start work at 10am...

I'm a real sad area and don't leave the house without Nike working, my ear warmers, earphones, heart rate monitor and arm band. Proper geek mode ! =D

http://m.active.com/running/articles/how-to-burn-more-calories-on-your-run VERY interesting read for running and weight loss/calorie burning! Definitely doing intervals every week now...this has inspired me to concentrate in my speed and stop chugging along at the same pace!! :D

Today's pedometer readings!! =) no wonder I'm tired lol Just set up a new challenge on Nike+ to run 50 miles in March lol. Anyone who has Nike just PM me your name and I'll add you in =D even if you don't make the 50 you still get a Nike Medal on the app's trophy page. I love collecting them =D

Ahh thank you. We so badly want it under an hour so fingers crossed! I struggle to learn to speed up I get too comfortable in a set pace I need to learn to push myself and stay at that level...hmmm. I haven't eaten great today either :-/ I can only hope that it's true when they say you burn all...

You had fun then? Jealous!!!! Did my fastest 10k today am so happy. Was a hard one the wind was brutal. 10k in 1hr 4minutes. Got two weeks left to get it to 59 minutes! :D want it under an hour lol.

Best thing to do is gentle stretches throughout the day. Last thing you wanna do is let your knee 'go into shock' with sudden vigorous exercise tonight :) :) hope you get to go, I blooming looooooved when I used to do spinning!!! About to go out and do my 10k....erghhhhh!! Suddenly not in the...

Next time you're in a naughty aisle, imagine all the fatty sugars, bad energy it'll give you and also maybe imagine it's laced with poison or other nasties. I do that when I walk past Asda's fresh pizza counter lol! I imagine maggots and all sorts are rooting around in there. Still kills me but...

Aww hope the knee is better tomorrow!! I feel bad that I deliberately skived off the scheduled run today and yesterday. I've been a hormonal mess! I didn't want to get out of bed was really depressed. However tomorrow is my day off, and committed to another 10k with my friend at 10am so no...

Keep meaning to make your chicken tikka!!! I'll pop to asda tomorrow and get the spice and the yoghurt. However ill end up eating all of it, it will not survive more than a day haha. I wish it would but I can't help but eat bite size chicken!

Downwards yes!!! I'm gonna blame my water consumption for this morning's horror....among the other reasons. I almost gave in to a 10 syn sandwich as success express does make you hungry more often (can't snack on fruit at work every hour!) but I put it back and got the free salmon lasagne...

Kay you've done so well don't give up. You've not let anyone down, we all have weeks like this! It's a new week now, look to the opportunities, no more looking back. :) :)

I've been running 3 times a week for over a year now so it shouldn't make any difference really :( I just can't help but sit and think about what I am possibly doing wrong. And I know my Consultant will just say I shouldn't weigh at home as they will be wrong....but my scales are always 1lb too...

Thinking of you Kay!! <3

Ffs....still showing a 4lb gain. Feel like I may as well have eaten the whole house out of all it's food right now! All this well planning isn't paying off and it's infuriating. This sort of thing makes me wanna give up and throw those bluddy scales out the window!!! =(

Oooh that sounds interesting!!! Let us know how it goes :D I love a good sweat session! Don't really get that running outdoors in winter :D Doing 10k again tomorrow, wanna get it down to 60 minutes. Feeling motivaaaaated!!! *rocky theme tune*

Awww Lucy I felt this peed off this morning too with a 4lb gain for no real good reason!!! It's so infuriating when we have these body blips. It ruined my morning like I'm sure it did you too :( Eat well...because that's the only way of hope for an accurate number again! I'm sure your scales...

Mullerlight 6pk £2 in asda. In offer in tesco too but only works out 2p cheaper in there!

Thanks Kay! Doing 5 syns a day this week too now =) painful but necessary! :) :) hope you've had a lush weekend

6 miles done this morning =) Total: 98.8 miles!! I think I need to rename this thread! Lol Next run is Tuesday morning for 4 miles. Then 6 miles again on Wednesday and I need to try get it to 57minutes total =D need to get to 50 by race day...I'd be ecstatic with that!! All about the speed...

Eeek skipped Fridays run was raining!! But hoping to get out there Saturday. New running shoes need to be tested so am very motivated to get out there! Just hoping this horrific wind calms during the day.... :-/ horrible storm tonight!!!

6 pack babybels £1 in tesco :)

6.2 miles - 10k conquered this morning and my fastest one yet! Down to 1hr 2mins....the aim is to do it in 55 minutes on race day (9th March) Total: 92.8 miles

Im very upset that the have reviewed the Chinese takeaway syns and they're all much higher now :( beef in black bean used to be something like 6 syns it's now over double. Such a shame but makes sense as I always thought it must be pumped with oil! :) Enjoy the Chinese restaurant though...

Did it with great difficulty to get out the door! 3.78 distance intervals Next run is tomorrow - before weigh in eek! That will be a straight 3 miles on the Nike schedule Total: 86.5 miles

Erghhhh it's so miserable outside!!! Don't wanna run :( haha. Need to get out there by 9.30 so got 2 hours to find where I put that batch of motivation... :P Ooooh snow!!! We don't have any :( lol

Forgot to log my 6 mile run on Sunday!! :) Off out to do 3.75 miles tomorrow - my coaching tool picked such a weird distance! Total: 82.8 miles

Yippee, well done Kay!! 3lb loss is amazing :) :) hope you have a fabulous rest of the day!!!

Haha totally!! I am 100% motivated for the next 2 1/2 days. I'll turn into a fruit if I have to!!

Raaaah scales say 1lb gain!!! 5 syns today and tomorrow before weigh in...and off to buy superspeed for lunch and dinners. I will lose 1lb this week!!!

Ahhh must have missed it Kay...thankyou I am excited to make this tomorrow! Already at 8 1/2 syns today so to avoid being a piggy I'll not make it today =D I really want to though!! Haha

Yes go for it Louise!! It's worth it after all the pain of beating the cravings! :-) thank you for being so kind x

Kay...choc orange cheesecake??? Please share!! Does it use quark as I have a pot in fridge I haven't used yet!! =D

*sobs* With happiness! With only 1lb to lose I can't help but do a comparison photo after such a crazy loss this week. So here you have it. The photo that inspired me to lose this weight (horrific!!! I don't have any full length that were most recent) and then this week's photo =) sorry for...

Hey Kay just wanted to catch up with your food diary :D It looks good! Perhaps if you're looking for a week in the future with a big loss you'll benefit from a little syn challenge?? I mean I did 5-8 for 5 days out of 7 so perhaps worth trying that if you wanted?? Pick a week where you are...

No way I'm way too shy for the magazine I'd find that embarrassing! :) :) Yes I can't wait for summer! I'm already trying to get used to not putting 'unique' clothes back on the rack instinctively from last year and before when id never dare try to squeeze into something that's not a tent! :)...

Lost 58lbs / 3st 13lb. So that 1lb to target will give me a 4 stone loss =) =) You can do it!! Look at me I stalled for 4 months then pull this off! Anyone can do it if they're crazy enough haha. Not weighed self today, resisting until tomorrow :)

No idea as I haven't been running at all since Tuesday! I've struggled since the rain has picked up and I've been back at work....running tomorrow morning tho and on Sunday at least! I think it was mainly wise food choices :) I'm sure the 10 mile run Saturday helped zoom me along in some way...

I lost 5 1/2lbs at weigh in for anyone curious who hasn't seen my diary!!! =D shocked! Yup...one lonely little pound left to lose!!! Talk about fast tracking lol!

Lucy I need to lose 6 1/2 lbs! Scales this morning went down 0.2lbs....it may even out to a 4 1/2lb loss tonight. Hoped the 100% day yesterday would push it to 5 but I guess not likely now! Still time to weigh less at 5pm tee hee ;) Aahhhhh I hope my scales match up to SW like they always...

4 - 4 1/2 lbs off still showed on scales at lunchtime today!!! I am praying my body is good to me and stays that way tomorrow!!! For once my weighing addiction has done my mood good...only way it'll do wrong now is if they've been wrong all week and I've lost no weight! :)

I'm weighing in a day early due to work so it'll be tomorrow evening!! Really excited and hoping I get a big loss. Worked my butt off swapping veg in for carbs!!! Lol My food diary looks awesome! However the last two days look very empty I just haven't eaten very much because I've been in bed...

yes i hope your weather improves really soon!! We had sunshine here yesterday!! I was in shock! :D :D I meant to go to the gym to run tonight after work but all i wanted to do was come home and see hubby and eat some dinner. :( So now I can't run until friday...oops!! 5 miles friday 5pm...

I weigh on Fridays too!!! However I'm going to a Thursday group temporarily for the next 3 weeks. I'm a Friday girl through and through!! Not a fan of the Thursday Eve weigh in. Friday mornings are so much friendlier to my stomach....I don't starve and dehydrate myself all day lol =D

Almost Friday :)

Oooh Kay please read tarot cards for me one day!!! =) =)

Awwww I find solo running so empowering...perhaps in the summer I can persuade you to try it...bright sunny weather is motivating =D

Oh nooo Lucy that's rubbish!!! This is why I don't rely on others to run with me and I started it out on my own...the amount of times my friend has let me down! Ran 4 1/2 miles today :) Total: 76.6 miles

I actually bought a book online designed specifically for putting in what you've eaten everyday!!! Can't wait for it to arrive!! :D

Eeek scared...I'm certain it's gonna disappear!!! Let a hope we both do well we are owed an amazing week!

Ahhhh Kay that's bluddy fantastic!!! So proud of you you are my inspiration this week :) :) :)

Hell to the yes!!! Guess what I see on the scales! 146lb at weigh in for Thursday that's what!!! Now....can I hold onto a 4 1/2lb loss for two and a half days???? Oh god please please please!!!!!!!

Kay I hope it goes well for you!! I'm sooo anxious waiting for my weigh in Thursday!! You'll feel so much better after it's over I love that new start feeling !!

Lucy I've ditched the idea of doing 5 miles today lol. You're not the only one!! I'm still a little achy from Saturday, so I'll just make sure I go tomorrow morning instead....ergh just couldn't be bothered I want a lazy day so I'm having it!!

Ahhhh wow your job sounds awesome!!! What an amazing opportunity :) :) I've now signed up for two races, it's amazing how committing to races actually motivates you to be on track. Failure is not an option! :D you'll do fine, just keep your goal in sight and 2 stone off in 10 months is not...
