I'm going for 30lbs this year! Hopefully before Summer! Good luck everyone :)

Exercise wise I was doing the 30 day shred for about 3 weeks, I then gave up on that but went to the gym 4-5 times a week. I've let it go this past week due to freshers week at uni so probably had a considerable gain but will be starting again on Monday to try and shift 1 more stone :)

Hi both of you, when I started my lower back was hurting a lot during crunches to the point where I couldn't do more than 2/3 but I now do them on my bed (which has a fairly hard mattress) and no pain at all but definitely still works!

I have just over a stone until my goal so ideally 2lb a week but i'm barely losing 1 at the moment :( Starting to lose motivation! Oooh well done! Yours is going fantastically :D I'm struggling with the shred at the moment as I'm working around 11 hours a day 7 days a week at the moment so don't...

It is really difficult! Although I think the strength exercises are harder than level 1 they seem easier to maintain, perhaps my balance has just improved though! Cardio is definirely a killer, and all the planks exhaust me can't hold them for very long at all! How are you finding level 1-...

Yeah you do need weights as a lot of the exercises (especially level 2) require them!

I'm tempted to continue with level 1 as well, really struggling with the lunges but think I will attempt level 2 later and see how it goes!

I've only got 2 days left of level 1 :( dreading moving on to level 2! But can see a big difference in my stamina so far which is good! Which day are you on now sparkley?

I don't find the starjumps too bad, or the skipping. It's the strength and abs which get to me! I really stuggle with all the lunge movements, can't see to master the technique! Do you take any breaks?

I've just completed day 2! :D really struggling with the abs though, I find the bottom of my back hurts during the cycle crunches? Stops me completing them all :(

Well done, you look hot! :)

I understand, I had 5 stone to lose (which may or may not be a large amount to you) and I really dislike my body. When I look at other larger girls I never judge them or consider them 'disgusting' but it's about not being comfortable with yourself. If you're insecure with your body no matter how...

It's important to not give up when you have a bad day. Just accept it's happened and start fresh the next day :)

If you really go for it, so a healthy balanced diet, a few treats here and there, exercise about 5 times a week, cut out alcohol you could lose between 1 stone and a stone and a half :)

Sounds like a good idea

I comfort eat!

I'd also like to have some body confidence in bed!

I was just so unhappy with my body, want to enjoy university as much as possible

That sounds just like me :( Best solution for me is keeping busy most of the day and then drinking water when I want to eat. Has helped a bit.

I know it's ridiculous :( if you have a look online you might be able to find a cheap gym around you somewhere! As a student I pay £22pm and there was a £15 joining fee, not too bad really as includes classes, swimming pool and a fitness instructor for 4 sessions to personalise your workout...

I joined slimming world last year and found it helped me (unfortunately I still gave up though!) but it's best to attend the meetings. I wanted to have a loss each week just for the group announcements! Good luck :)

I lost 4lb this week! :D

No I definitely agree with you! I think it depends on your general frame, but I've got quite big bones so I doubt I could go smaller than a 10 due to hips and things! But my sister is taller and has been an 8/10 and it was fine but she's got tiny bones! We have a similar amount to lose to get to...

I posted a while ago with my 2 stone loss pic and thought I'd update this as I think it's more visible now and I'm a lot happier with my body. I've still got a long way to go, but I'm now the lightest weight I have been in over 3 years- YAY! Me at 15st11lb. And me now at 13st5lb. Even...

I'm a about 5'9! :) You could probably be an 8 on top and 8/10 below and still look healthy, any smaller and you may not as you are at a healthy weight already. I'm aiming for a 10, at the moment I'm 13st5 :( and a 12 on top, 14-16 on the bottom. Hopefully gonna be at 11st10 by the end of...

Just over a week ago my dad attempted to end his life, naturally this has been a tough time for me and my family. But I've found I've been comfort eating like nothing else, this has been a problem for the majority of my life, I want to end this reliance on food during tough times before I ruin...

Well done! :)

I've now lost a stone and a half (Yay!) and when I look in the mirror I can now see I have lost weight and it's visible to others. Definitely great motivation! Sorry about the pictures, not the best for angles but I think there's still a visible change :) Before- After-...

you look lovely, well done! :)

Well done :)

Amazing! Well done :)

I'm going to give it a go too!

I bought an ultralean one off amazon, the strawberry flavour and I really like it.

I went from constant boredom and therefore a desire to eat everything I possibly could all day to now never being hungry.Today all I've eaten is a banana, 2 oranges, a chicken salad and a packet of doritos. It's become an effort to eat now and it's not healthy. Any way I can change this?

I'm aiming for 12lbs..Wish me luck!

Well done! Hopefully I can achieve similar results. Only 4 1/2 stone to go...

Well done!

Bleeding Heart Square. It's a crime but sooo good! :)

The perks of being a wallflower.

I can't afford the weekly fee for slimming world :( But I'm planning on just cutting out the crap and avoiding carbs in the evening.

1.To stop avoiding mirrors 2.Increase my self-esteem 3.To give me the confidence to socialise more 4.To stop being the 'fat friend' 5.To feel sexier 6.To make me feel comfortable naked with men 7.To fit into old clothes 8.To prove my family/friends wrong 9.To be healthy 10. To increase fitness

Try doing a bit more exercise on these days! :) I use exercise just to justify a chocolate bar every few days. Whatever motivates you eh? :P

I had my last fat day then too! Have been doing well so far. Good luck :)

Looking for someone in the Launceston/Tavistock/Bodmin area to go swimming or to the gym with. I can travel to any of these places, I just need motivation!

Have you tried drinking a glass of water instead? Or perhaps keep yourself entertained, I find I eat a lot in the evenings out of boredom.

I've just started my calorie counting diet and want to lose about 4 stone by the beginning of October when I go back to university for my second year. I feel like my weight (which was 15:11 up until about 8 weeks ago) has really held me back at uni though, i've not been very outgoing due to...

You've lost so much weight! Can I ask how you've managed to do it?

Steak and salad :) yum!

I usually have either granola and yoghurt for breakfast or porridge. For lunch/dinner it's normally homemade soup, chicken or prawn salad, grilled salmon with a tomato salsa (homemade), peas and carrots, wholegrain pasta (lunch only), steak and salad. I basically eat anything, but substitute...

I'm currently 15:3 and hoping to be in the 14's by next Sunday! Just going to take a lot of hard work this week. Good luck everyone!

That's a crazy weightloss! I'm going to have to drink lots of water now! well done :)

Thanks, this has really helped! I need 1340 :)

you look amazing! Well done :) How have you managed to lose so much? I'm aiming to lose 4 stone in 5 months so any tips would be great

Hi, I've just joined this and I'm hoping to lose weight whilst at uni too! I do struggle to eat healthier as on a budget it always seems the unhealthy food is the cheapest! But it's definitely possible :) just have to eat the healthiest we can and do lots of exercise. good luck!

Wow! So inspiring :)

Well done! You look beautiful :)

Congratulations, you look amazing!
