Well I think I over ate yesterday but I'm back on track today. My feet are killing me as I've just come off a shift of standing up for 9 1/2 hours straight (which I'm not used to!). The exercise DVD hasn't seen the light of day yet though. I shall venture to the gym tomorrow to do some weights...

How's it going? I've stalled a bit the past few days. I think I might add an extra 'fast' day a week (Might be a bit of a challenge but I want this to work!). I am really enjoying the healthy eating and am enjoying eating proper food again, I've been eating processed rubbish for so long. Might...

Hi Law Ram I'd like to loose around 2 stone by the end of November, so I'll join you if I may. I haven't been involved in any challenges on here before so this is a first time for me. At the moment I'm doing 5:2 and healthy eating, by which I mean cooking food from fresh rather than eating...

Just to say I persevered and I've built up to doing 2 fast days a week eating just 400-500kcal during the day and it's no problem. I have found for me the trick is at about 4pm eating a 9 bar and then have a piece or fruit and then at about 10pm I have a couple of slices of ham. I have lots of...

I would disagree that 'Yoga and Pilates seek to reach much the same goals' but I do agree they can complement each other well.

They're both quite different. Best thing would be to do one class in both and see which you prefer as classes can really vary. Pilates is about strengthening your inner core and anyone who says it's more easy isn't doing it right, lol. It can take a few weeks at pilates to master locating and...

Ah that's maybe why I wasn't losing weight when I tried the 24 hour fast then because I was still eating 500kcal in the 24 hours. Would make sense. Off to look at ladybirds diary.

I have looked for Eat stop eat before but I can't find it for free anywhere. Tried the split day fasting for a few weeks but didn't see any weight loss from it. I am considering dropping the 500kcal and not eating for the day. It's after I eat that I get hungry.

Well I still didn't manage it this week got to 10pm end of shift and hunger got the best of me. Doh! Will try it again next week.

I would love to get my pace up, an imagine power hill walking is great exercise, personally at the mo I am only allowed to walk at a gentle pace. I can't wait to start running and working out again, going a bit nuts at the moment. Not sure the gentle walking is doing much for my waistline but...

I'm 5'2 and I'm good in it, but anyone smaller than that I think would be saying it was too long.

Ahhh that's a great idea, wouldn't have thought of that. I'll give it a try it on Thursday.

That's a good idea, I'll stock up on plenty of celery and cucumber. I think I might do Thursdays with a lot more protein than normal as well as I find it makes me feel less hungry.

Well from the perspective of being a bit heavier and then slimming down/getting fit it is quite good to be able to say to clients that you've done it yourself, so you can relate to them and they know you've been through it too. I was just a mad keen amature and I found (after looking around...

I am under a consultant and chiropractor who are monitoring my injury and giving me instructions of how and what to exercise as I go along. Strict instructions to only do 'Not too fast' walking at the moment. They know I'm chomping at the bit to get back to normal so as soon as I can start doing...

I think it's only that I've done it once already (on the Monday) and the Thursday therefore feels more of a struggle. No difference between my daily activities on the two days, although maybe am less stressed on the Monday coming off the weekend. I tend to not get hungry until 3-4pm so I have...

I am a 36 F, when I ordered it I though I bet it will be too tight across the bust, but was pleasantly surprised. It's got cups in which give enough support so that nothing looks droopy! And it stayed put when I swam in it. I tend to wear it without the strap. It's got quite a bit of length in...

I've tried a couple of the clubs where you attend a meeting once a week, but never found they did anything for me. Never felt I had anything else in common with the other people who went, who were often a lot older. I also never found the information they handed out re nutrition, ideas etc...

I'm going to be rather naughty and have a take-away this evening. Only because it was my birthday last week and I planned to have a birthday take-away but didn't because I came down with a horrid virus. But straight back to it tomorrow morning!

I love fruit. At the moment my favourite is peaches, but it changes depending on the time of year. I also love apples, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, gooseberries and I had the most amazing pineapple when I was on holiday in Malaysia. It's spoilt me for pineapple in the UK :)

I've bought this swim suit for the summer and I am so pleased with how flattering it is I though I would share as I highly recommend it. Beach Collection Red polka ruffled skirt swimsuit- at Debenhams.com I am usually a size 14 but have bought the 12 here and it fits like a glove and doesn't...

Wow makes me think I need to pull my finger out to lose my 2stone 11 lb. Amazing story, very inspirational. Thank you for sharing. x

Though if I'm not careful I'll end up with great big arms and spindly legs :D Happy to help if I can but am sure there is plenty on this site for me to learn too. Ouch, back injuries are very painful!!:eek: It's horrid having something that is constantly hurting and all you can do is give it...

My town isn't that big, I shall have to walk I circles :D

I bought the book from amazon for about £3. It has the exchange programme in plus lots of recipes. Obviously I got a used one not a new one...

That's the one, where you eat x serving of protein per day and x serving of fats etc. Glad to hear it worked so well for you while you were doing it. I just wondered as there are so many people and different diets on Minimins if someone else might be doing it here, but maybe not.

Yes I'm trying two but I struggle to make it through the second fast of the week (I use Mondays and Thursdays like in the book) with out eating more than 500kcal.

My guilty pleasure....Britain and Irelands next top model. Starts next week.

I guess I just don't feel that much is happening when I'm walking, I miss my sweat and endorphins! Although it is mainly about food, I worry without exercising I'm losing muscle mass. I like to feel toned and strong too. I think I'm just gonna have to walk very far!

Going to go for a 1 hour walk every day from tomorrow. Also pledge to do my knee strengthening exercises twice daily.

I have a UserCP link in the red message tha appears automatically on the top of the screen if you have less than 20 posts, I'm guessing the link disappears after 20 posts. It says it's in the top left corner, try the settings tab maybe? It is very easy to get lost around here, I look at things...

This is a hard one. Tron - me and little bro constantly had it out of the video shop Never Ending Story - scary baddie The Dark Crystal - very scary baddies Probably those! My least favourite one was Watership down - it scared the beejezus out of me!

A big ole fire breathing dragon. Heheheh. A physchologist would probably have a field day with that one :dragon: I will probably never have a reason to use that emoticon ever again!!

I know this is a problem I am going to have too, just because my boobs have gone from a perky 32c to a floppy 36F since I've put weight on. I can already see the stretch marks and I know they will just deflate as I lose. (Already deflated a little due to hormonal reasons - long story) I am...

Hi Pollywotsit, Don't know how you found yourself but I found I can get into all my posts if I go into User CP and then click on the little yellow folder in the left that's called subscriptions. It then brings up a list of all the posts I made. Hope it helps! X

I have been interested in the 5:2 diet since the Horizon programme last year. Having tried it a few times I can only seem to manage 1 fast day a week, which may be doing me good medically but doesn't result in any weight loss. Has anyone had the same problem and does anyone have any...

I love exercise so much it ended up being my job. The key is to work out smart rather than every day. You need a programme that will work out different areas of your body each day so you're not over loading yourself. Rest is as important as working out as that is when you body repairs all the...

I think a lot of people feel like this when they first join. Most gyms do an induction either one to one or with a group and show you round everything. If you haven't already book in to have a tour of the facilities before you become a member, have a word with the person who takes you round and...

Due to a sports injury I am only able to walk at the moment no running, gym, dancing or swimming allowed. I've always been an exercise enthusiast and have not been in this situation before. Does anyone have any experience of just using walking while they are losing weight?

Hi Wondered if anyone here is doing the Quick Start Programme, WW from the 80's/90's? Decided I'm going to start it. Very much like the look of it.

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while and thought I would take the plunge and join. I have 2-3 stone that I would like to lose and also wish to get fit again. My user name is because I used to have a body like Hayden Panettiere and I want it back! She is my inspiration at the moment. I'm...
