Yeah, you're right it does take more planning. Luckily my nan does alot of the cooking in our house so 4 or 5 out of 7 days I have a home cooked meal, the other days I eat out the freezer so thats usually processed crap and I ate alot of crap at work, i've been known to have 3 donner kebabs in a...

Id like to do a marathon one day but after walking 9 miles on Tuesday I haven't got any plans to do it soon haha

Well at least that's one thing......suppose the odd joke will occur, I get it at my work but they would. Never go as far as to move my food lol so I'm ok with it. How you doing on your diet?

I love it in summer, don't bother me getting up extra early to go out but in winter I'm terrible so this year I either need to get out and do it or buy a treadmill lol

Love HP Sauce, bit like marmite you either love it or hate it lol

Hey all, I've just got back into running, I stopped in October because it got cold lmao. Now im back, usually run 5K, but occasionally chuck a 10KM in.

Anymore news on the jokes at work? Have you managed to stop them?

Hey, So this morning I had Scrambled Egg & Turkey Breast on Toast with HP Sauce Lunch: Rustlers Rib Microwave Burger & A Pasta Snack Pot So far think i've drank about 1.5lt of water so doing well.

Good luck with it. I've got to be determined this winter to makesure if I don't have a treadmill by then that I get out the house lol

The only diet that worked well for me was Slimfast but I can't be on Slimfast the rest of my life lol So at the moment if I do have a cheat then whatever, end of the day I'm not going to go the rest of my life never eating junk again, just got to eat smaller portions and less junk Thank you...

I really want to lose mine, it's not the heaviest I've been, I was a 40" waist at one point and over 16 stone. I eat well at home as my nan lives with me and she does a lot of cooking so my evening meal is usually pretty good but I snack on chocolate and crisps and eat a lot of crap at work...

Breakfast is served Scrambled egg & turkey breast on toast with HP Sauce :)

I'm trying to lose 1st12lb which will bring me to 13st. I'm eating healthier.....can't say I've cut all the rubbish out but hey we will see and then I'm running as well

Yeah I've been the same recently, just getting back into my running now as haven't been properly since October. Need to be more strict on my diet though, I'm kind of like eat what I like and go running which doesn't always work lol

Haha yeah that's about right. I'll be getting some early morning runs in when she arrives no doubt, or late night haha

That's a very good point :) even better. So how's your weight loss going?

Morning, So nice short week at work this week with it being bank holiday :) Plan to get a run in after work today.

Morning all, I'm new to this thread! So what diet are you all on?

LOL kids always want to join in. Expecting my first in June :) little girl so busy doing the nursery at the moment

I saw a woman jogging the other day with a pushchair, never seen that beforw

I don't own a treadmill at the moment I go street running but I'm hoping to get a treadmill before the winter as that's when I really struggle to get motivated

Well done! I'm hoping I can stick to it this time. Haven't been running last few days, just started back at it and overdone it on Tuesday Took my dog to the groomers, which is quite far from our house so I usually wait in the car save driving back and fourth so I thought whilst he's being cut...

Just ignore then, it'll be even better when you can say "right, I've done it without your support I've lost the weight I wanted" One thing though I'd be firm and tell them not to touch your food, you don't want there grubby hands over your dinners!

I have created a diary in the weight loss section if anyone would like to follow my journey Or make your own diary, they're good motivators

Morning Guys & Girls Right this is the photo that originally started it all This was taken August last year, as you can see I've got a pair of boobs to match my sisters and also looks like I'm smuggling a pillow aswell. I went to my local leisure centre and got on the scales, 15st4lb not my...

I'm not new to MiniMins but I am returning after about 6 months of winter laziness. I'm not on a strict diet as such, just cutting down on the junk food and getting my running shoes on. Previously I weighed 15st4lb but through exercise and eating better within about 6 weeks that was down to...

Hey all I'm a hobby baker and here are my cakes :)

Drinking plenty of water won't make you lose weight but it will stop your body retaining as much water.......if you don't drink much then the body retains water for when needed, this can make you look bloated and bigger than you really are, drinking 2-3l a day stops the body holding so much and...

Start now! No one will laugh and if they to the ate narrow minded so f*** them! Quicker u get going the quicker you start losing

Just had plain phili tonight, was delicious

My dinner tonight, chicken breast stuffed with Philadelphia wrapped in bacon with salad and corn on cob hmmmmmmmmmm!

I'm not doing WW or SW or any of those. All iv done is cut out takeaways and beer, cut down on sugary snacks and stopped eating processes frozen foods like pizzas chicken nuggets etc For dinner I'm having home cooked stuff like spaghetti bolognase, fajitas, stir fry etc and iv switched from...

Thanks :) must be the running lol. Hopefully ill be into 13stones next week. Haven't been 13. Stone something for absolutely years lol

I was meant to weigh myself on Sunday.......but after maintaining the week before I really didn't feel motivated to get on scales, finally got round to it today and woot woot 7lb down, I'm 4lb off the 13s. I can't remember the last time I was 13st something lol

I usually weigh on a Sunday but last week I maintained at 14st10lb so this week i really couldn't be bothered to go, I decided today I needed to see how I am doing and BOOM 7lb down woot woot

Last week I maintained at 14st10lb this week I'm 7lb lighter haha 14st3lb, I've last 1st1lb in about a month woop woop

Muay Thai is a brilliant workout, they are some of the fittest and strongest fighters in the world! Brilliant self defence too

I'm not doing c25k but I am running lol

Hey Tano I just noticed your in my challenge on nike+ :)

Morning all. I just got back from a 5km run :)

A mare is a horse! It's just a way of calling someone stupid, mare just adds to the insult!

Slim bores though :)

I'm off the booze as well lol we're a bunch of sobers lol

Nope maintained last week! Lost inches though so can't complain lol

Doing ok, had a treat day last weekend and went out for a mix grill and Ice cream sundae and tonight were ordering pizza but I've been good all during the weekdays for the last 3 weeks and yeah still going strong on running, 6.2miles other day :) meant to go this morning but legs still abit sore lol

Haha did you have a good holiday?

I started running about 3 weeks ago

At the end of the day people lose weight for all sorts of reasons, the main reason is they are not happy in themselves! I've referred to myself as fat before and Im only really a couple of stone above my ideal weight but saying I'm fat is just a way of saying I'm overweight. Whether you have 1...

Hope your having a good time Tano

Any success stories from people who started running to lose weight?

I've just recently started running, hope to do a half marathon next year

Also stretch well after your exercise, it'll help with the aches the next day

Any exercise is better than sitting on the couch watching television lol

Nah, I reckon it's just a no loss week that's all, see what next week brings I guess

It is harder than losing but when your trying to lose its kind of annoying lol

This week bit strange I haven't lost anything, I've maintained though so not a gain :(

I've maintained this week, so still 14st10lb bit disappointing but that means work extra hard next week!

Had a cheeky run this morning before I go for my weigh in lol

I haven't counted any calories lol I've basically cut out beers, sugary snacks, butter and cheese, switched to whole meal bread and eating more fish and chicken, I hAve lost 9lb in two weeks, today will be my third weigh in so see how it goes I have preferred healthy eating to diets as I don't...

I don't go the gym anymore I tend to run and cycle instead. In 45 minutes I burn 330 cal cycling and around 500-600 calls running

Don't worry about what other people think, especially if they don't even know you!

Kickboxing is brilliant, a real full body work out, will seriously tone your stomach too Sport karate is also good and Muay Thai

Keep it up, it's not a race! Walking is better than sitting on the couch ;)

Running will increase muscle size in your legs as really that's the only muscles that are taking strain! One of the best cardios to lose weight though!

They will be don't worry lol What you feeding them?

That is actually a very good point

Didn't go in the end going to weigh tomorrow as usual. Mixed grill was absolutely gorgeous, followed by an ice cream Sundae, OMG 2200cal that meal was......need to get a serious run in tomorrow I think lol

I'm having a night off so pub grub for me :)

Yeah that's the plan lol otherwise tomorrow's weight will include the 2000cal mix grill I'm going to have tonight Well done on the weight loss :)

Bet Tano will have a nice time though and a deserved week off the diet! Yeah I'm at work today :( lol. Having a night off the diet tonight though as going out for a pub grub dinner :) :) thinking about weighing myself today instead of tomorrow though

Morning all, just pulled off a nice 3.7mile run before work :) How is everyone else today then

Enjoy your holiday! Have a great time, eat and drink lots......diet will still be there when you get back have a week off!

Hey all Breakfast: all bran Lunch: vegetable soup with whole meal pitta breads Dinner: not sure lol Going for a pub meal tomorrow so I'm having a treat day, can't go a pub and have a salad haha

Don't know lol, just never bothered to do one!

Evening all Breakfast: boiled eggs and tomato on toast Lunch: Spagetti Bolognase Dinner: Basa fillet, potatoes, corn on cob 2.2 mile run this morning :)

Breakfast

Fruit and Veg is fine. I tend to have my breakfast then have an apple about 2 hours later, then my lunch then I might have another fruit snack then my dinner Everyone's different though, fruit and veg is really good for you, 5-a day and all that

I'm going for smaller losses as I know it'll stay off. I usually crash diet and lost 2 stone in about 5 weeks but always put it back on as soon as I come off it. Think only time now ill do a crash diet is just before I go on holiday lol otherwise ill do my regular healthy eating and exercise. I...

Good on ya. Iv been slacking abit this week, only done a short run this morning, couldn't get motivated :(. Hopefully ill have lost some more weight when I weigh Sunday and that should help kick start me again

You did better than I would have. Just out on my morning run, not impressed today though, crap run, can't get motivated and I have a stitch grrrrr!

I always have Poppadum a Chicken Chat Lamb Madras Half a peshwari naan Half a Keema naan Chips :)

Good to hear, its amazing really......with how intelligent and amazing the human body and brain is suppose to be you'd think it could distinguish between hunger and thirst lol. I try to drink a glass of water before I eat a meal as i tend to eat less, because I eat quite quick I tend to overeat...

Thanks. Day off yesterday so went out on the bike for a bit, found out 45 minutes on my bike burns 330 calories, 45 minutes running does 600 calories......think ill be running more than cycling lol

Bloody hell, good girl :-)

I've got Jacket Potato with beans but ive put far too much pepper on there lol :-(

My weigh day is Sunday so plenty time to burn off some cals lol

I hate rain lol

I run Early morning and don't have time to eat before hand so yeah I run on empty stomach and hasn't done me any hard Last 2 weeks I've lost 9 lb

Lol I will probably get one eventually

I'd like a treadmill, mainly for winter as I don't like running in rain and it rains alot in winter haha

Cycling is lower impact than running but running is pretty much the number 1 cardio exercise. A good one is swimming as it works your whole body but supports you at same time so very low impact

I only burned 330 in 45minutes, did a 45min run the other day and burnt 600 so think ill tend to go running more than cycling lol every little helps though

I've done a 6mile bike ride today, plan to go running tomorrow morning but will see, legs might not want too lol

Both been on bike rides lol

Just remembered had a sandwich lunch time so having bacon egg tomato and beans on a plate instead lol

Boiled, better for ya!

Lol don't know, I'm having a bacon egg sandwich for dinner though hmmmmm can't wait

Just come in from a 6.38 mile bike ride and managed to lose 330 calories along the way :) #jellylegs

Congratulations :) brilliant news

Good luck with it, I'm doing it alone as well and going to my local leisure centre to weigh as my local boots the scales are always broken lol

Congrats

You may do but at the end of the day weight loss isn't a 100m sprint it's a bloody marathon! You will fall off the wagon from time to time so don't worry just try not to cheat too often lol

Put it down to a bad day and carry on as normal! Everyone has bad days, your not going to never eat junk food again your whole life! Don't worry about it

I want to try that? What's the recipe please?

You'll get there keep it up! This is the most I have ever lost as I usually get bored after first week but I am determined to get to my goal weight and maybe even further

Here's some food porn for ya

I don't tend too, no but you do have to taste the buttercream. Il upload a coupe photos later of cakes I've made :) As long as no one minds?

Chicken coated in peri peri powder coriander and cumin with salad rice and corn on cob hmmmm

I love baking, done quite a few cakes, I would post them on here but might get in trouble for taunting people lol

I am quite enjoying this healthy eating didn't think I would as I'm not a big lover of cooking which is why I eat out the freezer so much lol but no more! Luckily I haven't done any baking recently but I do have my cousins 21st cake to do next month and my girlfriends birthday cake to do as...

Iv got chicken legs and thighs with peri peri powder coriander and cumin hmmmm with rice and corn cob

Plan for today breakfast - cornflakes with sultanas Lunch - 3 slices wholemeal bread with strawberry jam Dinner - no friggin idea lol

It's never too early lol

I might have porridge today. No running today., having a rest! Tano you need to get your ass on your Nike+ lol

Slow is still better than nothing. I'm don't want to lose mine too quick as I know it'll pile back on so I'm hoping that slowly will help it keep away lol

Anyone watching The White Queen, the OH and my nan love it so I'm downloading songs for my IPhone as at the minute I tend to run in silence lol

Congratulations on starting! You'll get there Good Luck with it

You'll enjoy it, it good but not that scary really

...

...

Me and my OH love them too! The Conjuring is good so far you should watch it when you can

Yeah the new scary one. It's meant to be based on a woman's real investigation, it's the same woman who investigates the amityville horror murders, apparently she's got 100s of investigations noted down and she sells the info and then they turn it into a film

What you doing rest of today, I'm just watching The Conjuring :)

Haha nan cooked it, she does amazing Sunday roasts

Iv just munched on a Sunday roast hmmmmmm

When I do it, I just mix veg and pasta in an oven dish add whatecer sauce i want then cover the top in cheese then bake it in oven

It's good to drink plenty of water as alot of the time the body mistakes hunger for thirst

I'm actually not doing slimming world, I'm just doing healthy eating and exercise but the healthy eating forum doesn't have as much going on as the others do lol How are you all doing on your loss?

Hello all, you've got a new member, just joined the 14s today after losing 6lb this week! :)

You'll get there, I've been doing crash diets and different diets for years and never stuck to them the one day someone took a photo of me and I looked like a whale so decided enough and have stuck pretty strictly for 2 weeks now and been exercising too

So pleased, gives me motivation to get out on the running and cycling lol, not today though, pouring down (not quite that dedicated yet) haha

I weigh on a Sunday, lost 6lb this week :)

6lb lost this week, with the 3lb off last week I'm now under 15stone woot woot!

6lb lost this week so I am now into the 14s :) :D

Think I'm going to have a go later, was so tired this morning so went back to sleep plus still got ankle pain and don't want to mess everything up and give myself an injury lol

Ill be out the door in 45mins cycling :), can't go running today, ankles hurt! Now I'm chilling in bed as my stupid body clock got me up at 6am lol

Yeah plenty of water, alot of time the body mistakes hunger for thirst

It is this morning I'm stuck in the office, out most of the afternoon though so that's better

......and I'm at work lol

Got my 2nd weigh in this week and hoping to be into the 14s. Did a 5k run this morning and I'm going for a swim tomorrow :)

Spag Bol I think :)

Good on ya, that's dedication there I'm just eating a bowl of porridge with sultanas :), I go running before breakfast which really I shouldn't but I don't have time to eat wait and hour then run lol and I won't go running in the evening as its cuts into my own time then, I don't class before...

Yeah, he hasn't been running yet so think we're goin to set better challenges as I'm a morning runner then he's evening runner. Next challenge probably be to do maybe 15miles in a week so at least we both have a fair chance of winning then lol

Check that out, all before any of you are probably awake. Argh now I've got to get ready for work, might be a difficult day, may have to fall asleep in one of the properties lol

This will be me after my run haha

Ha! We shall see lol I need to do it rain or shine or ill lose my challenge

Lucky you it's pouring down here lol

Just checked the weather forecast for tomorrow looks like its going to be my first run in the rain lol

Itl be worth it though lol

Haha! Now that's food porn lol I'm craving some beers lol I'm being good tho staying away from them though until I'm close to my goal weight

That looks bloody lovely :) :)

Friends

Going up the sister in laws then yeah crap TV and chilling lol what about u?

Lol sorry, ill do that next time I have them how's that lol

Sounds lovely :)

Haha my dinner was lovely :). Gutted I've got work tomorrow, need to get a 5k run in before I go, been challenged on nike+ and I don't want my first challenge to be a loss lol

Awe they're lovely :) I'm the only person local to me who has them, occasional the neighbours shout me to say there's a ferret in there garden haha

I'm doing healthy eating as I don't feel so restricted or like I'm on a diet plus I will have a few treats here and there! Iv got chicken fajitas tonight with salad hmmmm

Iv got spicy chicken fajitas hmmmmm

Morning Miss :) lol Iv had fruit and fibre cereal for brekkie with banana and sultanas (seems to be my favourite at the minute) I've got vegetable soup with brown bread for lunch Not sure on dinner yet

Wow 10miles walking, I should get a pedometer be interesting to see how far I walk a day, don't think it'll be too far as my job is only really driving from house to house and walking around it so not that many steps lol

Manager

Criminal

Insurance

Twilight

Haha I am having a 2hr swimming session 8-10 Sunday morning so give me credit for that? I do need to be more strict on my exercising though, my diet is going really well for once but in letting my running slack abit

Darkness

Decided to leave the run today, legs are killing and iv got to go out leafleting with the boss so I suppose that'll be a workout if I walk fast lol

Theme park

Fingers crossed, think she might come out of care all together, lets face it she will always have her qualifications so could get back in quite easily. Shame really cause she's really good at her job, she left and her manager held her job for her in hope she would go back, and she did lol Well...

She's a nursery nurse but she's been there 6 years so think she wants a change, she would like to a teaching assistant but not alot of those jobs come available here lol must be the perks lol

My OH is fed up of her job but pays the bills lol

Concrete

As long as it pays the bills I suppose lol I'm in Birmingham

Just think I move people in for a living lol I know what you mean lol iv got 4 people moving in tomorrow, maybe 5 and another on Saturday

Builders

I bought my house last year, took a while for us as well I wanted it done quick as stamp duty was free then for first time buyers, I ended up getting the house 2 months after the stamp duty relief expired so cost me 1500 ;'( was gutted lol Where you from then? What's your OH do

Con merchants :)

I'm not drinking either :(. I'm an Estate Agent, I deal with Lettings though rather than Sales

My friend did p90x which is similar and done by same people she lost loads and really toned up but she said it it seriously hard work alot of the exercises she didn't actually fully complete

You love us really though ;) lol we have some good uses lol

Haha I can probably imagine lol

Nope, your all strange creatures lol but us men would never be without ya lol

I think it's a woman think to put yourself down even if you do look good!

Haha yeah that's a good idea, I remember being back at secondary, we had about 6 drama supply teachers in the space of 2 months lol we brought 2 of them to tears! Some teachers were such push overs whereas others we wouldn't dare speak unless asked too, although the really strict teacher usually...

I don't know what to have lol

OMG Bet its great having all the holidays off, I miss my school holidays lol what do you teach? What age group? My cousin is primary school teacher.

Haha sorry no lol yes she's got me well trained.

You look good too!

I pick her up from her bus stop yeah, I finish at 5:30, her bus gets her there about 5:50 so it works out pretty well If I've got appointments close to her work around the time she finishes I just collect her from work but that's once in a blue moon as our work places are so far apart lol

Lol no ill still get up at 5:45, just means soon as I get back from my run ill have to jump in the car and take the OH half to catch her bus to work instead of having a shower first lol I'm lucky I only work 1.5miles from our house but she works a 45min bus journey away and her bus stop isn't...

Check out my healthy bowl of cereals, makes a change to the usually Chocolate sugar puffs lol

I get up at 5;45 to go for a run, at the moment I'm going for 30min runs but eventually I want to be upto 1hr lol

I have to go in the morning because when I get home from work I like to have my dinner, sort my pets out then chill and watch TV, if I had to exercise on an evening I would never do it lol whereas mornings all I do is get ready for work so it doesn't interfere with my own time then lol

Got a little 2 mile run in this morning, I'm knackered #unfit lol

I love Christmas! I can't believe it's August tomorrow

Oh definitely :)

Think I might treat myself to a bowl of rice pudding tonight as well :)

Well done :)

Lol well I plan to get a run in tonight with the Nike+ app lol just need to get some friends on there to compete against lol, my friend added me but he does marathons and stuff so he's really super fit so not much competition at the moment lol

Treadmills do have some good settings I'm jogging so doing it for weight loss and fitness as I'm hoping to run a half marathon next year but we will see lol

Normandy

Haha I don't like exercise or the feeling after lol but I've found if I do it in the morning I tend to be more awake that day so that's one thing for me lol

Not sure on tonight but iv got stir fry for lunch

Rain

I'm trying to drink about 6-8 glasses of water a day, seem to drink more at home than at work

That's the way to do it, moderating is key!
