Thanks for the tips elsbels! Unfortunately I never got the hang of reading music, and was very guilty of writing the letters next to the notes :o I'm sure I'll get it this time around!

Sorry to hear about your granddads health, I hope the surgery goes well for him. Eugh, I can definitely sypathise with the sh**ty colleague, sometimes I think some people were just put on this earth to rile you up and be a pain in the behind! Considering what you're going through at the moment...

Welcome to the new joiners to the challenge! :D good luck in your goals!

For me, according to the height-weight charts on the internet a healthy range for me can be anywhere between 12 - 9st so I think when I get in that range I will see how my body feels and go from there. :)

Hi and welcome! Regarding your plateau have you worked out your BMR or base metabolic rate? This is the calories you need to consume for your body to complete its regular functions. It is very rare for it to be under 1500 and to go under your BMR can cause your body to go into starvation mode...

Hi Lottie, I am on my second implant which was inserted at the same time as the first one was removed. I do think it is one of the known side-effects that it can cause weight-gain. For me personally however I don't think it has affected my weight. I have been able to lose roughly 4-5 stone...

This is actually something I've been wondering too so this thread was very useful for me :) I will probably wait until I'm at a lighter weight though as I dont want to risk damaging anything. Glad to hear you are enjoying couch to 5k so far, what day are you on? x

Wow! you sound like you're in such a good place :D Im a choco-holic and it is definitely a problem when there's chocolate in the house and no matter what i say to myself one or two a day just doesn't happen and I end up eating the whole thing in one go. :p Great idea to re-gift them.

I would love to have some chickens I've been told they have their own little characters! Not very commonly kept around here, are they very noisy?

Such a cutie :3 I love tabby cats! Congratulations on your weight loss as well! only 10lbs to go! x

Definitely. The family pet beagle means I walk more often than I would otherwise. Yesterday me and my partner took him for about 1hr 30mins which we would otherwise not have done. Also meant time out together enjoying the sunshine :)

Hi Misswilma14 and welcome back :) I hope you are getting on well with your new plan which sounds very sensible. I'm starting today on a journey to eating healthy but taking it slowly, for me I eat mindlessly, emotionally and just all the time so for the first week I want to eat just 3 meals...
