    The time is now!!

    So. Didn't manage an update yesterday. Was busy during the day catching up on housework, then unexpectedly had cousins boy over in the afternoon. He was picked up rather late so I was rather knackered when I eventually got to sit down. Still ate OK. Today :- - breakfast - meal replacement shake...

    The time is now!!

    Mini update. A little while ago I did some squats, lunges and stretches in the kitchen while waiting for the microwave!! Aaahhh!! I only did about 20 squats and 10 lunges as I wasn't sure I was doing them 100% right but I feel so much happier for doing them. It's ridiculous really. I exercised...

    The time is now!!

    So. Day 1. Not as great as I'd hoped. I didn't get any kind of exercise done today as 1) last day of the summer holidays for my oldest and I was trying my best to spend time with her as well as the baby (though she kept escaping to her bedroom to brush her dolls hair with a ton of detangle...

    The time is now!!

    Thanks. I'm going to try my best to at least plan tomorrows meals at some point today. My oldest goes back to school on Wednesday so I shall spent some time on Tuesday trying to plan further. To make it simple I think tomorrow I will have porridge for breakfast, and soup for lunch. Just need to...

    The time is now!!

    Thanks littlemiss I think my main plan will be to stick to calorie counting. If I try something too restrictive I know I'm really going to struggle to stick to it. And ideally I'd like to be able to cook the same, or virtually the same, for at least my youngest (oldest has school dinners. Also...

    Thanks Ali. I haven't looked at diet doctor. I think low carb or low gi would be good for me as I also have PCOS.

    Even though I am not at my heaviest, I sure feel at my worst!! I ache everywhere and walking slowly up the stairs leaves me knackered! I reached just over 16st following the birth of my first daughter in 2012. I lost about 2st before my wedding the next year, but over the course of another...

    I am back and oh so focused on my weight loss this time!!! I will be frightfully honest with you all, as I'm sure a lot if you know where I am coming from. I spent most of Sunday evening upset at the state of mine and hubbies sex life, wondering why he doesn't initiate stuff much. Well to be...

    I have fallen spectacularly off the wagon, and have regained most of the weight I'd lost. Today's failure was due to me spending too long at work, and not taking appropriate provisions!! Ok Ok. So today's failure was again due to lack of planning!!! But now I am much more up to date at work...

    I've got about 3st to lose before I weigh the same as I did when I fell pregnant last time. But it's comforting yo hear your periods came back after losing just 1st. Kind of makes me wonder if it's the weight loss that makes period come back or the regular exercise??

    Hi, I'm just wondering how long into your weight loss journey / how much weight you'd lost before your cycles resembled something like a normal cycle.

    Which diet am I actually going to stick to!! Help Desperatly needed

    I do think you need to be realistic - calorie counting is probably the only thing that is going to work for you right now, with your restrictions. WW and SW both want you to incorporate high fibre foods, as they are filling, and naturally help you to eat less food. Have the hospital not referred...

    Journey to a lighter, and more importantly healthier, me!! :-)

    I'm not sure if it was sitting down doing the menu plan last night, or if it's because I have remembered to take my Metformin the last day or so, but I have been a lot less hungry today, and eaten far less than I have the last few days or so. All good :-)

    What do you use MFP for; your calorie counting? Or do you mean something other than My fitness pal? I'd suggest you try it that way for a week, and see how it goes. Whether you feel fine, how much weight you lose etc. It might not be quite enough calories to effectively lose weight, but maybe...

    1st weekly weigh in = 2lbs lost. Not a bad start, but not as much as I had originally hoped. If I keep on at this rate I will only lose just short of 2st by my dress fitting, and I want to do just over 3st loss at least!! Will be stepping up a gear this week!

    13 weeks to go!! Rosemary Conley and Tae Bo!!

    Well I definitely recommend RC if WW doesn't work out for you. Much easier to follow when you are out and about. Haven't done pics yet (damn printer isn't working! typical). Will try and do that tomorrow either at home or my mum and dads. Think the prime place I am going to put my pictures, and...

    13 weeks to go!! Rosemary Conley and Tae Bo!!

    Ah well I'm a daily weigher at the moment - perhaps I shouldn't do that, but I feel at the moment that if I don't weigh every morning that it's too easy for weight to go back on!! Perhaps what I need to do is just focus on making sure I stick within my calories for the day, and exercise, and...

    13 weeks to go!! Rosemary Conley and Tae Bo!!

    So - I have slipped up a little on my weight loss diary, whoops. My daughter went for her first sleepover at my mum and dad's, so I was spending quality time with my other half and didn't go near the computer. Still get a paper copy of my diary though. We had a nice meal in yesterday (co-op...

    13 weeks to go!! Rosemary Conley and Tae Bo!!

    Thanks for that boost Stef2009 - when you put on that much weight so quickly it is a bit mind boggling to begin with, but when you think about it, it must have been water. I can't have eaten and therefore stored that much fat in one day! I quite like my diet plan - fairly easy to follow (not...

    Woohooo - I can have hot chocolate made with Nesquik! yay! so if I need a choccie/sugar fix at the end of the day and I have milk allowance left (I generally do) then I can still have my chocolatey drink at bedtime. :)

    13 weeks to go!! Rosemary Conley and Tae Bo!!

    Still on a slight bummer after weighing this morning-nothing worse than thinking you have been really good, and then not see the results. Also, my 4month old daughter is going to stay at her nanny and grandad's for the first time tomorrow night, and I am not looking forward to it! (longest we've...

    13 weeks to go!! Rosemary Conley and Tae Bo!!

    Well annoyed this morning -got on the scales to find 2.25lbs have gone back on! Huge disappointment!! I thought I had been good yesterday, but I ate dinner at my mums and obviously her Enchiladas weren't as good as I thought they were (it was mainly chicken and a tomato sauce - how bad can that...

    13 weeks to go!! Rosemary Conley and Tae Bo!!

    So, half way through day 3 and still going well. Have already done 45mins of exercise today, and when I got on the scales this morning, I'd lost 1.5lbs!! 2.5lbs down already - whoop whoop. Feel better for doing the exercise - my skin looks a bit better for it as well. And my daughter seems to...

    13 weeks to go!! Rosemary Conley and Tae Bo!!

    I got off sofa and exercised as soon as baby fell asleep! Did 45mins of interval training, so again more than I planned. Felt really good afterwards. Feel shattered again now. Early night I think! What is that smoothie for weightlosscoach?

    13 weeks to go!! Rosemary Conley and Tae Bo!!

    So, first day went well! I did more exercise than planned (45mins session of TaeBo instead of 25mins) and I had just 1151 calories. I weighed myself this morning, and have already lost 1lb! woohoo!! I need to find a little extra motivation today to do the exercise - feel quite tired and at this...

    13 weeks to go!! Rosemary Conley and Tae Bo!!

    Yes a serious plan!! I've left it a little late! lol I was hoping to start diet and exercise soon after having my little girl, but best laid plans and all that! And every diet I've started before I have not stuck to for long enough. But this time I have a couple of reasons to really go for it...

    13 weeks to go!! Rosemary Conley and Tae Bo!!

    Hi all, I am getting married in June and I very quickly running out of time to lose weight, which I absolutely must do as I ordered a dress at least one size smaller than I currently am (I had given birth only 8 weeks before when I ordered my dress, and at the time I thought I had a ton of time...

    Trying to lose weight with PCOS, planning a wedding and TTC!

    Thanks! Just a quick note to say, the diet is on hold for a while. About 8 months to be more specific. We discovered that we're expecting over the weekend - I'm about 4 weeks and we are over the moon! Trying to get it to sink in at the moment! xXx

    Losing weight with PCOS, planning a wedding and TTC!

    Hi, Although I joined over 2 years ago, this is the first time I am actually using this forum, rather than reading the odd couple of posts. I'm hoping to gain as much support from here as possible. You see I have a lot of weight to lose (4-5 stone!!), and have at least 2 incredibly good reasons...
