6 days a week with sunday off, but sometimes use it to do some light exercise.

Ok so I had my fortnightly weigh in on sunday. Guess what? I STS'ed. :) You're probs wondering why I'm happy lol. Well, even though my weight stayed the same, my muscle has now gone up to 31.2% which is in the high category so that's one of my goals done and my bodyfat is now 28.8% (only 0.8...

So it’s now 4 months on, and I now weigh 125lbs, probably less as weigh in day is this coming Sunday. 2 of those months I spent on holiday and though I was scared I was going to put on weight (as my eating habits weren’t good), I actually ended up losing about 10lbs, waheyy! I ended up gaining...

I use Shock Absorber. By far the best sports bra out there and I find it more comfortable than my other sports bras.

10lbs to go, but concentrating more on getting the body shape/size i want rather than the scales. Not concentrating on BMI either as i think that's a load of rubbish tbh. Hopefully will get down to a size 8. 5stone lost so far. Aiming for 6. ;)

Hey that's weird, i'm almost 100% sure that february wasn't the last time i wrote in this, in fact im certain. Wonder what's happened... Anyway, update time (sorry for not posting for a very long time). I've now lost a total of 66lbs so 1/3 of my body weight. That's 30kg wow. I'm very pleased...

Yeh i did. I mean i didn't stick to what they said for example the meat, but i ate alot of fish, oats and wholemeal bread which i already was eating beforehand and i'd already restrained myself from eating junk since october so i haven't touched a single crisps, cake, biscuits, cheese and all...

Ha yeh, before I heard of Insanity, I read about P90x and saw my brothers doing it and they had some amazing results (they did it to bulk up rather than lose weight). Back then I did one or two workouts of P90x and I found them doable but quite hard. For example in Plyometrics I'd have to reduce...

I finished insanity last week and my body is more defined than when i started, also lost some weight. I'm now planning on doing a hybrid of P90x and Insanity, so P90x this week, Insanity next week and so on. I've got to say P90x is absolutely nothing compared to Insanity. The workouts that I've...

Yeah definately no point in injuring yourself unnecessarily. I lost approx 6lbs or so on it so far. I'm sure it's more than that, but this weeks weigh in wasn't accurate as i got a gain, but it was due to my time of the month. (Last week itself i lost 4lbs!) So gonna see what i weigh next week...

It is as hardcore as you think lol. I currently do this and im on my recovery week at the moment (so week 5). Next week im gonna be starting phase 2. I used to do the workouts before and mixed them up with P90x and TurboFire, so not really following the plan (but still getting a good workout)...

Thank you Yeah I did. I used to ask God to make things easier for me and allow me to be able to stick to things strictly. Thanks to everyone for your kind words x :)

Hi there. I'm Angel (no thats not my real name but it suits my purposes for now;)) I'm currently 19 years old, and will soon be 20 years old. I'll tell you a little about myself: My mum always used to kind of drop subtle hints to make me realise that I was overeating sometimes and it wasn't...

So I said I'd come at the end of February to update. And here i am, 148lbs now. :D A couple of lbs to go till I get to a BMI of below 25. But i don't go by BMI anyway. A total weight loss of 52lbs now. :) It's been an okay month for me, I hope March is even better. Will take measurements...

Haven't updated this in a long time oops. Anyways, i didn't really stick to exercising everyday or even for 30mins each time in fact. ARGH. Never again will i set such a challenge, as it just hinders my progress, as it stresses me out and puts unnecessary pressure on me. And the fact that i work...

Okay, getting to 150lbs by end of this month is not looking too realistic. I really need a kick up the backside. I haven't stuck to 30mins at all, though i have been trying to do at least some form of exercise everyday. Really getting lazy and making up excuses. ARGHH. I've decided to change...

Ok so update time: I was too busy to write in this last week during weigh in day on monday, but shockingly i ended up with my consistent losing, and lost 1lb, so that was pleasing. I did stick to my challenge, in that i have exercised everyday since monday, but I haven't always done the minimum...

You look absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn't be surprised if guys were checking you out. ;) Very well done hun, keep it up!

So after reading Elaines thread about the 31hr challenge, i thought to incorporate a similar challenge of my own to ENSURE that i don't mess about this month and to ensure that i get the full benefits. No more rest days missy, at least not for this month UNLESS something untoward happened that i...

I think that's an absolutely fantastic idea. I'm tempted to join you lol, but i'm very prone to taking rest days due to my muscles getting sore after some workouts, and never do more than an hour a day, so virtually impossible, but good luck to you hun :) EDIT: You know what, im gonna hold a...

Thanks hun. Tomorrow is also the dreaded weigh in day for this week lol. I'm thinking of switching it to monthly weigh ins or fortnightly, but dunno if my patience could handle that.

Good luck elaine. :) I only did about 4 sessions this week. Not entirely bad, but certainly not good either. I had my own reasons (aka monthly) but even that is not reason enough i don't think to miss 3 days especially as i promised myself 5/6 days minimum and the full 7 days if i could. I'm...

Another 1lb gone. I only did one session though, which is appalling even by my standards and this time i have no excuses. I could blame the weather, but it's my own fault. I started today again though, and it was a good workout. :D I've also updated my goal weight yet AGAIN lol to 120lbs this...

Well done hun, you look absolutely gorgeous!

Extra 2lbs gone. I did no exercise at all last week, and none either so far this week as I've had proper early starts for work last week and late finishes, and I've been unwell. Planning on getting back into exercise today. Surprised that I lost 2lbs though. Still that's a total of 40lbs so far...

2 stone to go, lost 38lbs so far. Personally, it all depends on whether i get to goal size, not goal weight. So if i get to goal size (a loose size 10-12) prior to goal weight, then i'd be more than happy.

Thank you very much elm. :) I lost just more than a lb this week, so I'm 162lbs now. :) I thought i would gain or STS since i started my monthlies and didn't do much exercise wise, so very glad that i lost 1lb. I see what you mean about 1000 calories, but i really need it that strict and i...

Forgot to post yesterday, that i lost just less than 1lb, so takes me to 163lbs now. :D

2lbs loss this week. :D Woot. Means my second mini goal is completed.

If I have to be truly honest, I don't stick to their plan, I do whichever workout I'm upto (sometimes it's the really hard ones, other times it's the 'so and so' ones), and I've been doing it on and off for a couple of months now. It's only been since October where I'm properly dedicating my...

Increased my goal weight to 130lb, just in case i dont get to goal size, as my goal size is most important rather than goal weight.

Not beating myself up too much, but went way overboard with calorie consumption today, but only because it was Eid. The only day so far during the past month or so that I've had more than 1000 calories so don't feel too bad. Will try and cut my calories the next few days to make up for it, but...

I'm really not! My body is super tired by the end of some workouts, and tired by the end of some warm ups (hehe), but I keep going not because I'm fit, but because I'm really determined to shift all this fat off lol. When I skip some of the stuff, I try and make up alternate moves, so that I'm...

1lb gone. Not much, but I was pretty strict last week, oh wells. I'm 1lb closer to my target so all is good. :)

I totally agree! You do have to be quite fit already as it's really not for the faint hearted. I used to think this was easier than P90x as I love cardio, but when you take a long break from exercising and then try to get back to it, the insanity workouts just get tough and then it's back to...

@sunshine - hopefully, because i'll be very upset if it doesn't shift lol. I've done my thigh measurements, need to measure myself again in a months time and see if there's been any difference. @LVLLT - is that what you've found so far? I see that you're very close to goal... have you noticed...

Firstly, can i just say a massive congrats to everyone. You've done so well, and it's great to see all these success stories. I just wanted to ask (mainly to the females), when did you start seeing a difference to your thighs? Like right now, I'm seeing that my tummy has gotten smaller and my...

I lost just less than a pound last week. Not anything significant, so doesn't really affect the lbs, but still, a loss is a loss. Hoping to lose 2lbs this week. I hope to get to 160lbs by the end of the month. :) I'm really hoping that my legs start shaping up by the end of the month too...

I ended up putting on 3 lbs the week before last, but guess what? After being strict and proper motivated, I lost that 3lbs and an extra 3lbs, so 6lbs for last week, woot! :D I'm now 167lbs. So happy. I took out potatoes completely away, i took out cheesey stuff like lasagne, i took out crisps...

Oh no's. I think I'll put on 4lbs but we'll have to see tomorrow. :( I'm doing alright exercise wise but it's my eating that's letting me down most of the time. I've got to be more strict, but I'm kind of struggling, what with work and everything. I wish i never started my job in the first...

Woot, lost a lb so that takes me to 170lb and i now have a very high chance of getting to this months goal of 75kg so hopefully i can do it.

I can't believe it. I lost 1lb last week yet i only did about 2/3 sessions of exercise. I didn't manage to exercise on sunday as was so tired, so decided that i'm only gonna exercise mondays-fridays whenever i have to work on the weekends and if i have no work then exercise my original 6 days...

I'm assuming the above post has been made in error. Anyways, i promised i'd write in this today, so here it goes: The blunt truth is that i failed badly. I don't think i'm going to STS at all. I think i'm gonna end up actually gaining. I'm quite mad as whenever I'm doing quite well it always...

Ok so i think im gonna be STS this week as haven't had a chance to exercise apart from twice as have just begun working. I usually exercise at about 8pm so gonna have to schedule and do a routine as i work 5-9 weekdays and 10-5.30pm/10-7pm weekends. It's been hectic this week as i just started...

Arghh, I should really stick to writing in this everyday. Sorry peoples, just keep forgetting. Good news: Lost 2 lbs last week, so goes to show that fixing up everything was an excellent idea. Also made some slight changes to my workout plans. I'm hoping that by the end of this week, I lose...

Oops, forgot to write in this yesterday even though i was planning to. I did plyometrics yesterday on insanity, boy did it kill. I can't believe i ever said that insanity was easier than p90x cos it really isn't. At least with p90x it's easy to continue and complete the session. With insanity...

Hi there. I assume you mean you want to do a 45 min fast walk, 30 mins cross trainer & 30 day shred ALL on the same day? I also hope you have the determination and strength to be able to put up with it, cos if i did the same thing each day, i'd deffo get bored lol. If that is what you want...

Ahhh STS last week, damn! My fault really, was a bit bad. I'm back on track though, a bit. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I had a rest day today. I did plyo and legs & back yesterday. Legs kill today. I set out a personalised schedule/timetable and it looks like this: Week 1 Monday...

Lost that extra 1lb thankfully. Hasn't been a good week exercise wise (only did 3 sessions), but been good food wise. I'm fasting at the moment to make up for missed fasts which is why I haven't exercised since saturday but hopefully i'll be able to tomorrow. Hopefully i'll be able to feel...

Right. So a disappointing month for me. It was Ramadhaan, but even then. I managed to put on 3lbs, which is really very weird considering that when I checked my weight last week, it was at the 78kg mark. I managed to maintain throughout the whole month and even lost a lb or 2 during one of the...

It's very difficult to measure my progress because of fasting. Therefore I won't be posting any updates until Ramadhan ends. I'll be making a new start date mid September (the end date of Ramadhan). I'll still be exercising and trying to limit my eating. To make it easier, I think I'm going to...

Ok, I know i decided to do the routine how it's supposed to be like for each workout's calendar, but cos it's Ramadhan, it's going to be so difficult, so I'm still picking and choosing the easy ones for now as I'm fasting and can't do too much. I did legs and back again. I know i shouldn't do...

What she said basically lol. Perfectly summed up. If you have a lot to lose, you'd definitely lose more each week than an average joe. But all I'd say is, although it may be enough, would you stick with it? By that I mean, people tend to buy treadmills and bikes, because they think it's easy...

Ok i did legs and back yesterday again. Again didn't do the pull up bits, but I managed to find my brother's resistance bands yesterday, so you know what this means? Yep. :D I can now do the pull up exercises using the resistance bands. (I'm so rubbish at pull ups and scared haha). My buttocks...

Hmm. I'm not sure which I recommend to do first. I think I take everything back about what I said on Insanity lol. It's definitely not much easier than P90x. (This I'm saying after doing a couple more workouts haha) I'd say they both have the same level of difficulty, but both so different from...

Well done! You're doing fab. & a 6lb loss in less than 3 weeks is fab!

Ok, i think im gonna be on that time of month soon, as i've just weighed myself and gained an extra 1lb, so must be due to water retention and also fasting is coming up, so need to try to exercise as much as i can for that. Also hoping that part of the weight i gained back has been muscle...

& yes those extra 2 lbs were dodgy as i've just weighed myself and they magically disappeared haha. My tummy has gotten smaller, but my legs are still huge.

I did plyometrics today - the P90x one, and oh my did it work me out! Much much harder than Kenpo x which was very easy and like a walk in the park. Managed to gain 2 lbs since I last weighed myself which was quite a while ago. I'm hoping I can lose these 2lbs by the end of the week hopefully.

Well done with the weight loss. Can i just say though, that 8 stone is really on the low end to be aiming for. The healthy chart shows on average what the range is, so 8 stone would be on the low end. As someone who is 5'4 myself, i know that the upper end is about 10 stone, so anything between...

I used to go on the treadmill doing HIIT, but that's boring, so since July I've started doing Insanity, and just recently I've started mixing a bit of P90x with Insanity. They're both excellent workouts, but not for the faint hearted. I'm literally dripping in sweat by the end of it.

Really? I thought people said P90x was harder. I tried a few of the P90x workouts before. I especially love the ab ripper x and the yoga, but the rest is so hard. I mean the fact that it's very muscle based as in you use a lot of muscle so each day your muscles are sore. I'm not saying Insanity...

Wow, i just saw your stats too lol. How very bizarre haha. All i can say is, SNAP. :D I'm healthy eating or trying to anyway lol. Most days I get it right, a few days i be a bit naughty. Have you tried out any of the insanity workouts yet?

I did it for a bit last year, did level one and 2, but my fitness levels were already up a bit so I didn't get the same benefits that for example a beginner would get. I stopped for a bit and re-started with level 3 which was much harder than the first 2 and that does work you out, especially...

I've been doing so good exercise wise. (The Insanity workout program is intense!) My food intake has been getting better and better. I found that sometimes I have gone off the wagon a bit and eaten something naughty, but recently I've begun to re-learn how to restrain myself. About the Insanity...

Ok, I'm restarting. I've maintained so far but I've had so many things happening at once, that I just haven't been doing so well. It's so demotivating though, because when I know that I've been doing well exercise and food wise and go on the scales, they always say something different. My...

STILL haven't reached my goal. I'm not too worried though. I've just been having a hard time so I need to get back on track. New beginning from tomorrow.

Unfortunately for me, I lost quite a few pounds, and just when I thought I was doing good, along comes the time of the month. (Which = TEMPTATION) I was quite good, but not good enough I guess.

More than a month since I last posted and I have to say it's been dire. No progress whatsoever, no self restraint. I've been eating the wrong sorts of food all the time and need to work my way back up again. Going tricky so far, but I reckon I can do it. I'm not that fussed as I realise it could...

Hmm, so that's what? 6 months or so gone till I started. Really disappointed with myself as I reckon with that much time, I lost so little weight and should/could have lost more. But new year, so new beginnings and new start. Still exercising, eating needs to be sorted out a bit. But good start...

Wow! Amazing achievement. Well done, you must be proud. :D You've inspired me to continue and not mess up. I've been doing so awful lately that i just feel like crying and this has motivated me to continue and strive for my perfect body. :)

Oh i was fasting for religious reasons. :) Anyway good news, I FINALLY have reached my first mini goal. 12 STONE. :D

Ahhh, not making much progress. Been STS since i dunno how many weeks! All my fault though, got nobody else to blame. Need to give myself a kick up the backside and get myself back into shape and into a proper fat loss zone, so starting afresh tomorrow and hopefully just hopefully it'll be a...

Gone right back in. So glad. Feels good again. Food could be better though, but calorie intake is much much better.

Ahh, im kinda struggling :( I know i said the next time i'll post here is when i get to my first mini-goal, but im keep on having STS and then when i'd lose a lb or 2 i'd put it back on again. It's been my fault though. I'm exercising but not most days as im getting lazy on some days. Although...

Ok i've decided to next post here when i reach my first goal of 12 stone. Let's hope that doesn't take too long. So bye diary for now, shall be back soon. :D

Gosh i love exercising. But today i ended up exercising on an empty stomach [fasting basically]. But it was in the morning, so no difference to when im not fasting. I did the usual, HIIT, weights, lunges/squats. Whilst taking a shower, i got a bit lightheaded and fainty and would have fallen...

Not really. ;) Good motivation lol, although size 10 is mini too haha. Well done though btw :)

Hey. I know stretch marks can't be removed totally just the appearance reduced which is all i want tbh. I have them everywhere: stomach, arms, some on thighs etc. I bought the bio oil and pure vitamin e oil recently so have started using that. No difference so far, but it's only been a few days...

Bit of advice, never ever exercise whilst fasting lol, although i probs will again tomorrow. Gosh so knackered, even managed weights, although was a bit too hard still managed 2 sets, 6reps of each using 5kg dumbells. Only 4 lbs left to lose till my first mini goal reached. :D Man i actually...

Hahaha. Yeh shoulder presses are evil. I find them the hardest of the lot. I was doing 2.5kg at first, but they became too too easy as i was doing 12 reps or so, 2-3 sets, and it was only hard on the last rep of each set whereas i heard you should be looking at doing 5-8 reps, and if it's too...

Nothing really to report for today. Had a rest day as my leg muscles and arms were aching after weights session and lunges/squats. I need to improve my strength as i struggle with 5kg [in each hand] when im doing shoulder presses, too bloody hard. End up only doing 5 reps, 2 sets, and the 5th...

You're doing fab hun. Keep at it. Doing workouts definately does do it's damage or job shall i say? ;)

Yeh you're right, which is why i always always get worried in the weeks where i lose 3lbs. I will be even more worried during the last few weeks if im still losing the 2lbs per week, as i expect it to be difficult in losing 1lb per week let alone 2lbs. Personally, i don't really care about the...

Another exercise session done today. Felt great yet again. Eating habit has gone back to how it was thankfully. :D

Thanks for the reply. I understand now. :) It's just when i see small numbers i think 'i must not be putting 100%' even though im knackered at the end of my 25-30 min HIIT sessions. I still seem to be losing the 2lbs a week, so i guess that's good, and my body has deffo gotten smaller. Thanks...

Exercised today. Ahhhhhhh, so happy. :D Feels great great great. I'm hoping to increase it once 2 weeks is over. :)

I understand what you're saying justin, but i don't think the calories burned during exercise are insignificant. I know quite a few people that burn upto 1000 during exercise. :S so as you can see im slightly confused and wondering if im the one that's doing something wrong.

Thanks, but that still doesn't answer my question of what is enough when it comes to exercise? Burning 800 calories or burning 400? Or does it really matter as long as there's a deficit both from exercise and food?

Well done btw. I find it amazing how people can lose over 100lbs. I can imagine it must of seemed like a long journey, but well done for sticking to it. Hope the rest goes as planned too. :)

Although i started exercising about 4 weeks ago, i had to start fasting again to make up the fasts that i missed [e.g. time of the month lol], so im currently not exercising for about 2 weeks as i also gotta fast for an extra 6. Anyway, im currently contemplating whether i should start doing 9...

Have been thinking about this ever since i started really and nobody's really been able to answer it properly: Basically, whenever i exercise, i always burn about 200 to 400 calories [before it was about 500 or so]. Obviously im not counting how many calories i burn after the exercise. In terms...

Thanks. I lost 1 of those pounds mysteriously so it's only been a 1lb gain throughout the fasting. :D But personally i don't crave sweety stuff as much as i crave the bad carbs like chips lol. I'm back in business now. Started exercise today. 15mins HIIT [running at just over 6mph and walking...

Gained 2 lbs so far. Not bad considering how much i ate haha. Oh and i didn't manage to exercise, really hard to when you're on an empty stomach! I should be starting back up next week around about Tuesday or so as fasting ends on either Sat or Sun. Really looking forward to it! :D Can't wait...

Yeh it's great. :D My weight loss success so far has been spreading about like flies. Everyone is asking me what i did lol and little do they know that the secret = exercise and healthy eating. I took before photos and I sometimes compare myself to them and i can see some change. I'm planning...

Okay haven't been exercising for past few days or so and wont be for the next month or so as I'm fasting due to it being Ramadhan. :) Still, im at a good stage now and know I wont go back to my old ways and im still all set on getting to a good size by early 2010 or sometime in 2010. :D Oh and...

I always do my exercises 6 days per week so planning on doing HIIT the same. By resistance work what do you mean? Free weights and all that? I'd say im at a pretty decent fitness level right now. Typical week for me generally was this for past 3 weeks or so: 40 mins on treadmill, 10 mins brisk...

Thanks for the answer. The intensity is pretty high. I haven't done any of the legs/shoulders/arms/back etc. yet, the only 2 that I've done were Yoga and Ab Ripper X, and those were pretty intense, most intense workout i've done actually. I've seen my brothers do the rest though due to wanting...

I'm currently in the process of doing full on HIIT (run, jog, walking and all that rather than just walking/jogging). And I wanted to ask you for advice on what the best strategy would be. For example, how fast do I run? Should I do this for 30 seconds, and then 60 seconds walking like I do with...

Ha, made me smile. I know diet has a major factor in fat loss, but without exercise, it wouldn't be effective if you see what I mean. But yeh you're right. :)

Okay, so update: Bad news? (lol there's always some bad news), I was too damn lazy that I hadn't exercised for the last 5/6 days or so (let's just say a week), I was on my reds and well it just felt too uncomfortable to exercise, and well stuff had happened for the previous 2/3 days, but I'm not...

The thing with crunches is, there are so many better alternatives.

Okay, quick update: Lost 3lbs this week. Major crisis. I know alot of people on here would be chuffed with such a result, but personally I'm ticked off. Yeh would be happy if it was 3lbs pure fat, but I know it must mean that it was either mainly water loss, or a mixture of fat and muscle loss...

YouTube - Plank It :) I done it for the first time yesterday (properly with my back straight and my butt not hanging in the air lol) and it kills. Uses all your strength lol.

Sorry just need to ask, I thought 'exteme fat loss' was losing in excess of 2lbs per week. Wouldn't losing half a stone in 5 weeks actually be ideal as it's not fast and is gradual, averaging about 1.4lbs per week? :confused:

I actually agree with this, all of it really. I mean everyone, women and men alike, tend to have this mentality that you have to be a certain weight to be accepted socially and everything. I think the reason why personally I'm aiming for 145lbs mininum is the fact that I was around that weight...

Okay, right now, I have a load of stretch marks like all over my body (my shoulders, thighs, tummy just to name a few). I know you can't completely get rid of stretch marks and that they'll only fade if anything and you can get bio oil and cocoa butter and stuff but I was wondering, if I was to...

Ha, funnily that sounds like something my mum would say except she's absolutely clueless about calories. Anyways, I've only ever ate less than 1000 the once because I felt so guilty. And I don't think I did any exercise that day so I didn't really see the harm in it for just a day to sort of...

Update: Indeed I didn't really slip up. But yesterday I did no exercise. :S I did 30 day shred and 20 mins LIIT/HIIT & 10 mins brisk walking on Thursday though. Anyway I was worried about what would happen weight wise, and I lost a further 2 lbs this week. :D Gonna do 30 day shred and 20 mins...

Oooerrr. Bad day, bad day. And i think i'll get out of this depressed mood once I have it off my chest. So I was planning on exercising. Bad news? Didn't get to it. I can make many excuses and reasons, but none of them are valid enough. Point: I was just too lazy today. Need to learn from this...

To be perfectly honest, I'd say there's like 1% influence from everyone else, and 99% I'm doing this for myself. I don't want to look in the mirror and think 'Omg, i'm enormously big' nor do I want to have to go to the larger sized sections of stores [such as in new look]. I want to be able to...

Didn't manage to do LIIT/HIIT. :( I'm stupid lol, I did the workout first whereas I should have done the LIIT first. Oh wells. The 30 day shred workout was better this time, as in I actually felt it, but that was mainly due to the fact that I increased the weights. I just wanted to give it that...

Past 2 days have been fab exercise wise and food wise. Did Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism workout on sunday. That was a killer and got my heart rate up in no time and also sweaty. But I've decided not to do it anymore, because it's mainly cardio and has no weights involved. It was good yes, but I...

Thanks Justin, that made me smile. :) I did some LIIT as you put it yesterday for 10 mins [jogging for 30 secs and walking for 1 min] and then brisk walking for 10 mins. It was far too easy though, as in I know i could have done more, but i didn't because I wanted to have as much strength as...

If your muscles are aching, then you should consume something that has high protein in it. Also allow your muscles to rest. They need time to heal and regrow. Don't worry though. It's a good thing and normal. It's known as DOMS. It's normal when you've begun to do something new or changed your...

Okay a few updates, not so good ones and good ones: On tuesday, was having a bit of a bad day exercise wise but finally got up my bum and did a bit of Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism. However, I didn't do all of it as my mum and brother were in the room with me and I don't know how many of you can...

Update on yesterday, forgot what I ate, but I remember being quite low on cals. :S Didn't exercise yesterday, had rest day. Was supposed to have rest day on saturday, but I decided to exercise instead. Today: 1hr exercise, gonna do weights later. Food-wise: Kiwi fruit for brekky, no lunch, had...

You look pretty hot. :P Well done :)

The way I see it, if you don't want loose skin, lose the weight healthy and steadily and not quickly. Also do loads of toning up to aid the skin to 'snap back'. Toning will also help in the addition of muscle so the loose skin is filled up. But I think the major factor is definately how quick...

Did 40 mins brisk walking today after cleaning the toilets. Had dinner: Mixture of sweetcorn, red pepper, kidney beans, tomatoes with 4 wholemeal bread slices. Low on calories but oh wells. Snacked on kiwi fruit after. Decided that healthy eating needs to change a bit. Gonna reduce greatly...

Update on yesterday, had some cod for dinner and fishcake too. Cannot remember my exact daily calorie intake, but know that it was below 1200. Drank like 1.2 litres in one go. :O Obviously drank more than that throughout the day. When it came to exercise, I was really proud of myself. Told...

Anyway, went shopping today. Bought some clothes which are a bit small so that they motivate me to exercise. I actually truly believe I can do this. Gonna go exercise in a bit yay. :D All I've eaten today is a kiwi fruit for brekky and nothing for lunch because been out all day. Drank some milk...

Yeah I guess it would be difficult. When did you start exercising? I think that's what people tend to forget: It's not the weight loss that matters, it's how comfortable you are with the result in terms of the outcome of your body. For instance, you may get to your goal weight but could be still...

Yeah I really can't wait for the day when I start running. I was watching Biggest Loser today on youtube [Australia's first season] and I saw them giving it their all on the cross trainer, and I just thought 'wow, even at their biggest they weren't even lazing about but gave it 200%'. Really...

Heya, back again. My back totally ached so didn't do no exercise today. My calorie intake is quite low too, but I'm feeling quite sick [because of the monthly evils, yeh those ones :P]. But don't really mind. I hate it when I'm on my reds [as I'll now refer to the periods], because it just puts...

Okay even though I said I was gonna eat straight after, I couldn't because my sister and sister-in-law were cleaning downstairs. Just ate a while ago and I had wholemeal bread slice and 4 pieces of small cod, which totals to about 880 calories altogether. [Only had one slice of bread, because it...

Okay so, I didn't manage to do any cardio today, been cleaning my room for more than 2 hrs and was sweating loads so must have burned some calories that way. Didn't eat breakfast nor lunch because I literally started cleaning my room after like an hour from when I woke up, so didn't get a...

Okay so I started this fitness thing at the beginning of the month [as stated in the introductions section]. I first started off doing 40 mins brisk walking, then changed this to 2 sets, so 40 mins in the morning and then 40 mins in the evening or so. I used to do weights like everyday but...

Yeah indeed, especially as it means rather than revising I can exercise and not be stressed :D Thanks. :) And wow 75lbs. :eek: Well done :D You must be proud. I wish you all the best with the rest of your weight loss journey too.

Heya. I've been stalking this forum for quite a bit now and quite like it. Have seen some pretty inspirational stuff especially from the success stories section. [Well done to everyone who has achieved their goals and/or nearly there] I've previously tried losing weight and did lose weight...
