Ah bloody phone. It gives it a cheesy/nutty taste and has a ton of added vitamins including b12. Any vegan you ask will swear by this stuff, I highly recommend it for adding a bit of flavour to any meal. My kids (also vegan) even have it on toast

Hey, vegan here, just wanted to say that if you haven't heard of it there's something called 'nutritional yeast' that you can add to meals and it

thank you :) you aren't doing so bad yourself! still got about 3 stone to lose and it's taking forever to come off, think i need to up my exercise or try a new diet

doing well the last week or so. having chicken chips and peas for dinner but i'll be skipping the chips and just having the chicken and peas. been concentrating on drinking enough water, managed 2 litrse so far today

yeah i guess i could really!

i used to love doing the jogging with my wii fit but my wii is broken :( keep meaning to get it fixed but its so expensive

i'm going to assume it didn't go too well considering the lack of replies lol i drink way too much tea, i stopped drinking tea for a day and just put the sugar i wouldve had into a pot, at the end of the day i had 208g of sugar!

i've not heard of herbalife, i'll google it! yeah i think upping my exercise is probably the way i'm gonna have to do it. ill get back into swimming twice a week, carry on with my 6 miles walking a day and try to add in some jogging. hopefully i can sort that room out and get an exercise bike or...

think i'll change my target date from june 1st to june 30th LOL i'm on a mission now to get the twins out of my room and into the other room so i've got room for exercise equipment, i want an exercise bike but my sister says cross trainers are better

hi ppl. i've lost 6 and a half stone so far just through diet and exercise. i've got about 3 stone left to lose and it just isn't shifting. i thought about getting an exercise bike but i don't think we really have the room, not until i get the twins in their own room anyway. i used to swim twice...

pretty sure i lost a cpl pounds, its so hard to tell on the poxy scales tho i wish my wii worked :(

started at 280lb (20st) it's quite likely more than that actually but i know for a fact i was bang on 20st at one point. i'm now at 192lb (13st 10) so i need to lose 3st 10 to get to my target of 10st. any tips to help with the last 3st? it's coming off slower and slower these days :(

done well today, not had anything bad for me (well i had a small bowl of lucky charms for breakfast, my sister bought me them for my birthday) i even resisted blueberry muffins and a peanut butter kitkat chunky lol off out for another 2 mile walk later hopefully

i tell her every day lol makes no difference. she's 16 and a half stone and keeps saying she's going to start exercising but she wont. my oldest sister is just over 16 stone and she also keeps saying she's gonna diet but doesnt.

wow yesterday i didn't have a single cup of tea, instead i put all the sugar i would've had in tea into a pot. at the end of the day after 12 'cups of tea' there was 208g of sugar :o anyway today has started off good, had slice of wholemeal batch loaf and a banana for breakfast, got peckish...

right, having a bottle of water this morning instead of tea. would've had at least 2 cups so far so that's cut out 6 sugars already :o had toast for breakfast. was going to walk to the school but my sister made me pick her and the kids up. i keep telling her to walk, she's about 16/17 stone and...

awesome, would love to see a few more links like these if anyone has any :)

thanks james. i cat wait to see your before and after pics when you've reached your target :D i can't get my head round the fact you've already lost SIXTEEN stone!!

thank you :D weighed in today and lost another cpl pounds! only 3st 8 to go! 10lb and i make my century!

weighed in this morning and i've lost a lb or two :D some of it is prob because ive cut all my hair off, my hair is incredibly thick and was past my shoulders. it's now less than an inch long at the back at couple inches everywhere else with a fringe. makes my face look slimmer i think. hardly...

hi! im at 192lbs now. it's coming off slowly :D here's another comparison pic excuse the hair in the first pic, my twins were about 3 weeks old and i was shattered haha

well i walked to college and back then went to softplay with the kids. i was running around going on all the slides and climbing etc for about 3 hours. with that and all the walking i have doe this week you'd think i'd lose at least a pound wouldn't you. plus i didnt eat anythin crap all week...

off to college in a bit. think i'll walk, bt of exercise and will save money on parking! really can't be bothered today, i ache all over from pushing the twins uphill in the buggy yesterday. not good.

just got bk from walking the dog. i've done over 12,000 steps today!

just realised my target is june and i'm nowhere near reaching it lol i either have to change my target date or work my arse off. could change my target weight hahaa

**** me 16 stone??!!!! that's incredible! i hope you are proud of yourself! if you aren't, for some bizarre reason, im gonna come up there and give u a slap. seriously tho what an achievement! x

took the twins to the park, had lots of fun on the slides (they enjoyed themselves too) and my daily steps so far is at 7,200 and something. got to take the dog out later too so hopefully i'll make 10,000 today :) just tried on my mum's skinny jeans that are a size smaller than the jeans i'm...

yeah i think i will on monday if weather is ok. its 2 mile in the am, 2 in the pm and 2 in the evenin plus whatever i do general walking round the house etc.

having trouble cutting down on the tea still :( last time i stopped drinking it i started scoffing loads of junk so i'm thinking sod it i'll keep drinking it. i've lost this much weight so far without cutting it out so maybe there's no point now. these days i'd much rather have a cup of tea than...

i just found some old measurements from 2010 when i was 18st, i'd lost 2st already but according to the measurements since then ive lost 12 inches off my waist!!! so it must be a bit more than that since i was 20st!

thanks james! just scoffed a massive orange. my ribs were scrumptious last night btw lol i was eating them when u sent the last msg which is why i didnt reply!

been a good week so far. figured out that some days i've been doing a 6 miles of walking! i thought the walk i do with the dog was a mile or mile and a half, turns out its over 2 miles! annoyed with the weather, i wanted to walk my daughter to school every day but it's been raining every day. i...

today has been good so far. took the dog on the school run, just over a mile there and same back. will be walking to pick her up this afternoon too if it isn't raining. had breakfast at about 7.45 so getting a bit hungry. had a banana and apple earlier but gonna have some lunch now.

thank you clartylou :) well done! 3st 11 is an amazing loss :D you will definitely notice how much faster you lose the weight once you get a few good workouts in! what done it for me was definitely walking, i am positive of this. i never used to walk anywhere when i was 20st, then i had to start...

trust me if i can do it then you can too! i definitely think ppl underestimate how much exercise helps, even if you have a crappy day food-wise a good long, hard workout can really help and stops you feeling guilty too!

hi! no particular diet just eating healthier and exercising more. been very lazy this week though :( my eldest is back at school on monday though so i'm going to start walking again instead of taking the car, that's 4 miles a day. might take the dog for an extra walk every day too. went for a...

getting lots of exercise this week as the car failed its mot. walking faith to and from school which is 4 miles a day and Oscar in the evening which is a mile so roughly 5 miles a day want to start taking oscar out in the afternoon and running in the evening. i really really want an exercise...

hmm not sure, ill have to have a look later. hope it works!

yeh my week has been ok. glad its the weekend tho, college tomorrow. 5th class which means only 3 to go and ill get my certificate! how bout u?

aw no! dont waste time feeling bad about what you couldve done, spend it planning for what you can do now to make your life better :)

ah no thats a shame, glad ur getting back on track tho.

pic done this pic, lost about 10lbs since the 2011 pic.

can anyone see much difference? i cant see much myself tbh, best pics i could find

nice one!

wow :0 youve done brilliantly to keep the weight off! i lost about 5 stone a few years ago but piled it back on during my twin pregnancy :(

hi rach! long time no see! how you been?

excellent, looking forward to it lol

woop woop go you! dont forget ur paying, im driving haha

and so you bloody well should be mr! youve done amazingly well! if you need motivation to get on the bike just think of our trip to america ;)

im still after an exercise bike but got no room :(

same here lol i have a pair of massive trousers that i used to wear all the time, literally every day and now they swamp me. i still find that i dont notice how much ive lost though :/ like when i look in the mirror, to me i look exactly the same. i dont even have any old pics of myself to compare

same here! i put on a pair of jeans yesterday that my mum gave me a little while before xmas and i couldnt even do them up and they were so tight i barely got them on. they fit now, i need a belt with them too as theyre a little loose!

well done! really pleased for you, thats a great loss!

yeh i know lol if i didnt just laugh i'd have had a breakdown by now lol have you seen the pics on fb of when they got hold of the sudocreme? the twins are really mischievous. my laptop batt is dying now so you can txt if you want to, if not ill chat to you 2morrow x

thats not the half of it, you should see what they done earlier. it involved black ink pads and a creme fabric sofa. not good. they certainly keep me on my toes lol argh i really dont want it to be monday tomrrow, bloody school run. sucks.

eh i know whats wrong with it, the twins keep shoving things in it lol where was the photo taken that u txt me earlier?

used normal scales and looks like another lb down but i dont trust them

well just weighed in and it looks like i've lost another 1lb, maybe 2 but i don't trust scales at all.

my wii has decided to stop working so ive got to attempt to use nrmal scales. wish me luck lol well done today guys :)

ah really annoyed, my bloody wii has decided its going to refuse to read discs so now i cant weigh myself :( not impressed

hahaha! hmmm i wouldnt exactly call it a beach.. more like a rubbish tip lol i would never ever swim in the sea here it is rank lol im on fb now, was playing gymnastics with faith, got a bit carried away lol

haha nothing really, we have the infamous southend seafront and pier but thats about it really. the pier is quite famous actually

the fact im in it ;)

ah wow! that looks lovely! havent googled it yet, was doing kids' dinner.

i know he is such a lovely dog, even though oscar winds him up really bad he never snaps at him. they go offlead together over the fields too :( ah well i spose itll be best for him in the end. tell me more about your little village, im intrigued. might google burton on trent actually lol

omg ive been sorting out the kids' room to decorate it, ive taken the trampoline apart and the bed and was just putting the ladders up to go in the loft. i nealy died! the ladders are those bendy ones that go into all different shapes for different jobs, surprised i didnt go down the bloody...

lol he cries to get under the covers?? lol thats so funny. oscar has claimed our 2 seater sofa, if anyone sits on it he squeezes behind them and pushes them off haha

yeh i get soaked when i take oscar out, hes a nightmare for jumping in puddles. hes worse than the kids lol hes eyeing up my cheese roll atm haha watched a good prog last night, was about an american guy who was 650lb and went down to about 230lb without surgery! i was like woah!!

hmmm i just looked and it is raining lol

not bad ta, in a good mood because of the 2lb loss and the twins are doing well with their potty training so cant complain! weather isnt too bad here, its cold but not raining like it was yesterday, im just hoping it doesnt ice up tonight or ill b late for college again lol

haha i just rated my own thread lol

:D thanks james. hows your day going?

i know i shouldnt have but i weighed today and down 2lb, so now at 198lb. very pleased, think the loss was from last week tho as ive been bloated as totm. back to swimming next week. only 3lb to go and ill have lost the 10lb goal for this month

thats true, im not thinking of it as right, now i have to get to this target, its more like things im looking forward to achieving on the way to my main target. if that makes sense. even if its just 1lb a week i am happy, as long as im not gaining then i know ill get there even if its a slow...

haha i think you have earned the right to be a bit of a couch potato though lol ive lost 2lb which means ive met my 1st big target of getting to under 200lb, thats an 82lb loss :) 58lb to go! i am so pleased. my next target is to get to get to 180lb so i will have made my century, 18lb to go to...

ive lost 2lb! which means ive officially met my 1st target of getting to under 200lb :D

you too! ttyl, im always on fb if u wanna chat

ive never even heard of burton on trent, where is it? yeh if i leave then mum wont be able to afford the rent so she'll have to leave her house and she loves it here. i hate southend, want to be somewhere quieter with more greenery. cornwall would be awesome, my dad and step mum are moving there...

yeah that's true! i guess it could bea bit awkward if the dad actually sees them too, not that i have that problem, my kids' dad hasnt seen them for 2 years, hes never even seen wyatt. its hard coz theres so much stuff that reminds faith of him and shes always asking why he left :( i want to...

really? i think it does with a lot of guys, like they think theyll have to suddenly start paying for them and stuff. the way i see it is they are my kids and my responsibility and thats how i want it, i dont need or want anyone else paying for them or looking after them all the time.

id rather have the holiday lmao theres no reason you wont find anyone! i purely think in my case that itll be because of the kids that i wont meet anyone. they obv come first though so you know. i just cant imagine anyone wanting to be with someone with 4 kids, one is bad enough haha

haha well at least you can look forward to spending a few months in spain!

aw thanks! kinda got used to the fact i'm gonna be single a while though :(

yeh as long as im exercising and i know i'm getting healthier even without the weight coming off easily then im happy :)

lol :) i was slim when i was younger, started getting fat when i was in my teens, i was really depressed. was never that fat tho, i gained the real bulk of my weight when i got pregnant with my 1st and then it just spiralled. i was with someone so i guess i felt like it didnt really matter if i...

oooh ive heard war horse it really sad, my cousin was crying her eyes out n she a big butch lesbian lol id never even heard of it till she put it as her status. whats it about? hope your tummy feels better soon! you're getting closer to your target :D less than 100lb to go now!

lmao beanboy

omg take me with you! im sure we can squeeze me and 4 kids into a case or 2 haha

blob like lol you started at the weight im aiming for haha

i know, i love meat! probably why it was a bad idea for me to go veggie lol how you been?

im off out in a minute to take oscar for a nice long walk. had a big bowl of veg for dinner lol didnt fancy anything else so just had a bowl of carrot and broccoli lol need to get exercising a bit more. mums nurse was telling us today about how good zumba is. i might try a youtube zumba workout...

well done everyone you are all doing fabulously!

hmm good point! maybe i built up a bit of muscle with all the swimming

same here samjay im DO in a few days so starting to feel bloated, weighed myself and still the same so im thinking that could be why, i was expecting to lose at least 1lb! good luck everyone!

weighed in today and i havent even lost 1lb! lol not too bothered tho as im just glad i didnt gain. surprised i didnt lose any though as ive been exercising loads and havent eaten anything i shouldnt. ah well, ill work harder this week!

thanks, you too! nothing planned for the weekend, college sat morning then i guess i'll have to think of something for the rest of the weekend to entertain the kids lol

yep definitely a good feeling. got a feeling i havent lost much this week tho. im not too worried though as 5lb last week will cover this week too haha

welcome blue23 :) well done on the 10lb loss so far. how is everyone doing this week? got a feeling i havent lost much tbh. have been doing lots of walking and swimming though, just finding it hard cutting down on the tea!

definitely gonna have to go to cornwall in the summer, havent been for about 4 years. i love love love cornwall. i went when my eldest was 4 months old, then when she was 1.5, couldnt go when she was 2.5 as i was in hospital having the twins, then the next year i had rowed with family so couldnt...

same here. a nice hot beach somewhere would be great. hot sand on your feet and nice cold glass of lemonade :D paradise haha

thanks, feel like all i do is moan these days lol took oscar for a long walk and feel a bit better. just fed up. how are you anyway :)

wow such amazing losses for everyone!! hows everyone doing this week? tali, i do the biggest loser usa on the wii, just ordered the new one. sucks a bit though as my sister has just told me she wants her wii balance board back and thats how i weigh in. we have a few sets of scales and they all...

hi, ive lost 6 stone just by eating healthily and doing lots of exercise

eurgh feeling crap today, im not ill, just on a real downer. fed up with everything atm, life just sucks in general tbh. sigh. ah well, guess id better make the kids' breakfast :(

been for a walk with oscar over to the park for a run about. having jacket potatoes with bit of cheese for dinner, yum yum

hey! swimming last night, was good only done 16 lengths though as i went with my sister and we tend to spend more time messing about than we do swimming lol i admit to having a bag of chocolate gems earlier but other than that im still on track, even munched an apple on the way home from the...

haha thanks! taking oscar out for a long ol walk in a bit, hoping thatll clear my head

hope you are feeling better today x

yeh its not good but we manage. started off the day in a really god mood because of losing 5lbs and now im in a really bad mood, think everyones gone outr of thier way to piss me off today :(

its not nice tbh mums got 2 detatched retinas because of diabetes, she has muscular problems, her nerves are dying and her kidneys are giving up. theres lots more too but i cant remember. she was almost 18 stone and is now just over 11

going bk to the clothes thing, i still buy clothes that are miles too big as i still see myself exactly the same as i was before. i refused to have pictures taken of me when i was 20st so i cant even look at pics to see how big i was, to me i look the same as i did then

good point, shes always slagging my mum off because my mums lost 6 stone without dieting or exercise at all (prob tmi but think menopause had a lot to do with that as she went to hospital because of it but all seems fine) shes always on about it. ill admit its frustrating sometimes when you gain...

she most likely will lol neither of my sisters stick to a diet for more than a few weeks lol then again i think she will see it as a competition between me and her and she'll want to lose more weight than me so she can rub my nose in it. we arent particularly close lol

it sucks :( i dont mind giving it back as i was only borrowing it anyway but ive had it for over a year and now im gonna have to buy a new board and game. was thinking of trying zumba on the wii

thanks james. i am no longer happy today :( my sister wants her wii balance board and biggest loser game back. thats the main workout i do and its how i do my weigh ins :(

that is excellent news, congratulations! you should be very proud of yourself hun :) x

ive lost 5lb this week. down to 200lbs :) one more lb and i reach my first target of getting to under 200lbs :D im a very happy bunny today :)

well done ladies! fantastic losses! ive lost 5lb! im so pleased, only 1lb to go and ill reach my first goal of getting to under 200lb :D tali i also do the jillian michaels one and biggest loser on the wii, done jillian michaels one before i went to bed last night and burnt about 500 cals

official weigh in today and ive lost 5lb! hopefully ill make my goal of 10lb in january :D 1lb left until i meet my first goal of getting under 200lb :D so happy today

i've lost 4lb! i caved in and weighed myself just now :D so pleased. and its not even sunday yet so hopefully i could lose a bit more this week!!

hey! just wanted to say good luck on your journey. i started at 280lbs and am now down to 205. keep at it you CAN do it!

lol i am dying to weigh myself but holding off until sunday.

our xmas was hectic what with the 4 kids and puppy haha loved every minute of it though :) had my cousin and her girlfriend round for new year which was nice as they live in clacton so dont see them all that much. i dont drink so i was sober all over xmas and new year (unlike before i had kids...

thanks! just got back from a long old walk and play in the park with oscar. ran around with him and worked on his recall. was good fun.

ooooh snazzy, you have good taste

swimming was good, done 30 lengths. couldve done more but got out because i needed to pee lol walked oscar about a mile, just over i think and some of the walk is uphill. got a feeling im not gonna have lost anything this week. i really hope i have.

hows everyone been doing this week?

yeah i didnt bother with my workout. took xmas tree n decs down and tidied up mountains of toys. went to bed and wyatt decided he'd keep me up all night

hi hun. dont give up! you have come so far already, 7 stone is amazing!

thankyou chiliflea feel free to post in my journal theres a link in my siggy. ive got about 4st left to go and got a feeling hits gonna be very hard to shift :) are you doing a certain diet or just healthy eating and exercise?

hi! good luck with the restart

im really annoyed with myself, my eldest fell asleep down here a cpl hours ago so i took her up to bed and decided to give her a quick cuddle. i fell asleep and now im so tired all i want to do is sleep (only got about 2 hrs seep coz all 4 kids were up all night) and the last thing i wanna do is...

oooh yeah i bought some new gym gear today, wearing it now for my walk :D

well done with the hills! i hate walking uphill, theres a long steep one i do on my evening walk and i dread it the whole walk haha

swimming was good, only done 20 lengths in an hour n a half though haha got back and done a 20 minute yoga sesh on the wii. off out for a walk now with oscar then going to do more wii fit. will do a longer workout tonight as i had a savaloy and few chips for lunch lol not sure what to have for...

i try and do as much as i can, i even park a cpl of roads away from my house most days so get that little bit extra in lol

think i'll join this thread if thats ok! im excited about sunday already lol going swimming for an hour tonight and going for a long walk with the dog so hopefully thatll help shift a lb :)

my main exercise is walking, swimming and wii fit. i definitely want to give zumba a go, sounds like fun. finding it really hard not to weigh myself lol ive decided that sundays will be weigh in day or ill be weighing myself every single day lol

i know lol it was boiling hot when i got in, fell asleep almost instantly and when i woke up it was freezing cold lol, not nice at all! rushing to get kids fed and bathed so i can take the dog out and then go swimming. might take dog out while dinner is cooking actually. thing is, if i take him...

hmm yeah i guess it is almost 2 stone lol but out of the 140lbs im losing it isnt much really haha did you have a good xmas and new year jim?

hi. well done on the weight loss so far!

aaaah just got out lol i fell asleep in the bath for 2 hours the other night haha

thats great you're enjoying the gym, i'd like to go more but i'm a single mum to 4 kids so it's difficult to find the time :) im not really following a particular diet, just healthy eating and loads of exercise. i do tend to lose weight quite quickly which is good lol what is C25k, forgive my...

done my workout. 20 min workout and then 20 min yoga. i'm well out of shape lol added you on fb james :) going to have a nice bath now i think :)

hey i started a sunday weigh ins thread in july and forgot about it haha just updated it then saw this!

hey! forgot about this thread! do you still weigh in on sundays princess? i usually find it hard to resist weighing myself compulsively every day haha but from now on im going to try and only weigh in on sundays! hope we get a few more ppl on here!

high, well done on your journey so far you are doing great!

hi! well done on the weightloss so far, i started off very close to you at 280lbs and i think that was in april too! my goal is 140lb which i'm sure you know is 10st. im hoping i can get a bit under that though, probably to 130 like you. my target is june 2012 so realistically i need to lose...

not long till i reach my century! im really excited about this year, its def gonna be the year i achieve my goal weight :)

well done 4lbs is great!

just got back from our walk, done about a mile. wii fit later and swimming tomorrow! excited about swimming but my costume is now too big so may have to go into town in the morning and get another one :p

right, im off to take the dog for a nice long walk then once ids are fed and in bed i think i'll do a bit of wii fit. thinking of trying zumba. dont know anyone who's tried it before though so dont know if its any good

thanks! still determined to get the weight off, only 25lb until i make my century :) off out in a bit to take the dog for a nice long walk then doing some wii fit later

hmmmm decided i might set myself a target gor january. im gonna aim to lose 10lb in january :) if i can lose 10lb or just over that each month ill hit my target in june :)

i did thanks :) looking forward to getting back on track with the diet and exercise. going to start swimming twice a week instead of just once whichh will hopefully tone up my arms a bit!

glad you're getting back on track! i've got 4 kids to run around after too which probably helps lol i dont check the fat in food i basically just have what i fancy but a smaller portion and if one part of it is bad for me i try to substitute it for something else if that makes sense. i do use...

oooh yeah only a few lbs between us! i used to hate the exercise but since i've lost the weight its gotten so much easier and i actually enjoy it. food-wise i have the odd bad week but im getting there slowly. i just noticed that i gave myself until june 2012 to get to my target weight :o i have...

never heard of costco. buffet looks great, glad you had a god xmas

thanks! im not really following any diet, just healthier foods, smaller portion sizes and a LOT more exercise. i go swimming once a week atm but starting this week i'm upping it to twice a week (total 3 hours a week). my main exercise was walking as i walked the school run which totalled 4 miles...

hey! not been on for ages! got a bit off track with the diet but i havent gained thankfully. getting back on top of things now for new year. going to up the swimming from 2 hours a week to 3 hours a week for a start. passed my driving test in november so not doing as much walking as i was but...

thank you! oscar is awesome, he has so much character already :) he absolutely loves his walks, i let him off-lead now over the park and providing there are no other dogs around to distract him he does brilliantly playing fetch and coming to me when i call him. hes very excitable though lol...

hey you! you're looking great! hope you had a good xmas and new year. how've you been? hows your mum doing? hope all is well x

ey, sorry for the late response :D things are good here, we got a golden retriever puppy. he's lovely. my eldest named him oscar (could've been much much worse haha) and hes just under 11 weeks old :) hows things with you? im at 205lb now :)

it's mad how much fat is in suet! i love dumplings though, havent had them for about a year.

ah bless lol what dogs do you have?

yeah good point1 oooh guess what!! we got a puppy :D a 10 week old golden retriever pup called oscar. hes adorable and really well behaved. house training is going really well too, onlt 2 wees in the house today, no poops for a cpl days now! took him to get his 1st lot of jabs today and he was...

not much of a loss for me, im at 205 now. better than nothing though, just looking forward to hitting my first target of being under 200!

wow! you look so different in your new profile pic! well done, you are doing so so well!

i just thought, i started on here at 140lb but i'd already lost 3 stone as at my heaviest i was 20st so i technically started at 280lb so im closer to my century than i realised :D

at 208lb today! 9 to go then im at my first target yay! thinking of doing a bit more swimming, i go once a week atm but might up it to 3 times a week which would be two one hour sessions and 1 2 hour session. supposed to be going tennis tonight, haven't played since i was 12! should be funny lol

at my heaviest a couple of years ago i was 20 stone, after having my son in january i was down to 17 and since feb have got down to 14. thats 6 stone down and about 4 to go! im thinking its gonna start getting harder from now on. any tips?

down to 209lb now! not long and i'll meet my first target of getting to under 200lb :D i cant see it though when i look in the mirror, i think i look exactly the same. ah well hopefully will see a difference when i shift a few more lbs :D

aw im jealous, i love cornwall :)

haha im not looking forward to being a grandparent, luckily thats years and years away though :D ive lost another 3lb so at 209 now :)

sorry things been a bit hectic here, my oldest has started school full time so seems im constantly walking backwards and forwards to the school or doing other school related stuff! how are you jim?

tank you both and wow!!! you are both an inspiration to me, congrats on such amazing losses!

shall i take that as a no? lol

ok thanks, im trying to put off weighing myself until sunday. i dont do the wii fit that much, i usually use the board to do other workout games like the biggest loser etc my eldest likes playing on it too which is good, keeps her active. we just got back from a long old walk to the park so they...

good work, im trying to find something to occupy the kids so i can use the tv to do a workout lol the eldest and the twins are glued to bloody cbeebies, 6 month old is sitting in his bouncey chair watching too :doh: we did just get back from a long walk to the park though and a long play session...
