we do treadmill, going up a hard incline quite fast, then we do some toning and lift weights on the machine (pull down from over your head, then slowly release), we also do some boxing and different ways of weight lifting, then some leg work on the leg machine and some muscle building on a...

Well, I've got 1lb left and I've lost a stone in 3 weeks!

We have (that is, me and my mum - we are doing it together) the next four weeks and then the course ends, but mum is thinking of going for another 6 weeks to take us over / up to christmas (to make us behave!) so a potential 10 weeks It is the eating differently that is doing it though I think...

That is absolutely AMAZING!!! I have 9 stone to lose (have lost 8.4lbs so far!) so it is amazing to hear that it CAN be done! I bet you look absolutely awesome... huge congratulations

Another 3.4 lbs gone - that's over half a stone!!

how brilliant!! I lost 5lbs in the 4 days since starting the diet (the booking in went odd so it was only a 4 day thing on the first week - now it is monday to monday) so we are both going in the right direction! Well done :)

must be pretty good!! In 4 days on the diet/excersize I have lost 5lbs! Woot Woot!

it's not a "named" one - just a local nutritionist and personal trainer (called Step Change or something) it's basically, 2 weeks detox (no wheat, no caffeine, no sugar/salt etc) and then 4 weeks a bit less strict with one "free" day a week - it is a proper 6 week course thingy Seems quite...

Well where to start? I've never done one of these before so bear with me (any advice?) I started on my diet today - saw the personal trainer yesterday so have been slightly sore today! :o Been running here, there and everywhere for the food and added extras (like omega oil stuff and manuka...

Thanks for all your encouragment - it really does help Just got back from the first meeting with the personal trainer = he is lovely, doesnt make me feel OH SO fat etc (brilliant) and the nutritionist won't let me say bad things about myself!! I feel strangely energised (not knackered!!)...

Brill :) well done!!

Oh that is absolutely horrendous I am so so sorry - not that it helps, but I am thinking of you - hope the funeral went ok - as ok as it can anyway Thinking of you - take care, be kind to yourself and don't forget to just take each hour as it comes x

Thanks Mich, I have looked into (and discussed with the nutritionist) about the low carb thing - she thinks this is the way to go for EVERYone so will benefit anyway. I am also going to look into the glycemic side of it too I tihnk - some good books out there from profs in nutrition (well, one...

well, first all I must apologise for going AWOL!! the school holidays have been a nightmare and then my son started school Anyway, the update is: my mum and me are booked in to start with the personal trainer / nutritionist when mum comes back off holiday (begining of October) ...the course...

ahh yes but it's you nosey lot that will keep me on the straight and narrow LOL!!

thanks everyone - really appreciate it... my weight ballooned when I got into an abusive relationship (which then got worse as I got pregnant and had my son) - so did my weight... I was a recluse and only went out to go to the shops for junk food - I have major esteem and image issues coming...

well, now i've found this site, you won't be getting rid of me!! I will take a pic of myself but I have major image-issues so you may not see it til I have a "and getting there" comparrison...! Measurements are a good idea too ... will do that (altho the PT may do it anyway) Thanks for all...

oh thank god for that!! I am going to do a 6 week intensive diet/excersise thing soon (my mum is paying - it is LOTS of money!) to "jumpstart" me into healthy eating for life (they have nutritionists, personal trainers and councellors to guide you) I WILL DO IT!!! It may take the best part...

for me it is: because I can admit to being a 19 stone heffa and NOT get judged for it because the before and after photos are an amazing source of inspiration because no matter how stupid my question, it usually gets an answer because it is full of people, male and female who know EXACTLY...

Ok, here's the deal: I'm 19 stone (OMG!) and want to be 10 stone (this will make me look a-maz-ing cos I am quite tall) BUT ... I am poor (single parent on benefits) so can NOT do Cambridge or LL or any of those type of diets. Here comes my question: Can I lose 9 stone on JUST eating...

Hello... I have been granted permission to use this bit (teehee) cos i REALLY WILL lose my 9 stone this year (is a year too long a goal?) I am just wondering - I have PCOS (polycystic ovaries) and have been told that this will alter my weight loss rate - it will make it harder... anyone else...
