Ice the shins Lou, shin splints are a true curse for anyone, going back to or starting to run. If you can at all, avoid pavements or roads for a bit and run in a park on grass or in a field till you learn the stride that doesn't hurt you. Very best of luck with it though its a most rewarding...

Chuckle sorry Rod, well if anyone watches it can they report cause I'll miss it with training.

Was it any good Rod, I'm not against the idea of fasting it makes you very mentally tough I guess the problem is when you go over board and start to feel like you shouldn't eat at all... maybe that's just my problem lol but on the whole one day fasting can tell you a lot about your mental steel...

All in ship shape here soldier - training like Im going to the olympics, run in the morning swim at lunch weights in the evening combined with clean low carb high protein eating. Quite enjoying it too, even on holidays didn't miss out much except the weights cause they wouldn't let them on the...

Just thinking about the carb situation - being carb addicted is not just in your head. You actually do get withdrawls when you cut them out. Noones going to say its easy but you can reduce your carb intake by replacing things like pasta with spagetti made from squash - roast it in the oven for...

Thank the lord!

Nice one Mary great work - great feeling to break a mental barrier too.

Let there be no more talk of cheating/take aways/drinking or other tomfoolery ladies and gents - Rod will have everyone's guts for garters and rightly so. Make the cut or hop on as the boss would say. Great work on the kettlebells Emma, work just gave us free access to a swimming pool so added...

Thanks Emma! Never know when I will need shove out the door but very motivated at the moment

Hi ya'all just home from a really lovely week's holidays in Portugal. My first every sun holiday - and first time to wear a bikini! Was all rather fun and now after reading back on some of your posts and a massive vegetable shop I can't wait to rip into things again tomorrow, it's championship...

LOL what I was trying to get at and clearly didn't achieve was that good health is more important at least to me than weight loss on its own - whats the point in being skinny if you do it in such a way that it makes you frail gaunt and unwell and I say that from the perspective of someone that...

Awesome stuff Rod well done you!!! Have a great trip to Ireland celebrate in style!

burns more calories to chew celery than there are calories in it

It is one of those things thats so odd but so tangy and delicious lol

Must find you a stavia recipe for lemon curd somewhere so its very low calorie and still natural

Are you mad?@? thats over half a stone! Thats amazing!!!

I’m not going argue this as I get the feeling it’s something your strong willed on, but having literally starved myself to the point of collapse over 10 years on and off I can safely that I have done irreparable damage to my body’s ability to process food. Call that metabolism or otherwise that...

Well the thing is Pom why would you put alllll your effort into loosing something when infact what your really trying to do is gain something else - health, fitness, sexiness, energy, well being, long life...... The more you concentrate on the benifits of what your doing the more likely you are...

JEEEEES dont do that mrs. youll have a big hole in your arm for your wedding if you go butchering it out!!!

Well done Shazz, personally im a non watch/phone/etc runner if im out im out and its me and the road. Cant bare the looking down it gives me motion sickness lol

1. Stop stressing - stops you loosing, causes muscle tension and water retention. 2. Wheres your food diary?

CHUCKLE that was a random one Smiles! I disagree though metabolism is affected by extreme calorific restriction over prolonged periods, but its not an excuse and you won't find people on TL claiming that it is.

Hi ya'all, been a while - catching up with Lou on the TL thread today alright. Just on the egg thing if you like them and they're handy for you go for just the whites they're about 12 calories a pop and generally taste pretty good with other stuff. Hope you've all been well anyway and gaining...

Most Irish hotels offer cerials toast fruit and yoghurt as well as hot food for breakfast. Maybe have Big bowls of porridge for breakfast. Generally hotels here are quite oblieging, if you ask them to make you up a something to eat to take with you they most likely will - salad and cold meat...

Ahhh your famous!!!!!!

That is quite the dilema alright you dont want them falling off at work hahahaha. If their inexpensive get a pair if not get a smaller belt! One of my buddys at work has just lost 7 stone in 5 months hes got serious clothing issues now never mind the loose skin but we had a great celebratory...

Buy ones you ABSOLUTELY LOVE in a 34 and hang them in plain sight until you fit in em!

That's a very good question sparty - specially a lotta people on here have full time jobs and or children, its possibly the most important part of your routine to plan for exercise as you do with food. It takes some out of the box thinking! For a lotta people walking or running/joggin works best...

Dont forget to take before and after pictures Mr.Smiley cause there ain't noone goina recognise your skinny behind when your done so you'll need some evidence to prove its you :)

Awesomeness Hannah!

Spot on gettingfit. Doesn't matter what your wearing or what you look like when your out doing your thing, giving it socks and holding your head up people can't help but either admire your efforts or else their jealous of you doing what they don't have the strength to do. I'm not saying its easy...

Chuckle I know that feeling I'm obsessed with hormones and chemical breakdowns and what burns what faster at the moment, its not a bad thing its just that it can bog you down. Your right about diet drinks though they can slow weight loss down. All bodies cope a little differently with substances...

Harsh but too the point hahahahaha cheers to smaller rears!

Awh thats really sweet - see things are never so bad when you put them in perspective, we just get wrapped up in our confussion and forget to see the lovely gifts we're given everyday. I'm extra super greatful today for all the lovely birthday wishes I've recieved from people I haven't heard...

Thank you dear :)

Good job my dears, that's awesome. Happy 4th of July to everyone and Happy Birthday to me :)

Awesome I'm sure you'll have a ball - Waterfords kinda bandit country but I'm sure you won't mind the natives! Great spot for surfing too if you decide to catch a bit of extra exercise as well as fish haha I'll send them a warning to watch out for ye're arrival!

YAY where in Ireland is your competition?

Plus its got an awesome drinks policy :)

Chuckle Jezz thats so funny!!!! Talk about missing the point by a country mile!

That's cause they are horrible! Theyre all kinds of mutations of what may or may not once have been a food. If something can last on a shelf for 2 years its not a food its a packaged chemical

Be warned Weightloss like puppies is not just for the big day! Its for life and I can think of very few better motivations than getting married to move to a healthier lifestyle. Think of it like your marriage, the day is big and exciting and wonderful but what really matters is the life that...

A very dear MAN friend just sent me this picture - I'm flabbergasted in a very happy way!

Good job MrsL your doing great. YOur a stone below your goal?

High 5 to that!

I know how you feel hon got a 10k in the morning and was really hoping for 57 minutes but its looking unlikely

Once you start going out and not drinking you get used to it in no time but you have to have a damn good reason for yourself - noone else really matters in this battle. If you know the exact reasons why your on this journey, if getting to a healthy fit energetic life with lower risk of illness...

Best of luck you two you can do it!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing work well done!!!!

Put the bun somewhere you can't see it have a glass of water just in case your actually thirsty not hungry - have a good cry if you want to but eating and crying need to become unrelated in your mind. Its ok to be sad/frustrated/annoyed when there is a need but eating rubbish wont fix it. Deal...

If you blend up frozen berries and protein powder and a little juice or water you can make a scrumptious ice cream for very low calories

AWESOME well done Emma your on an absolute roll!

Sorry to be whinging I know this is not a place where whinging is tolerated but I feel like I got hit by a truck! We did ultimate sprints last night at training till I got sick, my stomach muscles are in bits and my head and eyes hurt, not sure these are related items but theyre both rubbish...

YAY good stuff daisy! I'm very greatful for a nice afternoon watching a movie with my work collegues it was nice to relax and have an unorthedox shared experience at work hahaha I'm greatful for having training this evening to regroup with my team and move forward after our last defeat. I'm...

I'm good thanks getting ready for 10km at the weekend in Ennis fingers crossed i go faster than the mini marathon I can break the hour in the...

Sure hon I dont really measure these ingredients but a rough guideline is: 3 tbspns peanut butter preferably a raw one with no added sugar 2 tbspns of stavia/splenda would do either 1 egg a scoop of vanilla protein about half a teaspoon of baking powder and a shake of flaxseed meal or sometimes...

There's no shame in staying the same! Its what ya do with it that counts, a true learning experience. Your back now and noones going to shout at ya at all - just prod you in the ribs hehehehehe only kidding

That's it its very tasty but im in ketosis so never hungry - ill be coming out of it soon and adding some more root veg carrot and parsnip and sweet potato in small amounts but ill always have to keep the carbage low as it really effects my weight no matter how much i train. but theres plenty of...

I started with MFP but then I paid for the tesco diets site so ive been using that will be going back to MFP once this months subscription is up though

I eat a lotta lettuce! I eat different things everyday if i can, might be something like Breakfast: peanut butter (sugar free & low fat ) cookies with protein powder and flaxseed meal in them, Lunch: chicken fillet with some lemon and chilli and a couple of teaspoons of natural yoghurt and...

Amazing work Flumpless!

How are you all doing no here ladies haven't seen any updates for a bit so just checking in to see your all ok?! Much love and hugs S

Aufden your very good to think of us all hon. How are you doing this week?

Yup calorie counting on high protein low carb

Awesome!

Awwwh poor Sookie feel better soon

More evidence of the water benefits - it stops sodium making you bloated and attaching under the skin in a layer that can PREVENT weightloss according to Jillian Michaels book!

Might try that with sweet potato actually

OH sounds like a darling! Well I guess thats one less temptation to deal with!

Thanks xx

:ashamed0005: never worn one before....

Thanks pet I did it once before so should be fine goina start 6 week again with it Im on a mission - 3 weeks to holidays and after some nasty comments by a team mate im very determined

How come you feel sick dear? Get better soon. Bring on Shred Level 3 followed by 6 Week 6 pack level 1 tonight. Some gut busting is required! Steak and lettuce for dinner though - WIN!

Best of luck with 6 week its pretty gut busting. 13 days of level 3 starting today

All things in moderation my dear had a good pig out yesterday myself. But its monday now and week days are totally off limits for crap eating if you ask me ;) Look at it as a challenge to your status quo so when other things come up that mess up your routine youll have a method to work around...

Sorry for any hassle caused. Just needed to rant

I was doing my best Rod impression ;)

Dont even think about it cave woman get out there and have fun - the cakes just not worth it ;)

Absolutely it helps to flush out all the toxins, and some studies show that it can help in the removal of broken down fat from the body. It also fills you up so you don't eat so much - often your just thirsty when you think your hungry. I probably drink too much water I end up having 4-5 L a day...

Are you drinking enough water? 2L

Good point hand weights are about 15 euro/11 pounds for a pair though theyre not as dear as other sports equipment

PS gotta a game tonight very nervous - can I get some luck?!?

Handweights for Bicep and Tricep curls 3 sets of 10 a day will help with arms - ya dont need heavy weights or anything just consistancy

Soooo true! Hes thinking of doing the dvd too now lol Men - take over all the good stuff chuckle.

WHOOOOP *victory dance in chair for Annya* Totally understand your frustration my dear 6 months of staying the same with copious amounts of exercise and a very strict diet! But ya know what the harder its earned the more its worth you'll never put those 1.6lbs back on cause you had to work so...

Unlucky about the burn Gina theres some good creams you can get for chaffing if its a continued problem

Good job emma that's the spirit - keep plugging a long. It will show eventually if your doing the right things. Down a little over 2lbs last night rather pleased

That's so exciting Shelster - enjoy every minute of it you'll look stunnning and if the rest comes off before the day I'm sure they'll take it in for you xx

Hhahaha had a disagreement about the difficulty of the jumping twist with my OH he was adiment it was easy until i made him do it! Arguement won :)

Massive hugs doll xx

Mine have disappeared - theres just nothing left - my bfs pecs will be bigger than my boobs soon

The other ones are harder I guess they might scare people off. I read someones comment somewhere on MM yesterday that it was originally a different structure - like one day strength next day cardio etc, was interesting. The 20 minute version is great for me cause I can still do my other training...

Yup its cheap to buy, its very short and it works a treat!

Its quite common Mrs.T, its most likely from hyperglycemia that you wake up hungry during the night. Try eating 6 small meals a day and reduce your sugar intake it helps with cravings. Maybe next time it happens write down how your feeling at the time before you eat the snacks and make sure its...

That's really great news Lisa, and congratulations on the Maths exam that's super. Hope its a lovely day with that pressure off you

Hey Lou think this through its just the water your holding onto cause of TOM - I sometimes weigh up to 5lbs more around then,just keep plugging and try not to binge. A walk or something that relaxes you is more effective than a bar of chocolate when your hormones are at you. You can do it! Have...

I seeee sometimes the sweat can block the pulse getting to the back of the wrist ones, but you more than likely bunred 150 to 200 if you were giving it welly. Running is easy to count cause every km is about 100 cals so I find that easy to count up. I dont count shred in my exercise calories...

Thanks girls I can't believe it I've been waiting 6 months for this and then it happens in 15 days!

Love that 'chilled evenings' sounds awesome. Great stuff hon, and your doing so great at shred and all. I'm very greatful for a loss at last and for a fantastic opportunity thats come up for me and OH at work today - more details on this later!

Ha we're the exact same weight

Theres no way your only burning 30 calories on 30 day shred. More like 130

Took a mid-shred picture last night this is the result so far http://www.minimins.com/general-weight-loss-discussion/274655-tough-love-apply-within-19.html#post5265003

Well done thats great. Ketosis is when you starve the body of glucose - i.e. sugar and carbs to force it to eat its own fat stores. Some shredding results if anyone wants to see http://www.minimins.com/general-weight-loss-discussion/274655-tough-love-apply-within-19.html#post5265003

I mix both sookie, I run on a tredmill on weekdays and outdoors at weekends to prepare for the runs that I do. I started off with a similiar idea to c25k from a book called Run Fat B&*&# Run. I think for c25k you run at the speed thats comfortable for you when you start so maybe try...

Did Leverl 3 one day cause I wasnt running its pretty intensive!

PS Rod get yourself a copy of Run fat B**ch Run youd LOVE IT - no nonsense practical guide to getting into running - she litterally takes no bull

If anyone wants a really excellent book Dr.Laroque Be thin through motivation and Be Thin and Self Confident are certainly worth the investment. I got them at a clinic I used to go to I didnt fully appreciate them at the time - but now that I don't get weighed by anyone else and I'm trying to...

Hey Emma, Richie allowed me a weigh last night got into the 11s!!!!!!!!! Whoop go us *does dance in chair*!!

Susie's on a rolll!!!!!!!!!!

Not possible to undo all your good work in one meal hon - it is possible to learn more about yourself by having a slip up though. Just cut back a small touch on the sugars and carbs and let your body use up what you've had. But most importantly have a look at why you ate it knowing you'd feel...

Friday but I need to have everything done by Thursday as I have training tomorrow evening and a game on Friday and I want to spend some time with my housemate before she goes away for the summer - that's why I'm moving out really. Shes a medical student so she's got a couple of months off

Whooop awesome, yeah rest up that knee - RICE it as much as you can. Hope it goes really well for you after all this hard work

To be honest I quite like it when I'm in it I have tons of energy its getting into it is the harder part. I eat all normal food I just don't have carbs much its easy enough to do - lots of chicken and fish and high protein foods. Made chickpea burgers yesterday thought my bf was going to eat the...

Hey Lisa chin up we can't be measuring our self worth by the scales - what deserves a reward is your improved behaviour and the fact that your taking care of yourself and your body. The scales is just a by-product. And as I tell myself all the time 2 out of 3 times its wrong. Keep up the great...

Course you will, getting back in ketosis today myself so little on the tired side and couldn't sleep so started work at 7 and it already feel like it should be home time! I'd love if there was a moving house fairy that could magic all the phone calls and bill changes and stuff done for you never...

Careful with that you'll do yourself an injury ;)

I was reading about becomming an SW and WW leader you just need to have done the program you don't have to have any particular qualifications it seems so I'd imagine there's a lot of questions they can't answer unless they do a lot of study on their own part.

I'm greatful for the challenges that are comming up at...

Well susie its like this if it feels like a loss your not goina make yourself do it long term- ya gotta start seeing your exercise as the gain that it is - strength, vitality, toning, improved circulation....on and on, and even better it makes you more interesting cause you have more to discuss...

Ahhhhh I see I need to subscribe myself to that so I dont have to be missing ya hahahahahaha Well done thats fantastic. My god I can't wait to see what I weigh in 2 weeks time!!

How did things work out Miss? Are ye getting sorted with the garage? Delighted to see you posting again we missed you

That's brilliant. Yup watched the match did you? Was very unfortunate - we seem to have sucky luck in big tournaments! Lovely weekend thanks you? Had a friends 30th in Dublin was very fun even on the water!

Oh wow, I had no idea SW was in Ireland!! pretty cool. I don't think I can face going to meetings and stuff for a while I've had enough of being weighed by strangers lol

Well done hon awesome work. Where are you doing slimming world?

2 out of 3 times the scales will be wrong Lisa its a very bad measurement of fat loss and gain and at the end of the day that's what matters. Believe me I'm learning the hard way. Darling bf still has me ont he scales ban and you know what its the making of me. Eat when hungry, stop when...

YAY Pom welcome back we missed you :) sorry it was stressful but well done on the loss! Rod is back on the tough love thread so be warned we're in for a treat hahahaha

Lot of sense in that - the only diet that works for me is high protein and low quantities of unrefined carbs. To be honest that doesn't feel like dieting at all so I've gone back to it and can't wait to see the results when I get my scales back grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I don't like to eat too much...

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA THATS FANTASTIC! They'll think she's having an affair! :)

Great idea! I only have our room to do it in cause we're living in an appartment at the moment. Knocked myself out of ketosis with a piece of cake at the weekend, should be back in by tomorrow though cause I kept everything else low over the weekend. I'd love to show you the 30th bday cake I...

Good bit of fat to be removed but I think ive been misguided by the scales as im the same size as I was at 11 stone but ive continued to weigh more since I started running and training in january/february. I was really bothered by it but I fit in all the same clothes....its baffeling Sent from...

YAY daisy your doing so good :) I'm greatful for the lovely time I had with my friends at a 30th birthday lastnight, I didn't drink just had pints and pints of water. I'm also greatful for Ireland being in the Euros its livened up the whole country!!

Welcome back Rod had you a good time? Pretty sure I got into the 11's while you were away but I dont know cause my bf's banned me from the scales until after my next 10k in 2 weeks time. I'm like a weaning off crack addict!

Yeah it looks that way daisy I guess it will take a lot of time for the fat to come off and the muscle to show. I've been reading alot about body types and it appears I'm the type that puts on muscle quickly but looses fat slowly. Level 2 D 8 complete. No running today unfortunately so gotta go...

Yup I am but I was trying to see what was bloating me out and I didn't eat starchy things or carbs for a few days just tested earlier as my appitite's disappeared and I'm well into ketosis. No wonder i was cranky for a couple of days chuckle

There are VLCD ketosis diets that involve food and not meal replacements available but you will have to take vitimans and minerals in order to stay healthy. Its not so much the calories that will put you in ketosis or take you out of it its the glucose - getting less than 30g of carbohydrate a...

OOOOOOOOPS I accidently went into ketosis.

Girls I'm baffled last November for my brothers wedding I weighed 10 stone 7 lbs and last night I tried on the same dress I wore to the wedding at 12 stone ish and it fits pretty much the exact same as it did then...what the hell? My body looks the exact same to me since I started running in...

DVD's hon they're pretty tough - its called extreme home fitness lol A friend of mine went from 22 to 13 stone using them now he runs half marathons in about 1:35! Tony Horton is the guy that made it you can buy a nutritian plan as well but I think the videos should be pretty readily available...

They are very hard on the joints. Enjoying Jillians looking forward to getting a good run at 6 week 6 pack once get through 30 DS

Whoop 8k and Level 2 day 7....FINALLY done

If you like Jillians you'd probably like insanity and P90x too

Well done Emma that's great news!!!

Well done you!!!

Awh Lou that's rough! Used to be all over the place like that. Still have wicked pain but at least they happen now

;) damn right cause if you don't you'll get booted up the backside around here!!

Daisy - well done you :) sometimes when things feel rubbish its hard to see the trees from the forest but I think this really helps. And I'm very greatful for you rowing in with me and not letting me look like a twat being greatful on my own!!! Today I'm greatful for - the struggle I'm having...

I guess I need not worry about tough-love on minimins I've got it at home hahahahaha

its probably a good thing, he recons its like watching the kettle boil if I stay looking at the scales ill stress myself out and never loose the weight lol

Having muscle will help keep the weight off when your maintaining, so the exercise shuold really help this time round. Oh how I wish I could have my scales and tape back i'm having withdrawls....which I guess means Richies right as usual!

Hahaha no I can't - he's doing it for my own good so I'll stick with the program. Should have a nice number to look at in 3 weeks time though!! FINGERS CROSSED

Hey Emma how did your weigh in go...I have some technical difficulties my boyfriend has banned me from weighing and measuring myself for 3 weeks so I can't race you cause I don't know what weight I am, but seeing as my trousers are falling off I'm guessing I've lost something!!!!

Yeah rest days are no harm sookie, gives the muscles time to soak up the new information - that they gota kick assssss!!! :) you'll like level 2 honest

Amazing work Summer that's unreal!!

Oh I'm fine lol I was just pissed off at my time yesterday :) I find the workouts great when im not in good form you get to beat it out of yourself chuckle

cant wait to get home to do shred theres too many people in the gym to do it at work so just did 5 k instead, need to break the frustration with something gut busting :)

Yup I sure do, do you? Play for a club in Limerick now though. Yeah train from Clonmel's pretty rubbish alright if you want to go to waterford from thurles you have to go to kildare and go backwards!!!!

Hahahahahaha gas! me too near thurles but I live in Limerick now

Yeah I'm about 2 stone heavier than I used to be but I'm the same size as I was a stone lighter, my body has changed to a certain extent from the exercise but I can't shift any weight at all since January. If I could get back to the 10 stone's at this stage I'd be very happy. Cork one sounds...

I was a bit disappointed I did the first 5 k in 26.30 and then was totally blown out after a bridge 6 k in had to walk nearly a km finished in just over an hour - was hoping for 56 min. But glad I got there anyway :)

Awesoooommmeee!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done you.

Love that show! From what I've seen the people have to loose the weight through realistic food and excercise

Yup I did was a very good event, my first time doing this one. It's a very different atmosphere to other runs. Next one is in 2 weeks time. Maybe you gained muscle? Trying to relax and forget about the numbers and just keep doing what I'm doing

You're doing awesome! Can't wait to get back to shred tonight missing 2 days with the 10k yesterday seemed like a lot.

:) good to know I'm not the only one so, nah he had enough last night when I got back from the 10K and weighed more and no change of inches I know things don't work that fast - I KNOW THAT but when your working so hard at it and nothing is shifting it is a real downer. I also know that all the...

OH has banned me for weighing or measuring myself for 3 weeks!

So sorry to hear that things are rocky dear if you ever want to talk you know where we are :)

LOL she clearly never did maths at school! Well done on beating your time maybe next time you should practise your boxercise on that one!!!

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA theres jumping jacks with weights in Level 3!

Well done daisy - I think level 2 will show you some real results compared to level 1 its tough but it's worth it. Finding 6 week 6 pack good but very tough when you do them back to back.

Delighted to hear your going to give it a shot you deserve to be healthy and full of life :)

Level 2 is good tougher than 1 but doable Sent from my GT-I9001 using MiniMins

Well done Mrs!!!!!!

If you want to visualise what you'd look like thinner there's some great tools out there like my virtual model you can put your pic of your face on the body and try on loads of different clothes its really fun.

I've got a mantra for myself from the book of the same name- "Run fat #$@ch Run"!!! ":)

In the spirit of the thread - I'll race you first to loose 2lbs wins :) and that way I get to be back in the blessed 11's. I just found a few bodycon dresses that used to fit like a glove in my press - if one ever needs motivation put one on in a size thats now too small, see the lumps and bumps...

Whooop your on a rolllll daisy :)

Thanks Pom, I will try I to eat more I've stopped taking my protein shakes the last few days that normally adds 400 cals (200 twice a day) so I'm usually around the 1200 mark maybe a little less. I might try to add in another small meal a day - I still live in fear of the binge from the bullemic...

Hi Laurenmay - welcome to the 30DS club lol! The calories burned depends on your weight and fitness level but by all accounts level 1 burns 170 to 210 calories. The best part about it though is not really the calories it burns during the session but also the after burn with the combined...

I guess the thing with almost all supplements is that they take several months to build up enough to show a difference....

Starting 6 week 6 pack along side 30 DS today - its 6 weeks to my holidays now and starting to have the beach blubber nightmares! 10 K on Monday cannot wait. Hoping to be 4 minutes faster than my last one. Down a half an inch on waist and hips this morning plus over a lb in weight down so its a...

What were the main things suggested in the book Lisa? Good news Ladies my first proper loss since January!!! Down 3.2 lbs over the last 2 weeks or so. Granted I'm only getting about 800-900 calories a day at the moment so I'd want to be loosing. Measured this morning down a half an inch on the...

Congratulations dear no wonder you look so good in the dresses

Forget about the food deal with the real problems around why your sad, food is just a tool your using to hurt yourself, not make yourself feel better. Take one day at a time. Remember all the reasons your lucky to be alive, write them down memorise them, feel gratitude to the deepest part of you...

Try a belt on the flowery one to pull in the waist maybe? Blue one is fab too

Hahahahahhahaha Guru Rod you've a great sense of humour. We soldier on eh?! I'll keep you updated on how it goes I'm off the protein shakes for this week to see what happens but I don't want to waste muscle tissue by training on empty either....

Thank you dear xx

The problem is if I stop I'll find it hard to start again so it's better to stay going for the 30 days for me unless its a planned non-shred day because I have a game or training. Its now only 6 weeks to my holidays in Portugal so I gotta give it everything I've never worn a bikini and this year...

That's fantastic congratulations and well done on the great work ethic. Pics are great! The proof is there that its working for you. Like that I've stopped doing diets they mess with not just my body but also my head and I developed a very bad (bulemic) relationship with food. So now I only eat...

Good morning and thank you :) Do you keep a food diary?

That sounds pretty a cool thing to wake up to!!!!

Unbelievably going down the stairs will most likely hurt more than going up it! So happy I got shred done today despite vomitting all morning *SUCCESS*

SHRED

Oh I wish I was in a position to have morning sickness but just won't be financially or maritally set up for babies for another few years haha OH says we have to wait till we buy a house and get settled in it- reasonable and logical as always! But no I guess in all likelihood there's very little...

Awwwwh lads has to be the funniest thread on Minimins!!! well done to all on the good work :D Look forward to getting some harsh words when I need them if I can avail of the services too. Its a really good skill to be able to handle critics and make it work in your favour.

Good Job sookie that means your doing it right!!! :D

Lovely dress Lou its very pretty and summery its lovely on you now anyway

When your ready! 10 days is a rough guide but when you feel up to level 2 yourself go for it.

Thanks hon I'm sure I'll be fine in a while....as long as its not morning sickness................. :s

:( sorry to whinge but I can't stop getting sick all morning I had to stop on the way into work to get sick was so embarrassing

Whooop you can do it!!! Looking forward to 10k next weekend have to say it feels ages since the last one even though it's only about 3 weeks ago lol

Thanks ladies we don't have Slimming World here I'm not on any set diet I'm just very careful (see my blog for food diary). Sounds like a good plan though to have some accountable extras.... Are you doing Slimming World?? We have up to 15syns a day to use on treats, chocolate, crisps, sauces...

I dont understand this syns business whats a syn?

Well done you! I wish it would just fall off me like it used to but it just won't.

Congratulations Gina delighted to hear it went so well :) how are the bleeding toes now? is it through your toenails they bleed?

HAHA you can do it - just think of the flat stomach! I've been trying to visualise putting on a really small pair of jeans with no muffin top its much harder to imagine than I thought it would be I kinda get the picture but I can't hold it for any length of time without seeing myself spill out...

WHOOP having a little party in my head - for the first time in ages I didn't put on weight over the weekend *dancing in chair* Hope you all had lovely weekends :)

Your doing super Miss one day is not a bad thing at all, its just to make sure its not 2 like sometimes happens me lol mortified my bfs father arrived in yesterday as I was shredding and he laughed his head off at me! Its kinda funny now wasn't so funny at the time :)

Yeah I do regular enough 10k's this is my 3 actual race in the last 7 weeks I think. I like them spaced out like that cause it keeps me running to have little goals. It's a lot more doable than you think :)

Well done :) need to get some longer runs in next week have a 10k next weekend
