LOL only time i'm up at 7am is when i'm at work. It has been the same time each day. Cant think that I would have gained much from my exercise yesterday (longest one in time for a while) but I guess we will see. Thanks for the positive spin :)

well both pounds 'lost' yesterday are back today. Dont ask me how, I havent done anything wrong just had the packs and (nearly) 4 litres of water yesterday plus my workout...*sigh*

well work out started at 9.25 and finished at 11.50. Only stopped to top up my water (and eventually cos my feet hurt), shattered and very sweaty (yummy)...

No inches lost yet as far as the tape measure will tell me. Weighed myself this morning (becoming a bit of an obsession) and am at 15.1 WOOHOO may hit my first mini goal this week. Think my body was just teasing me lol. Hopefully (with 3 more full days til the first week result) I may have a...

well day 3, only lost 1lb so far, bit disappointed as i've been very good and have had at least 2ltrs of water every day. Did 25 minutes of aerobics yesterday as well. Just done 40 minutes today, feeling very tired and wondering why this weight isnt coming off...

Good for you hun, you can do it!

I'm sure someone mentioned making the chocolate shake into a cake type thing but for the life of me I cant find the post now

or worn away lol

I would suggest trying the small meal a day option and see how you go.

Good luck, You can do it!

Distract yourself, go and clean the bathroom or play a game etc... I actually found earlier that exercise helped me...

Well done on day 2. I'm on day 2 as well and haven't had a major headache yet but feel very 'foggy' today. You can do this, you have the goal to aim for. Everyone here is really helpful. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Very well done you...hope mine is as good as that. :)

Thanks hun. Very uncomfortable this afternoon, gone off a bit now but still flares up every now and then. I thought that once the fatty foods and soft drinks were gone the heartburn would go as well. Hopefully mine will follow your example lol

Just completed 20 minutes of exercise (on top of the 2 hours of house work I did this morning). According to the Wii that's 200 calories gone. Mushroom soup....umm..well it's better than the tomato soup (not difficult) but still very powdery. There must be a way of making these things taste better

Caveman

As Dieting alone doesn't seem to reduce my belly fat (earlier in the year I was spending at least 1.5 hours a day, 4 times a week exercising including specific belly exercises and it went no where) I thought I would try GForm. Initially did it at my local salon, I had several injuries which...

Glad someones getting good weather lol. I'm sat on the sofa and it looks like night time out there.

I had something like that with LL, lasted a week and I ended up stopping. Couldn't work or anything with it but it didn't happen to me til week 2.

Hi all Suffered with this before I started TS but not sure how I would treat it now. Had it this afternoon and its not very comfortable at all. Normally I'd either have cold milk or Gavisgon but dont think I can have either now??

Glad you're feeling better

Feeling really heady and tired now, had a kip (knew I had the first week off for a good reason). Went out for 'lunch' with my dad earlier and just had water at the pub...VERY retrained for me. Big test tomorrow as am going to a football game and normally have a snack at half time...could be...

I found it helps for about 30 seconds then i'm back to square one. I'd end up drinking about 10 litres of water lol

Hi all The dreaded bad breath is creeping in, I have seen that you can use mouthwash from the exante site but wondered if anyone had found any other tricks?

Good luck, I'm now on day 2. It's tough but I'm determined. I tried LL a few years ago. Spent more on that in a week than I did shopping for 2 people! Lost 14lbs in two weeks tho (I was bigger then than I am now). which kept me going it was just the side effects that I didn't like. Everyone's...

I'm not a massive fan of tomato soup anyway but I found it very powdery and actually quite plain. Going to try mushroom tonight....

Well done Sophie, It is hard. I'm on day two and had to sit here last night whilst my OH had meatballs for dinner and I had a (rather horrible) tomato soup from a packet...

Thanks for that, I'm planning on going 'back to normal' for that weekend just so that I can enjoy myself a little bit. After that I'll be too hectic to eat anyway lol. Will start again when back from honeymoon because I want to do the race for life next year and cant run with all this extra...

well, day two started at 8am. So far I've tidied and dusted he bedroom, cleaned the bathroom and done the washing up. Now sitting down with my strawberry breakfast and first pint of water. Water bottle is filled and in the fridge (hate warm water). Once brekkie is finished am going to put the...

Thanks, I have plenty to keep me busy. I need to go through my wedding stuff and sort it all out. Also need to tidy and clean the home plus looking after my animals and I want to start reading my book again...fingers crossed

Started today, took advantage of the 50% off deal on the website and took the plunge. Nearly onto litre 3 of water (not bad for me). I've had Banana milkshake (very nice), toffee, nut and raisin bar (not too bad) and the tomato and basil soup (dreadful!) This is my second attempt at a...

I'm currently 44 days from my wedding day. So far this year I've just exercised and eaten healthily. Had to give up on exercise several times after picking up injuries so haven't gotten as far as I would have liked. At 15st 4lbs, I've decided that drastic action needs to be taken so have just...

Well I hope I am, I seem to get ill once I've been exercising for a week or more... Good luck to you too

Well since my last post I've had every illness going so am now back to square one as all my weight has come back on but I now only have 2 months to do it......ARGH

Hi Thanks for that, I've started doing weights but normally have to put them down after a few reps because it hurts...

Thanks hun, I dont really know how to strengthen round that joint...It seems to be better than it has been this week

LOL, thats what I thought! :D

Well done Kimmy thats great!. I lost 3lbs last week...not bad considering I had a pizza on Saturday lol

Yeah I was, it is hard going out for food. Maybe look on line for ideas. I think one of the main things is little or no dressing on things

I'll put myself down for 12 hours as I normally workout with DVD's

Weighed in on Sunday and lost 4lbs (woohoo)! only means that technically Ive lost 1lb since starting but its a move in the right direction. I'm aiming for an hour to an hour and a half 5 times a week. Did 30 minutes today for 2 reasons, 1 I've got an essay to finish and 2 my muscles hurt from...

Anyone else have this? I attempted it last night (bought it on Saturday). Managed the warm up and the main workout (only stopping twice) but didnt have enough energy for the abs section. Exhausting but felt good

Yeah thats it. Didnt get it last night but sometimes I can just be reaching for something and it happens. Wouldnt say it hurts but sometimes if I've been working out and its happened a few times my arm can feel a bit 'dead'. Ive never been in a car accident (thankfully), cant figure out...

4lbs last week....WHOOP! :D

Sometimes I think that you just have to put in a bit more effort to 'get over the hump'

Its not the same as that (my knees do that all the time when I crouch down) its more of a dull click (maybe should have said thudding feeling)

Ok, hoping someone might be able to help me here. Basically sometimes when I work out, I get a weird clicky feeling in my arms (round the shoulder joint) and in my right knee. In the main it doesnt hurt but obviously I know that this cant be normal. Any suggestions?

Well I dont want to say anything just yet but this week is looking good so far. I've done over 5 and a half hours exercise this week with 1 and a half still to go....

LOL, almost is better than not at all.

Looking at around 3 stone or 2 dress sizes...

I've heard that before but I haven't been hungry so I've eaten until I'm not hungry and stopped

Yeah I now what you mean, the weeks are ticking by and I've just put on 3lbs somehow! ;(

I've been wracking my brains as to why I've put on 3ibs this week but nothing so far. I've been chocolate and Crisp free all week and even with reduced portions, I've been leaving food on my plate plus the 5 hours of exercise last week...I'm stuck....and narked off!

I know I shouldnt be hard on myself but I HAVE to get this weight off otherwise the wedding dress wont fit which will be a disaster! I've just done 3 hours! I ache and I'm tired but feel better for doing it.

Your welcome Tinkerbelle. I always think its best that people fully research these things. Even with the Cambridge diet at £39, that still more than I pay for my half of the food a week.

I rented a room from a couple who had a cat, he wasnt even interested lol

Well seeing as my first week was wrecked by stupid illness and I was 6 weeks late starting anyway due to family illness and bereavement...Ive managed 2 x 1 hour work outs this week (I was still poorly on Monday, did an hour on Tuesday, don't do Wednesday as its shopping and Avon drops, another...

All these diet things are more expensive than they need to be. Sounds like your a bit like me, want to see changes instantly...which isnt going to happen lol

I have a whole host of different ones. Joanna Hall - 28 day total body plan Joanna Hall - Drop a size for life Dont know who the next three are by but I got them in Sainsburys for about £4 each and these are in 10 minute sections Calorie and carb burn All over toning Yoga for beginners...

Lighter life is a minimum calorie diet. You start by drinking nothing but water (and I think unsweetened black tea) and having 3 shakes a day. Later in the programme you can have bars etc Side effects can be headaches, lethargy and bad breath (I've even heard it said that it can cause gall...

I started last week and only managed 1 session cos I came down with tonsillitis(!) but started again on Tuesday this week (probably a bit early if I'm honest). I'm doing at least 60 minutes, 5 times a week. I'll give it a couple of weeks to see if it starts to work cos sometimes it takes a while...

I currently have 10 of the lovely little fuzz butts. 5 girls (Ruby, Delilah, Daisy, Poppy and Izzy) and 5 boys (Ernie, Bert, Ant, Dec and Dougie)

Ive just started (again (I lost the work I had done previously when I moved the 1st time)) mine. Got back into it when my grandparents passed away in January this year. Just want my family to have a record of who they are and where they came from. Bit stuck at the moment with my great...

I love Cross stitch, dont have a lot of time to do it at the moment but I did do a baby 'sampler' for a friend of mine when his little girl was born.

I'm a season ticket holder at Southampton FC. Have been since 2002, previous to that I was a member but went to al the games. I've supported them since 1993/94 season when my dad took me to see them away, last game of the season at Upton park (my 2nd team). In typical Saints style, we needed to...

Currently reading Gone by Mo Hayder. Next up is Ranulph Fiennes

The other thing you could try is bin all the bad food and just keep healthy snacks in the cupboard. That way if you do end up snacking its not a big bag of crisps or bar of chocolate etc

Treat this as a blip. Forget what that person said and make a promise to yourself that you will not follow those people who put it all back on. Ive been one of those and I know exactly what, why and how...Ive promised myself it will not happen again. No one can tell you what will happen to...

I have the sketchers version and use them for walking. It feels very strange at first but once you get used to it they are fine and I think they have helped strengthen my legs and improve my posture

In another thread of mine, my friend is a rower and according to her BMI she is overweight which is ridiculous. A few years back my doctor put me on diet pills and the nurse who checked me every 2 weeks told me that the charts arent right. It all depends on body 'size' and structure. Not...

I got my copy the other day, from reading this thread I think I'll build up my stamina before attempting this. I know what I'm like, if I find it too difficult I'll give up and stop exercising all together and I cant do that lol

Cool, we can keep each other going :)

Dont give up, we could 'buddy up' if you like? As Ive said somewhere else, weight isnt the thing its how I look that matters

Its interesting isnt it that all these videos and 'diet gurus' go on about weight when it would seem that actually if you look and feel good you can do anything... I get in from work exhausted but force myself to do my workout and by the end, im still tired but feel better about myself and I'm...

I've changed mine this week as I had another set back (in the form of tonsilitis!) last week its now 110, 5 days a week and at least 45 minutes on a Sunday. Thisn basically leaves me Wednesday night (shopping night) and Saturday (studying & Avon)

Bless you, my OH's nephew walked up to me last sunday (after I'd just given him his birthday present and helped with his party) and said 'You are the fattest link...goodbye' Didnt know whether to laugh, cry or hit him :confused:

Thanks, so do I...very frustrating lol

to help with your weight loss or support your body? Just wondering whether things like Acai berries (tablet format or otherwise) are worth it. Does anyone use Alli?

No change in my first week, mind you I only managed an hour of exercise...I came down with tonsillitis on Wednesday and have had to miss all exercise since then :mad:

Dress size and appearance or actual weight? I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about this the other day, really and truthfully I am more worried about how I look than how much I weigh. Shes an athlete and actually (according to how much she weighs and the BMI table) shes classed...

Yeah tried slimming world, weight watchers, cabbage soup diet...etc etc all start off ok then (whilst still following the diets) the weight creeps back on. A friend of mine held the SW class I went to, she couldn't believe that I could be putting my weight back on whilst following the diet so I...

My word! wish I had that amount of time to exercise, I've only just come in from work and about to do my 30mins before house work and then studying. Good for you!

As I'm starting 6 weeks late (due to family illness and losing them both in the space of 6 days), I've only just drawn my plan up for this. I'm not a big exercise fan and prefer walking but my 1.5 mile walks to work and the same back aren't working for me, so my plan is as follows: Mon...

Mines the 7th. I tried Lighter Life, lost a stone in 2 weeks which was great. I did find the tiredness, headaches etc a bit much so packed it in (plus I was spending more on that than my weekly shop lol). WW didnt work for me, lost a couple of lbs and just put them back on then didnt move (did...

Hi No, Ive pretty much tried them all so think Im stuck with healthy eating and exercise...plus all these diets cost too much and I have a wedding to pay for lol

And want to lose at least 3 stone by June/July time. I mistakenly bought a wedding dress in what I thought was my size )measurements made sense) but it is about 2 dress sizes too small art the moment. Ive tried pretty much every diet going and nothing has worked. I work full time, have a...

Hi all New to the site. I live with my fiancee in Fareham. We are getting married in September and want to lose at least 3 stone by June
