yes my feet are now a size 5 but they were always a size 6, never realised I had fat feet before!

I've been using exercise as a main focus for my weight loss, I have now managed to pull my hamstring (while trying to bath a dog I might add!) I don't want to get out the way of exercising and therefore regain weight so can anyone suggest some exercise I could maybe do while it heals? I can...

Last week it was Tuesday (Zumba plus toning class) , Wednesday & Thursday for me. This week only Tuesday & Wednesday, the Thursday class isn't as good as the other two and is actually more expensive so I am on the look out for a 3rd class to fit in somewhere. I wouldn't have time to do more...

I've just had quark for the first time in my life after reading about it here. I had it with an options white chocolate, sweetner & vanilla essence served with warm juicy raspberries it was delicious and felt like a real gorgeous creamy treat. Definitely going to be adding this regularly to my...

Loving that the lighter nights are on their way back, I can get back out walking the dogs more at night rather than a quick toddle round the park. I prefer to walk on grass or similar as I find walking too much on concrete gives me a pain in my hip. Is your tracker an app for an iphone...

Iceland do packs of 5 for £1 :D

I am in the habit of eating low calorie ready meals as I live on my own and find that making my own meals is too expensive and leads to a lot of waste. Does anyone have any good recipe ideas that makes only 1 portion and is pretty cheap? I'd rather not make more and have to freeze it as I...

Going to try and make these and thinking could be nice with black pepper on or some spices? I love roasted veggies but just want to know are there any veggies I should avoid? I normally do leek, onion, carrot, parsnip and peppers are they all ok?

There are about 100 people in the class I go to on a Wednesday and I think it makes the hall a bit too cramped and I find I am restricting my movements a bit. On a Thursday I go to another class in a huge gym hall and there are maybe 40 people, lots of room to move but I don't think the...

Tonight the song that has stuck in my head is "Follow The Leader" and last week we did an intense arm workout to "Proud Mary". My favourite classes are a mix of Latin songs and chart music

A sports bra is best, I forgot to switch from regular bra for my class today and I felt I was jiggling about too much.

Just wondering if anyone uses any ankle or wrist weights for extra intensity?

Definitely agree with make the movements bigger, I went to a class last night with my friend and she wasn't putting as much in to it as I was and she came out looking exactly how she went in, I on the other hand came out looking like a dishevelled beetroot! I put as much in to the workout as I...

enjoyed reading through your experience. Congrats!

I went down from a GG to a F, still bigger than I would like to be but my back size has went down to a 32. Unfortunately, my boobs are the last to go.

Amazing inspiration, I can't wait till I can post my before and after pics. June 2011 I turn 30 and would love to be 9st 13lbs :D I can't remember being a single digit weight ever!

I walk all the time on my own but with my 3 dogs, I know despite them being placid Golden Retrievers that they would, if they had to, do anything to protect me. I don't think I would feel comfortable walking in rural areas on my own. However, with the dogs I will go anywhere.

you look wonderful and sooo much happier!

I don't mind telling people who have seen me at my fattest, but when I meet up with people who I perhaps haven't seen for years or new people in my life I never mention I have lost weight. It is embarassing to admit you let yourself get in that state. However, my Mum loves to tell people she...

Anyone out there taken up Roller Derby or just Roller Skating? I attended my first practice session yesterday. My first time on skates for probably 15 years and my legs, bum and surprisingly top of my arms (bingo wings) are really sore this morning. :eek:

When I started my weight loss I was 16st 4lbs, I initially felt that my waist was slimmer and then after a couple of stones it was my face that was most noticeable. I have photos where I am heavier than I am now but my face definitely looks slimmer so I think that in time your face regains a...

that's great news, I've been to my 2nd class this week and hoping to go to a third one tomorrow. I never thought I would enjoy exercise as much!

lots of the Weight Watcher ready meals are £1 in Iceland. I live on my own and figure it would cost me more to make the things than buy ready made and there is less waste.

my fave low cal treats are curly wurly 115 cals, slimfast bar 95 cals and the new cadbury biscuits are 75 cals. Even on a diet I have to have something sweet and preferably chocolate if I do without it I tend to give in and binge so I prefer to have smaller treats to keep my happy. Oh and I...

I'm just back from my 2nd Zumba class this week, tried out a new one and the class must have had 100 people at it. Loved the "fuego" song the one that goes Fuego, Fuego the roof is on fire!

Once did "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" that created a few giggles :)

I've just been the once to toning it is a half hour class after our regular hour class and I found the toning to be a nice lower intensity workout, the instructor provided the sticks but she did say that you can buy heavier ones. I'll see how it goes over the next few weeks and may invest in some.

Love Zumba, but found that the class is definitely only as good as the instructor! I've found a fantastic instructor on a Tuesday night and she has now added a half hour Zumba toning class after it. I prefer a good mix of latin songs and chart tunes and I come away from the class absolutely buzzing

Hi, just joined up tonight. My weight loss journey started in Sept 2008 at 16st 4lb by March 2010 I managed to get to 10st 6lb :D. However, 2010 was a difficult year and the weight started creeping back on and I am currently 11st 10lb. Although after the excess of Xmas I did manage to get up...
