Very disappointed with myself tonight, I thought I had got out of going to a family meal, but at the last moment all the plans changed and I had to go, no choice :cry: They didnt know I had started a lifestyle change and made me a lovely meal, but damn it was high in calories, in fact the one...

Really struggled again today, and I must admit it was my worst effort yet :mad:, had to stop twice for 5 secs to take a quick drink during the skipping, I thought my shins and calves were going to explode. The rest of my body really hurts, but I think in the good way, Just alittle worried about...

Yesterday has been the hardest day so far, the first day I have felt hungry and felt quite poorly after the 30 day shred workout. Had lightheadedness, dizzyness and sickness, took a good 15-20 mins to pass fully :jelous: My menu was a bit messed up due to the fact I had a lot on during the...

Well trying to lead a more balanced life and started to count cals and do some light exercise. First week was fine, just did 20 mins of very light workout and felt great. This week I started the 30 day shred, level 1. I feel crappy, I was expecting the burn and soreness, which I have tons of...

***Shocked*** but over the moon!!! Well happy doesnt quite cut it, had my first wiegh in this morning and I had lost 7lbs in my first week! I think pretty much all of that has to do with cutting down on the "Wine and Beers" if I am honest. So its a great start and a perfect way to begin my...

My first week hasnt been the best, due to having the wrong foods in the house and not really knowing what I was going to do. So I didnt keep a record of the first week, as it didnt really feel like I had started properly. I cut down on my Alcholic beverages only having a few drinks on the...

Thanks again to everyone for your advice and tips. I have become a member of myfitnesspal and will start using that from tomorrow. Its been a confusing first week, but I think I am starting to work out a plan of action. My first week has not really been the best from a diet view point, I...

Thanks Lady A, One of the main reasons for my compelete lifestyle change is because my GP told me I should go on medication, something I wish to avoid. I know I need to be more active, but its a bit like the chicken and the egg, I dont feel I can go do things in public because of my weight, I...

Thank you for your reply and warm welcome Emmaline, The choices are staggering, and if I am honest it seems as if theres too much choice! So far my simple plan that I formed in my head was :- 1. Do some form of exercise, that can be done behind closed doors, dont think I have the confidence to...
