Omg I love animal biscuits. How many syns are they?

I had tuna salad- it's getting a bit dull now though! Think I'll bring some soup in for tomorrows lunch :-)

Sorry to hear about your rubbish weekend seanin! Men can be such idiots sometimes. Agree on the not binging front, you will only feel worse afterwards. Let him come grovelling back I say!! I've had a row like that with my other half before, them storming out for no reason seriously doesn't help...

Thanks for asking - she's doing really well, think she is getting bored of the hospital now though! We are all off for marrow testing soon (theres 7 cousins) as its fairly likely she will need a transplant but she's feeling a lot better after chemo and lots of transfusions. Hopefully she will...

Welcome back funky monkey! Glad to hear you are back on the wagon :D I always meant to ask before are you a big fan of ariel? My friend at work loves her so i am always on the look out for ariel related things. Im off to Disney in January - one of my big motivators for losing weight - want to...

Hi everyone, its very quiet in here at the mo! How is everyone? Suez_c only a one and a half pound gain after a month off is fab!! Did you actively make better choices or just happen to have only put on a little bit? I am quite worried about hitting target (if i ever get there) and not...

Syn free potato bread sounds amazing. What sort of thing is it good to serve with? x

I know you said specifically ones you can buy at the supermarket but i know lots of people rave about the joes sausages ones that you can order online. They do loads of other meats as well and they are meant to be really tasty. My friend bought some and they turned up in a few days at her...

Hi everyone!! :D Weighed in on Wednesday and finally got into the 11s for the first time in years! So now at 11 stone 12.5 and bouncing in to join your thread... onwards to the 10s. Off to make some super speedy soup today (and maybe a curly surly scan bran cake - the last one i had was...

Hi All, Haven't updated in a while so i think since i started the 6 months challenge i've lost about 6lbs, though when i worked it out it said 5.5 so i'll stick with that :) Off to make some super speedy soup and then those 26 left will be gone gone gone!! Hope you are all having a fab...

My NSV this week- I went to a gig last night and actually turned down alcohol- instead having water to stay on plan! Very pleased :-)

We should start our own northern team!! Xx

Hiya everyone! I'm sadly leaving you all this evening as I weighed in at 11 stone 12 and a half pounds - lost 2.5 pounds :-D Hopefully see you all in the next thread soon!! Xx

That's a great loss! Well done!! I lost 2.5 this week which am very pleased about :-) got my stone sticker and hit the next 'bracket' so hit one of my mini goals!

Thank you muchly!! :-D x

The only thing I can think was that at the weekend I made loads of portion size treats- like cheesecake. They were 1 syn each and tasted amazing. I therefore only had 6 syns a day ish. I've also been doing mainly red days and I think that has helped! Plus vaguely watching portion sizes...

I so know what you mean about not wanting to get up! Congrats on the 2lbs- fab loss :-) My WI was last night and I've lost 4.5lbs.... In one week!! How I did that i will never know. Only half a pound away from the stone sticker now which is very exciting. Xx

Hiya everyone! :-) Lost 4.5 Lbs this week!! Yey!! Best loss so far. Hopefully I'll be into the next group next week as I am now officially 12 stone on the dot. Happy me!!! :-D x

4 and a half pounds!! Get in there!! :-D well chuffed!! Though slightly annoyed as if it was 5 I would have got my stone award, but hey something to look forward to next week!! Good luck to everyone still to weigh in. X

24 and a half - started at 13 stone (a good few weeks back) and last week was at 12.4 and a half! :D Hoping for a good loss this week :) I am originally from the north east - Darlington to be exact! You can do it - just stick to plan and plan meals in advance and you'll get there xx

Hi All! I'd like to join in, not really for Xmas but for my 18 day holiday in the states - flying on 31st December! :D EXCITED! I need to lose 39lbs by then - onwards!! Amy2249 28lbs* (0lbs lost ~ 28lbs to go) Blue Bunny 31lbs* (1lbs lost ~ 30lbs to go) Bobsledwheels 32lbs* (0lbs lost ~...

Hi All! Seeing as though i missed May AND June I am going to go for it big style this month :) I am aiming for a loss of 8lbs (which is a lot for me!) I am hoping that i won't have too many social things etc which always equal a gain. Aaliyah27 7lbs (0lbs lost, 7lbs to go) Annya 4lbs...

I havent found one yet that i LOVE... they are edible but i think the best thing about them is that they help your digestive system 'work better' essentially. The all chocolate one was ok - i cant say i loved it but it was edible. I am going to make a curly wurly one tomorrow so i will let you...

Hiya everyone!! I am soooo back on the bandwagon :D I've been awol for a few weeks on holiday. Thankfully went to WI tonight and had only put on half a pound woop! Bought a countdown as well - so am starting july at a weight of 12 stone 4 and a half pounds. Hopefully will be in the next group...

Put on half a pound - but am sooo chuffed as i was essentially off plan for a fortnight whilst i was on holiday. I was making better choices than normal but did eat chocolates and fish and chips etc so very happy with only a half pound gain! That gives me hope for when i am at target :) So...

Hi to all the new people! I know what you mean about the washing lol I get on a mission sometimes... I've got weigh in tonight and after my near enough fortnight off I am ready for my gain. If it's 3 or less I'll be happy. Getting a countdown tonight though to try and get back on track. Will...

39 minutes is amazing dewinter! I was at the same point as you not too long ago and I've stopped doing it! Sob!! I really want to start again but don't want to start from the beginning- I want to go out but don't want to be disappointed that I can't do it anymore. What do you guys think? I was...

Do you have the recipe for super speed soup?

Thankyou both - I am feeling much better today - have applied for four or five jobs and have heard back from SW and they are putting me forward to the district manager to go on an 'opportunity day' to find out more which is quite exciting! Haven't heard anything more about my cousin - she...

You've never been measured?! It's really important to get measured regularly- the right size bra is a godsend! When I was smaller I used to go to marks and spencers- but now I am a gg cup I tend to go to bravissimo who cater for bigger boobs. I find bravissimo better as they really know their...

Gotta love morrissons! I'm off there later today to buy some grub! They have such a better reduced section than other stores. So how is everyone? I've not been around much recently as work has been awful then been on holiday for a week. I've just eaten whatever I wanted and feel uncomfortable...

I bought my first pair of size 14 jeans at the weekend!! Woop! Was struggling to get into 16s and some 18s at Christmas xx

Down to 12stone 4pounds now :-) not far to go!! Xx

Lost 2 pounds last week and 2 pounds this week- so got past my 0.5lbs gain from week 1 :-) AJB 10lbs (0bs lost, 10lbs to go) babybuffy84 7lb (1.5 lost 5.5 to go) BeckyT 6lbs (2lbs lost, 6lbs to go) Beki - 6lb (1lb lost, 5lb to go) Bobsledwheels - 6lb (3.5lbs lost, 2.5lbs to go) Butt3rb34n (3lbs...

Put on half a pound last week so desperately hoping for a loss. Didn't have a fab day on Saturday or yesterday but not too bad the rest of the week. Plus am hoping I have lost at least 1.5lbs as if so I get my first sticker! Is it odd that I both dread and look forward to weigh in?

WI on Wednesday- had a half pound gain! Sob!! I had been on plan too :-( stressful week though and my stomach doesn't like stress and gets v bloated so hoping to see the benefits in a big loss this coming week. AJB 10lbs (0bs lost, 10lbs to go) babybuffy84 7lb (0lbs lost, 7lbs to go) BeckyT...

I had a 0.5 gain this week- was mucho sad as I was on plan all week. Been a stressful week though so think my stomach might just be deciding not to play nice. So am now 12stone 8pounds. Hoping to get into the 11s before July :-D x

My achievement today- I made a scan bran cake and actually ate some! Xx

I had a tuna salad which wasn't all that nice tbh!

Well done trixy!! Great loss this week. See you soon hopefully! Weigh in tomorrow for me- the wii is saying no loss (boo!) but I'm hoping the SW scales will be my friend tomorrow! And I've just made a scan bran cake. Nom nom nom... (haha maybe! I hope it's edible)

Hiya everyone! Sorry I've not been around much recently- I normally pop in and say hello but had such a manic few weeks. Lost 2lbs last week which I was chuffed with but this week my wii fit seems to say I've not lost an ounce. Guess I'll find out tomorow! It's taster week this week though so...

I'm really nervous too- the wii says I haven't lost anything and I only need to lose a pound to get my first stickie! Don't feel like I've managed it though.

I had such a lovely lunch today at westfields I thought I would share. There is a place called tossed where you can get hot or cold salads that you create yourself. I had noodles with chicken, roasted tomatoes, peppers, spring onions, red onions and soy sauce. Delish!!

I lost 2lbs this week so well chuffed with that! :D Inching closer to the goal ;) x

I am aiming for a 6lb loss this month. I would have gone for 8lb to get into the 11 stone bracket but I have a week off on the 20th June and I think that will probably be at best a STS week so 6lbs it is! babybuffy84 7lb (0lbs lost, 7lbs to go) BeckyT 6lbs (0lbs lost, 6lbs to go) Beki - 6lb...

Aislingb - 8lbs (0lbs lost - 8 lbs to go) Alilou21 - 6lbs (3lbs lost - 3lbs to go) Athens -7lbs (6lbs lost - 1 lbs to go) Babybuffy84 - 6lbs (0lbs lost - 6lbs to go) Beki - 10lb (4.5lb lost - 5.5lb to go - didn't make it, oh well!) Berniegray242 - 7lbd (0.5lbs lost - 6.5 lbs to go) Bobsledwheels...

Lost 2 pounds last night and was mucho pleased!! RE losing the 7lbs you put on over your holiday- scan bran and lots of water. Plenty of superfree foods and you'll get it off in a few weeks! Xx

End of next month lol... I don't expect to lose half a stone in a weekend haha

I lost 2lbs at last nights WI which was unexpected :-) Am now at 12 stone 7 and a half which I was over the moon with! Hopefully will be into the 11s By the end of the month.

This is possibly the best NSV I've ever read! Almost fell over laughing. I can't wait for this to happen- although I must admit holding up all the water is fun- yes I am an overgrown child at heart...

2lbs off for me this week. Really pleased as it felt like nothing even though I'd been good. Total loss is now 6lbs over 4 weeks so am pleased :-)

Noodles with turkey and Ginger from the new extra easy book. Was sooo nice.

Hiya everyone :) Hope everyone is having a good weekend! Its been a funny one for me - lots of people over at the flat so there have been lots of chocolates and sandwiches and things about. Not sure why everyone picked this weekend but hey ho! So had a bad day yesterday but its really...

Hi All! I've been in the middle of postgrad submission dates this week but my final assignment is now gone so I am back on the running bandwagon! I've decided i need a plan to keep motivated for the second half of the program, so this week i am going to do w4r3 on Tuesday, w5r1 on Friday...

Prawns with pasta and rocket, with a tomato chilli and garlic sauce from the new extra easy book. Strawberries and a mullerlight vanilla and chocolate for desert

We need to get a list going chaps! Biggirl86 - Lose 42lbs by 29/08 - (0lb lost 42lbs to go) Bobsledwheels - Lose 40lbs by 31/12 - (1.5lbs lost 38.5lbs to go) Poppy81 - Lose 28lbs by September - (2.5lbs lost 25.5lbs to go) MandiNKel - Lose 14 & 1/2 lbs by mid august - (2lbs lost 12.5lbs to go)...

I need to go to Sainsburys today to get lunch (which is a first for me!) anyone got any suggestions of what i could get that is quick and low syn? Ta muchos!

Hi all! WI last night - lost 1.5lbs which I was happy with :-) feel better again now as I was quite down last week. RE xbox games- you can't beat the obstacle courses on kinect adventures! They are hard work if you put the effort in. I love dance central too! Fab game xx

I've lost 1.5lbs this week- was hoping for a 2 but happy with a 1.5!! Am now 12stone 9 and a half so hopefully a few more weeks and I'll be waaay closer to 11! :-)

Lost 1.5lbs at group this week :-) my target was 2 so not too far off!! Acc - 8lbs (5lbs off - 3lb to go) Aislingb - 8lbs (0lbs lost - 8 lbs to go) Alilou21 - 6lbs (0lbs lost - 6lbs to go) Athens -7lbs (5lbs lost - 2 lbs to go) Babybuffy84 - 6lbs (0lbs lost - 6lbs to go) Beki - 10lb (2.5lb lost...

Lost 1.5lbs. Am happy with that!! :-) slow and steady wins the race!

I've got a new holiday to add! June 21st- I would like to lose 7lbs by then as a mini target!! It's only a few days in the lake district but still it's a nice aim :-)

Well done Em that's fab news!! X

That's great news! A huge motivation as well to stay on track. Hope it all goes well for you! X

I did week 4 run 1 on Saturday and omg do my legs ache!! Aiming to do run 2 tonight but I'm hoping my legs ache because they crave another one- not because they've been overworked!

Noodles with chicken, red onion, peppers and spring onion, cooked in soy sauce and Chinese five spice. Followed by strawberries covered in vanilla and choc mullerlight. Afternoon snack of melon.

If you are a fan of sausages, it might be worth looking at a company called joes sausages. They are syn free and you can buy them online :-) xx

Managed to start week 4 today! Was well chuffed as I was looking at the two 5 min runs quite worryingly. Felt fab as well :-) Karen.hat (week 2 day 3 complete) Margery Dawe (week 3 Day 1 ) ChocolateTrish (week 3, day 1 done) misspinky8 (week 1 day 0) Mrsplymdaz (week 1, day 1 done) Nymple (Week...

Love the shoes Capricorn!! Xx

I had leftover paella. Chicken and bacon with chorizo- 1 syn per portion. It's such a nice recipe!!

Oh I know what you mean about game playing - we are quite blunt so there is no game playing, i just didn't want to share a bed with a huffy monster so slept elsewhere. He was perfectly nice the next day lol. Men hey - can't live with them - can't live without them!! I hope today is better!! xx

Not really - it wasn't intentional, i just hadn't fancied any 'extras' as such and i always cook with fry light so can't even get any from the oil lol. I have just eaten loads from the superfree and free foods and not really fancied anything else! Even then the syns only came from chorizo...

Hi all!! How's everyones last few days gone? I've managed to get through the last few days having 2 syns in total. Had an awesome paella for tea nom nom nom. Hopefully a run in the morning too. Am determined to lose this week! Xx

You can just change it to what you had lost- you don't need to start back at the beginning! ;-) It's an easy mistake to make x

Hello chaps - bit sad today :-( last nights WI I stayed the same. I'm a bit disappointed as I only had one night out and was good the rest of the week :-( Thankfully I feel better today than I did last night. As last night I just wanted to munch a cheeseburger in a 'fine well sod 'it'' manner...

That is great to hear! :-D xx

Well done to everyone on some great losses!! See you all soon in the next thread hopefully :-) I'm viewing this week as a new start. I am absolutely doing it 100% I do not want to STS or gain next week. Back on the wagon big style!!

That's great!! I'm thinking of signing up for another one as at my current rate I'm not going to be able to run my full one in mid June. There is one in September in Hyde park I'm looking at. It's a great motivator- and you will make it don't worry!! X

Jacket potato with beans and cheese, planning on getting some mullerlights as well from sainsbos. Got some strawberries with onken fat free vanilla yoghurt for afters. Delish!!

STS this week :-( but never mind - next week will be a good one! Have updated mine as my loss had also disappeared Acc - 8lb (4.5lbs lost - 3.5lb to go) aislingb - 8lbs (0lbs lost - 8 lbs to go) Athens -7lbs (0lbs lost - 7 lbs to go) Babybuffy84 - 6lbs (0lbs lost - 6lbs to go) Beki - 10lb (0lb...

I'm the opposite- can't manage pineapple but love melon! Nom nom nom!! I can't believe those treats are that many syns! They are so tiny! Someone in my group suggested getting one of those small bags of buttons and freezing them- you've then got to suck them for ages before you can bite into...

Very disappointed- stayed the same. I was pretty good this week as well. Really feel motivation slipping and would love to go get a cheeseburger and slice of cake now :-( Doesn't seem worth eating all of the rabbit food to not be losing. Sad me!! Xx

Tuna salad with lots of types of lettuce, sweetcorn, tomatoes, cucumber and pepper with some boiled eggs nom nom. Melon for my afternoon snack.

Krupskaya that's fab! You met target in like two weeks!! Well done x

I've chopped up my melon in preparation today!! I'm quite concerned - my weigh in is tonight and I go on my wii every morning and I've pretty much stayed the same all week. Now normally I would be happy with that but I've been so good this week I can't figure out where I've gone wrong! Maybe...

I'm quite concerned about tomorrow- I just feel heavy if you know what I mean? I've been really good generally I just don't feel like I've lost :-( We will see tomorrow I guess!

I think holidays are a fab motivation! Where are you both heading off to? Diane xx

Hiya :-) Just wanted to drop by and add that you aren't alone! I rarely lose if I've been exercising but I feel loads better and those inches are just as good as those pounds in loss! Keep up the good work- next week will be a big loss, your body will catch up with all of the effort and you...

That sounds handy! I would definately look at using the sauces - as much as i enjoy making my own, its nice to be able to cook something quickly. x

Cottage pie- made syn free on Sunday and warmed up in the microwave. Served with cherry tomatoes. Strawberries and vanilla fat free onken for desert nom nom nom.

Tinytootz- sts is still good! Considering you thought you would gain I think sts is an achievement. I'm with you on a week of 100% I am going to do one perfect week next week. I only fell off on Friday but still I've not done one yet so this week is the week! Butterfly- dya not like...

Hiya :) Thought i would drop by as i read your diary and think you are doing well logging everything! Have you started the C25k yet? Its genuinely really good - i am doing week 4 run 1 tonight, and although the first run of each week is hard it is definately getting easier as i go through...

A fritatta! I saw a fab recipe that had onions and potato in a fritatta with some herbs that you could eat hot or cold - i think it was in one of the starter books actually. I will try and fish it out at home this evening and post it up xx

P.S Misty i love the glittery micky - did you have to request him from the site? I am off to WDW in January - thats my goal aim date ;) x

Keep going Em - half a pound is definately in the right direction. I know what you mean about scale hopping - i go the scales every morning which is really not good. It's on the wii fit - I have now not missed a day in four weeks so its become an addiction. Mine went up by less than half a pound...

Hey hey! My aim is for a holiday too - though its for a winter holiday so a bikini might be a bit chilly! I fly to NYC on 31st December, then to Florida on the 5th Jan. The aim is to be under 10 stone when i go - currently I am 12stone 11lbs. Would be great to be able to wear nice...

Totally agree on that! The woman is good and some of the music isn't too bad but sometimes it's awful. Still it's a good podcast for motivation and timing. I don't think I would be doing it without it.

Hiya cleogin!! Welcome to the 12 stone thread! Hopefully you'll be in and out of here really quick but looking forward to having you around for a couple of weeks! :-D I'm 12 stone 11 at the mo so have a similar distance to go to the 11s xx

This is a lot better! How's about adding some sliced tomatoes onto lunches eggy bread? You really can have as much fruit and veg as you want :-) xx

I normally love melon, but I'm starting to find it a bit merh... I normally have honeydew but it seems to get more tasteless every time I have it. What other melons do people recommend? Xx

I agree with the others- I don't think you are eating enough. Plus I think (in my humble opinion) you could maybe do with some more super free foods? You're meant to eat a third super free- maybe more fruit and veg would help? Plus with all that exercise your body really does need the calories xx

I know it's really hard. My problems are nice cold White wines and ice creams! I keep telling myself though that in three months time when all of the summer clothes are on sale and it's hot hot hot, I can go out- buy an amazing bikini and go and sunbathe in the park or on the beach and be...

Hope it goes well! 4 lbs is a fab aim xx

Pasta with cannelini beans, bacon carrot and chopped tomatoes. Yummy!!

What is a 30 day shred DVD? Xx

I had a lovely one this week - I met up one of my old work friends (who i haven't seen in a few months) who said i looked like half the person I was before - she didn't even know i was dieting or running or anything so it makes it even better :D Am so chuffed!!

Finally found the motivation and finished week 3!! WOOO!! Karen.hat (week 2 day 3 complete) Margery Dawe (week 3 Day 1 ) ChocolateTrish (week 3, day 1 done) misspinky8 (week 1 day 0) Mrsplymdaz (week 1, day 1 done) Nymple (Week 6, Day 2 Complete) sofartogo! (Week 7, Day 3 Complete)...

Hiya Jem, Just spotted your pics and thought i would leave a message - you look completely amazing :D What a fantastic transformation! I love this forum, it is always so inspiring and it is those type of pics and photos that do it. Diane xx

Today i made the recipe in the supercharged slimming book - chunky minestrone soup. Only it became less of a soup and more of a pasta dish and i must admit i really enjoyed it! :D Made some extra to take to work tomorrow for my lunch - its always nice to have some pasta instead of a salad...

Well done Em on resisting! Its those damn cocktail sausages on sticks that get me every time... i LOVE them! Then I realised how many syns they were... hmmm! Hope everyone is having a fab weekend - i've tried some new slimming world recipes (and made some up myself) and been v happy with...

Mousie thats a fab loss!! Big congrats to you!! xx

Hi all :D Thought i would pop by as you were all so nice yesterday. Benji55 - i am aiming for 2 pounds next week as well, hope it goes well for you! My first weigh in tonight and i lost 2.5lbs :D mucho chuffed!! Onwards and downwards ;) to next week i say! xx

Just got home from my first Wednesday weigh in - lost 2.5lbs which i am very chuffed with! :D Hopefully next week will be another 2lbs and i will do a happy dance! Congrats to all who have done well this week xx

Hi All! So my first weigh in... and i've lost.... dun dun duuuuun.... 2 and a half pound!! :D Am so chuffed - especially as i thought i had really fallen off it at the weekend. Clearly my other days made up for it. Muchos happy! :D xx

Mucho disappointed. They didn't have any of the ones you guys recommended. They only had the little ones. I ended up with one pot wonders which is a bit pants. Humph!! X

Well done sadie! Drinking with my friends is such a huge downfall of mine- I failed at the weekend to avoid the lure so I'm impressed with people that manage it! Well done! :-D Xx

Hi all! I'll be on later to read everyones updates properly - my first weigh in is tonight though eeeek! So thought I would drop by to share this scary fact with you all. Plus I know I've been naughty... I'm quite concerned! I figure there is always next week :-) Diane xx

Thanks guys! I might get the ee book, and then as an extra treat if I've lost- the fiver one :-) x

Hi All, I am going to get myself a little treat tonight at group in the shape of a slimming world recipe book :) Which one would you recommend? x

5 lbs is a great result! Well done!! I've got my first weigh in tomorrow night - wish me luck! :D I'll be chuffed if I even lose a pound!! x

Agree with everyone on the running front - have you tried the couch to 5k scheme? Its great at getting you started again. The best thing about running- its free! Also Zumba is fab. A great workout. My fave though - i started an ice skating class - and now i can't get enough of it and go for...

That's my thoughts too. Got a great big salad for lunch so I'm back on the wagon today! I'm going to try for no syns until after WI on Wednesday and hopefully I'll STS. Xx

I'm really behind chaps!! I should have done week 3 run 3 by now but I had such a busy weekend I didn't get round to it. I know I need to carry on but really struggling to get out the door at the mo! Anyone else had this problem? X

Well done clareel!! Hope to see you over there soon :-D xx

Hi all! I've just read everyones posts from the last few days and everyones been so good over the bank holiday! Congrats everyone! I'm in the naughty camp though- gave myself a load more syns as it was my friends 25th birthday 'weekender' - 2 days of partying and 1 day at Thorpe park. Had a...

Hi circes - how strange it came up as a new thread on my screen! X

Hiya!! I started this week too - hope it goes well for you! It seems quite simple although i must admit i am missing the snacks. I didn't know that about bananas and grapes... i've been eating loads of them eek. Off to the market tomorrow for lots of fruit and veg nom nom nom xx

Hi All! I am in the 12 stone category (currently 12 stone 13! so only just in 12 stone!) and my aim is to be just under 10, but need to get to 11 first so thought I would pop by and say hello... so hi all! :D Looking forward to catching up with you all through the next few weeks. Diane xx

Hi All! Could i join this buddy thread? I've read through the first few pages but then realised there were 30+ and skipped to the end ;) I am Diane, 24, live in London and work silly hours - I joined slimming world for the first time ever on Wednesday, was a bit apprehensive but doc says I...

Don't worry large jump- you'll do it! I did week 3 run 1 on Tuesday and it is easier than you think it will be. Don't get me wrong it is difficult but not as bad as you imagine. Plus the feeling of achievement at the end is brilliant. I can't wait to do run 2 today! X

I went for slimming world in the end! I couldn't figure out how I would fit counting points etc into my day so slimming world it was! Was my first day yesterday- so we will see how it goes! :-D

Hi All! :D I've just joined the boards and am joining slimming world tonight at my local meeting. A bit apprehensive but feeling generally positive! I came accross this thread and thought i would join up - did week 3 run 1 yesterday. I really ache today but it felt like such a massive...

Hi All! I am Diane - and I have been trying to slim down for a few months now by doing Ice Skating a few times a week and generally eating more healthily. I've managed to lose about half a stone, but it seems to have levelled out there. I have also started the couch to 5k program (which...
