Christmas morning! Merry Christmas everyone, hope you all have a great day!

Good luck!:)

Hope you had a great holiday! & it was worth the jet lag .. i suffered badly when we went to Australia .. stayed with relatives & as i am a very light sleeper, i suffered as there was 9 of us in the house, with 3 dogs & 4 cats!!

Haven't been doing a lot of exercise as have had trouble with my neck, but stuck with the healthy eating .. Weighed myself yesterday & down to 10st 12lbs .. so happy with that:)

1000 calories is not a lot to someone who exercises as you do .. i don't know how you have the energy to workout & do your Zumba's etc! All you can do is find something that works for you, you have very little to lose to reach your goal so why not try to enjoy that time .. remember that to...

Yes, you say 'keep your calorie intake to 1300 maximum' but you can afford to eat that everyday with the amount of exercise you are doing.. You are shattered because you are not eating enough to substain your body's needs with all the exercise like walking, shred etc, like a car, if you...

Some good one's on these for ideas .. good luck! Dinner party main recipes - Recipes - BBC Good Food Dinner Party main course recipes: Recipes: Good Food Channel

Still at 11 stone for the 3rd week:( Juggled my workouts around & waiting until the summer holidays are over then i can go swimming so that might help to move it along;) Happy with my shape though .. stomach definately flatter, love handles going & my legs look fantastic!:D What the scales...

STS, but i'm not surprised as i had some major IBS problems this week, now TOM is iminent:mad: But, we soldier on:D Gettingfitat50 - you have done very well, so don't be disheartened .. they are only numbers on a scale..

Probably common sense really but recently too much gardening made my back ache so sitting at the computer was painful! So, i pulled the chair in tight so i sat really upright. I then saw quite a noticeable difference in my stomach:D Now, when i sit at the computer, i find i sit more...

I've lost 18 lbs so far, since 15th May .. so quite happy with that .. :) These are my favourite YouTube exercises :- POP Pilates: Legs and Thighs Workout (Full 10 min) Pilates Video - YouTube (This is just one, but all the POP Pilates are good)! Pump it up - part 1 - YouTube (again...

I'm happy to chat:) Hi, you have done very well with your weight loss! Be proud of yourself!! In my opinion, if i were you (not telling you what to do) you understand! but i would just concentrate on as you are & watching your calories, but do some targetted exercises to tone up the areas...

Reached my first goal of 11 stone middle of last week so i am happy with that .. from 15th May '11 i have gone from 12st 2lbs to 11 stone :D .. Just need to concentrate on inner thighs, more stomach & arms exercises.

Its gone! LOL! Stone gone! Can only see a slight change in my belly but definately some loss from my legs & thighs:D Stressful weekend probably helped!! but not recommended;)

11st 21/2 now, just half a pound short of a stone lost since i started slimming :D

I think with all the choices of how you lose weight, you have to think of it as a lifetime change, if you for instance only eat low cal/diet food now, when you reach your goal unless you carry on, you will put the weight back on & who wants to eat like that forever! If you start eating...

It is frustrating isn't it .. :mad: If it was me, i would up my water intake .. water is great for bloatedness & will help with your digestion, maybe try to eat more wholemeal stuff & veggies too to get things moving. Other than that, i would carry on as you are .. i always feel your body...

New exercise routine here .. I don't do them all everyday as every other day i do couch2 5k but when i can, this is my daily guide.. Monday - 8 min Abs/Muffin top/Powermix 2 Tuesday - 8 min buns/Pop lower belly/Lesley Sampsone 4 mile Wednesday - 8 min legs/sculpting/Powermix 2 Thursday - 8 min...

After stepping up my exercise after doing daily various YouTube video's, i thought i had managed a good week. I did a 2 mile power walk on Saturday night, a 30 minute run on Sunday morning & a 6 mile walk in the humid heat of Sunday afternoon. But only managed a 0.5lb loss this week:mad: & ...

Getting there slowly, 11st 5.5lbs now .. :D Hope everyone else has had losses this week!

If you use a site like myfitnesspal, you could log in those meal options to see how many calories they would add up to in a day, then plan the other days meals around them.. as long as they keep within your daily calorie allowance they would be fine .. if you need to (if they are going over the...

Yes .. you can! You need to set yourself mini-goals to work to, maybe buy nice new clothes for your holiday after you reach each milestone .. have something to aim for. Believe in yourself! You started a thread for weigh-ins .. start another one & see your progress written down. Keep...

I am going to try 5 or 6 smaller meals per day instead of the usual breakfast, lunch & tea as i am finding i have too many calories left over to eat at teatime & end up eating a lot & feeling to full .. Worth a try .. Not working as i am out too much in the days, often with short notice...

Looks very good to me, how does it feel to you? Are you satisfied with the amount you are eating, not hungry still? If so, i would see how it goes .. but it does look fine.. I look for 'filling low cal' foods, as i am always on the go & often miss meals .. to stop me feeling hungry, as i am...

Hi, thanks for your reply:) He's 80 & suffers with bad arthritis in his feet & hands. He is just getting over a bout of Gout too, which has been very painful for him. Most of the time, he can get around his flat ok & on his good days, i can take him to the supermarkets & he loves that! I...

My breakfasts are pretty boring really, just branflakes with mixed fruit on top to sweeten, or Special K etc. Not sure about your combo, but have you looked at Free Calorie Counter, Diet & Exercise Journal | MyFitnessPal.com ? There, you can set up your profile & log your food by weight &...

Hi, i hadn't heard of Firm Express to be honest, so googled it & found that several of the workouts look like they are on YouTube YouTube - ‪The Firm Express Get Thin in 30 Bonus Kick Start Your Metabolism Pump It Up‬‏ Have a look, it might give you some idea if its what you are...

Keep positive! You can get there .. :)

Another one .. doesn't just apply to people wanting to lose weight either, both articles are relevant to life in general .. Strategy For Success People will always have a reason and a strategy for reducing their weight. The reason and hence the strategy is absolutely key to whether they...

I read this article & thought i would share it, all about positive thinking, really good! Copied from 'The Diet Guy' blog I Don't Want To Die Focus On What You Want And Not What You Don't Want Most dieters actually perceive themselves to be quite positive about their weight and their...

After another horrendous week of my Dad not being well & having to help him everyday, I have called the doctor in (home visit today) to let him make any decisions or suggestions , i have done all i can to get him hydrated & bring back his appetite. He drank nearly a litre of water on Weds...

Hi Juicy, sorry to hi-jack your thread! Yesterday, my Son & I got caught in a torrential downpour so dived into the local Library for shelter! He immediately got ALL the Rugby books out of the Sports section, stretched out on the floor & started to read them :d'oh: so, i disowned him! & went...

Yes, i think just 1 or 2lbs a week is a healthy way to lose weight, it may be slow, but you are more likely to keep it off if it is a small amount. Well done!

I fill a 1.5L bottle up first thing in the morning & after 9am i start filling a tall glass (I can't give up my morning cup of tea)! Then, everytime i drink from the glass, i fill it back up, it seems to help as you see the level dropping in the bottle. I can usually empty the bottle by...

I do a lot of walking, i try to cycle down to the village when i can with the weather! I have an exercise bike for indoors when the weather is bad. I swim regularly & when i have lost a bit more weight, i am starting a 'couch to 5k' if my knees will stand it:D I also do dvd workouts & my...

No, got up in the middle of the night & every step down the stairs hurt my knee so an 8 mile walk was not a good idea:mad: Resting it is the only answer .. Oh, well .. there is a 6 mile moonlight walk on July 15th which i will aim to be fit for. Struggling now, for the first time, i am...

Lovely dress!

Its a bit better again, don't have to go anywhere tomorrow so can rest up for my walk on Sunday:)

My knee is painful again:( as i haven't been able to rest it .. i am worried now that if it is not better by Sunday, if i do this walk (which i really want to do) if i will damage it further ..

Let us know how you get on at the doctors, i'm sure most of us think of our stomachs as the worst place where the weight sticks, me included!

I'm a carer to my Dad & he has had 'bad days' since Saturday:( so, i have been running around after him everyday apart from Sunday.. Doctors home visit will be arranged today, i think .. On the healthy eating front, all is well. I did hurt my knee (jumping jacks):mad:! However, that is...

I am tracking on 'Myfitnesspal' now, but still try to keep up with the posts on here. Going to invest in a new pair of kitchen scales as mine are old lbs & oz & everything is in grammes now, didn't realise i have had them so long!

I too, am guilty of being impatient, but then i think to myself that this is a 'life change' & as long as i keep at it, i will reach my goal & maintain. After all, i was at my goal nearly 4 years ago, then slackened off & started to regain steadily until only 3 weeks ago, when i thought to...

My snacking foods are :- mixed nuts, pink & whites, soft apricots & grapes

Yes, bought some for hubby so will try them with some dried fruits on top as i don't have sugar, thanks!

Hi, sorry to hear this .. you sound upset, but good for you to want to put it behind you & move forward. Is there a reason why you feel the need for the binges? Maybe if you plan ahead, know what you are going to eat & what & how much exercise you plan to do the day before it would help...

Hi, i find myself at home hopefully for a few days as my Dad (I'm his carer) is very well at the moment:) & can manage for himself .. & I can catch up at home. My plans for today - I've finished the ironing, last load of washing is in, i am just about to do battle with Jillian Michaels on my...

Good idea! I never thought of that:D Thanks, i will take a look ..

I'm looking for a healthy breakfast cereal similar to bran flakes but not All Bran (which just doesn't suit me) but something with that malty taste, any ideas?

Great site for tips & ideas, i don't get much time to read through many but what i have read is really good:) Thought i would jot down my daily meals & see how that affects what i weigh & help me remember what to buy in future! Saturday Breakfast - Branflakes with nuts on top/orange...

Thanks, i am experimenting with bread at the moment. I cut it out as i know that it makes me put on weight, however, within days i suffer with constipation:mad: (Can't win, either way)! So at the mo, i am trying 100% wholemeal bread as being high fibre it should help. So far, so good...:)
