Yay a 3 lb loss this week, happy me :-) Hope everyone else has a happy weigh in day x x x

Hey guys, the internet isn't installed at home yet, so now I am at work, here's my weekend exercise: Friday - 1 hour pilates Saturday - 1 hour Zumba So 2 more hours to add to my total :-) How's everyone else finding the challenge? x x

I thought I'd sneak a look at the next stage, see how harder it was.... I might just stay on stage 1 haha!!!

20 mins 30 day shred and 15 mins wii fitness, but stick me down for 30 mins in total for yesterday, a nice round number :-) I would have liked to have done more, but the joys of a teething baby! Least the contsant running up and down stairs last night will count for some hidden extra fitness!

Did you do the dvd days consecutively? Or did you have a gap between some of them? I can't do it consecutively, so I'm hoping I can still get a similar loss over the 30 days I do the dvd, rather than 30 days straight

Haha, I have 4 brothers and my mum said exactly the same, I was potty trained within 2 days and the boys took forever! Maybe a man potty training would be more of an influence to him, show him how it all goes haha! I've seen the aiming training balls you can put in the toilet, I'm worried when...

My boy started walking at 9 months :-s once they move there is no stopping them! Shame it didn't kick start any weight loss though haha! x

DUM DUM DUM.... Start day tomorrow guys!!! x

I am sooooo not looking forward to the potty training stage! My partner looks after our lil one as I work full time, so not only do I have a boy to potty train, he will be trained by a boy! I don't hold much faith with that one I'm afraid haha! x

Sounds like you are doing really well. Hope a bit of your motivation rubs off on me after reading your diary! Keep up the good work x x x

Thanks Alan, I'm hoping a combination of everything will keep it to a minimum!

Awww bless her. My lil one nearly has a full set on the top now, but only 2 on the bottom... looks funny! We used the ashton and parsons powder, I knew it was hard to get but didn't realise it's now off the market. The only place we could get it was in the bigger Boots stores if that helps...

Though I may have to invest in some hand weights as I am currently using 2 tins of beans haha! x

I know! He's never had a problem before with teeth until these ones. He's 13 months. How about yours? I'm only able to do it about 4 times a week, so I'm aiming to lose the 20lbs it claims you can lose over the 30 times I use it, rather than 30 days straight x x

Hey guys, I have about 3 stone to lose in total, and I was wondering if anyone out there had any tips or exercises that would help minimise the amount of loose skin I could end up with. Much appreciated! Thank you :) x x x

very inspirational! You look great!

I know exactly how you feel! The joys of a teething baby! How are you finding the 30 day shred? Are you doing the days consectutively? x

Yep it's the Gillian Michaels DVD. It has 3 levels, and I have only been working at level 1 so far, so I'm not sure how much toning is involved in the next few stages x

I've been doing the 30 day shred at home, which does a lot of exercise for toning :-) x x

Zumba toning is brilliant and fun. Pilates is also great for toning :-) x x

Oooh please let me know what boot camp is like, there is one local to me on a weekend which would be handy x x

A fitness instructor I know says that crunches are a lot more effective than sit ups, and pilates is a great form of exercise to get rid of the belly. Apparently it works all the core muscles which helps tone up the stomach :-) A good crunch for the below belly is to lie down on your back...

Which fitness dvd's did you use and find the best? I've just started on Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. I found Sainsbury's diets tracker really good to use, great food list, and can track water etc, but you have to pay for it which is a bummer. I used it on a free month trial x

Hey guys, I had an enjoyable pregnancy, and only put on 3lbs! I was not dieting or anything during, I just had a very active baby burning it all off for me! My problem is, since giving birth 13 months ago, I have put on 2 1/2 stone! Has anyone else found they put on weight after giving...

Helloooo and welcome :-) It's a great site. I'm a serial 1 week dieter, can never stick to them. I have found it supportive. Good luck with your loss!

Well said! It's a great way to look at things, how your body has changed and being proud, rather than obsessing over a figure that can depress you, and hold you back

I've substituted sandwiches for sushi and fruit. A pack of sushi is normally only 135 cals and fills me right up :-) x

Sounds tasty, having lasagne tomorrow and this is definitely getting thrown into the mix!

A low cal chocolate cake :-) I'm in heaven! Thank you! x x

You look great! Inspiring, well done x x

Bring on the 1st! Eager to start now! x x

Cheers guys. I was just writing back you to Bubblegum_87 and then I saw this haha! x x

Hey Bubblegum_87 :-) I was just searching on the net for foods (calorie count food search seemed to come up the most), and then I kept a record of it in a diary on my desk. I was recommended my fitness pal from people on this site so I joined up and have started using that. I haven't heard...

Thanks guys :-) Hoping I can stay focused to for a loss again next week. This site definitely helps x x

How have you found level 2? Is it much more intense than level 1? I have done 4 days on level 1 but I am starting to find my body is used to it now, not sure if I need a bit extra fitness before venturing onto level 2, or whether I should go straight for it x x x

I've managed to survive my first week, and didn't find it that bad! Like you numnums, I think if I craved something bad, I just worked it into my calories. I also made sure I exercised more. Lost 4lb's in my first week so I'm a happy bunny for now! :-)

This was my first weigh in this week and I lost 4lbs :-D I'm hoping I can stay focused this week and get another loss next week... I don't have a good track record for sticking to a diet, but I am more determined this time, and this site is great :-) Good luck everyone :-) x x x

Thanks R-E-D & Bubblegum_87 :-) How have you found your first week Bubblegum? I've not found calorie counting too bad, but I'm still waiting for the sugar crave to kick in! That's where I always fail at my diets!

Same to you Jean :-) x

Wow a stone in 3 weeks is amazing, congrats! x x

I've only signed up to mfp for 2 days, but I find it really useful. I keep it signed on whilst I am at work and just add foods as I eat. Does anyone know if they have an app for blackberry? Would be handy to be able to add foods anytime

Well I'm onto day 5 and I haven't given in yet which is very unlike me on other diets! I'm quite enjoying calorie counting, eating everything i want, just in smaller portions to keep the cals down :-) Probably how I should have been eating all along!

I didn't have any weights so I was prancing round my living room with baked beans in my hands! I have the active fit fitness games for wii, also have zumba on wii but don't find it reactive enough. I'll have to pull out all the stops to try and get 15 hrs in!

Aww thanks spuddridge :-) x x

I've just noticed you are also doing the 30 day shred dvd suespain? I put it on for the first time last night. How are you finding the dvd?

It will be something to keep me focused, and stop me making excuses for the odd 20min exercise here and there! That's my failure... always thinking "I'll do it in a bit"!

Hey guys, your challenge sounds great. Team girls! x x

Hey guys :-) I'm new to the site and weighed in on a Monday so I hope you don't mind me gate grashing this thread! My starting weight was 194lbs :'-( keeping strong, so fingers crossed for a loss on Monday :-) x x x

My diet plan will be to drink 8 glasses of water a day, and stick to a 1000 cal limit, and do 20 mins exercise a day... fingers crossed!

Hi, I've just stumbled accross this 3 day challenge, and it sounds like just what I need to keep me motivated, Thanks :-) x

I think i'll aim for the same target suespain, 15hrs sounds like a challenge to me! x

Hey guys thanks for your welcomes :-) This site has given me loads of information already, I'm so glad I joined. All the best for everyone's weight loss journey :-) x x x

Hey guys thanks for your comments... I'm off to check out my fitness pal now! :-) x x x

Count me in! I need a challenge to keep me motivated :-)

Hi Guys, Have just started calorie counting for my diet. Does anyone have any tips to help with weight loss dieting this way? Or what people find to be the optimum number of calories to be consuming for maximum weight loss? I'm also going to be drinking 8 glasses of water a day, does...

Hi, I have been looking at the JUDDD diet today and was thinking of doing it. Let me know how you have found it :-) Did you find you lost much on it? Fi x x

Ace!

Hi everyone! Just stumbled accross this site, and it looked really supportive, So I thought I would join :-) My story is after gaining no weight through my pregnancy, I have put on 3 stone in a year since giving birth. Now my son is 1 I've decided enough is enought and no more excuses. I...
