This is more of a personal challenge than a set challenge, but my personal challenge is to lose 2-2.5lbs a week until October when I go on holiday taking me to roughly 14st which I know will leave me at a big 16 small 18. I plan to get there using original and success express along side 60 mins...

Thanks! Has anyone tried success express? I am thinking of trying this for 2 days before WI but finding it quite confusing!

I'll join you! I have set myself a target of 2lbs a week until october before my holiday to lose roughly 3-4 stone, I have been exercising 5 days a week and I am going to do red days and 2 se days. I am currently 3lbs ahead of my target

sorry 8.5lbs!

Can I join in here? I find it much less daunting to take things a stone at a time than look at the long term goal! I have 9.5lbs until I am in the 16s :)

Hi all, I am desperate to start Zumba, I have done Zumba aqua and loved it, however, the classes at my gym all fall on the days I am at work (I am a night worker) so I am looking at getting the DVD boxset, I just wondered if the music was similar to that in classes?

I am currently on day 3 and LOVING IT!! Its basically carb cycling the variety keeps me going and its all sensible healthy food, no leaving out food groups! Love to have a buddy :D

Howdy! So glad I found this! Can anyone point me in the direction of a points calc and the old school points quiz? Thanks! :)

I am currently doing the paleo diet and starting to feel that my eating habits are out of control and really starting to make me depressed and I was told that I can get a referral to slimming world via my gp and was just wondering if it was available in southampton and how to go about getting...

terrible weekend :( fully made the most of being baby free with drinking and eating crap. There's no excuses but I do have 3 weeks until WI so I can pull it back with lots of exercise in between revision and nappies!

Haha, was just about to do this! thanks! Angie, are you a former exante-er? I recognise you.. How is everyone getting on? I had a blip last night, me and Oh went out on the town to celebrate being baby free for the weekend and I had a takeaway and goodness, my stomach hurts so much today, back...

OK day 4.. I am currently up at 6am with THE WORST STOMACH ACHE...EVER! Me and the other half went out last night as we are baby free for the first time this weekend and we decided to see our friends and have some drinks. Anyway, we were so busy neither of us ate all day, I had a berry medley...

I am setting myself a challenge to lose 50lbs OR get into a size 14/16 by xmas the reason I have set the dress size side of things is because I am working out A LOT and my PT is focussing on losing fat and gaining some muscle so the overall losses may not be great but they will be fat not...

How are you getting on? I have had horrific headaches the past 2 days :(

yeah it was tinned, not sure on the brand name though but it was by the uncle bens etc. I have never seen coconut milk in the chillers!

Loving your diary :) inspirational

I don't have a morrisons grr I saw that box of coconut milk and was tempted to get it but was thrown by the added bits in it, I want to be strict as I can for the first 30 days doing this so I can see optimum results but I will bare it in mind for the time after :)

Thought we could use this thread to post about any bargains we find as some of this stuff can get quite expensive! tesco are doing 2 coconut milks for £1 :)

That porridge sounds lush! And that casserole looks delish!

Breakfast: Left over chicken, rasher of bacon and rocket salad Lunch: Tuna, olive oil and spinach salad Dinner: Turkey burgers with chorizo scrambled eggs Turkey Burgers and Scrambled Chorizo Eggs Serves 2, or one with breakfast leftovers yuum 500g lean turkey mince Pinch of salt 1/2tsp...

Day 2…headache central! I suspect the dreaded carb withdrawal :( Spent most of today being lazy due to this braincrushing headache I have had all day which lovingly turned into a migraine. Anywhoo after a nap and some darkness I was awake and raring to go so off to the shops I headeth. I have...

Today was a busy day, when I say busy I mean EXHAUSTING! However, feeling quite virtuous as I still managed to go to the gym even though I wanted to just come home and crawl into bed. My dad visited today and bought chocolate eclairs...I resisted and ate cherries :D can someone come and polish...

Its the night before I make the transition from a modern conventional eating lardy bum to a clean eating gym bunny in my quest to lose 100lbs…again! After great success losing 100lbs previously by what can only be described as milkshake hell, I am almost back to square one. The milkshakes bought...

doing some batch cooking today as all my veg is going off and I refuse to waste it! Pictures to follow :)

I would be muchos interested in this 6 week plan! I am starting paleo today too :)

I am going to post my menus on here everyday with pictures for feedback or to give other people ideas (not to suggest I am a culinary genius haha) OK here is todays.. . Breakfast: Scrambled eggs and bacon - I know bacon isn't strictly paleo but it was in my fridge and needed eating and it was...

I have been over there for pearls of wisdom and found some really useful info (including your diary) just decided to post here as there seems to be a wider audience! Well done on your loss, you've set the mark for me now ;) xx

A small update, just demolished some chocolate log and doritos and feel like hell, I must remember this feeling when I want to give in to a craving

I might give the dairy a miss then, it tends to make me quite bloated and wheezy!

Thanks for the tip, is full fat greek yoghurt allowed? sorry for all the questions!

OK so here is what I have planned for tomorrow B: Sweet breakfast omelette with pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, sesame seeds and blueberries l: tuna and rocket salad d: spaghetti-less bolognaise (lean mince beef with veggies and tomatoes and courgette "pasta")

I just asked my PT and he told me to use honey but in moderation so I shall! Going to try the sweet omelette with pecans, walnuts and hazelnuts with blueberries for brekkie!

are we allowed maple syrup...I suspect not but worth an ask haha

sweet breakfast omelette mmmm!!

Thank you!!! there are no excuses and I was feeling weak and sorry for myself which is pathetic! If I want results only I can produce them, thanks for the swift boot up the backside :D

I am trying! Going to start a primal diary, I have around 100lbs to lose and my trainer is confident that I can do it by Jan/feb with paleo/primal and hard work so watch this space!

No problems, I understand! If you could point me in the direction of the info I need that would be fab?

Thank you, appreciated :)

Ohh that would be great, however, I can't PM you either! haha am I allowed to give my email address on here?

Thanks a lot :) its a lot to get your head around, I'm starting monday so trying to get all my info straight

I am here for some of this infamous tough love! I am a classic yoyo dieter, got down to a low weight last year on a VLCD, got pregnant and BOOM back to 17 odd stones. I have invested in a personal trainer this time around to lose it once and for all. I have been going to the gym as and when I am...

I have decided to follow the primal blueprint and have read about intermittent fasting but don't really understand what it is! So...could someone explain it to me in laymans terms? Thanks :)

I have been following your posts and stealing recipes from you for ideas haha as a former atkinser, I am looking forward to being allowed fruit!

Thanks everyone, I have joined Marks Daily Apple and my trainer has sent me paleo information. Which one would be better for weight loss? I have a week of low GI food left to get through so I am going to be working on a months worth of paleo meal plans so there is no room for excuses! I am...

OK so I am a seasoned minimin-er but I am now under a new username as I wanted a complete fresh start with no reminders of past losses and failures etc. I decided that enough was enough with VLCD's, starving, slimming clubs, no carbs etc etc and booked myself in with a personal trainer to shift...
