HEY! I haven't been on here for nearly a month! Crazy. I went to Scotland for a little holiday and since have been super busy with work etc so haven't had time to log on. I ate so badly on holiday, cooked brekkie every morn. Thought I would have gained a hell of a lot of weight over the past...

Haven't been on here for a while, been pretty busy ATM. Been a good girl and going to the gym around 3-4 times a week and sticking to healthy eating. Had a few bad days mind. Weighed in today at 8 stone 12 Sent from my iPhone

Thanks hun. At 9 stone I feel I'm carrying a little bit of extra weight with being 5ft3 but I am starting to slowly get used to being this weight and being happy with it Sent from my iPhone

Hmm ok I think I might take your advice! I'm going to WI late next week whilst I remain at around 1200 as I've started the gym so maybe that'll help. If no loss them I'm going to try bumping my calories up. I don't even know what I'd eat!! I find I eat so much at 1200 haha. Thanks for your...

I'm on about 1200!! How many were you on when you lost? Sent from my iPhone

Wow that is incredible!!!! It's taken me since Christmas to loose 1lb haha

Yayyyyyy

I've been going to the gym recently and feel so much better for it! I feel motivated knowing it should help me towards my goal of loosing weight. I'm only spending about an hour there which feels like plenty. I'm going to sign up to some classes too. I really need to get a calorie watch though...

Hey Hun. Have you managed to make a diary?? I used to snack a fair bit in the evenings and I always have a treat in the eve with a cuppa, what I've done is choose low calorie snack options like a freddo bar as its under 100 calories.

Haha I know!

That's what I average on too! I was shocked when I looked up the daily requirement haha. Maybe others are also averaging on far higher than that? X Sent from my iPhone

Thank you girls. You know those days where you get changed and realise how much weight you gained and then want to just jump back into pjs and hide? Well it was one of those days! I didn't hide though, I went and joined the gym! And then I went to the cinema and cooked a sausage and chorizo...

So I'm not sure how the results are yet as I will only find out once I book an appointment in with my doctor but I had to go back in the evening to get the Depo injection done and they took my HR which was then down to 80.

Enjoyed reading through your thread :) Here to follow! I went from 11 stone 11 to 8 stone and a half through CC, I love how much freedom I have with it but I am now being weary of the fat, carbs and sugars in my food as its easy to forget when focusing on calories Sent from my iPhone

Thanks hun. I'll let you know how it goes! x Sent from my iPhone

Hmm. I have always suffered with anxiety and I am always very nervous when they take my HR because I'm worried that it'll be very high so I think I will look into getting a HR watch for peace of mind! Do you think cheaper ones will be ok? x Sent from my iPhone

Also at the gym and at the doctors they took my HR after a brisk 10 minute walk to get to them. Think that could raise it?? Sent from my iPhone

Hey girls. Well I've had a few ECGs done in the past at the doctors but it's always come back as me having a fast heart rate but never anything more for them to worry about so I am thinking she didn't have me plugged into one straight away due to that? I'm not too sure. I do get very nervous...

Nope I'm having one today though at 2pm! X Sent from my iPhone

Thank you all for your concern. The doctor told me that some people have a very high resting HR and that generally its nothing to worry about unless the rhythm of the heart is abnormal so I'm having a ECG done tomorrow and some bloods/thyroid tests on Monday to see if there's any infection etc...

I had some bad news when I went to the gym yesterday, they took my HR and at resting it was 119!!! Ive had trouble with my HR in the past, even had to stay in hospital for a night because it was too high and they nearly wouldn't let me join the gym because of it :-( I'm so worried about it all...

I gave up caffeine recently. I used to drink about 10 cups of tea a day :/ I didn't have sugar and not much milk but I started to suffer with IBS and the doctors couldn't work out what set it off till they suggested to switch to decaf. Now when I try a sip of caffeinated tea I literally spit it...

Think I might give up crisps! I couldn't give up chocolate at all, I love nothing more than an evening cuppa with some choccie. I only ever go for chocolate that is under 100 calories so I'm behaved in that way hehe. I've started to swap crisps for popcorn as its way more filling but I do...

I've been dieting since I can remember and I always think "do I want to be doing this forever" *sigh*. I think I need to get out of the mindset of dieting and focus on toning up like you say.

Unfortunately so :( I've stopped trying to maintain that weight now so having the goal if 8 and a half. If that doesn't work ill have to learn to feel confident at 9. xx

I gained a fair amount over Xmas :( will you be getting back on the 30 day shred?

Thank you for the advice Hun :) I certainly don't feel teeny :( I used to weigh less so always compare myself to that. My clothes don't fit and I hate the way my body now looks :( I definitely need to tone up and I've only heard great things about Jillian so I'm hoping ill see the results too! xx

I'm about to come off the injection now as I've been on for the amount they reccomend before you go on something else. Dreading going on anything else :-( I had the arm implant years ago and I never came off my period!!!! Was horrid :( Sent from my iPhone

Oo I love chow mein, I always get that if I have a Chinese. Hope you enjoy! x Sent from my iPhone

:( It probably has! Do you know why you feel bloated? I'm going to Drs next week as I bloat everytime I eat and it's really painful. Think I might have IBS or something! x Sent from my iPhone

Today I am having a BBQ! I've already planned I'll be having a pitta bread with some marinated chicken and lots of salad. Then I'll have some vegetable skewers :) Shouldn't be too high, probably be a low calorie dinner compared to my others which are often around 500. Sent from my iPhone

So frustrating when the scales don't move! I agree, I feel like I look slimmer and I feel a little bit more confident with my body since I've been CC which is what we are all aiming for anyway right? xx Sent from my iPhone

So annoying! I hate gaining when I've thought I've been good with my calorie limits etc. I weighed myself on Monday and it said I was 8 stone 12 and I thought it would just vanish away by today but obviously not. I think it may be because the week running up to Monday I had gone over my limit...

Weight has gone back up to 8 stone 12.6 :-( Upsetting but I feel healthier and happier with my body than I did a few weeks ago so that's the main thing. I'm not going to log it this week, but if by next WI I am the same then I will. Not sure why I have gained as I have stayed below my 1200...

Thank you :) x Sent from my iPhone

Ooo I would always choose an indian! So good!! I don't eat back my exercise calories if I have any but thats because I only have MFP exercise calorie estimates or the gym machines so I am not sure if they are accurate at all. If I had a HRM watch I'd probably eat back some of the calories if I...

Well done on loosing! That's still amazing, and a big loss :-) I would love to even loose a pound a week haha. Sorry to hear you're dissapointed with it, remember you are doing so well with the CC and it will all come off eventually! xx Sent from my iPhone

Yep sure is! I hope I can fit into my old clothes soon haha x Sent from my iPhone

Sounds tasty :-) love pombears and all those "older" types of crisps like chipsticks and frazzles xx Sent from my iPhone

I hope the BBQ is good! I find BBQ always end up being lower calorie than I thought, as long as I stay away from the halloumi that is haha. I am the opposite, if I go to the gym in the morning I don't feel like eating anything at all after, I have to make myself eat something and then I want to...

I haven't taken any measurements recently but this morning I kept having to pull my jeans up! Yippee :) Sent from my iPhone

I woke up at 8am (which is late for me haha) and I had crumpets with jam again (definitely a new favourite) I've just cycled to the supermarket and picked up a hoisin duck wrap and some sweet chili snack a jacks for lunch, going to eat it outside and enjoy the weather :) What are food plans for...

We all have days like that unfortunately :-( Yesterday I had a massive chicken fajita wrap kit before I cooked my dinner! Where's the logic in that, I was being pure greedy haha. Today's been better though with food. Doing a 5 mile run is amazing, how long does that take? xx Sent from my iPhone

Ooo! A fellow Philadelphia lover hehe :-) Thought I was alone! Xx Sent from my iPhone

The Philadelphia website have risottos on their recipe section and I have to say its the best risottos I've ever tasted. It has all the flavours of a normal rissoto but the creaminess from the Philadelphia makes it literally amazing. It's pretty low calories too! xx Sent from my iPhone

Hahaha I did that as well!! I reccomend it to all my friends and family too like a soup lunatic haha Xxx Sent from my iPhone

So my interview went well! I had to ask some customers if they needed any help, sell a make up product to two beauty management consultants (scary!!!) and answer general questions. I'm not sure if I'll get it because I don't think I'm that suited to the job but it was great interview experience...

I love that soup so much. In my last semester of uni I was working in a art studio making some things and the only near by supermarket was a small sainsburys and I saw that soup for like 1 pound and 100 calories and I really thought its too good to be true thought it would taste horrid but it's...

Me too! I'll have mine crossed also x Sent from my iPhone

Could have a Kingsmill small pancake for 75 cals haha! I hope the hunger pangs stay away for you :-) I think I'm having risotto tonight, but might not add in chicken to lower the cals and have a leek and broccoli one instead :-) xx Sent from my iPhone

Thank you :) I will do. Oo lovely, was it the chilli and tomato soup? xx Sent from my iPhone

Same! I enjoy working its the part trying to get work I hate haha xx Sent from my iPhone

I've been silly and had a chicken fajita wrap before I have my dinner! I rode my bike for around an hour and sweated lots and felt like I had a real hard work out, walking up the stairs even hurts now! So when I got home and could smell the food I had to have one :-( I feel really guilty about...

Thank you! It's to be a Smashbox consultant. Smashbox are an American make up company so I would be consulting people on what products would be best for them etc. I never saw myself doing something like that, I'm not too interested in make up etc but it was the only vacancy available and I...

I've found a bike I want after searching all day on Gumtree! It's a little vintage red bike and I'm hopefully going to go and view it tomorrow. It's cheap around £60 (been told that's cheap for a bike) and its single speed which means I'll get a better workout! Yay. I'm about to go out on a...
