Hi guys newbie joining in on this thread, im aiming for 12 hrs this month as i cant always get out of the house to run. I have completed a few hrs already one of which was a 10K marathon today AndreaEK: 10 hours 0 hours 0 minutes done AmyKY: 12 hours - 5 hours 5 minutes done babytreetrunk89...

out training a good bit this week, keeping it to 3.5mi runs to 4.5 and 5 miles. Now rest day for me today and a 10K marathon tomorrow. Weight at a standstill but i am not to upset as i am getting fit and my time and endurance is improving big time!!!

0.5lbs up!!! eeeek, ok ill totally reverse that by next tuesday and little bit more!!!! a 10K memorial run coming up on sat so that has to help push the oul fat burning buttons!!!!

Slow is good :) that's a great loss since Jan! Well done x

Well fair play to you! You look fantastic! Keep it up x

Probably different styles of badges maybe? Whoop I think that makes me half century lol

This is great!!! thanks for sharing!!!

I was wondering the same thing too what half century meant. Is the century club a loss of over 100lbs?

awww dont give up!!!!! I have PCOS too and i am on a long journey of losing, but the fact that we know whats keeping the weight on is more of an incentive to loose and to be happy with any loss however small and however long it took to shift x It has taken me nearly 2 years to shift nearly 4...

omg serious???? you look so young!!!!!!

well done on your weight loss, great achievement and your looking fantastic!!!! thank you for posting xxx

wow such a difference!!! fantastic!

awww i know your right, there a blessing!!!! I wouldnt change it For the world! xxx

augh i know.... ill never be the same again since after having my little one. My skin just hasnt caught up to the weight loss :(

aw thanks Texty-F :) ive a way to go yet but i will get there, im sticking at 10st as my target but when i get to that i may drop that to 9.5 stone depending how i feel cause i have a naturally small bone structure and although a size 12 now i still have a good bit of fat (if that makes sense)...

1lb gone this week!!! got my club 10 aswell!!!whoop! all is going along nicely

Ooooo jo-kate I'm worried about weigh in too, had a 2nd bday party to go too and I was soooo good and j my ate a small slice if cake and a piece if garlic bread. I even brought my own soup while everyone else was having yummy greasy pizzas and pasta bake etc. Ive been plateaued last few weeks...

Thanks guys :) I think once I get to target I'll get a proper photo shoot with my little man as a treat. Something to look forward to as I have very few pics with my son regrettably :(

Always a he same when your looking for something lol! I find now that I'm in the most common size I can't find anything as its usually sold out.

Thanks girls :) been a long time coming. But better to be slow than fast! Slower to loose = slower to gain (hopefully) lol

Dont worry just keep going your not doing anything wrong! This can happen as your toning and gaining muscle mass while shedding fat. *remember* Muscle mass is twice as dense as fat so you will be loosing the inches just the weight will take a while to regulate x I have the same problem at the...

Hey guys Being a complete beginner I have only started taking up running in mid Jan and i have already worked up to a 5 mile run. I just completed my first official 5K fun run this morning and did it in 29.39 minutes! Now the challenge....... I want to be able to run a 10K marathon by May...

well done fantastic!

Now that is something that's happened to me also! So strange !

I'm inching it.... but I will get these dreaded lbs off!!!! The last stone is always the hardest to shift they say..... so true!!!

2 goals met this week.... 1. Run a 5k marathon.... did that in 29.39minuts :) 2. Get my silver award! Also after weeks of staying basically the same I lost 3.5lbs! 4.5lbs to smash and that's 4stone gone FOREVER please God.

Looooool yup not the most appetizing of colours but its still a treat haha

Yey lost 3.5lbs this week and got my silver award! Feeling amazing since I started running 5 weeks ago and I just completed my first 5k marathon this morning in 29.39 minutes!!!! Success !!!!

okkkkk been a while since i checked in lol..... update: up a whopping 3lbs this week!!!! to be fair i was VERY naughty .... being my 28th birthday and a girlie weekend in Dublin!!! so back on track 100% and shift this last 8lbs to target!!!!! Running is going great considering i was a total...

Hi ya kimboslimbo :) it can be a bit of a 'soggy' cake alright and most definitely not dry , i would advise to check with a skewer after the hour and 15mins, depending on the type of oven you have your cooking time can vary. my first attempt was a little undercooked but second attempt it came...

Fantastic thread! I had a lovely yellow lentil and chicken curry before at a friends sister-in-laws house and unfortunately she did not have enough English to tell me the recipe. If you might have something similar in mind that would be great. It was quite dry without sauce if that helps I'm...

Whoop I was at my sisters bon voyage party Saturday and so many of her friends couldn't believe how much I have changed and I was complimented on my loss. I didn't even recognise myself that I had to look twice when tagged in a photo of a side view! Yey its all paying off!

Try and food optimize for the rest of the week and it should balance out ;) dint worry I have days like this. Its normal just keep going and don't beat yourself up over it ;)

I was thinking about that curry last night.... HAVE to do it! I just have to lock away the peanut butter after.

HAVE to update! While the weight loss is going fairly slow and my sister is smashing me at it. I won't whimper too much over it lol I am down another pound and a half after reversing the December gain and I have taken up running which I am proud to say tonight on my second week as a beginner...

awww thank you, please God now. excercise never seems to be my ali during weight loss :/

some achievement! well done! looking fantastic x

aaaaughhh when oh when will my weight start falling. i seem to be hovering last few weeks and its not for the want of trying! i have even taken up fit for life running twice a week and its made no difference :(

stayed the same this week for me :( but i got voted by my group as person of the month who has given most inspiration in the group :) yey!!!!!

last week lost 3.5lbs. Hopefully I'll have a loss tomorrow after the last week. Usually I don't have 2 great weeks together. Eeek

Ooooo I defiantly use my syns lol. I can't do without them. I also have PCOS so apparently that can make it more difficult to loose weight due to the hormones . Just wish my last half stone would shift :( and be a target member lol

Thanks for advice guys. I did mostly walking and a little slow jogging in between so I was absolutely fine and took an extra walk on Sunday. Oooh I know the danger of doing too much so I am aiming to be able to jog and not run for now as my mini target and to be able to jog for a 10k in...

Good news is I didn't bump myself back Into the 11s over the holls but shamefully I put up 3.5 lbs please have some of that gone this week!!!

New year and new you as they say.... I decided to be ambitious and am registering for Fit for life running at out local track with a (much) fitter friend who claims she is not. I really don't know how this will go as I am (a) a total beginner at this (b) afraid I will have a heart attack...

I can not find smash anywhere here our local shops! They have a Fab pizza recipe with smash as the base and I would love to try it :(

Good luck guys this year will be our year hopefully. My siater is doing it with me and she is flying it and I'm just not loosing :( aughhhh so frustrating and she eats Choc crisps and all every day!

OK back on track after 3 very naughty weeks :/ was 3.5lb up over the holidays oops. So here's hoping I reverse a good bit of that this week and Tuesday will be a good day for me. :)

Sorry guys haven't been on in 3 weeks went mad over the holidays oops :/ back on track now hopefully! Will post aloo Gobi recipe later, had it yesterday and yummy!!!! ;)

Yey it was a massive hit at class with the taste test! And the only one to dissapear without a crumb!

Not feeling great this week. My sis joined sw a couple of weeks after me n we hit our first stone award this week after only her being on the plan 4wks. I'm so disheartened as its falling off her and I'm so slow to loose anything. I'm still just under a stone lighter but she is thinner than me...

Stayed the same this week so no loss for me :( maybe next week

No loss this week stayed the same but at least I wasn't up.

Same as that I need all the luck I can get this week it wasn't great to be honest

Bad habbit I've developed every morning.... don't know why I've started that as in know weight fluctuates etc. So addictive though and great to see any loss to keep me going!

Dreading tomorrows weigh in. I'm starting to think I maybe planned to loose too much this month. Had a bad oul week

OK I'm really doubtful how well I've done this week, I had a few bad days and honestly will be so grateful with any loss. Tomorrow will tell :/ :/ :/

Good luck to everyone tomorrow x

I have to try this! i love anything with mushy peas! The only thing I'm missing here is the tikka powder, I've never seen it in any shop here. Is there any suitable substitute I could use such as curry powder or would that ruin the taste?

Oh yummy sounds brilliant! Have to try it

yey for you!!! Sad about your fav heels but on the plus side you have the best chances of getting Fab shoes in your size for next to nothing in the sales!!!! Speaking for myself but all the lovely shoes in sales are mostly in sizes 3,4and 5 cause all the bigger ones snapped up as soon as they...

AW thank you very much! We will all get there! its a great feeling to see it drop off every week I might make another 7lbs for my 28th birthday hopefully by February !!! That's if very good but to be honest I'm delighted I am where I am at the moment. Now just the last stone is the hardest to...

Hello all I just graduated inti this feed this week at 10 St 11.5lbs!!! Delighted but I still have another stone to go and afraid I will loose track of myself.

Great I'm not alone! I thought I was imagining things for a while there!

Yes lads!!!! I hit the 2.5 lbs loss yesterday and made it to the 10st bracket!!!!! Delighted!!! On top of that I also realised I lost a shoe size and I'mdown from a 7 to a six!!!! VERY good week all in all diet wise!

This week guys :/ hopefully this week i can make it into the 10s!!!!!! weigh in tomorrow..... oh the stress

eeeeek well i rarely eat meat and at that its only chicken lol

Im sorry I didnt realsie you can delete if you like

Oh its lovely you should try it, i know my friend used to use oxo veg stock cube for gravy but there is no kick in it. This stuff is the best!!!

:character00117: Ok weigh in tomorrow morning and i am nervous to see if i have gotten into the 10s this week. I have never been so anxious. This will be such a milestone for me if i make it you wouldnt believe oooooooh the stress! :sigh:

It tastes like a fruit loaf or malt loaf. really nice and im not a big fan of anything fruity lol! but seriouly its really tasty try it. x

Maybe the quorn chicken fillet would be a nice substitute for the turkey if you wanted to have the 'roast' dinner. I usually have loads of roast potatoes and fill up on sprouts and turnip,carrot+parsnip mash, cauliflower and cheese sauce tops with lashings of knorr savoury gravy! (The nicest...

Wow I never tried quorn sausages are they nice?. And yum for the fruit salad nom! :D

I had yummy breakfast baskets with side salad of fruit. But as I am picky with food and I dont eat salad tomatoes onions or mushrooms I need ideas and am running out fairly quickly. Only so much you can do with eggs :/

Hi guys I have shan packets of briyani mix here that I want to use up. Is there any syn value even though its a spice blend ?

:talk017: I have been on my weight loss journey on and off since April 2011:D, At my heaviest 14st 4lbs and i didnt even think i was big even at a size 18 - 20! Denial was a big part of it i suppose and i just didnt want to know as long as i had my XL hoodies and tracksuits i didnt care. Only...

1/4 lb is way better than staying same or putting up (as i have often done) :) hopefully we will get into the 10s by xmas time :D:D and hopefully a size 12 (which i also havnt been in since i was 17!)

Yey! That was me last week! You can do it!

I just weight in at 11st exactly on tuesday I REALLY can't wait to be in the 10s but as I'm so slow at loosing weight It doesn't look like I'll hit my 10st 7lbs by Xmas :( doesn't help when your hubby won't eat the same food and always keep fresh bread under my nose :S helppppp

Wow what a difference! I love looking at success photos you all give such inspiration to keep going! Well done!

Excellent well done! You look fantastic!

I do chips eggs and beans on a regular basis in my house as a breakfast lunch or dinner. Yummy :D we don't eat the mushrooms or tomatoes so I have a fresh fruit salad as a side as my super free :)

Oooooh yummy. We don't have smash powder here but I could make some from what you stated. Yum yum with some peppered steak!
