Congratulations Kellie! All the best x 1.5lbs loss for me today.

2lbs off this morning!

1 pound on 🙁

I'd like to lose 6lbs, weigh in Saturdays, holiday on the 17th.

I definitely mean it this time. I've gained another 2st since my last breaking point... It's been creeping up steadily over the years. I finally joined SW on 11.08.18 and it's going well so far, I just made slimmer of the month! My previous attempts were by myself and I think having the...

Sooo I was expecting STS for the first week but instead I lost 5 lbs! Wooohooo! Second C25k was just as hard as the first... still finished it though so I'm happy.

Thank you ladies! People I hung around with last time seem mostly gone so it's nice to see someone's ready to support me :) Much appreciated! C25k is short for Couch 2 5k - a free program of mixed walking/running that aims to have you running continuously for 30 mins or 5km at the end of 9...

So here I am nearly 2 years on. My injury was still there and so it was a great excuse to drop off the wagon... So much so that I've added 6lbs to my starting weight :mad: I really hope I can make a better go of it this time round. I just started C25K, although it was tempting to give up halfway...

Hey muppet well done, STS after you've been a bit naughty shows that you worked it all right back off, well done :D It'll be a loss next time! I gained a lot of weight since getting married so I'm actually waiting to be able to wear my wedding ring again! If my fingers continue to slim down all...

I'm back to the Shred! Woohoo! I haven't quite figured out whether I'm starting from scratch again or hopping right back in. Yesterday level 1 was ok, today I'm going to try level 2 and see if my elbow can handle it and if my stamina hasn't fallen too far behind during the break. I hope not...

Nah it's size 20 for me right now... starting to feel quite loose though. Had a 2lb loss last week :)

You're welcome! It seems like such a lot - what do they put in it? Perhaps a rich sauce? When I saw it I thought "that can't be right!" but I'm not familiar with it. Even so, one bad day is not the end of the world, you're doing brilliantly otherwise so you'll be fine :)

The bike is functional and... I can't go more than 5 minutes at a time LOL. How pitiful :P So far today I've done two sessions of that and the 1 mile walk, I think that may well be it... I have a new goal! My parents have invited OH and me to join them on holiday in Spain mid-May. We haven't...

Oh wow, that's great progress! Rowing is really hard (probably the only cardio I dislike more is the stepper...) Fantastic numbers, you should be really proud :) I'd say since MFP takes your weight into account when calculating calorie burn it's probably a good indicator... But the only way to...

He does so! You're doing fabulous, 4 lb is a great loss! Congrats on breaking the stone barrier, feels great to be in the next bracket down doesn't it? You're such an inspiration to me :)

Oh man yes I hate it every day that I can't do it!! LOL I never thought I could say it about any exercise but it's soooo addictive, I think it's because of the quick results, that just motivates you so much doesn't it. Really being overly keen is what got me into this spot I think, as I...

I got the bike! BUT it needs some work before it's usable, at the moment it's got wires hanging out and the whole top half of the cover is missing! I've no idea where to get that from :confused: OH might have to rig something up for me, kinda scared to use it while the inner workings are bare...

Hi Alex, congratulations on hitting your mini target! I bet it feels amazing!

Hi muppet, I'm finally here for a return visit :D Great diary, you're doing fantastic! I can relate to so much of what you've said, with the emotional/frustrated eating and the binges - looks like you're succeeding in getting your head straight on that one. I spent more than half of my life...

So munchy this morning it's ridiculous! Gahhh

I've decided to stop the Shred for now, until my elbow is 100% again :( Not happy I had to do it but I don't want a permanent injury! I'm having to wear a support bandage all day, can't really do anything at all otherwise. So, in the meantime I'm going to restrict my exercise to walking and...

I had to stop :( Gonna do other exercise for the time being, but I really hope I can get back to the Shred soon! Wanna see those results! Good luck ladies x

I've done D7L2... But here's the problem, I think I got tennis elbow (seems to have happened after doing one of the exercises with 5lb weights rather than 3) and I've had a bunch of pain these past few days. I'm thinking I can't continue with L2 for now. But I don't want to stop! Do you think it...

Thanks for the support guys :) Sadly this week I STS again... Gah. Thought I was doing pretty good. STS twice in the first four weeks is not very encouraging :/ Worse... think I got tennis elbow (probably overdid it on the weights) which is making level 2 of 30DS virtually impossible with all...

Absolutely not! I was the same! (Still am really) Took me days to even get through the whole warmup without stopping lol. But you really feel the difference so fast, you'll be amazed I promise :) Day two was hardest for me, you just gotta keep with it!

Target smashed woohooo! Caroline - 18lbs. (16.5lbs down, 1.5lbs to go) Trisha - 14 lbs (2lbs down 12 to go) Laura - 6 lbs (0lbs down, 6lbs to go) Sugarsally - 7 lbs (0lbs down, 7lbs to go) Emma07825 - 10lbs (2lbs down, 8lbs to go) Cheshire58 - 16lbs (0lbs down, 16lbs to go) tweekedgirl - 4lbs...

Omg you guys it's a 5lb loss this week :D :wee:

Yeah, they are really hard! But from the feedback I've seen here and elsewhere, a lot of people seem to find level 3 easier than 2, so don't worry about it too much :)

Day 3 of level 2 done! I'm doing the plank twists two at a time... for a grand total of 6 or 8 maybe LOL ;)

This past week I've been pretty good! Keeping right where I want to be with the calories, although I did go over my fat allowance on a couple days. But now that I no longer have peanuts as a snack, that problem's sorted. Onwards and downwards! I started Level 2 of 30DS, it's hard! I am not...

I like Alpen Light bars - I'm not on WW though so I don't know pp values unfortunately :(

Thank you ladies!

I started Level 2 today! While hard it wasn't so hard as L1D1, so I'm happy. BUT had big big trouble with feet slipping on the carpet in plank position! Any hints?

Hi Ken! Loving your diary, glad to see you're back! I'm sure this year will be your year :) Congratulations on the birth of your baby daughter!

Haha, you're right! I'm doing much better now :) Day 2 was the worst for me, was aching sooo bad all over! Hot showers are the way to go! After day 3 something magic happened and no matter how I struggle with the workout, I don't ache much afterwards anymore :) I can only hope the same will be...

I'll be following. We can do this!

Hi DD, just found your diary and I'll be subscribing :) Your meals sound yummy!

30 Day Shred is really good :) I'm taking it slow due to high starting weight and completely nonexistent fitness, so I did Day 15 of Level 1 today. Have had great results already! I'm going to try Level 2 tomorrow, see how it goes. I might go back on Level 1 yet if I need to, but I hope I can...

Actually, I've recently read about this theory that might shed some light on why we crave the sweets, the junk food etc. Supernormal stimulus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mind you, this is quite new research and not something that's generally agreed, but it certainly provides some food for...

Congratulations! I'm happy for you :) Here's to more of the same! *toasts with water*

Thank you :) I did WI after breakfast & water so I'm kind of hoping that had an impact too lol.

This week I didn't lose anything :( I guess I should be glad I didn't gain, considering the blowout meal on Saturday and the complete writeoff of a day on Wednesday... I went to Cambridge, ate on the go (too much...), didn't drink enough water, hurt my legs badly by limping around in heavy...

Thanks for the recipe! I must try these!

Yay! Very happy for you both :) The sauce sounds interesting, unfortunately I'm not a fan of soy sauce or I'd be trying it right now. What I would love to hear about are the syn-free pancakes! If you'd share the recipe it would be lovely. I'm loving the winter wonderland thing we're having...

Thank you Alex :) Love the support from you guys. Sort of a mixed week this week, had a BIG meal on Saturday (curry and a couple beers, too), but that was a one-off social occasion I knew was coming so I'm refusing to feel bad about it. It was great fun! Now just gotta be good. Friday I really...

I'm so glad to hear that you've managed to address your negative thinking! I think this new approach can really help you break through that wall. I'll be waiting and hoping for a good result for your wife tomorrow x

Hey Alex :) I don't really play much these days... the guys I used to played with kinda flaked out! But I've played tons of free MMOs out there. My favourites have been Lord of the Rings Online and Allods Online :) I hope you're doing well! Don't get discouraged by any small gains, you seem to...

Hi Alex! Great thread, very inspirational and so much info from everyone! I'll definitely be following your journey. I'm a fellow gamer (used to play WoW as well), what do you play these days? And... Ryvita with Philly rocks :drool:

Thank you Claire! Glad you're here :) One of my burgers held together... Hubby was handling them so I will just blame him for the other one falling apart ;) Exercise wasn't so good today, for some reason I felt like I could not do quite as much as yesterday :confused: Perhaps because hubby was...

Thank you Rose-Anna :) It means a lot to have someone's support! I did day 6 of 30DS just earlier, nipped in the shower and I feel great, no pain :) I've definitely gained in endurance, even though I still can't manage the whole workout. This gain is so fast, it has to be experienced to be...

4lbs so far for me as well :) Caroline - 18lbs. (10.1lbs down, 7.9lbs to go) Trisha - 14 lbs (2lbs down 12 to go) Laura - 6 lbs (0lbs down, 6lbs to go) Sugarsally - 7 lbs (0lbs down, 7lbs to go) Emma07825 - 10lbs (2lbs down, 8lbs to go) Cheshire58 - 16lbs (0lbs down, 16lbs to go) tweekedgirl -...

So I lost 4lbs in my first week - not too bad. I kind of hoped for more, as the initial losses are sometimes so much bigger than later ones, but I guess as I started exercising too the water retention worked against me. Ah well. I'm happy that I've stuck with it and that it hasn't been too hard...

Today I think I managed to keep up just a little bit more than before :) I wonder how long it will take me to do the entire video with no breaks. Perhaps I will set this as a goal for myself to reach as soon as possible. After the workout I did an extra 15 tummy crunches so I'm kinda proud of...

Thank you Rose-Anna, it's great to know someone's interested! Good luck in your weight loss :) The 30 Day Shred is HARD... no two ways about it. However, if you stick it out just a few days you start to notice differences, and that's a great motivator. Also, while I'm suffering through the...

Awww, both your stories are lovely :) As it happens I also met my hubby online (and an ex-boyfriend too!) So I completely understand what you're talking about, it's so nice to meet someone who knows what it's like! Also my starting weight is the same as yours now :) Two small things, but it's...

Soooo... Finally I got myself together and started this diary. It's a big step for me and I've been hesitating to do so for the past few days. Perhaps it tastes too much like commitment! It's in writing now, it's official and I have to carry on. This first post may be on the long side, with...

Hi Paul! I'm new to the site and to dieting. I just spent some time reading about your journey and I must say it's been both interesting and inspirational. I believe that you can achieve your goals :) Just keep on keeping on! Here is the most important piece of inspiration I found on this site...

Brilliant, I also always overeat when alone/bored! Or rather, I always used to, those days need to be over as of NOW :)

I will go for 6lbs as well, fingers crossed! Caroline - 14lbs. (0lbs down, 14lbs to go) Trisha - 14 lbs (0lbs down 14 to go) Laura - 6 lbs (0lbs down, 6lbs to go) Sugarsally - 7 lbs (0lbs down, 7lbs to go) Emma07825 - 10lbs (0lbs down, 10lbs to go) Cheshire58 - 16lbs (0lbs down, 16lbs to go)...

Good luck!! You can do it :)

Oh yes and I'll be dusting off my dance mat too. I can't last 5 minutes on that thing, I'm sure!

Yeah, I have big hopes for that :) A lot of people seem to like it.

Hi Nemesis! I'm not planning to follow any particular diet, just try to eat healthily and pay attention to portion control - I guess there'll be calorie counting involved, I'm not looking forward to that part at all! I'm still figuring it all out, really. I'll be doing exercise too, later on...

Hi all, Just gathered up the courage to say hello. I'm a new dieter - been overweight all my life but I only ever tried to combat it with bursts of exercise from time to time. I've now got to a point though where I absolutely have to do something and I really need the support! Got into serious...
