I am exhausted just reading about what all you ladies are owing exercise wise, you will all be skinny minis in no time. :hitthefan:

I have lost another 1lb to put me back in the 10s so today's weight 10st 13lbs. Ok so I am just in the 10s but it is a start.:banana_dancer:

Wel done! You must be feeling great. :-)

I go to a Powerhoop class at the gym and we do all sorts of exercises including playing football while hooping, catching a ball and jumping over a skipping rope! All great fun and uses up anything from 350 calories to over 500 in the hour. I use a 5 kilo hoop which after the initial bruising is...

Instead of hula hoop I am going to a Zumba class this morning. Afternoon and evening I am working as a volunteer in a cafe in the visitors centre at Dundonald castle, 1.30-9.30 so no time to eat. Will have to take a couple of Nakd bars with me or I will find myself hungry and eating the first...

1/31 a. Good day. :-)

Exercise done, diet done day 1/31 :)

I am with you on the hula hoop challenge. 20 mins seems very doable especially if you can split it into 5 or 10 minute slots. :)

Well done girls. When the head is in the right place the rest is relatively easy! I have been 100% too for the last 3 days. I was always a Thursday weigher so jumped on the scales this morning and have lost 2lbs very pleased with that. Onwards and downwards!!!

Well I am back after a very long break from dieting. I need to lose 18lbs to get back to goal weight. I can do it, but slowly. I am having two Exante packs a day, a couple of snacks and a 500 calorie meal so approximately 1000 to 1200 calories a day. I am also back in the gym. Going to try to...

I feel sorry for you Susie as I know how ill it has made my daughter. Her eyesight is still very blurry and she has almost constant headaches. x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Occupational health have not been involved yet because she was only at the hospital at the end of last week and up until then they did not know what was wrong with her. The GP has not been wonderfully helpful and took ages before referring her to ENT. She has calcium crystals lodged in a narrow...

My daughters boss is anything but sympathetic. My daughter phoned her local authority and discovered her boss cannot interview her at home without sending her a letter setting out what she wants to discuss. Then she has to arrange a time that suits my daughter and she must bring a senior member...

Well done Yoyo. x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

My daughter has positional vertigo. She has been off work for 7 weeks now. She has exercises to do but her balance and eyesight are affected and as well as giving her horrendous headaches the exercises are causing her to pass out. She is a teacher working part time but her boss is a bully and...

Diary is a good idea. Anything that keeps you on track is worth doing. We all have our methods. Good news on the measurements, well done. x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

I hope your mum recovers soon. It is a shame that the in laws are driving you up the wall, they are probably well intentioned. The diet will keep and be there waiting for you when you are in a better place. Hopefully the six weeks will fly in and you will get back to your usual self. Did they...

Party was fine. I had taken the children out bowling in the afternoon and a pal stayed for dinner. My daughter is ill at the moment and my son in law was out with my hubby for the day which is why it fell to me to entertain the kids. I then had to make the dinner as my daughter was pretty...

Hope you are feeling better today Yoyo. x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

I am feeling good but made the mistake of weighing myself this morning very early and was back up to 10st1lb. 1/2lb is nothing but it did make me realise I must just go back to weekly weighing. Tried on my tightest jeans and they fit! I now have 7 pairs of size 10 jeans, chinos, trousers that I...

Hi Angel hope you are having a good day. x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Hi Susie I have not tried a thousand calories a day but I increased my intake by 200 calories and am eating some real food and I have not noticed any difference in my rate of loss. I only lose a pound a week whether TS or slightly more but it makes all the difference to me as I am no longer...

Thanks Yoyo, I am feeling good. x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

You have taken the first step in regaining control just by asking for help. People leave this site for two reasons, either because they have reached their goal and no longer need support or because their eating has got out of control and they are maybe embarrassed to admit even to themselves...

Only 2 miles today. 839 to go. Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Thanks ladies, yes I am now 10st 1lb and about to step into the 9s next week, I hope. x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Thanks Carrie, I am still on target to reach goal by the time I go my next break to Skye three weeks today. I will have to remain strict with myself because I have my grandsons birthday on Sunday and dinner with friends next Thursday and I can't afford a STS. x Sent from my iPad using MiniMins
