MFP and my own MFPals have changed my life! The old me would have sat in the boat and watched everyone else dive!

    Thanks :) I started off with Hip Hop Abs daily, a dog walk for 15 mins daily (with a pram) and Zumba once a week.
    When I got bored I did 30 day shred, then some Ripped in 30. Now i find any workouts I can online for variety, atm I am doing the butt bible off youtube lol. I have also been doing the odd run. I don't go to the gym, and have to work my workouts around my 3 kids - so most of them are 30-40 mins max a day, usually when the baby is asleep :)

    Thanks everyone, I really did work so so hard (still am). I have never been naturally small, even before my kids. I will have to keep working to maintain this and tone more. I am enjoying eating more now that I am at maintenance tho.

    My biggest advice would be to not focus on a number on the scale, so many times it didn't budge after such hard work and I got disheartened until I saw the difference in pics. TAKE PICS every 2 weeks.

    Make changes you can stick with, for eg smaller portions, if you have to have take out, get sushi or the healthier option. Don;t cut out anything entirely, I still eat chocolate daily - just a small amount where as it used to be a whole block! That way you won't binge and then feel guilty.

    Drink water! I never used to unless it was in my coffee.

    Change your treat to yourself. Mine used to be a V energy drink and a peanut slab (NZ) and notwmy treat I look forward to is a trim flat white with 1 sugar.

    Learn to enjoy exercise, make it a treat, you time etc - not a chore :)
