    I'm going to focus on low-carbing it this week, leading up to a long weekend at the beach. I have not been eating a lot of meat, getting most of my protein from beans and cheese. I've been feeling kind of bloated, however. I think I'm going to switch it up this week and get more animal protein through eating chicken, sardines, a bit of beef, and eggs. In terms of exercise, I'm starting a T25/Les Mills Pump hybrid schedule. I love T25 and it will be my first time doing Les Mills Pump. I really need to focus on what I am eating. I think I will just take it one week at a time, no rewards in the form of food until I feel unbloated and a bit lighter. Ugh.

    Sunday was carb-tastic...so like @eskimite, I will be taking it easy this week. I'll probably incorporate more lentils, eggs, fish and plantain into this week's diet. Will meal prepping tomorrow night to take me through to Saturday as its a national holiday in the UK on Monday = party weekend! I have a party to attend Saturday and Sunday so will be hard but will stay off the alcohol (bar 1 glass of vodka and soda water) and have low sugar options. Will definitely have bumper workouts on those days :D

    I'm in :-)

    I'm aiming to lose 2lbs a week until I go on holiday in August so this will fit in perfectly for me. I'm already cutting down on carbs like bread, pasta and anything with added sugar is a no no. Good luck guys; looking forward to it

    I'm in too please! I need to lose 30 pounds but if I could lose 15 pounds it would motivate me. I have been stuck at this weight for too long. It would also bring my BMi back into overweight...my weakness is wine. So I going to limit it to 3 days a week and I have to have burned the calories through exercise..


    How do I follow this group?

    Think this my first post ;) I would love to join also. Thank you perfect timing. 20 lbs needed to go ... am at the heaviest I have ever been and miserable. My reason for losing is health, and get my waist line down so I am not self conscious about it ....

    Started yesterday with a juice/fruit day (blended it). a spoon of peanut butter for some protein and hummus. Thought I would be miserable, and oddly it was fine. Today, am in work so it tougher ... but have a large salad with me and hummus with some cheddar and a green juice green (did myself) with iron it.

    Need some recipes :)

    I have been exercising and watching my calorie intake, so far. My main problem right now is I eat really healthy all day long and then by/just after dinner I want chocolate and junk food. Any ideas on how to keep these cravings away?

    Hi all, day 2 for me. I did a gym session yesterday - 45 minutes of cardio and today I've been swimming and done 1500m. Food has been good - although the danger time for me is always the evening so I've come on here to keep motivation strong!

    Hope everyone else is doing OK.

    48 days to go!

    Hi urdollface! I like Green & Black's dark chocolate 70% cocoa. It tastes great, but do watch your servings. If you can manage that, it is a nice little, good for you snack. I also like to eat popcorn in the evening because I can eat a lot of it! Sometimes it's about volume ;-)
