Am i allowed to start this post? lol I am sitting at work bored so i thought hey why not everyone will latch on. And if not. Sorry CurvyKatie i stole you role delete me and start again lol.
Still in the same boat. 12st 3 so hopeless i feel but never mind they say for the winter just try to keep it off and lose it again next summer. well i think sod that i'm gonna keep trying for 12st this month.
I feel more toned anyways so maybe its that imaginary muslce that everyones talking about lol.
Good luck everyone else.

Thanks for your post - looking at your pics, you seem to be doing really well!! Keep it up!!0

Well I never made the 12st either, so that is my aim to reach 12st and not put any on!
Can anyone recommend any exercises to work on the abs? I do 30 situps on the swiss ball and 30 pull up (laying on tummy on the ball and pulling shoulders up towards the ceiling!) every other day, but can't seem to shift the bulge!!0 -
I want some more ab exercises too!
Ben, you look toned in your picture, it's not imaginary!
I've put on a couple of pounds since I got back from Ibiza and got over my flu, and I don't like it. My aim in October is to get back to the way I looked as ill Amy, but achieve that in a much healthier way!
Also, has anyone started thinking about Halloween yet? My friends have decided they want to go as the Wizard of Oz and I've to be Dorothy.
Amy x0 -
Good morning everyone!
Hope your all ok? Ben you look awesome! Keep up the good work!
I have not been to the gym for nearly 5 weeks and i SUCKS! I had missed the week before i went on holiday, then i was away for a week, since getting back from Crete i have been in the same boat as Amy.. ILL!!! :sick: So i have not had the energy or motivation to do any exercise whatsoever! :grumble:
Anywhoo i see this month as my Kick Start in getting back on the waggon! i really want to shift that lb or 2 that i have put on around my tummy/*kitten* region! :laugh:
Amy, im not celebrating halloween this year as its my friends 21st, so she has booked a couple of rooms at a Mayfair hotel in London! How exciting! Need to get fit for that as it is the last day of the month! I would ideally like to loose 3lbs by the end of the month!:drinker:
YEY the weekend is here so im going to have my final "blow out" before i start getting serious again!
Love x0 -
Thanks people. so after two days in october i finally move to 12st 2 exactly. I suppose my goal this month is going to definately be 11st 13 again.
It must be the start of C25K i feel loads better outside running than inside exercising I just hope the weather hold for another 7 weeks so i can finish it lol.
Amy- hope you're feeling better now and definately losing weight through healthier means is definately better, you lokk amazing anways.
Kp- hope you feel better too. and a night out in a mayfair hotel?! in monopoly terms i take it that means a plush room in an expensive london hotel lol. hope you have a good time.
Mumsanutter- don't get me started on ab exercises i do loads of crunches but every website says you won't see them unless you lose fat which means more cardio woop woop! I read somewhere to get abs to show you need low low body fat (10% men 14% women) mine is a shocking 21.3% today so im just going for a flat stomach lol.
10 pounds to go i hope.0 -
Hi All
Hope everyones well.
I had the first bad week since i started back in July but didnt over eat which was a plus i guess.
No excersise for me since last friday feels really bad, though it is only 7 days. How far i have come to think like that. Anyway going to get through this weekend and go hard for the whole of October.
It scares me to get back n the scales at the moment. If it says 12stone still will be happy.
My goal for october is 160 lbs as the final weight. be a good 8lbs off if i can get there.
Katherine you seem to be as bad as me this week, we arange a run then both bottle it. lol
we will have try again next week.
Keep it up people we are all getting there

my goal weight for this month is again 145lbs which i WILL get to this time! (i know i say this every month but this time i'll do it!)0 -

no probs. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. hope you had a good night. I had a great 21st on mine.0 -
Hello everyone,
Thought it was about time I kicked my as into gear again! I went on holiday a couple of weeks ago, and put on some of the weight I lost! (booo) But I am going TRAVELING in December and I thought that would be a good goal, as I would like to be thinner and fitter for my travels DOnt want to be feeling fat and ming when I am suppost to be doing the best thing ever haha
Hope everyone else has been doing well while I have been SLACKING!! I miss the support and motivation this place gives you. New start this weekend!!0 -
A belated happy birthday to you Katie. Hope you had a good one?
morning all, well since my last post which was full of negative thoughts, i got on the scales this morning and was extreamly shocked. 11stone 8lbs didnt see that one coming after the 2 weeks i have had. because of this i have changed my goal for the month being only 2lbs away from it now. i'm going for the big push to 11 stone. It will be tough but i've done 8lbs in 4 weeks before.
Anyway all enjoy your sunday, i'm going to watch an afternoon of football hopefully ending in chelsea beating liverpool. come on you blue

cheers mate, i really dont know how i did it, its dropping off at the moment. which is so good, i put in alot of hard work the last few months so really great that even on bad weeks my metabolism is working at its max.
Really well done mate you done so well, looking at that pic the ladies must be flocking lol
this 8lbs will be so hard but if i can do that i will be so close and thats spuring me on. just over 10 weeks to go. no doubt i'll reasses after xmas and be aiming to tone up then.
Anyway its great to see so many people getting closer and closer. GO TEAM UK

thanks everyone for the b-day messages
i sorted the topic of my dissertation today
How does permission marketing effect the fitness industry?
and i may have to call on your help if anyone is interested in doing a questionnaire and/or month long study?
basically it will just be seeing how you use the internet and technology for fitness and also if you were to be emailed daily reminders would that make a difference to how you work out?0 -

Hello everyone,
I have neglected here for a while. Not updated my diary for ages! I kinda know what to eat but I've still not been doing any proper exercise. Had a go on my cross trainer last night because I'm finally feeling properly back to normal!
Reading everyone else's comments, you're all doing so well! I don't know the last time I weighed myself but I can tell I've put a few pounds back on. You guys will be my inspiration so I can post I've lost weight too. The boys seem to be able to do it easier!
Very belated Happy Birthday Katie, I will do some surveys for you. I remember my dissertation, I did it on the media and female body image. I had no social life for about 2 months because I made myself stay in at weekends so I'd do some work, although most of the time I was procrastinating. One time I cut my hair really short! I don't recommend that.
12-8 this week. Only 9 late shifts left of the year as I've taken quite a few off in November and December, yay :happy:
Going on my bike now!

Hi people
Well what a messy weekend,was that bad i didn't do my normal monday post.
Scales yesterday and remained the same so not so good, my 12 weeks of lossing each week has gone.
Got a week off work so extra gym for me i think this week, 8lbs in 3 weeks looks very hard now.
Is it just me or is it officaly winter now, seems so cold and that much harder to get motivated.
Glad you're all doing well and even though am a little down beat today sure i will pic it up again with a good week.
James0 -
Don't feel down James! At least you're not putting any weight on. It is a lot colder now, all I want to do is stay wrapped up in my bed and watch dvds. I make myself go on my cross trainer though coz that warms me up too!
Weighed myself this morning, only put on like a pound since the last time I weighed myself about a month ago. Not bad since I've not exercised!

Cheers Amy, you make a good point that I havent put any on still feel **** though as i so wanna get to 10stone by xmas. Thats not bad hunni 1lbs nothing and if you havent been trying proves your keeping it off which is fantastic.
Just given myself a good kick up the *kitten* and know what i have to do.
I've got 60 days to sheed 22lbs thats bout 2.5lbs a week. Looks like going to have to spend everyday doing something physical even if its a 30minute walk or some weights. :noway:
I can see myself swinging back into old ways and coz i'm feeling down the comfort food is an easyway out. Thinks thats how i got to this stage in the first place so I'm going to need all the help I can get, if i come on here sounding depressed tell me to snap out of it guys and gals.
Hope everyones OK
