Have you chosen?? Am I too late?

Great to see so many people on board!

I think a good smile and a bit of flirty eye contact is always good. Maybe trying to time your leaving at the same time so you can strike up conversation?

Thank you for your wonderful replies. I have found this final shed really tough. Lost abour 1 and a half stones in a year. It's literally these last 10lbs that I've been battling with since October. I realise my birthday, Christmas and New Year hindered my progress, and am hoping that I will redeem myself now I have no…

Still training on my tod:(

I've tried it. It was awesome. Go for it.

I'm Accrington, in Lancashire

I'm Accrington. Diary open

Already done that?

Eat a healthy, balanced diet and stay positive

I lift. Diary open.

I'm.on for cycling and occasional runs

It takes 9 months to get pre baby body back with a bit of exercise and diet, so you are doing exceedingly well already. Don't push yourself too hard. Your body has been through a lot and it will come. It just takes time. Remember it took 9 months for your body to get like that!

I just eat what I want and don't log it. It makes me feel less guilty when I go back to calorie deficit. Mine is at least 2500

Thank you both for your insightful advice. It's really opened me eyes to the potential issues that could arise from competing. I think for now I'll focus on gradually increasing my lifts to see how I progress before I decide which route (if any) to go down.

Yes, maybe that's the path I should take. It would just be interesting to see how far I could push my body with the discipline demanded from doing a show. Why do you do it?

I think my motivation comes from how much I love lifting weights at the gym. I really get so much positivity out of doing it but need some justifiable reason for taking it to the next level in terms of diet etc.

Anyone!??

22 aiming for 18

Toast and butter mmmm

5"10

I do it before, during or after. It's one of the main ways I stay sane during term time.

Anyone wanting positive support on that journey, just add me. I was blessed after many years of trying. X

Good luck. Sending love. Positive thinking works wonders.

I'm tall. 5"10 142lbs and dropping.

Lighter weights and you'll be ok

No, my max was in the Lake District in the UK for 18 miles and it took hours and destroyed me
