@maiomaio71 I’ve ordered the yoga book you recommended hopefully it will be here at the weekend. I’ve always wanted to do yoga but I’m too nervous to join a class in case I can’t do it and make a fool of myself. Hopefully I’ll be able to get up to speed using the variations and I might make attending a class early next…

@Jackie9003 I’ve been on track for the past 3 days since you laid down the gauntlet. I think I just needed to get the rant out of my system and know I’m not alone and that I’m amongst people who understand not judge.

Let's kick each others *kitten* (not literally, I like kittens :D ) I'm going to promise to stay within my allowance and log meticulously at least 3 days this week, how about you? [/quote] Ok I’m in, today is logged-I just need to stick with what I’ve planned.

@NovusDies thanks for replying, I think sometimes I just need to vent and have someone ‘nudge’ me in the way I think I should head 😀

Had an appointment today with the practice nurse at my GP’s surgery for an asthma check up and flu jab. I see the same nurse for my pill check ups and she did a double take and insisted on weighing me before we did anything else. According to her scales, since I saw her last in July I have lost 10kgs, not only that but in…

@hansep0012 The beaches are great but northern Portugal is on the Atlantic coast so the waves can be strong and unpredictable. The Alhambra is in Grenada, Spain which isn’t that far from southern Portugal but a long way from where we go. There are some breathtaking parts of that part of Europe-google ‘playa de Rodas on The…

It’s Porto, Portugal-I live in the UK so it’s just a 2.5 hour flight from here. My husband and I love to travel, we decided early on we didn’t want kids so spend the majority of our disposal income on holidays. It was after a trip to Egypt in April that I realised enough was enough-it’s hard being obese when it’s 30+…

Hi I’m Jen, I’m 42, 5’3 and I’m currently 221 down from a high of 246 at the start of June. I still have at least 80lbs to go until I’m a healthy BMI and I know that it’s going to be a long slog. As well as being overweight I have hyper mobility syndrome, active Tarlov cysts in my spine and I’m undergoing tests for…

Thanks to everyone that took the time to reply-I feel much better after reading through them. I’m going to keep on giving it my all in my gym sessions and keep my nutrition on point and hopefully a year or so from now I’ll be celebrating not only being at my goal weight but also being a stronger and fitter version of…

I’m only a week in but I need a pass for yesterday and today. Back on it tomorrow!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yep 25 mins of walking Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Finished approx 50 cals under Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes 20 min walk on my lunch break-we have a gym and running track at our office complex but I swerved the gym and had a nice but cold walk in the winter sun. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes I’ve only been a part…

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yep I walked there and back to my doctors surgery so clocked 38 mins Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yep-just under my 1500 Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes I had the rest of the day free after my appointment so spent the afternoon batch cooking…

I had a lung function test today (after a bout of pneumonia floored me for a month) and my breathing is obstructed on my ‘out’ breath so no rigorous exercise for another 6 weeks until my re-test. They don’t know if the obstruction is inflammation left over from the infection or if the obstruction led to the infection so…

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? I managed to walk to the grocery store and back today which is an achievement after my pneumonia bout. I have lung function tests tomorrow so I’m hoping to get the ok to do more in the way of exercise. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes Did I keep track of…

January 5 Exercised?: Yes-20 mins walking Calories?: Yes Tracked?: Yes

Hi I’m Jen I know I’m a little late to the challenge party but hey I’m here and I’m determined to make changes so I guess that’s the main thing. I’m based in the UK, aged 41, 5’3 and 230lbs and I need to lose at least 90lb to be a healthy BMI. I’m a yo-yo dieter who has fluctuated between 145-225 for years but I’ve…

British, pescatarian and 41-can I join in? Need to lose 6.5st (91lb) to be at the top end of my healthy BMI so I have a long way to go. I’ve yo-yo’d for years losing 3st (42lb) before my wedding and then put 5st (70lb) on afterwards - oops.

Only 2lbs off for me this week but that’s 13lbs in 3 weeks so I can’t grumble SW-226 CW-213 GW-140

Not such a big loss for me this week but I’m happy as the scales went down even though it’s tom. 31/12-226 7/1-217.75 14/1-215.5

@chinatowninchina have you been to Vienna before? It’s beautiful and the pork knuckle that is served everywhere is probably keto friendly.

@Figaver I stopped my 2 litre a day Pepsi max habit when I started keto. I’ve been drinking that level for probably 10 years. The caffeine withdrawal kicked my *kitten* but I’m really pleasantly surprised I’m not missing soda.

I’m chuffed with my first weigh in 31/12-226 7/1-217.75 14/1 21/1 28/1 8.25lb loss in my 1st week is more than I could have dreamed off

First check in F/40/5’3” 31/12-226 7/1 14/1 21/1 28/1

@kpk54 thank you so much for the recipes they all sound lovely.

I’m new to Keto and I’m aiming to start on January 1st so I’m up for the challenge. I’ve been doing my research and I’m putting together my meal plan and shopping list as we speak. I’m pescatarian so if anyone has any recipes/tips to share I would be forever grateful. My stats are SW 223 GW 140 Age 40 Height 5’3” I have a…

I aiming to lose 50-70lbs this year by eating sensibly not faddy. I also want to hike at least 20 miles per month and find another exercise that I enjoy and don't find a chore for when the British weather is crappy.
