Wow. That's a good image. I've always felt, when I put on weight, that I have this all-over body glove of fat. It does feel like I've been peeling it off....not like this though!

Far out, that's impressive! Go you! Really good work! You let us know if there's anything you need us to do to help you stay on track from now on!

TisBonnie that really is awesome! Fantastic job!

Hah, yes! I notice I weigh up to a kilo less after a shower than before a shower - and no, I'm not washing of a kilo of dirt! I step on before and after my shower, out of curiosity....I figured the scale must weigh me differently once the room has warmed up and gotten steamy after the shower. Glad to see I'm not the only…

I'm interested to see how you go on the intermittent fasting! It's been working well for me up til now, though I've plateaued for the last two weeks - not worrying about it yet as I can still see my muscles developing. Frustrating though because I reward myself with a new pair of leggings whenever I lose a kilo....hanging…

My pregnancy didn't go to full term so my tummy didn't get reeeeaaaaaally stretched - my son was born about seven weeks early. (Way before we'd got his cot ready or finished our antenatal classes. He still does things in a hurry, too).

That is a lot isn't it? Do you find when you're going up stairs or getting off a chair in a hurry, you sometimes think 'Woo, that's easier!" because you're so much lighter?

Well, down six kilos now. Nearly a tenth of my original bodyweight. Here's me on March 4th and today, June 2nd. And then doing a pose...amazing how just lifting your arms makes belly fat magically disappear. Which is probably why swimsuit models usually pose with their hands behind their head or whatever. I could do a…

I'm taking ideas from My Fitness Pal when they appear on my dash and look workable. I don't really want to have to think much about workouts - just do them and get on with my day.

Argh! This is the thing about the fitness industry. I was doing planks because I read some article about how crunches are the worst thing ever and you should do planks instead. Now it turns out planks are bad and I should be doing something else! I'll stick with the planks for now as I'm nine years post-natal and my abs…

Ouch! That sounds super challenging! I might get a bit stronger before I do that. As it is, my arms shake when I do the side plank so holding my balance and supporting my weight on one arm is a challenge already.

Planking!!! Who does planking? I've just started doing it thanks to one of those email news thingies myfitnesspal sends....Ufffff! Painful. But definitely one of those exercises where it helps to visualise Daisy working out and remembering how good her midriff looks while I'm counting down the seconds holding a pose. Ouch!…

How you feeling today? Great that you have a work gym - that makes things so much easier!

That is some fantastic art!

You're really going for it, @TisBonnie How's it feeling? Lost about 4kg here.

My brother and his family and a friend all visited for a few days, kind of celebrating my dad's life, that kind of thing. Our car broke down - not that we all could have fitted in it - so we did a lot of walking as my brother loves our city and always wants to explore all the interesting places. It's a good city for…

I can't really recommend any - I haven't tried any.

I'm pretty skeptical about it, to be honest. How many grams of protein does it have compared to the same amount of milk? I'm guessing what they're really selling (at a high price) is the convenience factor - you don't have to mix it up. We give our son Complan in the morning - you mix up the powder with milk, and it gives…

Today I learned that I cannot walk and chew gum at the same time! Lately, if I'm having a semi-fasting day, I chew gum because my breath doesn't smell that great by mid-afternoon. Lately I've also been having weird bouts of breathlessness, like I have to keep yawning or gasping because it feels like I'm not getting enough…

Sounds great kttyson. Are you near Cardiff? We've just been binging on Dr Who and there are all these great episodes set in and around Cardiff so now I associate the place with all kinds of alien invasions.

Useful tips, thanks!

Sorry to hear you've had such a tough week cassandra. Some weeks life isn't fair. Take it out on a punching bag, if your gym has one?

No, it's a first for me to go overseas for something like this. We did a big military tattoo thing in Kuala Lumpur a few years ago; that was the first time. What was the concert? Was it good?

Yeah, I've weighed stuff before logging it. We make our bread in the breadmaker though so it's hard to know how it compares to store-bought bread.

My cardio is pretty gentle - just exercycle while doing Facebook or editing, and walking to work a few times a week....but it's easy to fit in my day.

Another 30mins on the bike....will lift some weights. We're moving offices tomorrow, and I'll be glad I can lift things more easily

Well that was three days of no fitness! I went to Fiji to play for some military services which wasn't as awesome as it sounds. Lots of sitting around in airport, on planes, and then standing to attention in the hot sun rehearsing for a couple of ceremonies. Not enough time spent by the pool drinking cocktails with little…

Down another kg or so in the past week.

Almost an hour of exercycle while editing and posting stuff...will walk to work, too.

Ugh, seriously MyFitnessPal? According to them, I can eat a fruit smoothie for breakfast and a cheese sandwich for lunch, and then I'm at my calorie limit for the day. That's ridiculous!
