Hey, not sure if you have heard of the tv show River cottage but they have a new cook book out for everyday veg and at the min its £5 on Amazon!! Got it a few weeks ago and its amazing!! Healthy, different and really simple cheap meals in it!!

I only ever have a protein shake if I am doing over an hour of heavy working out in the gym!! As long as you are getting enough from your food I would say stick with what you are doing!!

You can still eat on the fast days, you just reduce the cals to 500 for women and 600 for men.

Hey welcome to my world :) I have had to be gluten free for years and it means missing out oats too!! Didnt read everyones reply on here but you actually need to start fully checking everything cos the buggers put gluten in so much stuff its crazy!! I go with make it yourself in bulk!! Look for home made museli recipes you…

Sorry but no!! Big muscles cant be snuggled up to on a couch!!

Im the same height as you and Im going for 170ish as my goal!! I have been lighter in the past but just looked shocking and atually ended up being really unwell till I got the weight back up again!! But I think we are all different!! If my bone structure was more like my sisters rather than my dads Im sure I could go…

rrrrrr sweety how rude of us to let you pull so far away when you have been such a support for everyone on here!! I think we all go through the "rut" part when it comes to loosing weight and its the same with anything. When we make a lifestyle change we feel all motivated and ready to go but as we get further into it we…

I dont think its rude at all but the clear grump people have with you on here is partly the reason who others eat when they dont really want to!! I have been out with friends loads of times and not had food (mainly cos I cant eat wheat and there is never anything on the menu suitable) but neither me or my friends get…

Im in public health as a trainer around alcohol. Luv the new change it has brought to my life but I was in stop smoking for 8 years and I miss it!!

I agree with others!! I can do it all minus the no coffee thing!! Im like an alcoholic on detox without my coffee!!

my comp wont let me add numbers to the spread sheet :( If anyone can access it can they please add me onto it :) Its Kate and I am currently 194 and want to loose 20lb for christmas :)

Hey :) My main reason for joining is to get me focused on loosing weight for christmas!! I did have a trip planned to NZ this coming November but due to having to move house it had been moved to next year and my motivation went with it I think!! SO now I want to re-focus and get fit for christmas as my next holiday is…

For me too thin is under what my goal weight on here is set as!! I lost weight and kept it off for ten years but at my lightest I looked like death and got really ill from it and had no energy!! I was forced to put half a stone on at the time and felt so much better and looked better too!! I was still a size 12-14 but for…

I worked in Smoking Cessation for 8 years and I promise it is a load of crap when people say that you put weight on from stopping!! It has been proven that its the person and not the stopping that adds the weight so just stick with what you know works for you, watch what you eat and how you exercise and you will notice an…

I would just say tone and dont loose weight!! If your mum thinks otherwise then the problem is hers not yours!! You look far to healthy the way you are to be loosing too much weight!!

If there were kids involved I would keep the name!! As a kid from seporated parents my mum changed back to her maiden name and since the age of 12 I have either been married or not related to my own mum in the eyes of people we initially met!! Did my mean in no end!!

I have recently changed my daily cals to 1,300 and am finding that ok now!! At first it was really hard just becasue I always felt hungry but as long as I drink pleny of water I seem to be ok!! I am very much a planner though!! My cals are usually sorted out the night before so I know exactly what I am eating and when!!…

Well I have added you and just trying to work out how to add your bro :) will get there in the end!!

Im off to NZ a few weeks before christmas so my plan is to get to my goal weight before I go and hope I only put on a max of 7lb while away!! Last time I lost weight while there so fingers crossed I could be a cracker by christmas instead of a christmas pud (sorry its what my old ww lady used to say :)!!)

I have spent my life with males as my best mates and nothing has ever been there romatically between us!! I find it difficult to believe that in this day and age people would always think there was another motive behind someones support. If someone openly said they were gay would you instantly feel the same way??

Im from Manchester, England so miles and miles away but good with the old support!! Dont have any kids but I got fat through eating enough to be having 3 at once :) So feel free to add me and I promise to give you a kick up the butt when needed :)

For DVDs I would also say look into Davina!! She has a few different ones put the power of 3 is really effective, has different sections for different days and different levels of effort so as you improve you do more!! Worked amazingly for me till it got stuck on the shelf and never made it dow again :)

Gotta say I agree!! I have been with people in the past that never got how hard it was for me to loose weight!! One even used to make comments about how much bigger my pants were to his in the usual 'joking manner' that people who dont get it have!! Talk to her and explaine how she is making you feel and if that doesnt…

Have sent a friends request :) Anyone else want extra support feel free to add me!! I am your usual yo-yo weight person but I keep trying :)

Do you warm up and cool down properly before doing anything?? I know most people skip this part out as being not needed but it really is important to help prevent injury!! I trained for a while to do triathlons and never warmed up untill I realised the harm I was doing!!

I have used a few different weight loss pills over the last few years and the most comical result I had was putting 7lb on in a week while following ww plan to the t!! No matter which ones you get they are a total con and dont set you up to be healthy and slim!!

Im not anywhere near to be an exercise buddy but feel free to add me as someone who can cheer when you do well and know where your coming from when you mess up :) xx
