Wonderful, that post makes my day :) I really hope I can emulate you and HMonsterX :)

I like this comment, especially written by someone who has already lost a lot of weight, gives me faith that by letting myself have a weekly treat of chocolate (within my calories) isn't going to undo the healthier choices I am trying to make the rest of the week.

300 swings in and having fun. I have done some Cleans & Presses (but not counted those) :)

I hope you get some clothes donated. In the meantime have you considered your local charity shops. I am having the same problem as you and found a nice top and pants very very cheap in our local shop (£4.50 all in). Also consider having your clothes altered to fit you, a lot cheaper than replacing them. All the best.

Too right :)

Wow, how great :) That makes me feel very good about today's run, as I was running at 4.5 mph :)

Thanks for all the replies :) MFP is full of very supportive people :)

Good snack ideas, just marking the thread so I can find it again. Think I'll try the chickpeas one first. I have a couple of tins in the cupboard.

Great NSV :) Really inspiring as I'm on a bad knee break from running and really worried about how I would do when I start again. Hope I do half as well as you.

Wow, what lovely pictures :)

Thanks will do. :)

Mine is 9lbs, debating about hanging on until I find it easy or downsize to a 6lbs. Think I'll stick with my 9lbs one and save my money for a heavier one if/when I need one.

I have done two sets of 20 today (two sets of 15 yesterday) so up to 70 swings. I don't think I'll get to 10500 Swings but I'm going to see how many I CAN do.

Thanks for all the lovely posts. :) I am glad I kept all my small(ish) clothes and I will hold the small stuff for *when* I fit back into them. But what about my bigger stuff my 22, 24 and a few larger ? Do I chuck them OR hold on to them for the time being ?

Well I did 30 today (poorly). Going to take me a while to build up to 100 but I'll have another go later :)

Looking great :)

Updat. Doctor said she thought I had sprained by long inner leg muscle from where I was showing the pain to be. She thinks it will heal fine. I am not to exercise until I am 100% pain free. Keep up the basic walking to keep leg mobile. Phew. I must build up my running slowly and stretch more.

I had 100 lbs to lose, still 92 to go !

If my knee feels up to it, I might join in your challenge starting next week sometime. As I am a completely newbie to Kettle bells. i.e.I bought an 9lb one but my hurty knee mean I have done nothing but look at it for a week :( Is there just one basic swing or is there more than one type of swing you are doing...off to…

Congratulations :) Same here. I celebrated moving from Morbid Obese to Obese,...I will get there, one day.

Thanks for the posts. Yes, I'm new to running (just three weeks in) but doing the aerobics with no problems for four months. Yes, I might of tried to hard. Yes, I do stretches after my run and only start running after a gentle warm up walk for 5 minutes. I maybe I am not doing the right sort or the right length. I know…

Fantastic, what a great attitude you have :)

Welcome back :) Sounds like you are practised at making changes in your diet, bet you reach your new target on time :)

Wow, you look so happy and healthy.

Thanks, I look into making something myself.

Too true. I guess I never thought too hard about what is in the food I eat, which is why I am so fat atm. I love that MFP shows the break down of what is in the food I eat, helping me make healthier choices in the main, though I still have a long way to go.

I normally eat carrots or apples for snacks and dark chocolate on occasion ;) I will be avoiding bananas in the future to be sure. I see mention of Nuts as a snack are they not really high in fat ? Which are the best/cheapest nuts to eat ?

Thanks for that, I've only just added sugar to my diary and was horrified that I have been over most days but due to fruits and veg. I can't see how I could ever eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day AND be low enough for sugar for MFP.

Can't post the pictures either.

Thanks I'll try that for the chair lift, sounds more doable. I ended up jogging around the room during the second set of tri-rises, until I realised I could just fast forward to the cool down, silly me.
