If you want to add me we can share recipes etc? X

I am doing Veganuary... I have eaten meat all my life and am jumping in at the deep end with this! So far so good!

Mine is open for friends to view :-)

How do your clothes feel? If they fit the same, give yourself a break :-) maybe it really is just muscle...

comeheresquishy@yahoo.co.uk Just got my UP tonight.... Cant wait to see how much I sleep, or not....

I tried to post my details for people to add me, but it said I had to be a memner of the group.... not sure how I become one :-\

I have has major knee surgery twice, and if i remember correctly, just doing my rehab got me puffing.... as for upper body, the make-shift home weights: bean can, water bottles etc are all good ideas. If you sit and listen to the radio of watch tv, give yourself a challenge of one exercise until the adverts. Something as…

I have heard good and bad things about insanity.... quick (ish) results, but a number of people I know didnt get very far because they have injured themselves doing it. As for running, just get out there and do it more... log what you do and if you push yourself a little to improve each week you WILL see results. Good luck…

I would always say 'Hi' to someone I saw regularly, on my way to work/ at the gym/ in the post office... If I saw someone regularly in the gym I probably would comment on their regularity or progress. I think sometimes we also need to be noticed when we aren’t as regular or don’t progress. I wonder what people do when they…

I have the same 'loss' goal as you... I find it really hard to get past 10lbs, and at the moment I am back to a loss overall of 2lbs so would be interested in having a few people who are in a similar situation.... Support is always good!!

I like the idea of yoga.... I am in a transitional phase with gyms at the moment and hope to get into it again soon.....

So I made it past 3 weeks! Hurrah! I am now on 35 days! Not sure how I did it, or what was different this time but I did it! :-)

I know a lot of climbers and they really vary in size and shape.... I think it not only depends on the ease with which you build muscle, but also the types of climbs you do. The more technical climbs can involve more core/balance/finger strength, where as more easier ones can encourage you to use your arms, so it can end…

I agree with what the other poster has put... also to build up stamina for climbing you will have to build up your hand strength and toughen up the skin.... After the first time, your hands will really hurt but if you stick at it it will ease up. I think it is something that is quite easy to be good at and it is easy to…

ME!!!! I love rock climbing, i do tend to belay more though because my daughter does comps! Every now and then I am reminded of how many calories it can burn, great exercise!!

These are all great, thank so much! I particularly like the bite=write idea! xx

Do you mean as in 'hump' day?

My Dad always said 'little pickers leads to bigger knickers' However as long as they are healthy good choices then I definitely will have a snack inbetween every meal. I have also set up my diary so i can log Breakfast, snack 1, lunch, snack 2, dinner, snack 3. I have some cous cous, nuts, fruit, yoghurt, carrot sticks and…

I do feel like it is a bit of a 'have cake and eat it' scenario... also I had my last child when I was quite young and I feel really anxious about my body not bouncing back like it did before, I know I shouldn't expect it to because I am over 10 years older now, but I really can't help wanting it to :-\

I definitely agree with the response above, PLAN PLAN PLAN your day in advance. Also, as much as I know it is hard having people who aren't great around you, at the end of the day it is your hand that puts food in your mouth and you need to decide how much you want the results. If you have done it before, you can do it…

Sounds Delish!!

To vent I guess and see if anyone else feels the same?

Me too!! I really need more people to interact with on here.... I think it works so much better if you have contacts who will make you feel accountable!

Really good suggestions guys, thank you! I also found the comments about carb content in the food I used as an example interesting. I don't know all there is to know about nutrition (obviously!) :-) I really appreciate the info! I may even end up friend requesting some of you! :-) Every day is a school day!

Ahh, yes. I meant to say the 'obvious' carbs eg pasta bread potatoes etc... Thanks for the suggestion. :-)

This looks really interesting and very tempting!! How much time and commitment does it take to do this effectively? I would love to, but im not sure if it is for me..... And tips?

Try to look at the bigger picture.... I had a day like that recently, I had lost 1.5lbs, then the next time I weighed, had put on 2!! I was gutted for a moment then realised I had still lost overall and that is what counts. Everyone has a start weight and I think as long as you can keep under that you are doing well. If a…

so far.... SW: 136 31/4: 132 7/5: 130.4 14/5: 128.6 21/5: 28/5: 1/6: GW: 125 UGW: 115 Getting there!!

Thank you!! :-)
