Thanks guys. I'll manage my intake either way! Interesting though thanks for the answers xx

Mines open :-) xx

Hiya Can I be in also pretty please :blushing: You're all doing amazing :wink: xxxx

Amazing xxx

Thanks guys, Aiming for my 8 glasses, I've got a bit of a headcold at the minute so I'm drinking a little more just didnt wanna overdo it :-) xx

Look amazing - a real inspiration :-) x

I've just taken a look at this, mine were all between 1500 and 1800...seems a bit hefty, are you guys finding this method successful? xx

Too true! Both sodium & salt are the evil pair that lurk in most foods on the shelves these days! I learned to manage my calories a whole lot more effectively - in the beginning I would eat rubbishy food, because I could and still be under but end the day feeling rubbish, slumped & hungry..Much better now I've started…

Hiya Welcome & enjoy :-) xx

Hiya & Welcome :smile:

Fab a real inspiration :-) Keep up the good work! xxx

Thankyou mum2paris your post really spurred me on :) and its great know I'm not alone when battling a stubborn scale! Hate em so much hehe. I'm defo gonna keep up with the running as its kept me focused made me feel better than I have in FOREVER. Will keep you guys posted. :) xx

Thanks guys.. I hate the scales, they make me feel so discouraged and **** about myself (excuse the language!) I think I'm gonna stay away from them for a couple more weeks see if this all balances itself out xx

Aw thankyou guys :) Lovely motivational people you are xx

I'd become obsessed with the scales, so, I've not been weighed for a week now & that for me is an accomplishment. Its not afterall all about the numbers - I measure, also and at the minute weigh more than I did 3 weeks ago but measure smaller, so try to look at the bigger picture if you do decide to weigh daily :) x

Thanks guys! Always considered myself an apple but looking at my measurements appears I was wrong :) xx

Here in the UK we really only go by half-pound measures, so that would've been a maintain on my scales..so, on the flipside its 0.3lbs of a lb just 0.2lb next week and thats half a pound gone :) I know its hard to stay motivated and I KNOW its tough when they don't say what you want, but you are doing something truly…

Ahhh I understand now, so while my goal is lets say 1500 a day, and if I'm exercising 300 of those away I'm actually only eating 1200? I see now what you mean. Maybe I'll shoot for eating half of them or move my 'activity level' down a notch xx

Hiiii there :blushing: I'd like to join & here is my info :smile: Location: Barnsley, S Yorkshire, UK. I like: Chocolate & Running ( talk about a contradiction?!) I don't like: Stitch from running! Feeling rubbishy about myself. Current typical or usual exercise: Running/Jump rope/Walking Personal 14 week Goal: To lose…

Fab thankyou :) I've eaten around a hundred out of 300 for the last few days so maybe I'll stick with that! xx

Thanks guys, By a rest day I meant predominantly from running..as I'm still going to do the jump-rope to make sure I'm doing SOMETHING! Will give today a bit of thought re:running see how I feel later xx

Thanks guys :) The idea for something I can just add to it i.e 15cals worth which is about the amount I eat at a max would be brilliant, thanks. xx

Thanks guys, Rather than muscle gain after a lot of reading it does look like its probably water retention :) thats okay, though, I'm gonna stick with it even after a week my body feels much better and I have loads more energy so something right is happening.xx

I started on the 2lb mark, but as I'm a mum full time to a 7month old and am awake from 5am through til 11pm I figured I'd go for 1.5lb a week which allowed me an extra 2-300 calories a day - I guess it's all relative, try the 2lb mark for a few days & see how you manage on the calories it allows you and if you struggle,…

Well I've put 1.5lbs as my target per week girls & added lightly active as my status (rather under than overestimate my status of movement!!) and it says I'm entitled to 1520 much more achievable!! :) xx

Yeah it seems to be for the 2lbs loss! I think I'm gonna shift it to lightly active and go for a 1.5lb a week loss :) thanks for that. Crazy 1200 I'm starving on that, 1-200 cals difference sure goes a hell of a long way. Baby eddie is 7 months and has been crawling two weeks :) murder! xx

Thanks guys, I eased up on the intensity of my work out last night & as a result it's slowed the bleeding to a halt! I'm a hundred percent confident its a result of running - but I'm booked in with the doctor 3.30pm just to be sure on Monday (: Thanks for the replies really appreciate the input & happy running xxxx

Thanks guys...Bit concerned might give tonight a miss, gutted as I've really been enjoying my runs, too. xx
