Hi Chloe, Well done for the 8lbs and doing the shred! Just wanted to let you know that it is an intense, but fab workout :) However you may not lose many lbs, but you will definitely lose inches. So my advice is definitely measure yourself before you start! I lost only 1 lb for the whole DVD, but 4" from round my waist!…

Thanks! It doesn't like skipping, but will definitely try some of the other exercises, and totally forgot about swimming so will give that a go... Will also dig the bike out of the shed and go for a cycle to the pool! Thanks Both :)

Good effort gettnig back on track! I've done this a couple of times, but taking the first step to get back into the gym is hard, yet amazing. Push through! :) Mhairi

Have sent you a request!

P.S. Have sent a friend request so you can attack me on the days I need it to!

Great attitude! Keep it up :)

Hi! Totally understand where you are coming from, and I have exactly the same problem... Try Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred with a low sugar, high protein diet (still in MFP guidelines). Totally helped me change shape, although you might not lose weight, I definitely lost 3 inches off my waist!

Totally needed to read this as this morning the scales actually went UP after all my hard work :(

My main suggestion (and I know you should always try to make better choices) is that when you're going out with a friend, you pick the place and what you're going to have for dinner first and then plan your day around it....

I completely understand! I started again last week as I had a break over my friend's wedding and in 2 months put on 10lbs - not impressed. The brushing your teeth when you want to eat is a good trick I was taught a while ago - drink lots of ice cold water afterwards and it totally takes away your cravings... Good luck!

Hi, I completely understand where you're coming from as I went from no eating at all for a couple of years to then binge eating afterwards, so have never had a healthy relationship with food. The two main things that really helped me were: 1. Making myself eat 3 meals a day, regardless of how big or small they are to give…

Hi, I had sinus surgery and the biggest issue I had was not being allowed outside for 2 weeks for risk of infection ! However, I don't see why you couldn't do some weights or toning exercise as I felt less drowsy after a couple of days anyway... Your breathing is quite fragile for a few weeks so I would hold off on heavy…

Hi! Today I have a toasted brown pitta cut in half and filled with chicken and sweetcorn mix with iceberg lettuce leaves... Finish off with a 100cal soya vanilla desert :) I am addicted to Scottish Oatcakes with goats cheese and ham too, but trying to change things up this week... Mhairi
