I can't imagine that Nutella is that good for you nutritionally but oh my word it's gorgeous!! Nutella on a slice of wholemeal toast is one of my favourite treats. :)

So glad you're feeling positive! :-) You've made the first step so just keep going. There's so much great advice and support on here. XxxX

My weight goes up 2 lbs about 3 days before my period and also for 2 days around ovulation which for me is 13-14 days later. I swell right up too so I'm guessing I hold a lot of water weight. Extra sleep and lots of water seems to shift it again.

I couldn't pass by without sending you a hug. I hope you're feeling better and more positive now. Think of that photo as your starting line, imagine stepping over that line and starting to head towards your goal. You can do this! Take one day at a time and stick with it. Find all your strength, take a deep breath and hold…

Woe. I was a perfect hour glass for much of my 20's at 34 24 34 at the weight I am again now and I was an hourglass in my skinny (too skinny) teens then when I put a little weight on I was an hourglass again 38 28 38. I lost the weight and I'm 34 26 34. Hoping my waist will go down and leave my hips and bum but I doubt it.…

I keep hearing good things about this brand. Going to have to try it out. Hopefully there's somewhere online that sells it as I don't think our supermarkets or chemists stock it.

Aussie 3 minute miracle frizz remedy is brilliant for dry ends. Leave it on now and then for a good half an hour for a deeper treatment. Also a serum applied to the ends of your hair just before drying will help protect them a bit and give a smoother finish. The Frizz Ease one is great. I know you don't have frizzy hair…

5ft 6 and my target weight is set at 126 but I'm thinking of staying at my current weight of 129 and concentrating on toning up.

Corylda - I've definitely been neglecting the strength training side of things and some toning up won't go amiss. :) Thank you. Katie - That still sounds like a nice curvy shape to be. Lizzie - Thank you! :) Good luck reaching your goal. You've come so far I'm 100% you'll achieve it. McKay - Hahaha! That made me laugh! I…

Sorry to kind of bump my own post but before I go and eat a pint of Ben &Jerry's to gain my hourglass shape back ;) Am I right in thinking that strength training rather than cardio would help tone my thighs and shoulders more and get the ratio back?

Congats! :D I wanna do a headstand too! What exercises have you been mainly doing?

This is very true. It's really easy to get fixated on numbers too. I still really want that middle number to say 25 though. There's no pleasing some people. lol

It's still not the healthiest food in the world but has your girlfriend tried B&J's frozen yogurts? Their Phish food one tastes exactly the same as the full fat ice cream version. Also someone on here, (I forget who, sorry), suggested eating a sweet pickle when you get sugar cravings. I've tried it and weirdly it seems to…

Thanks for bringing this up. I was wondering about trying it out. I'm not brave enough (yet) to go to a class. Does anyone know if it's anything like the Just Dance game for the Wii? I wasn't very impressed with that. Maybe I just wasn't very good at it. lol.

This is the first one I thought of too. The only sports bra I've ever found that keeps them still. Usually I'm risking black eyes if I start bouncing about. It's comfy too. (uk 30FF)

Barbie - You think your measurements are too thin? They sound great to me. Just goes to show it's all subjective. I think a lot has to do with frame size and how weight sits on each person. Good luck Trisha!

Wow you look amazing Corylda! Congrats at reaching your goal. :) Yes clothes have always been a pain to buy. Especially jeans and trousers. Oh and thank you for the compliment. :) That was before all the IVF treatment. I'm back at that size now I think.

Melizard - Good point about age! I'm going to have to accept that my body has been through a lot the past few years, I'm probably never going to get back to what I was 10 years ago either. I really want to start upping my strength training instead of doing cardio all the time. If anyone has any recommendations for dvd's or…
