Yes that happens to me too - on higher exercise days I often feel I can't be bothered eating after a really strenuous work out and they non exercise days where I just have low level exercise like my walking days< i could eat twice my allowance - as I rarely have rest days - if I am hungry I eat.

yes my knees are actually behaving themselves - I think it must be the extra weight loss that's helping and maybe my current workout routine that's getting me more flexible - dunno lol - but shows what sticking at it can do eh? - :)

how frustrating for you - but at least you will be more than ready for the next one :) Thanks again for the kind remarks :)

Thanks for all the lovely comment, I am just so happy about this and feel like yeah _ I sure will improve on that :) The colour run looks amazing - we don't have anything like that in the UK - and that is fantastic progress for you - I was just reflecting how I used to walk the dog and have to sit half way round what I…

wow, thanks very much that is awesome to know :) thanks for all the comments - looks like there are a few of us that have a 5k as a future goal - go us! :) well done sarahbai1 on running your first on Saturday- sounds like you have the bug and itsmyVWbettle that's great that your family are running with you :) and…

I am really pleased as I have been wondering if I was ready for doing an event so I feel really pleased that this is my starting point - going to see if I can shave some time off that before June. Thanks very much for all your comments :)

After years of not getting periods then going to irregular ones about 6, 8 or 12 weeks apart - they then changed to being a fortnight apart - I said to the doctor about it and with me being so big all my organs had been squashed in and as I am losing more weight my internal organs are just sorting themselves out ( i was…

Love the attitude - its not about earth shattering herculean efforts, its just about consistency and just making it part of your life every day, eating right, exercising and asking loads of questions to people who are successful - fantastic story and outcome :)

it's hard to eat more when it's overeating that has got us here in the first place, but if you want to be healthy and have a good attitude towards food in the future then you have to work out how to eat well. As has been suggested there are lots of ways of eating good calories that won't make you feel like you have had…

You don't need to spend a fortune on gym stuff- get along to sports direct, the gym fleece I got from there is virtually indestructible and still looks good after about 50 washes - they also do loads of running trainers at reasonable prices - also amazon is great for good prices on nicer trainers like asics. Sainsbury have…

Excellent - well done :)

common ones like do I ever feel the cold, ridiculous how many layers I have to put on to walk the dog - although since I started taking iron tablets its not as bad. I wore my fave heels the other night and had to pop into the loo to put toilet roll in them as they were falling off lol people keep on asking if I have had my…

excellent loss well done , you look great :)

One of the great things about this site is the diversity - I am Scottish (British too I guess) but I learn a lot from my other UK mates on here as well as Canadian, Australian and US/American (or whatever you want to call yourself) mates too - why does it need to be defined?

nothing worse than being half way through your programme and someone using the machine next to you that hasn't had a shower, bleurgh. I always have a shower before I go to the gym (then need one when I get back) if I then go a hike with the dog and am going back out again, I would have another quick shower - so most days 2…

I take it you aren't really meaning do people have scales as I think everyone does - so assuming you mean do you measure all your food? the answer is yes for me - I have a digital scale and I measure everything. I was getting way off with guestimates and underestimating portion sizes even things like peanut butter - I know…

love the body confidence and attitude :)

Fantastic dedication - love that you are drawing attention to the things that may put us bigger girls off like the physical problems of being much larger/having belly n boobs getting in the way of proper lifting- I am building up my strength/resistance training and hope to get to the heavy lifting stage and seeing your…

excellent NSV, you know you are getting it spot on when your children are coming out with remarks like that :)

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) it's just your muscles saying what ARE you doing!? - when you do something like the shred or any new exercise which your muscles haven't experienced before - the day after you will be sore, the day after that is worse and the day after that it starts to ease off. The best thing to do is…

My workmates are the opposite - we have buffets at work all the time and incentives for targets which means prize draws sometimes every hour and I am always winning a box of chocolates - its the standing joke - everyone else on the team wins bottles of wine and I always get the chocolates. but it's always someones birthday…

daily mail as source - really? must be true then rofl

The Fifth Element Dark City Outlander Die Hard Taken

I am not able to access the article itself, but it looks like they haven't conducted any quantitative/qualitative research, it's just been a lit review of journals and the media - without seeing the actual selection methods or quality of the studies they have consulted it is difficult to assess. I find it very hard to…

Bump

fantastic progress, you look like a different person inspirational :)

My trackies are getting more faded and as I lose weight they are getting looser and longer - so they often drag along the ground a bit - but not quite body confident enough to get the knee length ones yet (I am 5ft2") so I am just getting scruffier whenever I go. I have had to stop wearing one pair as I tried out a spin…

great NSV :)

I was at the gym last night at about 9pm and there were about 4 other people there max. - the previous week there were about 50, its already started to thin down. I think it is a shame, but I am optimistic in thinking that maybe they have found the time that suits them now, or the class they like. I must admit though it…

all of the OP's list - my boobs look better as my cup size has increased :)
