  • Well a woman's daily recommended allowance is 2,000 hun. Because you're 19 I would call you a young woman and say you're RDA is 2,000 like me. But because you want a certain type of weight loss per week this will obviously become lower, e.g. mine is 1,220 but then with exercise it bumps up to 1,700 some days. If you have…
  • I just had a nosey at your food diary... your daily goal is 700 calories?! That's below starvation mode babe. The 1300 odd calories a day you're having is much better for you especially if you tie that into exercise. At first I thought you meant going so much over on a goal like 1200 or so (which is mine) but to go over…

  • Well done on the positive start!! :) I'm in Newcastle like Lavender11 xx
  • Thank you muchly!! I'll give the leg lifts a go, and as for the belt - might look into that too. This stomach is going one way or another!!! :) x
  • I work Mon - Fri so I plan out my breakfasts and lunches in advance (just the night before!) so that I know how many calories I'll use up. What I then tend to do is buy myself a bar of chocolate and ration out bits here and there just to keep me happy. That and hot chocolate seems to help me. Also porridge is really good…
  • The best points I've picked up recently have come from the Wii Fit stuff I do... the wee board pops up on screen and gives me some tips and hints every day. I'm taking them to not be made up because why would Nintendo make up lies on a Wii Fit game that is global? Firstly the whole 8 glasses of water a day - totally helps.…
  • Sounds like something I'd love to be doing but the problem is we're ground floor... no stairs :( Anyone got variation suggestions?! I've got the wii fit at home but I don't want to be subjecting myself to yoga etc every night when I don't go the gym so something different would be brill! x
  • tifffel - you have a good point! I should really take measurements shouldn't I? I know my bra area is down 3 inches so that's one thing I know for certain! Must get a measuring tape and do the rest.... would be worth while seeing how I progress on a weekly basis! Once you get back into the gym you will definintely love it…
  • oops.. I thought I could individually respond to all 3 of you - would appear not (either that or I'm not good with forums just yet!). So here goes.. I've already said thanks to Shane for the comments, much appreciated. mrsako - thank you for your comment also, I'm so glad to hear it's a good site to be one - I suppose we…
  • Thank you so much for your comment. It means a lot to know that it's a common thing that's happening. I guess because I've never really been properly motivated before it hasn't affected me when I've gained or lost weight. I had a good chat with my mum last night and she was saying the same as you - it should be how I'm…
