Hate the gym - go for a lovely run outside instead :laugh:

Hi - I'm on day 3 of the 30 Day Shred (Jillian Michael DVD) - it's dirt cheap on Amazon (even if you're in the UK like me) - and if pain is gain, I think this is already working.... Trust me, the way I hurt today, this will get rid of the fat from the skinny in no time :sad:

My first day today too!!! Wasn't feeling great this morning, but thought I'd have a go anyway - had to stop in the middle of the second circuit as I felt nauseous.... Was feeling a bit better this evening, so thought I'd have a second attempt. I was still feeling a bit nervous after this morning, so I skipped from Warm Up…

I'm 5'5 and started at 193 currently at 177 with an aim of somewhere between 150 - 154. I never went below that in my twenties, and though I could go probably go lower I have a fear of ending up with my 38GGs slumping rather than bobbing :noway:

Due to lack of weight loss this week - I am giving up hope for Lent...;-(

As a Brit not sure what the weather's like where you are at the moment - but if not too cold, nothing beats getting off the treadmill and out into the great outdoors...? My best tip is try some early practice at running the second half of each run quicker than the first half (negative splits if you fancy the tech speak…

Remember - well done you for coming on here and asking for help and support instead of suffering alone. You may have had a bad day, but bad days can always be overcome by refocusing and looking for the positive next day. There's lots of useful advice here and people to support, so you keep on plugging away, and just find…

Hi - been on MFP a few months, but could do wih adding some extra friends for motivation - please feel free to add me too!

...The Truth Is Out There....

Now is that the truth...or just an opinion :wink:

Hi usually I go to Bravissimo for bras like one of the other posters - but as I run with 36GGs - this sucker will make sure you're puppies are protected - it's the kevlar of the sports bra industry - http://www.enell.com/products.php?productID=1 :laugh:

Great suggestions above - also though may be worth getting some digital scales that measure body fat if you don't already - this may be a better and healthier measure - and show changes a bit quicker than by checking inches lost....

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Ah - but the upside is...think how lovely and cool we'll be in the summer - instead of sweating miserably! :wink:

SW: 187 W1: 185.4 W2: 183 W3: 181.4 W4: ... Nice to be 12 stone-something again - it's been a long time! Here's to us all keeping it going next week, and into Feb as well!

Have the girls on group dial even as I type - tickety boom-boom!

If there's one thing I've learnt over the years - if a man criticises something about you as part of the reason for a break-up, it's 100% sure that he's using it as a way to deflect attention from his own pathetic behaviour. While you're so busy worrying about the issue he's just passed to you, you forget to blame the real…

SW: 187 Week 1: 185.4 Week 2: 183 Had a strange up-and-down sort of week - so was quite relieved to have lost - thanks everyone for posting and helping tp motivate - couldn't do this without all these fabulous examples!

Bit late, but here goes... SW: 187 7th Jan: 185.4 Slow starting but hoping to improve! :smile:

Name: Jenny CW: 187 GW: 155 Goal - I'd really like to lose 12-15lbs in 90 days - so aiming for 172-5. I'd also just joined the Jan 2012 lose 5lb challenge in a month, so this will be helpful for me to check progress along the way! :smile:

Hi - um didn't do very well on December lose 5lb challenge :blushing: so am up for another attempt in Jan when hopefully there should be less temptation MFP SW (day late but will weigh in next Sun) - 187.0... Good luck everyone - I'm sure we can all do this! :wink:

Don't know if you've ever tried Bravissimo (UK - but they definitely do overseas orders) - they do a range of supportive nightwear for the endowed amongst us - I always used to feel embarrassed not to have a bra with night clothes if others around - but these are fab - sexy and supportive and comfortable enough to sleep…

Fantastic idea!!! No idea if I can do this - but hey if you don't have a go you'll never get anywhere, right? :laugh: Current weight: 188.0 so it'll be a v. happy new year if I make 183...

I used to have a similar problem but I use petroleum jelly (Vaseline in the UK) to coat my feet before putting socks on - and try to get running socks as these often have extra padding protection. Haven't had a blister in more than 6 years now, despite the fact that I started hiking and sometimes walk all day. The numb…
