Hope you feel better soon! x

When your body is sick it is asking for a rest. Take a few days off the exercise. I personally do a two day on/ one day off training programme. That way I work out 4days one week and 5 the next! Works out well for me! Take a rest, get plenty of VitC and next week you can start again! x

TOM visited me today. I've been craving sugar! I ate a pretty good diet but then this evening I got really shaky so I had four biscuits. Then I had two bags of crisps. Oops! Ah well!

You may not have lost as many calories but it definately helps you lose inches AND tone up so don't be worrying! Sometimes the fresh air we get on a walk is just what we need! x

You look FANTASTIC! Well done to you!

I accept. I would like to lose 8-10lbs! Good luck!

A few days before mine I eat like a horse! I am liabel to eat anything that sits still for long enough! My body CRAVES sugar! I try to up my fruit intake now so I get lots of natural sugar but ya know what, for that one week of the month I think it's ok to allow yourself some chocolate! I think we get more dehydrated then…

I agree on the homemade hummos! I make mine with lemon and coriander! Also sweet chilli dip is really low and is yummy with raw veg!

I have some on my hip and have gone up and down since I got them and I am fine!

Haha! As would I! It would be great if you could add her as a friend! x

I am obsessed with anything ginger and garlic-y! Making these babies today!!!!

I'm in!! Great idea!

That's brilliant advice tdh and dircpa! Thank you so much!

YAY! Well done! It's great when people start to notice your loss!

Diva step away from the scales! Our body weight chances daily, even hourly! Particularly us ladies with all our hormones and monthly changes! I weigh myself every second Friday, first thing in the morning and I go by that! You wlll drive yourself mad getting on and off the scales every day! Best of luck and well done on…

WOW! You look fantastic! Must see if you can get the programme in Ireland! Well done you!

Hi madaquarist! Welcome along! Some weeks my body refuses to budge for me but the key is to keep going. Those pounds will come off eventually. If you are excersising maybe you need to increase this a little?! I lost 14lbs last year but for the last 4 I had to increase mine. I think my body got use to the 40mins 3 times a…

Tis a good picture, that's all! I certainly don't wake up looking like that! haha But thank you!

Thanks Rosy! A thermost is a great idea! I can make home made veg soup and a boiled egg or two for some extra energy! Cassandra I don't think we have the albacore kits in Ireland? Must look into it! Going to go buy a small cooler tomorrow! Thanks for help!

I haven't tried them but have considered it! What would you recommend?!

There are kitchen facilities but they are to feed patients, not staff. Increased risk of infection etc. Only kitchen staff allowed in there! There is also cafe's etc in the hospitals but I tend to order the wrong things and get tepmted by cakes etc at these places so would prefer to bring my own food in! As I said I will…

You look fantastic! Well done!

I have endromitiotus and on a really bad month I can gain up to 10lbs! So upsetting! Step away from the scales, avoid salt, eat as much fresh food as possible and drink LOADS of water. This helps me!

I LOVE salmon! I eat it a lot as I don't eat meat, only fish. I have this receipe that I use when I'm really hungry and don't want my dinner to take too long! Thai Salmon (15mins) One salmon steak per person. Garlic (How much is a personal choice!) Raw ginger (again, personal choice!) Thai rice Green curry paste Veg of…

I would agree with the water!!!!!! Also make sure you're getting enough protein! I find a tin of tuna when I'm really hungry does the job when I'm on the go! And if you mix it with some sweet chilli sauce as opposed to mayo it's much lower in points! Also a little bag of nuts in your bag! Good luck with the 10lbs!!!

Cool. There are some great 5k's happening in Dublin over the summer!
