I love going to different countries and exploring the history and culture. I love lying by the pool too to get a tan but most of the trip is spent exploring and on excursions. Last one was Crete, before that Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tunisia, several places in Australia (helps that I loved there) and all over Europe.…

I plan on swimming six times a week for 30 minutes when doing other cardio and 60 minutes when (like now) I fall down the stairs and bruise my ankle bone or cause other injury's to myself. Lol. Plenty of people who are heavier at the start of their journey swim because they find it easier and lose a sufficient amount of…

When I lose 58lbs I'm going to buy the 'Pretty Woman' style red dress.

I was a 38E at the beginning of the year, now I am a 36E. I would love to be a 34E but we'll see what happens.

Hi from Belfast. I started this journey Jan 2nd this year at 207lbs (14 stone 9), aiming to get to 149lbs (10 stone 9). I last weighed myself 13th Feb and I was 185lbs (13 stone 3). I am 25, my hubby is 27 and we are TTC (nearly 4 years now) and I have gone back to school to complete my degree part time in Law. I'm always…

G-Mail. Sync's very well with your Android phone also.

I was advised by my PT to lower my carb intake, mostly because it's the first thing that gets burnt when going to the gym. I am trying to keep my carbs to under 25%. If anyone wants any friends with similar goals then send a request my way. X

Rather than cutting out everything, try cutting down on one type of food such as carbs and eating more of another, such as protein? Slowly replace the food you crave with other foods. You can also eat the foods you crave, just eat them in moderation and try to portion control. Do you crave one thing in particular, a typr…

I had my first 45 minute class last Tuesday and I have been in pain since thanks to those bloody awful seats. Lol. Enjoyed the class though. If anyone has any tips on how not to have so much pain courtesy of those seats I would gladly take them. Lol.

Up until I was about 22 I was incredibly skinny/slender (thanks to a unhealthy relationship with food) and then I lost my Mum (three years gone Friday), I was depressed for a few month after (understandable) and comfort ate, gained weight and when I came out the depression I never changed what I was doing as I never saw…

I use an app on Android called RunDouble. It has more than just C25K on it which is great for advancing I think but it also allows you to play music through the app/

Needed that giggle, thanks.

Hi, I'm 5ft9 and started at 207lbs. I am currently 185lbs and aiming to be 149lbs.

I have photos of varying points in my life - looking ill due to be too thin, looking great and looking like a whale - I look at these when I need motivating. I also look at what I put down under the 'My Inspirations' section on my profile. I bring my wedding dress out and check to see if I can fit back into it. I look at…

We met April 2005 Started dating May 2005 (I was 18 years and 6 months [born Nov 1986], he was 20 years and 2 months [born March 1985]). AFTER 2 WEEKS KNOWING EACH OTHER Moved in together May 2005 AFTER 3 WEEKS DATING Engaged August 2006 AFTER 15 MONTH LIVING DATING Married Nov 2008 (Day after my 22nd) TOGETHER FOR 3.5…

If anyone's hand comes near my plate you can guarantee it's leaving with a fork stabbed into it. My food, not yours. Eat your own, not mine.

I use FryLight. It has 1 calorie per spray.

I wanted to go from 198lbs to 184lbs, a total loss of a stone (14lbs). I weighed 185lbs, also just 1lb heavier than my target weight. Could be so much worse.

People do them for a quick fix because they don't have the motivation to change their lifestyle. My MIL is doing the SlimFast Diet, I asked her what she was going to do once she finished, she queried what I meant so I said "When you stop the diet, are you going to watch your calorie intake or do what most people do and not…

I would add you but as you are already my friend, pointless. Lol. (At least this post puts you at the top of the list again. Lol.)

If anyone wants to add me then please do. I love friends and support. The only person who supports me is my hubby, the only other person who knows I;m doing this is the dreaded MIL.

If you go over on your calories it's not the end of the world despite what it feels like. Your body requires a weekly average of 3500 deficit in order to lose 1lb a week. If this week you only have the deficit at 3000 but next week you have it at 4000 you will still lose 2lb over the two weeks. It doesn't work on a daily…

Hi. I'm 25 and in Belfast. I started on Jan 2nd with 58lbs to lose and as you can see, I've already lost 22lbs. If you need/want any friends then send me a request.

Well done. (Wish mine would disappear a little bit.)

My sister has one of them and loves it.

I agree completely. Lol. I don't eat breakfast so can't help.

I love it. It's great when I have friends round too, we all have a giggle watching each other.

1. DO I EAT MY EXERCISE calories? - Yes, however, if I'm not hungry I don't eat them all back. 2. I am an impulsive eater any I ideas how to deal with this? Displacement. Sounds simple enough but it's not. Lol. When you want to eat, work out why and if there is anything you can do that will help. If you still want to eat,…

I have no memory before the age of eight thanks to amnesia. I had to learn EVERYTHING again.

Ditto. I'm determined to get 4000 spins, I think my most is 3700. (10 minutes.) In October I fell off the balance board. Lol. I'd slipped in the bath and didn't realise I'd done any damage, until I fell thanks to my back seizing.
