If your baby is only 4 months old then hormones and tiredness are certainly not going to help. Are you/ were you breast feeding as I craved a lot of sugar when I was nursing my daughter. Plus it uses up loads of calories so you have to allow for that. If you find that you are thinking about food too much and what you can't…

I am in again. Last week I was under because I was ill. This week I've set the same goal and will hopefully smash it!

I'm joining in this challenge for the first time so I'm setting my goal to make it realistic for me and see how I get on. Goal for the week: 2000 Mon: 129 calories burned walking Tues: 400 calories burned walking and 30 day shred Wed: Thur: Fri: Sat: Sun: Total: 529 Left to go: 1471

Yes. Your diary should add the calories in automatically and up your calorie intake goal for the day. It should have a message saying 'You have earned 400 extra calories today' and your goal would then go up to 1600. Try eating a bit more and see how you get on.

I've lost 33lb so far. Some clothes still seem to fit the same. Others have dropped a size. My UK size 16 jeans that I bought recently are now loose but other clothese aren't. It all depends on the sizing in the shop and the way that you carry your weight. My is more around my tummy so that is hard to shift and means that…

Logging can be very helpful but it can make you obsessive and worrying about it all too much. I work out what we are going to eat for the week (I have to do this anyway, because I have to go and buy the food for the family). I find recipes that are within my calorie goal and plan which day to eat them. There are loads of…

I would suggest that you don't ask him to join you because you're worried about his health, etc. Tell him you want to spend some time with him, you miss him when you're at work and so on. You want to spend time together. Choose an activity you both want to do - walking is a good one to start with. Then hopefully if you get…

I set a goal back in August to be down to 161lbs by the end of October/beginning of November. I'm now at 169lbs which means I'd have to lose 8lbs. So I'm going to aim for that. I'm going finish the 30 Day Shred. I'm going to add in one more exercise session each week. I'm going to meal plan every day, try out some new…

I'd take a break. Listen to what your body is telling you - which is ouch! I started her Ripped in 30 back in January and did it gradually over the next few months. I've never done it for more than at most 4 days a week. I listened to my knees and I like to do other exercises as well. Its definitely made a difference over…

Oh and take a hard look at what you've logged. What were the weak moments? How can you avoid those in the future?

Your height and weight measurements are about the same as mine when I joined back in January. I'm now 29lbs lighter. It is possible to do it, you just need to plan what you're doing. I go for main meal recipes that have not more than 500 calories a serving - there are loads out there. Then bulk out breakfast and lunch with…

Ignore the big goal. Set yourself a smaller challenge, for example lose 10 by November or Christmas. Then when you've reached that goal then set the next one. Think about the Olympic athletes. They have a big goal - to win a medal but they only get that chance once every four years. So they break their goal down - work on…
