I don't have an end goal either - On here I just put it in as somewhere in my healthy weight range. I've never been that thin either so I guess I will know when it feels right. I'm also relying on friends and family to give me advice on that etc - people can normlly tell if you weigh too less for your frame etc. I'm gona…

bump :) I'm interested in this too

Which one did you get louise? could you possibly send me the details in a message? I'm in the UK too and want one, but don't want to pay too much money. Thanks in advance :) Mel x

I think vodka is about 52 cals a shot. The flavoured ones have a few more. I drink red wine. even though its more cals It doesn't take many to have an effect on me :p whereas I have to drink a lot of vodkas (the other night I had 8 doubles - I was having a cheat day btw lol)

I started off as sedentary then changed to lightly active. I read a post on here (poss from the creator I think) that made me change my mind.I have an office job but I walk to the bus stop (15mins) then get a bus then have a 15 minute walk to work. sometimes I repeat that on the way home, other times I get a lift. AsI…

When I started on here I decided to cut down on alcohol. I was drinking quite a bit of cider and wine every other night. I now only drink twice a week maximum. I have found it so much easier and enjoy that glass of wine so much more. For example I haven't drunk since monday (when I met with a friend) and now having a glass…

2100 seems quite high considering the average woman needs 2000 and in order to loose weight you need a calorie deficit. How many calories have you been eating since the start of February? It's a bit difficult to give advice without seeing your diary.

Same with me - I was on here before and failed without support. See you're from the UK too :) Will send you a friend request. Good luck x

Well said. I always try and eat my exercise calories and have lost 24 pounds since january 4th :)

I've preordered zumba coz its not out in the UK til the end of the month. I'm really looking forward to it tho :) I have to admit sweat mode wasn't what I thought it was - I'm not sure I really see the point of it.

It was my first time doing these - and I managed to smash my light bulb with the wii controller - oops!! But anyways my scores were: jungle boogie 4121 crazy in love 8019 soul bossa nova 5219 If my partner lets me play it again (lol) I shall try and improve these scores.

Yes! I am so excited I bought just dance 2 this morning and am really happy to be able to take part in this. I had the first one but couldn't afford the second one. But have just been given a gift card as a present so got £20 off :D I cannot wait to try it out but am having a rest day today because my legs are very sore.…

Try planning what you eat at the beginning of the day and trying to add just a little bit extra to each meal. Orange juice is also a very good idea :) quite a lot fo cals and also good for you :) I don't really know what you eat but maybe if you have lighter options try not having them and having full fat things instead. I…

I don't think there are that many low calorie ones in the UK. I only have bread as a treat, I don't eat it everyday but that is mainly because I love it and I can easily have it for breakfast and lunch and at 100 calories or so a slice it soon mounts up. If I only have it occasionally I can keep better control over my…

Friend requests sent :)

I tried this last night and it was lovely! A good substitute for pasta sauce :)

When I first started I weighed in every few days coz I was loosing a lot due to drastic change in my diet. I now weigh in once a week - I see better results that way. And I weigh on a friday coz I normally have bad weekends and have the week to sort it out. Although weighing once a week drives me crazy - I realy want to…

laughing cow mixed with pasta sounds good - never thought of that before!

Im having grilled pork with cajun seasoning, steamed potatoes and veg with gravy :)

does the wii zumba tells you how many calories your workout burns? My other wii game does and its really really handy :)

oooooo that sounds good! My friend told me it speeds up metabolism - not sure how true that is though

Highlights hot chocolate is yum :) Muller light yoghurts are normally under 100 cals - and they are a good size too

Thanks everyone :) I didn't realise I could log my measurements on here - I normally log my weight on my phone and can't do it on there.

You're not the only one that feels this way I hate exercise too! I tried running last year and hated it. Thought I would enjoy it once I got going but really didn't and I had signed myself up for a 10k race and had to do it :( Have you got a wii or xbox? It may be good for you to investigate some of the fitness games out…

I just tried the zumba DVDs and really did not enjoy them. Loved the class though but just found the DVDs boring. I gave up after 15 mins. :(

I've been at this since 4th january and lost 20lbs (7weeks). Weight loss is definitely faster at the beginning, I reckon it will slow down though. A lot of it is water retention and I also think the big change of being on a diet causes you to loose a lot, as your body gets used to it you will loose less. I think thats why…

I've preordered the wii zumba game am really looking forward to it. The only problem is that I live in a top floor flat - I'm not sure the flat below would be happy with me doing it so may have to weight until I move into a house which should be in the next couple of months. In the meantime I went to a class last night and…

I weigh everything. even things like breakfast cereal. But for me it's more about the control. I like to have control over what I eat and I feel if I keep control by weighing things I can loose weight. The minute I loose control and stop weighing I start putting on weight.

Really glad you are enjoying them :) I think they are fantastic :) I especially like the ones with just a little bit of chocolate in - i'm happy if i'm having chocolate and this way only have a little amount.

I always have a snack set aside for on the way home from work coz I always feel that way. It really helps. I normally plan out what I will eat in a day at breakfast time
