Good luck to you! You have a great attitude - stick to it! :wink:

If I kept a bottle of vinegar with me at all times, it wouldn't last long, cos I'd drink it all!!!! lol I'm such a vinegar addict.

I know exactly what you mean. I too got pretty OCD about it... doing anything from 2-3 hours a day - EVERY DAY! I was single too then..... now I'm not, although I do exercise... I just don't at the same rate, and the weight either creeps back or stays the same. I've steadily put on half of what I initiallly lost... so I…

Yep... I don't find my chest strap uncomfortable at all. Like naugustyniak says, just tuck it under your bra band and it feels no different.

If you've joined a gym, check out if they do any classes. Circuits is the best for weight loss, as it's an overall work out. I'm about 13.5 stone, and I work off approx. 750 calories in a 50 min session!!! Also I do the spinning class, and the body combat class... workouts to music are probably the most fun. I'm still a…

That's great to hear. Keep up the good work and you'll reach your next goal in no time! :wink:

Hey Bees Bella...I bought one recently from Tesco. It's their own 'OneLife' one, rather than the Polar - as it's £10 cheaper.... and you know what - it' s got more features on it. It cost £14.87, and I totally love it. It's a real eye opener to what you're really burning off. ... and yes if you want to know a complete day,…

Well done you! :happy: Great work!!!

Pirate - I'm the same. If I eat breakfast, I get hungrier sooner... I never used to eat breakfast at all.... Now I've given in a little, by eating something, if not much. I have my main meal at the end of the day, but it's not so bad because I do my exercising mainly first thing in the morning. Think you gotta work with…

I love crisps. If I have any calories to spare, every so often I will have them. I find it hard to stop with crisps - I'll eat them til they're coming out of my ears. haha

Yeah that's what I averaged too... although since I got my HRM which has all my actuals typed into it, I seem to burn off more than that. I figure it's more acurate as knows my heart rate, age and weight - where as the machine doesn't have that information. Although I type in my weight, it doesn't know my heart rate unless…

Sorry I didn't get any notifications of replies to this for some reason.... Yes I try to just stick to my 1200 calories. I do put my exercise calories on the journal, but try not to use them.... if I do go over, it's usually on a high exercise day, and the most I will eat on that day is 1500 calories. I normally work out 5…

I bought a Tesco One Life one on Monday. It's brilliant. Only £14.87...... as opposed to the Polar one - which was £27.99.... and not half as good. I love it... wonder why I didn't get one sooner. Seeing those burnt off calories adding up is addictive. hehe.

What is this team thing?

I'm on 1,200. I too, try my best not to eat any of the exercise calories, but if I do, I do... that's what they're there for - back up. :wink: As long as I don't go over, I'm happy.

I went to my first spinning class last week - I've always been scared to go in.... but just bit the bullet and did it. Totally loved it! I think everyone in there was much fitter than me, but it didn't matter. Everybody is concentrating on themselves and having fun - nobody will laugh at you, and you will wish you'd gone…

Well done you! Now for the next journey.:tongue: I'm the same... recently overweight. Feel's SO much better and can finally say I'm not Obese. :smile:

Well done you! That's great. Keep up the good work - you'll soon be on the other side of 200. :wink:

Thanks pyckse :wink: Must have worked - I'm picking up a little now. It's not the food I have so much of a problem with, it's exercise. Trouble is, I know I enjoy it when I do it - it's just 'doing' it in the first place. lol I did a spinning class last night and loved it... heading to the gym after work today. Just got to…

Well done.. that's great. :wink: :happy: I can't wait til I can fit back in to my Size 12 jeans. Got a little way to go yet unfortuntately.... but I'll do it.

I would say.... pack your lunch for the day, and don't bring any spare money for food with you - that way you can't buy any more. You can't eat what you don't have!!! I too have a desk job these days. I'm still finding it hard adjusting from November when I changed from a highly active job on my feet all day and walking…

Welcome Nat, and good luck... hope you find the motivation and support you need. I'm desperate for some motivation at the moment - for some reason it's all gone out the window.

Well done. You go girl! :glasses:

As long as you really want it and you stick to it - keep focused on your goals, I have no doubt you will do it. :smile: What are your goals? And how do you plan to reach them??? Good luck. :wink:

Hmmm, well you know the problem hits you about 3pm, so why not schedule a walk at that time - or anything that keeps you busy and away from the cupboards. I know with me, if I get peckish at a time when I don't want to be - if ignored, the feeling will have passed with in 20 mins.. so just make sure you're busy for about…

I'm a bit confused too.. 4,000 calories a day???

What are smores????

In a small room of a secured building, with combination lock doors and no windows!!!

Good for you, and well done.... I've only managed 9 lbs since the start of January! ... and 6 of them I lost over the last couple weeks! So go you! Great on keeping up a steady loss. Good luck on the rest of your 'Journey'... You can do it. :o)

I agree.... I think it looks nasty. *lol* I wouldn't even eat that if you paid me!!!:noway:
