thank you x

im a stay at home mum with 4 kids, my husband gets up at 4 in the morning and i often dont see him till 6 at night, this is 5 days a week, so why should i expect him to start cooking after working so hard all day? also he is a vegetarian has been for 25 years long before i met him, the rest of us aren't why should he have…

i;ve been at this 2 years now, 1 year on here, i found cutting out cheese and chocolate and reducing portion size of pasta helped me at the start

your close to what my starting weight was, i think when you weigh more the weight comes off in greater amounts and fast at first, when i hit 200 it slowed down to a crawl lol i think your doing fabulous and if its working for you then keep at it, as has been suggested though it may be worth going to the docs for a health…

you fall you get back up brush it off and carry on when i was little i used to fall over a lot, my parents always laughed at me and told me to pick myself back up, if i had a (small) cut or graze magic spit cured it (gross i no lol) my younger brother was never treated like this, he was wrapped up in cotton wool and as a…

try not to stress about the numbers to much, i bloat and can gain upto 5lbs after a big exercise session or long walk its usually gone within 48 hours, i had a look at your diary and it all looks fab apart from the going over on sodium, but to be honest im terrible for doing this too, the stand by answer to this is make…

whilst speed walking or exercise bike i listen to my ipod whilst running i listen to my ipod and concentrate on remembering to breathe lol im terrible for holding my breath exercise dvds i mainly have to contend with my 2 year old daughter who likes to copy me but insists on sitting on me (usually my head) as soon as i get…

its only awkward because im with my daughter and shes horrified by it lol

i hate running on my own, think its because it makes me feel very self concious so i go with my 14 year old daughter, we live very close to some beautiful woodland (literally 5 mins walk from our house) that once upon a time used to be part of sherwood forest. what i hate is when we are having a lovely run and accidentally…

i walk in a morning between 3 and 8 miles with a toddler in a pushchair depending on the weather (cant have her out in all weathers) i also walk in the afternoon 3 miles both are the school run so 5 days a week, i try to walk between 3.5-4 mph for most of it but 1.5 miles of both journeys are with my 6 year old and he…

im 5'7 and my goal weight is 158 and is doctor recommended but......... since starting my weight loss i have had many goals, and every time i get close or hit my target i change it, if i had had the goal set at 104lbs to lose from the start i would have failed. hoping to reach the doctors goal by summer (fingers crossed…

eewwwwwwww eggplant yuck, but if you like it why dont you go for moussaka it would satisfy your greek craving and is (maybe) enough like lasagne that your family may go for it

i agree plus if you really really fancy something and end up having a substitute you dont enjoy it i have devils food cake every birthday plus a special meal thats probably way over the top in calories, it hasnt stopped me losing a hell of a lot of weight

personally id eat what ever i wanted and think sod the diet for that day and start afresh the next day but thats just me

2lb of fresh tomatoes any kind but i like vine tomatoes best i red onion chopped 3-6 garlic cloves mnced a handful of fresh basil chopped i tsp olive oil in a pan of boiling water drop the tomatoes in a few at a time until the skin cracks, remove from water skin, de seed and chop roughly fry onion and garlic over a low…

tortilla wraps fruit (amount of sugar not calories) the worst is my homemade devils food cake, its 745 calories per slice plus its served with lots of cream, ok so i dont make it everyday or even every week just for people in our families birthday but there are 6 of us in this house plus i make it for my parents birthday…

^^^^^this plus if you do lose it to fast your skin has less chance of bouncing back naturally, and you will be left with saggy skin

michael ventrella (biggest loser usa winner) or whoever runs his official facebook website posted something last year about joint pain and a new tablet they had been trying called hyaluronic acid, i actually did a bit of research before jumping in and buying them but it does seem they are widely used to treat joint…

are you tracking your sodium intake? this can have an effect on your weight loss or gain, also i honestly dont no anything about your medical conditions so this bit of info may be completely useless to you but......... can you sit comfortably? if so there are some great armchair workouts that you could possibly do im sure…

no gym membership here either lol, i have a quite a few exercise dvds (various jillian micheals and 10 minute solutions mainly) but my main form of exercise is walking its the only thing i do consistantly, i do walk fast and i am pushing a 24lb toddler and its not always on flat ground so i do work up some steam, i joined…

common people by pulp

november 2011 me and my baby girl at disneyland paris, and even though i look really different now to what i do in this picture, its still my favourite

rome life on mars (uk) ashes to ashes and (hiding behind cushion so you cant ridicule me lol) sex and the city

i've lost 90lbs and the only exercise i do consistently is walking, i started off slow and short distances 5 times a week, then as time progressed i got faster. i bought myself an mp3 player so i don't get bored and try to step in time to the beat if its an up tempo song, i also got a free app for my phone called…

no on both counts but.........when i really wasn't seeing any improvement in my body despite losing 50lbs my mum gave me my before picture that she had sneakily took, i now keep it on my fridge as a constant reminder to let myself get that big again

food.com i absolutely love this site, most of the recipes are in american measurements (im in uk) but you can buy a set of cups for next to nothing or convert all recipes to metric/imperial, not all of the recipes are healthy but the variety available is awsome and if you really fancied something it could be made healthier

this exactly lol, ive got 3 friends who have all been discussing me and my weight loss and have come to the conclusion that i have taken it to far now and i'm starting to look ill........ i am still in the overweight bracket, i still have "issues" with various parts of my body (belly and chest mainly), and the only reason…

at the age of 34 i shouldn't have had to lie down for 5 mins after walking up 13 steps, it scared me enough to start a diet and actually stick to it, 21 months later i'm still sticking to it 88lbs down and counting ps all the people who are doing the dieting for your weddings i really hope you get where you want to, i've…

thought it was just me lol, also hate Forrest Gump

if i look even half as good as you when i reach 44 i will be happy xx
