Unfortunately I don't have it to hand but our gym have a formula to calculate how much water you should drink depending on your weight. For me at 248lbs it was 3.8 ltrs - which even they admitted was far too much and to try and drink 2 to 2.5ltrs and more if exercising.

Managed to do 12 Burpees last night, did one normal one and the rest ended up being beginner ones. Did have to stop to catch my breath at no 7 as HR went up to 149!!! Just goes to show how good they are.

Just watched the Burpees, hmm they make it look easy but think I will start with beginners and try a normal burpee and by end of week might be doing 10 normal ones. I'm gyming it tonight so will do these before I go to kick start the burn. Hope you're feeling better Jenni. Also I don't see the chart (not sure if you've…

You just had me in stitches - For last 3 days I've not been able to get the song out of my head - it always makes me smile and want to dance stupidly around house: I like to move it,move it She likes to move it,move it He likes to move it,move it You like to ("move it") ..... You go girl with the weights, she's an idiot.

You've managed to remove the [ ] boxes from around img. find the link and recopy and paste it, then just remove the spaces. x

If you like things like chocolate, biscults/cookies look for lighter options but check the cal and fat contents and compare to normal versions or to what you buy to see if there is a difference. Also by taking your time to look at the nutritional values on the packaging will allow you realise whats in them and maybe by…

Just keeping in touch, just about ot have tea which has got own grown onions and peas, literally picked less than half hour beforehoand so looking forward to tasting them. xVC

I saw this thread yesterday and it took me back to my school days!! I was born early 70s and this is what I remember in the 80s (UK): Wearing leg warmers. Jelly shoes The jelly bag that all the school girls had to have - in some cases matched the jelly shoes Batwing Jumpers Big hair Big padded hair bands Green Goddess…

Absolutely - as soon as eat weight goes on, pee it might go down, exercise, dehydrated, drinking loads of water or alcohol and even Sexy times will flucturate the scales during the day. If you need to weigh yourself everyday, may I suggest when you first get up (after going to the 'potty') and when you go to bed. I do this…

I agree, there are some peopl who have a vain streak and think that by hanging out with friends who are bigger, makes them look better/slimmer!!! I've been there and seen it. You also need to assess what your friendship is like - is it a lot one sided - she wanting you to do what she wants but not keen to do things you…

Hi CCCer's its been a good morning here. So far this week have drank and eaten more than needed for this week challenge so feel good about that. Hey Jenn you've got the right PMA (positive mental Attitude)

Hi everyone, I managed to drink plenty of water yesterday and achieved fruit/veg intake. I've been bashing my head on a mental brick wall for last 2-3 months with mindless grazing at work and worse still on the wrong type of foods (chocolate and sugared ladened foods) but this week I'm trying to eat more fruit instead. I…

You can add a category if one not on there. I did for doing beauty treatments like massages etc As this is in addition to my 'Sendentry' lifestyle. I always wear a HRM (strappy thing and watch) if I want to count it as exercise, so I can accurately record the cals I burn and time.

WOW and great work, a lot of thought and time has been put in, so a raised glass (of water) goes to you. I'm really looking forward to this challenge. Any of you on this challenge please feel welcome to add me as a friend as well. Volatile Chocolate (aka Una)

Amazing results and good for you. like the x rated NSV lol. Hope you don't mind me saying from the two photos in the 2nd photo you look younger as well. You and your family must be very proud.

I live nr Sheffield - a bit further away but more than happy to give and receive support. xVC (Una)

Have you kept a record of your measurements and checked them. I find when I plateau my body still loses inches (especially if keeping up the exercise). I always put it down as body is catching up with the weight already loss. If you exercise have you changed what you do - If not look at that. Even little things like…

I measure around bust and under as well - I always wear the same style bra (sports one) to have consistences in measurement, I don't know if anyone has tried this or noticed - i find that if I measure my waist whilst wearing a bra its always 2 to 4 inches bigger than when i measure without a bra. Needless to say I always…

Make absolutely sure you're using raw, unrefined, unfiltered, undeodorized coconut oil. It'll have a light taste and smell of coconuts. There is more than one brand out there on healthfood shelves that says "virgin"- but you won't find "raw" or "unrefined" anywhere on the label. Start with just adding 1tbsp and gradually…

Go and find yourself a guy who doesn't matter what size you are and love you for who you are. Your husband is a jerk. I did just that - I started dating - was honest on my profile about my size (Uk size 24 at the time) and I had so much interested I was so suprised. I lacked confidence and self esteem but thankfully used…

I live near Sheffield, UK and you can find majority of uk brands/supermarket foods on the database. If its something new thats recently come on the market you can add it yourself. Also you'll find that there is various measurements ranging from grams, ounces, cups etc. xVC (Una)

Alarm goes off 5 times between 5.53 - 6.10am!! Check the cat is still alive. Pee and weigh myself and be thrilled, okay or disappointed. Then clean teeth etc. Out the house by 6.25am.

Going back to the very beginning, it is possible to alter the cals burn on the exercises. It is also possible to add 'exercise' if you can't find what you are looking for. So going to the 'Sitting' exercise - I would say someone obviously felt that it counted as exercised and added it, the cals burned would have been based…

JulieF11 you're definitely not alone with the clinchers and body huggers, When the need must, I wear a pair that go from the knees right up to under the bust. The first trick is trying to work out which way round they go. Then followed by a lot of stretching, pulling, swearing and broken nails. After all this feeling hot n…

I've never done the tshirt stretch - but now know about it - it may come in handy. I've done the tight shorts(body huggers) under a dress - for brother's wedding, also did this when wanted to wear trousers that were just that too tight on a night out with work collegues. I don't wear skirts or dresses because of the…
