HI i am fi a working single mum of 2 very energetic kids, this is day 4 for me as started 1 sept when kids went back to school, thank you for starting the group, i want to lose 30lbs for christmas, then another 30 for my holidays in florida next yesr, good luck to everyone did swim this morning at 6am!

going to try week 3 day 1 tonight, bit scared lol

well done and thank you, i am on week 3 day 1 (tommorow) and i am bit worried about the 3 min run, good to hear again it was just what i needed to hear at this moment thank you for sharing and good luck going forward

i think the secret it to go slow and do more rather than race, the walk i only do at 5km and the run/jog at 6km, my legs ache but i hope thats a good thing and means i am using them for the first time in ages, i am also trying to swim a lot and do a couple of spinning classes to give me an all round fitness increase as…

HI hope you got on well last night, the first time i did week 1 it took me 3 weeks to complete it, i just worked it up gradually, i thought i would struggle from week1 to week 2 but did it straight through, bit worried about week 3 and running 3 minutes but if i only do 2 minutes fine, next day will do 2 and half minutes…

Hi i have just finished week 2 and a bit scared as looked at week3 day 1, but its a great programme really enjoying it, i can only manage twice a week but been swimming and spinning in between.

its an excellent rant and i agree with you, this year i have said to myself i dont care what the scales say, i know i am eating healthy and exercising more, my insides must be perfect lol good luck with your journey

This happened to me as well, I am in the UK but she said 800 cals a day, it was before i joined here so did not know much about anything and had been eating around 1000 cals a day before hand and took her my diary, she treated me like i had been on about 3000 a day, i am 4ft 10 but even to do this day still find it hard I…

Hi I have just been through similar circumstances, i also have had trouble with my discs in the past and the extra weight kills them. I also have 2 children but they are 13 and 10. In a place also i have said this year i am going to think about me for a change, my ex did not pay the mortgage so house very nearly repsossed…

if she likes water based and feels it easier most pools have aqua aerobics, the class i went to there were several people there very overweight and just did what they could.

bump always looking for new ideas

yes i was same, but stress i felt is a big cause, also dairy doesn;t agree with me, a good balance seems to work with me,

hi, can fully understand what you are going through as my doctor also put me on 800 cal a day, i stumbled upon my fitness pal and got all the same "you are crazy" responses, its hard as you do try and trust your doctor, i went back to him and said all my doubts but like you he said rubbish. I struggled a bit at the…

that was brilliant thank you, love graphs

Hi my diary is open, i am also 44 and live in the south west england, try to eat clean, at the moment doing well but i do feel it more a life choice eating as best as you can when you can but events, things happen and if i went on holiday or to an event i am going to enjoy myself knowing next day will carry with my healthy…

the lady above said "they hooked me up to this machine for a while and calculated me BMR which is 2,214 so my body burns that on it's own everyday has anyone in the uk had this done?" as she is from america.

i have a lot of picnics as my kids do triathlons, i make up prawns or tuna with cottage cheese. lettuce , cucumber tomato, onions, with a bit chiillii and garlic all mixed up together, sometimes add walnuts and have my tub of salad, also make up a fruit salad with fage (greek yogurt) protein powder for flavour,…
