Thanx so much for your replies, i think i'm just not used to trusting my own judgement when it comes to food. I'm sure this is the best chance to finally do this, and i do feel so much more committed this time. Thankyou all again. x

hi thanx for all the replies, i have 4 children including twins who are 2. so i do a lot of running around after the kids school runs etc, thats why i put lightly active. i also do an exercise dvd most days. i think i will drop half a pound a week cos i can't eat all of these calories anyway. Thanx for all the advice…

Thanx for the reply hun, do you think if i put in to lose 2lbs per week it would bring it down drastically?? x

Hi team uk, i'm in Liverpool so i thought i'd join you all as extra motivation. good luck to everyone! Julie x

Hi there, i know how you feel hun. its hard work but you've been doing really well to keep going. Now i know lots of people are going to be shaking there heads and tutting but, if i get sweet tooth cravings i sip on a can of diet coke, it really does work...it might be psychological because i know its not good for me, but…

hiya, yeah i've seen that one, i've been lookin on ebay for a pole and dvd and there are quite a few of the carmen electra ones available. Do you think it gives a good enough workout? and also do you know how many cals it burns in each session? Cheers hun. x

congrats on your weight loss btw, its a hard slog isn't it!! how long has it taken you to lose the 25lbs? x

Yep sounds like me!! haha. i do really want to do this though, so thanx for your support, much appreciated huni i'll add you as a friend if thats ok. x

Ha ha! yeah i can imagine, i suppose it would be better to take an actual class for the calorie burning part. i just think it sounds lots of fun for a different kind of workout. what were the classes like? x
