For the most part yes, but this week I did have some 85% chocoolate. Until then I'd been "clean" for 6 week I think. I gave up sugar as part of my transition to paleo. There is a good article on the same site - how to go primal without trying too hard.

Great article here http://www.stumptuous.com/how-to-dump-sugar Good luck, it will be wonderful to be free.

Maybe he didn't want to help all that much. Reading his food diary I wouldn't be hanging on his nutritional advice anyway...

I have just started week 2 (I'm doing one step a week) of this http://www.stumptuous.com/how-to-go-primal-without-really-trying

One of the best things about losing weight is getting rid of all the goddam control pants! You look beautiful in your LRD!

BUM. Up 1lb to 127.2 BUT I did have my period BUT I also ate more chocolate than I usually do :( So I can't blame water retention, more like Lindt retention :D And I have 3 big meals out between now & next weigh-in!!

Welcome on board deerwedding & pots :) See yis weds!

Ah hard luck Marie, but I posted a topic in community here about the scales not always telling full story (beware - underwear pics of me, might be too much for you :D ) As long as you're getting smaller that's the main thing.

Woohoooooo I'm DOWN, I haven't been down in months! 126.8>126.2 Another 3 ounces and I'll be 8stone something!!! Would be awesome to reach this ultimate goal before Christmas.

If you are training hard you *will* see changes, even if they aren't on the scale, and as the guys on Fat2Ftit radio say you don't goa round with your body weight tatooed on your forehead.

Oh you can tell you are a newbie to this weight loss crap Engol! it means Stayed The Same

I have a polar running watch that I robbed off dh. How about this one? 65e http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/9259120/Trail/searchtext%3EPOLAR.htm You'd have to google and make sure it comes with a chest strap, the finger pulse ones are no good. I love mine and hate when I forget it!

Oh I just had that - with jam, so not much good to you :) I alsoo like a banana split length, with pb along it, then sandwiched back together & cut in slices. Or sliced apple with pb or mature cheddar or 25g nuts

I started the 30 day shred mega thread on mm :) not so much anymore but I did a great weight training DVD programme over the summer called Chalean Extreme, as I couldn't get to gym. Recently during the mid term instead of doing a DVD I did workouts on the Nike training club app I have a pilates DVD my teacher gave me,…

Yes that is the downside of the class membership, very cardio biased. When I am back to regular gym use it will be more weights. I used to do both Pilates and Zumba classes outside the gym but trying to cut back on expenses. I have planned to do pilates on Friday at Rock though.

Yeah I was surprised, where's the atttacking huh?? maybe the attack was on our own bodies with all those jumping jacks, and by god this instructor loves his push-ups! Last time I did aerobics was in the YMCA in Aungier St mid 90's :)

Next race for me will the the Jingle Bells 5k in Phoenix Park. http://donoreharriers.com/home_nav_9.html

Hiya guys, I'm from Dublin (12).

You look amazing jennie! That is exactly the look I am aiming for!

Well done everyone, love seeinga ll the positive changes! Here's mine. Weighed in this morning at 127.6

Thanks, this is a great rescource!

It actually *is* in the healthy bmi range. People carry their weight so differently - I'm 5'3 and 128 pounds but no one would describe me as skinny. 125 is my ultimate goal, was 161 when I started my journey. best of luck in your marathon training - when & where?

Great post Joseph, and well done on some decent losses! no 127's :( sts this week. I think my experiment has run it's course ....final result - my weightloss is about the same and just as erratic on 1575cals as 1200 cals so I will stick to the 1575 thank you :) thanks for all the interest, support & new mfp firends :)

128.8 this morning so down 0.2 lbs whic is ok seeing as I wasn't able to run much this week and had my period. Will try to hit the 127's this week - I have my 20 year school reunion on Friday!

have a look at www.fat2fitradio.com and listen to their podcasts too for great info on eating more than 1200.

Hi Erica. Have look at ww.fat2fitradio.com and look/listen at the how to get out of a plateau soundbite. Hopefully somethingt here will help. I still am uncertain whether I'm doing it right, but basically I am never eating less than 1350 and up to 1585. But I am not eating back exercise cals (for the most part). Sometimes…

Thanks guys!

I was taught to squat "ATG" = *kitten* to grass, so below parallel, you've just got the take the mental leap of faith and drop down that bit more. Lol, tried to find a good demo video - found this!…
