Hey!! just spotted this. I actually just posted a topic on hunger!! greatm minds think alike ;-) When are you exercising? it made a difference to me to eat right after or i was ravenous all day!! drinking lots of water also helps.. or spacing meals closer together.. if i get to the point of being really really hungry at…

excellent work!!!! great results!! well done girl!

Great article!! Good old exercise and cardio!! It's funny people have been asking me alot lately how I've lost weight and say so how did you do it... And are somewhat dis-intereares when I say exercise and eating 5 small meals!!!

Interesting post!!

Same as this one LauraAkaTigger!!

I have registered and have attempted to re-send the activation mail about 5 times but still have not recieved it, can you help?

I'm in the same position now, I've reached a weight I'm happy at but it's scary to up the cals by too much as I'm afraid of un doing my efforts, I've just started to reduce cardio and alternate with less intensive weight training and toning... I just love my cardio and find the "slower" stuff boring!!! So I'm finding it…

I drive the distance in my car, then divide by time it takes me to walk it!!

For the first couple of weeks of MFP all I did was walk and I lost the first stone!! My walking is really fast.. I push myself to wak as fast as I possibly can (my nickname is speedy at work!!) I walk at 5mph.. I do 2 lunchbreaks for 15-20 mins each straight after eating. Yes... I am starting to sweat but for only 15 mins…

I like this post!! I think true friends don't hinder progress.. They are looking at your best interests...my Hubby is quick to bring me back down to earth when I'm getting to bogged down in it!! The friends i have on one here are all fantastic.. And for me are one of the biggest motivators... And i dont know any…

Thanks armywife!!! Good to see someone is on my wavelength!!! I'm actually laughing out loud!!!

Ahem... not really sure why you wanted to state that a man would leave.... my husband loves my curvy figure.. after 8 years together and one year of marriage i am not insecure about our relationship.. It is not relationship advice I am looking for... nor reassurance. I have decided myself that I have found a balance…

thank you.. That's more the kind of advice I was looking for!!!

Oh.... Just to note... I've been doing 60-80 mins of cardio 5 days a week and using handweights and using a step so perhaps. Can change some of this time to more strength

thanks so much!! Yep feel like I'm in a debate on whether to lose more... I don't mind losing a few pounds more but I've been losing 2-4 lbs a week so I am looking at the next step!!! Haha!!! I'll try your advice.. Thanks!!!

thanks!!! Looks like I'll just have to use trial and error!!

thanks!!! Looks like I'll just have to use trial and error!!

Haha!! No recipe, I lost every week (except one) and loads of exercise!!! 5 days a week... And mostly cardio. I'll friend you and help you any way I can x

Perhaps I'm coming across wrong... I'm happy out!! Just want to stay where I am but tone up instead of losing weight!!! Lol!!!

thanks chris!! I'm looking for that kind of advice, I'm happy with where I am but want to stay fit and healthy and am looking for the right way to achieve that!!! I think I'll try more strength and less cardio first for a week, then up cals gradually... Thanks!!!

my loss is def affecting my shape, "back" is ok!! Wanna fit into clothes well... That for me is filling them!!! Hubby would not be impressed if I lost the shape he fell in love with!!

I always do my own thing!!! Just looking for advice on the next step!!! I'm actually happy with my progress... I feel great and I'm in a uk 10, us 8... I have no desire to be a size zero or even a size 4!!!

Thanks for the reply!! That's kinda my dilemma, my boobs in particular have got smaller and I have a little excess on my belly... That's where I hold weight so no point in losing my chest in persuit of a flat belly... I just need to keep toning there... I know I can't spot reduce fat. Just not sure if I should move cals…

Hard boiled eggs (maybe just one yolk) and if you have time a few mushrooms & tomato lightly fried in 1 cal spray is lovely!! Or an omlette could be done the night before, and reheated at work?

I wasnt stretching properly or warming up.. I kept with the programme at an easier rate and it did get better.. although 2 days on im due a rest day now!!! Hope your legs are better!!

Weekends are the hardest.. I'm presuming for everyone!! I find I just keep mooching in the cupboards looking for more!!! The only thing I do is to only have healthy food in the house.. so if I am picking I can only eat "good" stuff.., I also have rest days during the week and exercise at weekends so I have an extra…

Lotus flower it is in the upper half of the calf, not lower

Thanks for the advice!!! So my biggest question is will I continue or rest? I'm already warming then up and stretching today, I got advice to do the downward dog yoga mice which seems to be stretching it nicely too but I will definitly follow the other stetches you have advised... I'm not one to give up easily!!!
