Thanks for the advice!! I'm warming and stretching now so maybe will switch to another workout. Might try something thats not as much on my toes!!! Looks like skipping is out for a couple of days too!!

It isn't sharp pain at all, it's like a dull ache although quite painful ( although I have a high pain threshold!!! ) it is stiff on both legs. I know I could do the same workout I just don't want to make it worse and end up having to take a few days break from exercise as a result. I have a heated beanbag on it now to…

Thanks for the replies!! I asked for lactose intolerant advice and ended up with chicken balti whick looked a little oily but Ihad loads of cals left as I did extra exercise, i just had a third of a small container of rice!! Not as low cal as I planned but I enjoyedit and was under my allowance so all good!!!

thanks for the reply!! might try the chicken tikka.. but will def say lactose intolerant.. should help me steer clear of too many baddies!!

I have just seen your post and feel exactly the same, had a long chat with my sister last night particularly about mettng her for coffee and having A cream cake that I worked out before and after for. I have lost 20lbs in 8 weeks and am only 4/5 lbs off where I want to be. I realised last night that I feel guilty on days I…

Well done!!! There is a massive difference!!! You ate looking fit and happy!!!!

Well done!!! There is a massive difference!!! You ate looking fit and happy!!!!

I eat 2 hours before bed every night as my last meal. I eat 5 times a day. I have still lost!! As long as overall calorie intake is under I think it's ok. it's a long time fasting if you don't eat a long time before bed until you get up in the morning and eat. If j did that k would wake up in the middle of the night hungry.

I eat the same breakfast most days, and plan that. I eat 5 times a day at least so try to make a\ll below 300cals (there abouts). I have least control over my supper (last meal) as hubby cooks it for me for when I get and he doesnt really grasp that cause I eat so often, that bit of extra cheese messes me up!!!! I am also…

Hi!! I also like activia.. and they do work.. but I found that after doing this diet, that at times I felt uncomfortable and like I neededt o go for a day or two but couldnt... I went to the health food shop to ask for a fibre supplement.. the guy told me that i was eating enough fibre.. thanks MFP for tracking that!!1 but…

Great post!! I'm the eat. Everything on my plate girl!! Learning to male hem smalller meals as I eat at least 5 meals a day!!

I live in Ireland and I Like options begian chocolate low cal drink (37 cals), just yesterday I bought some low cal instant soups too (38 cals) that I used yesterday with a wrap to have something warm. The soup is thin so diesn't really feel like you ate eating anything but is tasty and warm. I use knorr soup with I'd…

Wow!! You gave me loads of great ideas. I'm definitly going to try some of those!!!

Please excuse the typos!! My phone doesn't show a preview ;-p

Try to vary your exercise so your body isn't getting used to it. Use different exercises and switch them around. Also make sure you have altered your calorie etc goals based on your new weight , not your starting weight. You may also be gaining muscle so you may see a difference in your waist etc measurements bytnitvon the…

I'm in!!! lost 11lbs in my first 3 weeks.. so doing well.. but i know its going to slow rapidly down now.. so id love to keep the focus and see 5lbs in september!!! SW: 149 GW (SEPT): 145 GW (Christmas ) :133

dont know if we have those ingredients here in ireland!! never heard of mrs dash!! but it sounds gorgeous!!

Wow I'm going to look it up!!

I must check out the weightwatchers spoons!! might help!! prob not a good idea to take them to work though.. could get funny looks!!!

Some of the normal every day cleaning would be tracked as your lifestyle choice... Sedentary, active ect that you chose when setting your goals. If you are on your feet all day at work it is active.. The sane would apply for a busy mom at home. I only ever track housework if it is making me begin to sweat and takes alot of…

[/quote] I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT "CUP" IS! I use grams or ounces - prefer grams tho :) [/quote] Lol!!! since when do we eat carrots out of cups instead of on a plate?!!

My husband thinks I'm crazy when I get the scales out!! But it's the only way to keep track. I think i end up over counting some fruit and veg when I'm not at home so I'm not cheating myself!! But it's the only way, although it would be handier to use tbs instead of cups or oz as it's easier to calculate. I have no real…

I wouldnt include it every day.... but i did clean mysisters house before she moved in at the weekend.. and included it.. although i did use those calories.. sometimes I wouls go on a cleaning frenzy for a couple of hours.. mopping and sweeping all the floors.. running up and down the stairs with clothes ect.. if I have…

Good luck!! I too have the app and it makes life so much easier to track on-the-go!! I think without the app I wouldn't be able to keep track, would forget the "snacks" and would probably have just gone through another fad. Find "friends" here with similar goals and they will help support you along the way. This is my…

Count me in!! Let me know what to do next!!

If your that offended why bother coming back to the post? The girl did it in good faith and then said she didn't mean offence... Let it go!!! We should absolutely be giving positive energy not negative :-/ come on ladies!!!

I put on my favourite song, put the leads on my 2 dogs and take my frusration out on the road power walking!!! Load a couple of songs that can't fail to put you in good humour and use them to get some fresh air!!! Great music and fresh air with a lovely hot shower and comfy pjs after ( if it's the evening) always sorts me…

Great start!! Keep it up!!! You'll feel better by doing one thing every day!!

My face is always first to lose... And the first place to gain.., when I've seen a couple of double chins in the past I knew it was time to get healthier again!! I also put kn weightin my belly so I usually lose it first there too, boobs too unfortunately :-(
