Thank you for your motivational words, I feel really inspired and ready to go. good luck with your own goals too :smile:

Hello, I am trying to get fit for my wedding next year. I'm going to start running for 30 minutes 3 to 4 times a week. But think I will need to build up by doing a fast power walk / jog intevals first, as I am a bit unfit!! I'm inspired by all your posts, so will be back to read more and let you know my progress :smile:

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments and words of support. I feel really inspired now. I have exactly 14 months today until my wedding day, so hopefully I will have transformed my body shape by then and look fab. Good luck with your own goals too :smile: How do I add you as a buddy Belldandy? Thanks everyone x…

I know I was thinking should I go but then thought 'life is too short!' and if I'm gonna stick to this healthy lifestyle for good then I'm gonna have some fun whilst I'm doing it!! :happy: Thanks.... so if I go for anything grilled, steamed and veggie I'll be being good :smile: got to be a lot better than my old favorite -…

Thanks, I love veggie food too so I will go for that :smile:

.. and need your help. Please can anyone give me any advice as to lower calorie foods to pick please? I know I am probably going to go over my calorie allowance, but I thought it might help a bit if I chose the lower fat options. I know Chicken Tikka peices and Tandorri Chicken are supposed to be a good choice, but any…

I have this problem too! it's like a get a little devil on my shoulder.. it's hindered my weight loss the last couple of weeks as had a lot of social gatherings, the only good thing is I haven't put on weight as been exercising.. but I could kick myself for being naughy now... long way from my goal :sad: Gonna try harder…

Agree... Starving yourself doesn't sound like fun... and will do more harm than good! much better to follow a calorie controlled diet and exersize.

I have found that doing 30 minutes on the treadmill 4 to 5 times a week has really helped get the weight off and tone me up.. I don't run though, I power walk for 1 minute, then jog for 1 minute, then run for 1 minute and keep repeating this until the 30 minutes is up.. Sounds boring, but if you put on some really good…

Sounds yummy, thanks :smile:

Does anyone know any nice and easy recipes I can cook for 300 cals or less please?.. this is what I have left for today and would really like to try and stick to it, would be much appreciated if any of you have any you would like to share with me.

Well done to you all. I'm really happy too, only been a member for just over a week and have managed to get 4Ibs off already!! I've been trying to loose weight for over 2 years and kept giving up, but with this plan and the help of everyone on here, it is much easier this time... Keep going girls :flowerforyou:

Don't be discouraged, it could just be down to water retention or time of the month. Stick at it and you will definitely see the results in the long run. But I wouldn't try and loose any more than about 2Ibs a week, this is a healthy amount, anything more isn't supposed to be good for you and you will only pile it back on…

Thanks, its so nice to get moral support from you. And also nice to know I'm not the only one! you're right we are only human and can have little rewards from time to time... just been to the gym and done an hour and a half of cardio, so that just about burnt off the tikka masala I reckon. Nice healthy chicken salad for…

Was really naughty last night and had quite a lot of wine and then an indian takeaway! had too much wine to make a healthy choice and went for a tikka masala!!! (oops!) feel really bad today, but not going to let it spoil my progress... going to eat extra healthy today and go and slog it out at the gym. Hopefully it will…

Thanks I won't worry about it then :happy:

Hello, wondering if anyone can give me any advice about protein..? When I log my food diary it is saying that I am going over my protein each day by 10 sometimes 20, is this a bad thing.. I don't think I am eating loads, but it seems to be hidden in some foods I hadn't realised had it. Thanks Nancy :smile: Created by…
