That's amazing :D x

6th Jan - Walked the school run. It's about 1.7 miles round trip and doing it again this afternoon. No more lazy Jakki :D It may seem a little change but to me it's massive. I'm just about coming out of my PND and i'm not sleeping too good. Getting up in time has always been a problem but I'm kicking myself up the bum so…

This. :D

Congratulations :) I had my little boy 4 months ago and I'm sure you know this, but just in case, I want to share something that I didn't know with you. Do NOT start doing sit ups or anything similar until you have had your 8 week check. If you start doing them, apparently you end up with a dome and will forever have a big…

Thanks! I've had it about 5 times in the last 10 years- not recently though. My other half reckons i'm working too hard or not drinking enough (or both) I'm pretty sure it's muscular and weight related (one of the main reasons I am on a mission to lose it) I will check out those stretches you mentioned :)

There was no way I could I have gone last night, I was in so much pain I couldn't even wipe my own *kitten*! I'm 4 months post-partum so my core sucks big time - I try and focus on it everyday, but I guess I had better put that on hold for a few days then.

Yeah it's lower back and I am from the UK :) I shall take some ibuprofen and brave it then I think. Thanks for the advice :) xxx Do you do any weights?

How awful for you. I feel sick thinking about it. I can't offer any advice I'm afraid as thankfully, I have not been in your position- not knowing about it anyway. Dig deep to find out what you really want and need. See your friends. Do not blame yourself and best of luck with it. I do think you deserve better though from…

XBL: GreengirlBrown Havn't played much in ages, but I feel a GOW3 in Horde coming after the gym,,,,,,, Other than gears, I play LFD, Rocksmith, Rockband, Dance central and Kinect Adventures..... I really wish I had more time these days. Not enough hours in the day!

I think you're about the closest to me....... 5ft9 SW 282 CW 261 GW 170

Was going to say avocado- but it does have some saturated fat in it.. I know you mentioned nuts....... Almonds- 0 fat- lots of protein I'm basically trying to think of foods that I'M not allowed to eat! Dark chocolate Malted milk drinks.... A nice big mug made with milk before bed can rack you up 400kcals I found this....…

That is just simply amazing. What dedication you have :) xxx

Strength training is great! Really rewarding. Have a look at your gym for the weight machines that target your back muscles (or ask someone there) Pick a weight that is challenging but do-able. 10 reps x 3 every other day. Guarantee within 2 weeks you will up the weight and feel stronger. May take two months before it…

Seems coincidental to me, but perhaps that's exactly what it is.... I always find that when I switch to just water it goes right through me so it could possibly be dehydration I guess.... Maybe I need to eat bread or something to keep it in me longer...

For those that live in the UK: It's such a sunny day, there is nothing quite like an ice cold can of diet coke. But it HAS to be in the form of a can.... am I right? :D

I've unintentionally given up diet fizzy drinks recently (because It's expensive and I forget to buy them) And the last two days I've had a lingering headache. I read up on line about something to do with it being caffeine withdrawal, but I drink a gallon of coffee! I wonder what it is in it that causes this........

Sorry, I have too many friends..... Hahahahah. Not. :D Please add me. I'm lonely. and desperate. And in need of adult conversation....no..... not THAT kind..... I have a baby and spend most of the day saying "goo goo ga ga" and "oh dear, is that you being a smelly boy?" and "oh you've done a poo you clever boy"

I think the concensus is whatever suits you as long as you do get rest days then. I seem to be on the right track. I started the gym on Saturday and I cannot believe how much energy I have today. I'm even typing super fast! On with the cleaning :D

with weights I tend to do everything. work my way up the body. I swapped brisk walking for swimming today. :)

I like the multi-vits because I get the D complex and A so would definately prefer to keep taking them if possible. I feel a bit guilty about going to the doctor just for that.... maybe I could speak on the phone or something...... Thanks for the advice. I think I will chat to the doc first. In the mean time, I'm taking…

Anybody???

Definately back to the doc with you young lady. I'm not too bad but I'm struggling a bit with PND and going to the doc was the best thing I could do. Stop feeling guilty about putting on your family and friends (easier said than done, I know) and start talking about it. I got prescribed exercise and CBT but i'm a very…

Woah woah woah woah woah there. You have drive-through coffee places. I hate the UK. Making me walk a mile and a half to get my skinny hazelnut latte.

I'm a chocolate addict too and I would highly recommend the options hot chocolate. They vary from 38-60kcals per sachet and they are just awesome at nipping a craving in the bud. They don't ALWAYS work, but it helps :) xxx

Sound similar to me too. I have 100lbs to lose and I'm just above my pre-pregnancy weight and now I'm not moving! :(

Glad I joined this group. I've lost a fair bit but now i'm just stuck. 4 months in ebf xxx

Porn.

Coffee ROCKS. Tea is for losers. Fact. coffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeecoffeebiscuit

I'm pretty sure that showering that much is bad for your skin! Saying that, when I was in Italy I was in the shower many times a day to cool down! xxx I'm not afraid to say that I shower every other day unless I've been active and swearing.
