I love walking :) I got me a pair of them Sketchers Shape Ups and wear them when I go for walks - I don't know if it helps but boy are they the comfiest pair of trainers I have ever had!

if you don't have protein powder Low Fat Yoghurt and/or Bananas are good thickeners. I just had a Banana and blueberry smoothie which was yummy. Other nice ones to try are: Banana & Strawberry Banana, Pineapple and Orange Berry Blitz (Cherries, Strawberries, Raspberries and Blueberries) The beauty of smoothies is that the…

I know this can be hard for some people...peer pressure is a horrible thing. Some of my friends and family said something similar to you like "oh just have them both" when I was comparing calories. You just have to explain to them that it is a big deal for you at the moment. I used to have someone eat my favourite BAD…

Thanks so much for all the replies guys :) A lot of very helpful info which I will take on board very happily. I'm not worrying too much about what the computer says my main worry is my net - which due to the exercise is sometimes coming to a daily net of 3 figures...which surely can't be too good? or am i missing the…

thank you for the replies! I didn't realise you could change macros etc - i see i have been pretty much over on carbs most days so thank you so much for the advice.

Congratulations! :D I too have started the shred this week again (after a couple of attempts to keep it up and failing :( ) and today is Day 4. I'm determined to finish this time!

I started it a few months ago and the first few days really were treacherous...in my legs and abs especially.. I plan to start the shred again after about 2 months of virtually no gym trips, exercise dvds or anything...so i shall let you know my outcome

D&G Rose The One Body by Burberry Ghost Sweetheart

wow! can't believe the Scottish accent is so popular (I'm Scottish, from Edinburgh.) My favourites would have to be Australian, Irish and Welsh

it might be water weight? I've found that when I drink lots after I exercise lots it takes my body a few days to return to normal.

I don't have any children, however I do work with them and am learning to become a primary school teacher. I was one of the "chubbier" kids at school who constantly dealt with bullying about my weight from the age of about 7. I tried to ignore it and not get anybody involved (sticks and stones and all that) and at the time…

Rose Street Challenge (Edinburgh) pub crawl.......nuff said...pub grub/snacks and a fair amount of booze...

I'm in Edinburgh :) Near Portobello :D

wow! thank you all for so many replies everyone - this will seriously help me! You are all awesome!

yeah someone ordered me a half deep fried pizza up here (Edinburgh) - by mistake. OMG!!! I don't think there has been anything I have eaten which is so vile!!! Its just total grease with a subtle tomatoey flavour - MINGIN'! I couldn't stomach it all and what I did made me rather sick that night :(

35?

Edinburgh here! :)

i am 5"2, 22yrs and my goal is 126lbs :)

I enjoy the Jillian Michaels DVDs too - Amazon has a box set of 4 of hers for a pretty good price - one of my best buys in a long time!

I'm from Edinburgh! :D

I'm also 5"2 and weigh 143 , looking to be down at about 126lbs (as a start) , feel free to add me too :) x

thanks :) i have a strange feeling its kinda been long term - not like years, months perhaps. i'm at 1lb weight loss goal per week and trying my hardest to eat all the goal calories - as well as the ones from exercise. A lot more difficult than I thought it'd be lol

brilliant - this answers my question too. my first day on here and was like "eek" gone over protein Day 1 - not a good start, however, mind now at ease :)
