Weighed in this morning at 102.1kg, so I'm down 1.3kg since my last post. Happy with my progress so far, as I've shed 6.6kg in 6 weeks, which is amazing for me! I have 8 weeks to my show, and if I could shed another 6-8kg by then, I'll be over the moon!

My first bike ride in 3 years yesterday. 18 April: 7 miles Total to date: 7/2022

I started intermittent fasting at the end of March and weigh in on a Sunday, so my weigh in days are actually the day before the dates shown. Fast days are 1000-1200 cals per day (I do 3 p/w) and non-fast days are 1800-1900 cals per day (4 p/w). I'm in rehearsals for a show twice per week (show will be end of June into…

Im aiming to shed 10kg before my show which starts 28th June, so this Challenge is perfectly timed for me! I'm doing intermittent fasting with 3 fast days per week (1000-1200 cals per fast day, 1800-1900 per non-fast day). Rehearsals twice per week, dance class once a week, walking with a friend 1-2 times per week, and I…

Hi everyone. Im Kell, a 45 year old SAHM to two lovely boys, and part time semi-pro actor. I currently weigh 103.4kg. I started intermittent fasting 4 weeks ago and have shed 5.3kg since then. I fast 3 days a week (eating 1000-1200 cals per day on fast days, and 1800-1900 per day the rest of the time). At the moment, I…

I'd love to try this! Just got my new bike built and will begin cycling regularly once the kids get back to school in a week's time. Really looking forward to getting on my bike!

I'm down 4.2kg, and have another 30kg or so to go.

I'm in Northumberland, on the north east coast of England.

Even my fussy 6 year old son likes this soup! It's a lovely, warming soup with a little kick from the spice that is delicious! Tomato, Chickpea and chorizo soup 1 tsp oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 small onion, chopped (around 95g) 1 ham stock cube 500mls passata (you can use a couple of tins of chopped tomatoes if…

Hi there! I'm Kell, a 38-y-o SAHM to two lovely boys aged 6yrs and 15 months. To be honest, I wasn't exactly skinny when I fell pregnant with my eldest son, and I never really lost the weight after he was born. Now that I've had my second son over a year ago, I'm heavier than I've ever been and am desperate to reclaim my…

I LOVE these ingredients! :)

Tomatoes Eggs Sweet potato Spinach Onions Nuts Bananas I'm assuming basics such as flour and milk are a given. With these ingredients I can make a basic pasta sauce and make sweet potato and spinach gnocci (in place of pasta - way tastier and better for you) with only the addition of flour. I can also make smoothies with…

You were cute before but you are totally gorgeous now - wow! Well done on such a great achievement in such are short time, and best of luck with the surgeries - you're an inspiration! <3

Do some baking! There are plenty of low-cal, low-fat treats, both savoury and sweet, you can make as snacks. I like to make savoury muffins with carrot, courgette, broccoli, sweetcorn, onion and cheese with some herbs. Great for grabbing on the go or for a packed lunch. Or you could try making bacon egg cups - line a…

Clear out all the unhealthy snacks - if they're not there, you can't be tempted by them. Set up healthy snacks that are ready to grab - veg sticks and houmous, fresh fruit, nuts - and make sure they're all packaged up in individual portions. Take up baking - there are plenty of healthy bakable snacks you can make that will…

I like the idea of different genres too. :)

I don't mind a book I've already read - I can always still discuss it. :)

I like slender but well toned guys - thing Ryan Gosling - yummy! Women I like feminine curves - think Marilyn Monro, Diana Dors, Christina Hendriks, Kate Winslet, Catherine Zeta-Jones. :)

The Night Circus is great. :)

Avid reader and crafter, I love to crochet and cross stitch, and also design cross stitch charts.

I was right - Button arrived early on 10th October - our 2nd little boy who we have named Josh. :)

Count me in! :)

I just had my second son by c-section 3 weeks ago and am looking to shed 4.5 stones. I'm in Northumberland.

I had my second son, Joshua, by c-section on 10.10.13 and starting Monday 4.11.13, Operation Yummy Mummy begins! I'm in Northumberland and have 4.5 st to shed...
