I need a kick up the backside so this would be ace

I'm naturally round faced, sort of like a potato but here's my before and after shots so far (face wise) so let me know if you think mine has changed? Before (15st 6lbs) After (12st 11lbs)

Pizza is a fruit by their logic. Wow I thought the UK government had issues, I feel for you guys in the US with those jokers running your country! I love the ketchup is a smoothie comment. This thread is comedy!

I've just come across the Insanity workout today and I'm debating giving it ago. Do you need at least a basic level of fitness first? I've not even made it to Level 3 of Shred yet so not sure whether I should get myself a little fitter before thinking about doing this?

This is actually hilarious! I love it! Count me in! I will be hot non zombie fodder!

it's one of my biggest fears to be honest

Is it too late for me to join as I've only just seen this? Losing 10lbs this month will get me out of the 13st and into the 12s which I'm dying to get to!

I'm in recovery at the moment. Don't know if I will ever be able to say I'm recovered but I'm definitely on a good path now

I weigh in on a Friday so generally that is my "cheat day" however like someone else mentioned, it's a lifestyle change. I find that being good all through the week and having a bit of something naughty at the weekend is really working for me. My issue before is that every day was a cheat day!

tip is to eat before you go out if you can. Crudites are a good way of keeping you occupied and try and keep the pastry based ones to a minimum.

it depends entirely on your lifestyle. If you go to bed at say, 8pm, then yes it is as your body is relaxing and shutting down ready for sleep so will not be burning calories as a raised rate (you still burn calories even when you're asleep. If you don't go to bed until 2am then it won't have a massive effect.

wow well done, what a massive difference! Also love the top in your after pic!

Thanks guys, it's definitely something to bear in mind that I will be able to have more calories when I'm maintaining. I'm hoping to be at goal by the end of the year - does anyone think that's unrealistic?

I too have a Facebook page set up to help me with my weight loss called Shrinking Violet. It started off about me but gradually other people who want to lose weight have joined in so it's now like a little family. If you're interested in either supporting me or any of the people who follow me on there, or even getting a…

I was bulimic since I was 14 (I'm 25 now) and it's really not a nice way to go. Your teeth rot (I have a mouthful of fillings), you get fat once you stop (my metabolism is goosed) and you're all round miserable. It's hard and I've learned that there are certain foods that will trigger this feeling so I've trained myself…

I'm going to start this on the 1st April so I get a full 30 days/month at it (I'm well aware starting now would still do that) and I'm determined to do it everyday, no matter how sore I get! I have done it before and Level One made me want to die, I think I gave up after about 2 days. This time I want it to be different.…

ha ha I know you weren't! You can view it online on youtube. Naughty but it is on there if you want to watch it before you buy ;)

I'm from the UK so I'm guessing I won't have it? I have Virgin Media which is cable over here

What's Exercise on Demand? I'm guessing the fact I've no idea what it is means I don't have it but I'm a little stupid when it comes to technology!

The 30 day shred is a 20 minute sort of circuit training programme which mixes strength and cardio. This video gives you a rough idea of what it's like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuJcM93v9AY . There are some moves that can be modified so hopefully you'll be able to do some of it I woke up this morning and thought, I…

wow who knew there was so much in figs?! Thanks guys, the tracker on My Fitness Pal may also have something to do with it so I will keep an eye on labels too.

Hope you don't mind me joining in! I started with My Fitness Pal last week and today was my first weigh in - 4lbs off! Woohoo!

Hi everyone, I started this last week and I've already lost 4lbs so you can definitely count me int this challenge!
