if you cant stop once you open try not having anything in at home, just buy the odd bottle as you want it. You will soon start to have more dry nights. also maybe try switching to mini bottles so you still get your kick not as much or switch drinks, I find pear cidre works for me as I can only manage one individual bottle…

Wow, wow, wow

a 22lb loss is my plan and I currently am at 3lb down. I have been lower and then gone up again!
-
I would recommend pilates too. For years I have used the wrong muscles instead of core (mainly hip flexors) and now I am paying the price with pain and also money needed to pay for physiotherapy. But I am getting better!
-
This is about real life after all. One day blow out once a year or even a few times a year (just a few) is not going to sabotage your weight loss and will help you to remember why you normally track too
-
weight loss so quick and you can see great definition in the muscles too. Well done. What type of diet did you follow?
-
the fact that the book is very badly written is one thing but if you read it with a different mind set..(look at the messages it sends) then it is awful. the whole premise is based round a damaged man with control issues that a woman has to bear with in order to help him despite the fact that he is controlling and uses…
-
no idea re the calories but I would suggest eating as clean as possible and ensuring that you get food stuff that is nutrient rich and possible calcium rich too to help with the healing process, while also enjoying a little (not too much ) of what you really fancy as you are in for a boring and challenging time while you…

Hi, I am newly diagnosed with GORD (aka GERD but in uk) have you any diet advise please as I read conflicting things as to what is ok and what is not

Hi, I am 44 too and looking to lose about 22-30 lb but pretty bad at this! Kids grown up as I had them young and work in education

Often read, (but not tried) that before any race as a novice, you don't need to have run quite the full distance beforehand as adrenalin will carry you the extra on the day. So if you can get up to running 8k a few times you will easily do the 10 on the day.

plenty of free diet plans out there if you are looking for something to break habits and move on. I like http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/alt/diet/detox/plan.htm?utm_expid=2678559-51.8w4-kEUNQxWONaYqHjXIsQ.1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.co.uk%2F as a clean diet plan, very sensible too
-
not sure that you would want to lose any muscle but there are various forms of exercise that change the look but this is long term and not a quick fix. Ballet, pilates and yoga known for a lean but strong look.
-
I think strong lifts x5 is a really nice programme to start with and you very quickly start to lift heavily compared to your first starting point. Easy to follow too and get form sorted. Once you have had a taste of this you could then work out your next steps. If a personal trainer is out of the question it might be worth…

speak to your doc and get their qualified advice as everyone will tell you different on here however there are medical approved very low calories diets for people who are obese and if you feel ok plus are still losing then I would go with you what your body says. Once your weight loss starts to slow or stop or you start…

Hello, I am 44 with two grown up sons (I started early) and I work with older teenagers and adults who did not achieve standard uk grades in English and Maths at school so need to continue with their education so similar to you, just with older ones. I am 146 and trying to get to 133 but not that good at this!
-
yes it is quite normal though only if you are not eating enough to fuel your body (as in too low even taking into account you are trying to lose weight) It happened to me when I tried the 5:2 diet on the very low cal days though plenty of others have used that diet and been fine
-
HI Kim, that sounds great. Though I am after losing weight, really it is more about wanting to be fitter and healthier, able to run, swim, lift or whatever I feel like really. I expect that if I can get fitter then the weight loss will come anyway (as long as I eat at a deficit of course)
-
If I have been eating out of the ordinary, like a holiday, or it is certain times of the month then a wait a few days from when things are back to normal and then only log if it looks like the gain is here to stay
-
just because we can!!! seriously it is what we grew up with (despite me being one when we technically switched to decimalisation)and because of that the weights mean something in our heads!! e.g for me I know that 11 stone is far too much, 10 stone a little too much and 9 stone where I would love to be. Babies now come in…

Not cried but have had a rush of emotions on odd occasions. Shbam does it to me and near the end I get the urge to grin like a Cheshire cat and even giggle.I look most strange lol. First time I ran for twenty mins without stopping I was close to crying with joy
-
Wow you look so good at all those weights. At 5"3.5 I have a very distinct pot belly at 146 lb where I currently am and I can't see it totally going by 139! I am aiming for 133 being in my 40s and not wanting too many facial wrinkles lol

Auto correct! Should say have fun. Not sure how that turned into sunburned
-
No reason why Christmas dinner can't be healthy. Turkey is pretty lean and fill up on veg and just a couple of roasts. Eat light but delicious snacks for breakfast and supper. A splurge one day won't undo your good work but depriving yourself can lead to you eventually falling off the wagon. Have sunburned sensible is what…
-
prawns stir fried (using one cal spray ) with various quick cook veg, e.g peppers, carrots, broccoli (whatever veg is in the fridge and safe to eat pretty raw and then add or make a flavouring, e.g. fresh garlic, with tomato sauce and soy (pretty low cal and not over on the sugar due to small amounts). I also eat it with…

whilst weighing daily would give you very varying results you do need some form of marker so that you can see if what you are doing is right for you and is working. If it isn't then you can review and change things! Fortnightly would be far enough apart to not make it obsessive but close enough to measure if something is…
-
give new life to products about to reach their use by dates e.g use veg that is close to going off to make a huge pan of soup and then divide and save in small containers in the freezer. that way you can have soup with all the goodness for ages!. Can do the same with meat that is close to being past usable by making stews…

I did it recently but to help gallbladder issues and it certainly did that though I did not lose any weight. the thing that worked best for me was preparation so that there was always something nice to eat that I did not need to do much too. Breakfasts were smoothies made with pre bought fruit (blue berries and chopped…

depends on your definition of detox though!. No to all the quack quick fixes but if your diet is heavy in processed foods, too much alcohol or other damaging 'food' products, then by switching to a clearer diet you are certainly doing your body a favour and not over taxing its systems therefore it can run the normal detox…
