I've sent you a friend request. I live in New Zealand. I'm 41, mum to two children and I work part time. Working to be stronger, fitter and leaner, in that order of priority. If anyone else wants to add me as a friend, that would be great too.

Maybe you didn't "realise" because you weren't ready to change, but now you are and that's all good. Now you have the desire and motivation to change things, because you are ready.

I'm a bit late to the party, but sent you a friend request.

Does your gym have group fitness classes? I haven't done any for ages, but I have found in the past that they are loads of fun and that in turn motivates me (probably time I gave them a go again!). Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Sometimes when I don't feel like working out, I decide I'll just go for a walk…

I'm down 1.4kg, which isn't as much as I was aiming for, but I haven't been quite as strict as I planned, about logging and eating well and a loss is a loss. My biggest success is that I am progressing with C25K and nearly finished week 3. I've had a couple of days where I just see how long I can run for and I'm able to…
-
Awesome! I'm doing C25K, and after starting it many times, I actually feel like I will stick it out this time - started week 3 today and I doubted I could do it due to the heat, but I pushed on and I did it!!! Glad I didn't wait until later in the day, it's getting hotter.

If I'm at home, I spray a ramekin with canola oil spray, then line it with ham, then break an egg into it and bake (sometimes I add a little grated cheese if I'm really hungry/been super active), and make a salad or just chop up bits of veg. Asparagus (or other green veg if asparagus isn't in season - broccoli is good)…
-
Most days I have Special K with skim milk and fresh blueberries. Oh and a cup of coffee.

How about having something healthy (fruit with some nuts for protein?), along with a glass of water, then if you want the less healthy option have a small amount - one biscuit for example. I struggle too but we can find something that works. For me, I'm noticing that my breakfast and lunch meals are pretty good most days…

Hi, I'm from Ashburton, New Zealand. Married with two children who are primary school age. I've gotten into really bad habits and gained 10kg in the past year and a half when I really intended to lose some. I've decided that 2015 is the year I'm going to do some of the things I've talked about for the past few years, and…
-
Hope you have a smooth recovery.
-
AshleyNicole did you repeat any weeks, or push through it?
-
How is it going LeeAnnW23? I gave up on my first day of week 2, on Saturday because it was far too hot. I've just completed it this evening :)
-
Hope you get a chance to do it today. After saying I was going to do week 2 day one, the ap was still on week 1 and I forgot to change it. Not a big deal, and I realised early on, so pushed myself to run a bit faster.
-
Sounds like a success story, to me. A success story with more chapters being written
-
Wow, you have done so well.
-
I'm doing it too. I've finished week one and have to say, I struggled with the last couple of runs, each day - I could walk for hours but running is tough. I was debating whether to repeat week one or progress to week 2 but I've decided I will move on to week 2 and push through day one. I've been going in the evenings,…

Challenge Start weight 87.3 kg (192lb) 8 January weight 86.2kg (190lb) That's 1.1kg down (or 2lb), so I'm happy with that. My focus has been on making sure I log what I'm eating and I have, every day except Sunday. Even when I stay within my calories, some of my food choices are poor; I'm not feeling particularly motivated…

Wow, great work. That must have taken quite some time, to collate the starting weights etc, thank you!

Same here, in NZ.

I agree it is confusing. I have decided that I have to find what works for me and leaves me feeling healthy and happy - that's more fruit, veg, and less processed food; I don't feel good if I eat large quantities of meat, and in fact would happily not eat it very often, but when cooking for the rest of the family I am not…

Deep down, I know the changes I need to make, to be successful: 1. alcohol is a treat, for special occasions (and sometimes at the weekend) 2. Just because hubby is sitting on the couch eating icecream or potato chips, I DO NOT have to join him! 3. Exercise - when I get in the habit of exercising regularly I enjoy it,…
