15 pounds by Christmas will be hard work but is definately within your reach if you work for it. Sounds like you have a good plan with the eating and exercise, so with a little motivation I can see you doing really well :smile: Not sure I fully understand your second question though? Sounds like you are meaning you are…

Agreed - good thread. Feel free to add :)

This sounds like a great idea - good way to add goals into your weight loss journey and keep things spiced up....we all know repetition can be boring. Will add you :)

Vodka, water and squeezed lime :) You need to find a balance between drinking and social and being serious about weight loss - if you know you have a heavy night out at the weekend then maybe be extra good one day in the week? Its all about balance and moderation x

Could be asthma, never thought of that before

Oh goodness, I'm gonna call doctor in morning. I'm sure (I hope) its not serious but better to check and remove any panic / paranoia from my mind.

Thanks - maybe it could be too do with the weather / hayfever etc. I'm not feeling unwell at all apart from the pain when exercising and until it wears off......very strange.

I am far from classing myself as a runner.....but I have completed my first 5k and am wanting to work up to a 10k. Feel free to add me :)

I'm 21 :) Looks like we were temporarily hiding!

Hey, welcome :) I'm from Scotland, welcome to add me if you would like :) x

I sometimes do a paprika chicken - just chicken sweetcorn (plus any other veg) onions and fry with paprika - could add some tatties or a salad with it? Or fish and potatoes and veg - those sorts of combos!

I was away to comment on this post but then realised we are already friends :D Keep up the good work hun! Anyone else feel free to add if want - 21 year old female who logs daily :smile:

Still in :) discovered this morning I have made my weight loss goa for June challenge - so pleased!!! :smile:

I find it works - whats great is I can somehow have food/booze weekends and still lose! Weird how it works but it does

I have PF and find when I get a flare up exercise is just a no go unfortunately :( Like others have said though, leg raises and some stretching, ice and feet up for a few days often it can ease up then you may find you are able to get back to your walking and exercise.

Gideon Cross ! Partly because im finding the crossfire series a better read. And the 3rd book is out on the 4th June.....wooo!! Pre-ordered to my kindle.

Try some Bio Oil

I drink protein shakes but bought ones specificially for females - on Maxitone Sculptress weightloss protein shake atm. They are really good and I find help - just dont go drinking the high calorie ones for men or youll put on weight lol!

Fantastic!! well done :smile: :happy:

See you have mentioned that you are trying 5:2 - how you finding it? I do the 5:2 and it has started my loss again after putting on more weight. Anyway - feel free to add me if you like. And welcome :)

I just created my own exercises for Les Mills classes. If you go on their website they have info about calories burned per class

BOKWA..........sooooooooooo much fun!!!

thanks for the advice :)

Thanks! Understand everyone will have different experiences and I wont know till I try out a class at my gym.........thanks for the confidence boost though :) my stiff muscles will only be able to do what they can and will be easier with time!

Sarcasim?

Thanks everyone :) really helps! Will try out some home stuff then aim for a class soon!

Thanks so much for all the ideas!! Will try them out and see what I enjou the most :) Totally agree with some of the comments on classes though.....i could laugh if I was with someone about my lack of ability to do moves but would feel a little intimidated by the regulars

Thanks ill have a look at this site and search Sadie on you tube! Don't want to go spending money on something I wouldnt def enjoy

DO IT!! First time I went it was on my own - just went in and asked someone in the class what equipment I needed and told instructor it was my first class. It went great :) You wont regret it!
