I was told to try soy sauce once as it's salty and is a liquid... I tried it and personally didn't like it, as it was too strong and only the odd piece got some on it, but maybe if you had it in a diffuser spray bottle....?! Just a thought!

Maybe you need a little more variety... Some days you are eating up to 12 portions of fruit and veg... I have been told that too much fruit and veg can upset your system, but I don't know how true this is. I am around 6 portions a day...

This chart has really helped me....! http://www.naturopathyworks.com/pages/cravings.php

For me, everytime I have 'junk food' my body plays up now. It never used to because I had normalised it so much. But now, I get stomach cramps and indigestion etc if I have a 'bad day'. I can't really judge without seeing your diary, but maybe you need to keep junk food to one or 2 days a week, and just know you're going…

This is interesting... I also have PCOS and sometimes I swear the scales have a mind of their own! I can do all the right things, the right ways and be heading in the right direction, and then it goes in complete reverse! Maybe it's my body and stupid PCOS rather than the scales...!

Well, I'm in the UK, so we might not have one for a few years....! lol Just gives you extra time then ;)

I'm in :) yaay!!

Hmmm... according to this I should be eating around 950 calories a day and losing less than I am... I'm not convinced there is a formula for this kind of thing as everyone is so different and each body is different... Maybe it's just my body that's weird!

^ tell me about it! I remember when I first joined there was a post saying how expensive it was to eat healthily and everyone was disagreeing and I thought I was just going mad! Especially with shops like Iceland close by, where you can get a pizza for £1... spending 40 times that on fruit and veg a week has made my bank…

Am I missing something? She started at 176lbs and is now 14lbs away from 129, meaning she is 143.... That's a loss of 33lbs.....?! Not that that's bad, that's amazing, just not what people are saying....

Age is just a number and all that; it's about your maturity level and they're the ones being immature in this situation, so I don't think they're in a position to judge! Good luck with the pregnancy!

Wow, that's really useful, thanks!!

Also, if you did make the choice to cut it out, then cold turkey may not be the way to go.... If you're worried about content; don't be. Coffee has next to nothing calories and fat. Just be careful of any milk/cream/sugar you add in, but at least you get your caffeine hit even with just black coffee!

Any idea why? Just won't taste good?! Interesting!!

Thanks both- didn't think of generic aerobics- I've always searched for step and the lowest is 6-8inch, so that would be majorly cheating!! Definitely get a wii fit riser, they make a difference, but obv not as much as a larger step... Mine can be a bit wobbly, but it's meant to be the best one on the market- I did a lot…

Thanks! I knew what I meant, but just don't know all the names of equipment!

At my local gym, there's a machine which is like a bike for your arms... not sure what it's called or how 'cardio' it is... I know it helped build up my arm muscles too.... How about lying on your back and cycling your legs? No pressure on your feet, but same kind of movement.... Hope you get better soon!

I'm also having the same worry... I love the idea and I'm a real gadget type person... It's just the price that puts me off. Other than syncing, what's so good about this over other pedometers?! Saying that, I have just added it as a treat when I reach my first target, which I am nearly half way towards!!

I have recently turned to smoothies too - and they're so much more filling!! Similar recipes as the ones above... Though citrus doesn't bode well- comes out too bitty for me! Thanks for the website- I shall be favouriting that!

Amazing job! That determination sure is paying off :)

Wow, amazing progress, well done!

Congratulations! You started at about where I did, so this is a great inspiration to me! Got to say, I love your new hair too- really suits you!

Congratulations! Bet it feels good to be able to run that 5K too!

Great work, well done! You should be proud :)

Awesome! Congratulations :)

Here's some of my faves.Just be careful of sugar content... Some people will say to add veggies like baby spinach, but whenever I go to buy some, the supermarket never has any! There is a carrot one in there though... Orange and mango orange mango and apple apple and mango strawberries and kiwi and apple strawberries and…

Non scale victory :)

Thanks! I'll see if there are any stockists close... I'm scared of overestimating on purpose as I can 'get away with it' if you know what I mean...

Ok, so after posting that I would be lost without them, my scales have now broken!! Any tips on new ones?!

Wow this is absolutely brilliant! And great that you are sharing too. You should be super proud of yourself! Keep up the good work :)
