Thank you. I know that's likely but I'm just so impatient, haha!

I'm in the UK. Though we have free health care it means we have to pay for things like nutritionists :)

I'm not, see my above post. I'm small framed so I'm actually overweight. Besides, before I got my office job and started eating lots of cakes I was actually at around 110-115 lbs pretty consistently and I was fit, toned and slim. It seems more likely that this was my ideal weight and I'm simply trying to get back to that.

I'm 127, not 117. And yes, I have a small frame. So maybe 111 would be better for me, which is only 1lb above my goal weight. I also think it's rude and offending to say I'm not allowed to lose weight or complain about having difficulty losing weight just because I'm not obese. I want to look my best and that's what I'm…

Also to the two above posters, I do just mean on the scale. I've taken photos and can't visibly see any inch loss either (but no, haven't measured).

Yeah I've been thinking of going to a nutritionist actually. I might start with a personal trainer at my gym who also does nutrition (depending on if I can afford it), so that might help.

This was more of a self-indulgent rant rather than a call for critique, but I'm open to critique so I'll make my diary public. I realise I went a bit mad on ice cream recently. But it's been sunny here in the UK for the first time since September/October...so that's my excuse. Also i have 0 cooking skills. By the way I'm…

Ooh this is fun: 1. Where were you born? Epsom, Surrey 2. Where do you live at the moment? Lincoln, Lincolnshire 3. Where else have you lived? London, Berlin and a small village in Lincolnshire 4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation? Current occupation: German speaking business development Dream…

I'm on 1200 but I exercise every weekday for 40 mins - 1 hr. I don't think I'd be able to do it without my exercise as I need those exercise calories to not feel hungry. I find weekends really difficult as that's when my boyfriend comes over so I don't have time to exercise and end up going out for dinner and going over my…

#35 (?) for LOVE! But only with milk - no water.

I have a t-rex on my leg, a magpie on my ribcage, a star very low on my waist and my name in the international phonetic alphabet on the back of my neck (i'm a bit of a linguistics geek). No pictures on this computer though. Edit: just remembered i have facebook and photobucket on this computer! Here's a couple of them:…

These sunny days are very bad for my ice cream addiction.

What a great post. Has made me feel better about things after being completely discouraged by not losing anything in a week.

Wow so much information, thanks everyone! It seems to be fairly individual as to whether they work or not. I'll check out those links when I get home and will definitely go into the running shop when it's open again.

Thanks, this is really interesting. I've just done a quick google and there seem to be loads of different ones. Are there any in particular you'd recommend?

Thanks everyone for your responses and information. The local running shop that does video analysis is closed until June 6th (typical!), but as soon as it is open I will go and have a chat with them and see which shoes are best for me. I can already run 2k at a decent speed without feeling like I'm going to drop dead and…

I started my Butt Bible about a week and a half ago and it's great! I can't wait to have results like yours!

Thank you, that's great! I'll give that a try.

Hi, I'm 5'3" and need to lose just over 20 lbs, so pretty much in the same boat as you. I just started about a month ago and it's surprisingly fun!

Hi, I'm from Lincolnshire. I managed to put on over a stone in a year thanks to a desk job, lots of cake and pretty much giving up the gym. I'm now trying to get rid of it and in shape again in time for summer, or by my holiday in September at the very latest. I can't wait to fit into my clothes again!

I'm planning on getting this. I'm from the UK though and they don't sell it over here, so I'll have to wait a few weeks for it to arrive from the States before I can begin.
