Im currently 168lbs I want to be about 120lbs

I saw a picture on FB of me when we were at a family meal and when I saw me i was absolutely horrified, I knew I had put on weight but didn't think it was that much until I saw the photo. I got very upset about it and found the picture of me at my sisters wedding where I was at my best. So I keep the picture on some of my…

I struggle on the weekend sometimes, I try to find things to do in the day so I'm not heading to the cupboard every 5 mins. I wouldn't say I stuff my face full of crap all weekend but I do have a treat on a Saturday.

Yea I get this feeling as well after my workout I just sip water with maybe a little dash of squash in, but usually it goes after Ive showered and relaxed.

I set my alarm for 4:30am and get up between 4:30am and 4:45am and as soon as the alarm goes off I have to have that little voice inside my head push me to get out and get ready for my workout.

I got an armband off ebay it's quite good actually. Was quite cheap as well

I prefer AM workouts because I'm set for the day, and haven't got to think when I finish work I've got to exercise. But sometimes the morning can be a struggle especially when we have our friend round usually on a Monday night because he doesn't understand that I have a job to go to and I need to get up and exercise he…

Again it's the past you can't change that day can you do you just need to carry on as you normally would, we all have our bad days I did today I feel crap for it but what can I do what's done is done I've just got to start again tomorrow!

Sometimes I play the rocky soundtrack, but usually it's a mixture of whats on my iPod Rock, Metal, Indie

Ah yes I've just found it I'll check it out see what it's like

I was full of confidence before my weight gain (due to losing job and getting depressed over work etc). But I lost nearly all my confidence in the bedroom department. I also find that certain people I know look down on me as if I'm nothing as well, so I'm losing weight to hopefully get my confidence back, so things will…

I would but I only ordered it today and don't think it will arrive in time.

I've just ordered the DVD hope I'm going to be ok lol

I only check once a month as well, also use a tape measure to check my measurements more than go on the scale because I have a lot of muscle so I may have lost a couple of inches around my waist but gained a few pounds as well!

Fruit and fibre cereal with a black tea!

I do 30-45 mins 4 days a week and then I do a shorter session of upto 30 mins 2 days a week

I think I was an average child you know the usual bit of puppy fat which soon went as I hit my teens!! The only reason I can think why I've put on weight was when I lost my job 5 years ago and things just went downhill from there so I let myself go a bit, it's only been the last 2 years where things are getting back on…

If I'm exercising in the morning then I will eat after exercising If I'm exercising after work I'll have a piece of fruit at about 3pm and then exercise about 4:30pm

Tuna and cucumber Mackerel and cucumber Ham and tomato sometimes

I don't weigh myself I measure myself every month the week after my time of month so it gives chance for the bloating to settle

I tried to do this and when I had a look i got really upset because I didn't think I looked like that. I heard it was great for motivation but I just got upset and angry at the time that I let myself get like thats. Do I want to try and do it again and do monthly pictures to check my progress hmmmm I'm in 2 minds at the…

I'm similar, get up about 4:45 get in workout clothes feed the animals and then start my workout, which I do my Hannah Waterman exercise DVD on Mondays and Wednesdays and then do the new Davina UltimateTarget on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday! But Tuesday and Thursdays aren't big sessions really compared to the…

I do this as well, I also by fresh carrots to snack on in the day and i always try and get some salad in somewhere in the day.

I used to do evening workouts but sometimes I was just too tired after work, so I switched to morning workouts which I do struggle to get up to sometimes! Especially towards the end of the week!

I'm a morning person mostly, I find if I'm going to work out in the morning I have to set my mind to it the evening before, and set my alarm, but when I wake up it's a case of not thinking about getting up it's JUST get up and do it!

I'm the same, but I don't actually let anyone watch me exercise, I go in the spare room and do my exercise while my other half stays downstairs or I'll exercise downstairs and he will be upstairs he's quite good like that, he's not bothered about watching me exercise but because I'm lacking so much confidence I won't let…

I've got this on my iPhone aswell haven't started using it yet, I think because of the weather being awful at the moment it's putting me off!!

The profile picture is what I used to be like I'm like 3 stone heavier now nearly, I use that picture so I have an aim of what i want to be like again.

Thanks, thats the thing I really want to do it, my profile picture is what size I want to be again, I use this picture for all my profiles with FB etc, so when I look at it I think yes thats what I want to achieve again.

Wow thats an awesome idea!
