I absolutely HATED them, but decided the challenge wouldn't hurt. Im teaming mine up with sit ups. Its good because i only do it monday, wednesday and friday, so on the days between i just set myself an easy target =) Plus i do it when i get back from the gym so i dont have to worry about getting sweaty haha

I am working on increasing the calorie intake, but i dont get hungry often so its difficult. I do eat chickpeas and things but i tend to get bored of them, i might have to revamp my shopping list. I am on iron tablets aswell for anaemia so i think a doctors visit may be useful. Thanks for your help x

Im not a vegetarian, i just don't eat much meat. I've had a look at protein stuff but its all so expensive =/

I get at least 8 hours sleep each night. The only medical condition i have is asthma, and i've just been put back on the preventer inhaler but i checked the box and it doesn't mention fatigue. I'm 5"5, weigh 137 pounds, I go to the gym 5 or 6 times a week and do about 20 mins on the elliptical and 20 mins on the cycle…

I started eating more for breakfast. Weetabix with lactose free milk and a banana? Plenty to keep you going for a while, then i have cereal bars, raisins and random snacks throughout the day.

To eat more food, i find it a struggle to eat over 1000 calories. Im adding in lots of healthy snacks and a bigger breakfast =)

I had an annoying incident. I tried on a pair of UK size 10 skinny jeans and they fitted perfectly (wearing them today haha), about a month later i went back and bought a pair of bootcut jeans from the same shop and exact same range, i wanted them to be a little looser so bought a size 12.. they're REALLY tight on me.. im…

When i buy pizza i cut it up into about 6 slices before i freeze it, then just cook the one slice with some salad and sweetcorn or other healthy bits. That way i get the pizza aswell as a reasonably balanced meal x

I recommend chick peas, they're high in protein and fiber. And they're a good source of slow burning carbs, so they keep me going for a while. I use them as a replacement for meat in curries, and they taste great with mediterranean food x

Haha I tend to get a tad peeved off about incorrect use of grammar and spelling too =) (Too being another word spell wrongly. You can't be 'to tired'... YOU MISSED AN O!)

Have you tried bio oil? It decreases the appearance of stretch marks and scars. From personal experience i can definitely say it works =)

If you want a healthy low fat yoghurt that tastes yummy try this: http://www.oetker.co.uk/oetker_uk/html/default/debi-7m2mbd.en.html Its a fat free strawberry one, its reasonably cheap and tastes delicious. I also used to use it to make breakfast smoothies with banana and whatever fruit i had lying around. HIGHLY…

Another good one is jaffa cakes actually, they come in the little packs of 3 so you can't overindulge

I found the best way for me was to give up chocolate bars, and after about a week i stopped craving them. Try cereal bars with chocolate (i like cadburys chocolate and raisin brunchbars) and treat yourself to a low calorie hot chocolate each day (cadburys highlights has only 40 calories per mug). This deals with the sweet…

Good luck x

Im at uni and realised its a lot easier to eat healthy now, cause if i dont buy unhealthy food i cant eat it. Does your uni have a gym? If so student memberships tend to be stupidly cheap =)

Haha it wouldnt suprise me if i had another one next week. Plus some of them last about 2 days and others up to about 3 weeks! And then i can go 2 months without any.. I have been to the doctors about it so at least i know there's no underlying problem. It's just my implant confusing my body haha

Right.. well im going to head off to the shops and stock up on some more food (im out of my precious bananas). I think i discovered where some of that weight may come from.. my monthly friend has just arrived for the 3rd time in 4 weeks.. I thought periods were meant to come every 28 days haha

I can't do swimming because there isn't a swimming pool near me at uni. But i was planning on doing cycling and swimming when i go home to see my boyfriend. Im thinking off starting up some of the free gym classes so i get a bit more variety with my exercise. And instead of having tuesday off from the gym (i have lectures…

I like grilled chicken breast with coriander pesto rubbed into it

Haha i can't buy jeans for inspiration, i have big hips so i dont know if its physically possibly for me to fit into anything smaller. Damn the childbearing hips =(

Haha i don't own scales for this exact reason. I use the one at the gym cause it gives me a little print off with my height, weight, BMI etc and the date. I'm only weighing myself every 2 or 3 weeks, but i will be investing in a tape measure x

I've been doing a low HR workout on the cycling machine, then cardio on the elliptical. I have water wth me all the time, im definitely drink enough. My clothes dont feel any looser and i dont look any different. I'm on the settings to lose 1 pound per week, and i eat a large breakfast, have healthy snacks throughout the…

I love listening to system of a down when im working out.. kinda speeds me up a bit =)

I dont have a plan for the week, but tonights meal will be grilled chicken, kidney beans, homemade salsa and steamed brocolli =)

I tend to eat potatoes, but once again i don't think i eat enough of them. I've never eaten loads, but i always used to eat the bad types of food, so i was undereating but getting loads of calories... not so good. I don't like fruit juice, but i have been treating myself to 1 hot chocolate each evening. I might have to…

This is all the kinda stuff im already eating, haha im actually eating a yoghurt as we speak. I think i'm just going to have to up my portion sizes. Im trying to lose weight, but i want to lose weight at a moderate pace and get fitter and toned in the process, so i really want to make sure i eat enough calories. I might…

I know im a few days late, but I'm going to give up using the lift in my flat at least 1 time a day and take the stairs

I just watched your video and it was amazing, you should be extremely proud of what you've achieved. Thanks for sharing it x

I have the contraceptive implant- http://www.implanon.com/ I used to be on the pill and found i did put on weight, however with this there have been no side effects, i get less period pain, and it lasts for 3 years. I'd greatly recommend it!
