I have a degree in education. I want to work in a special school and eventually become a counsellor or therapist, or maybe an educational psychologist. But right now I can't seem to find anything. Every job I've applied for, I've not even got a response. Sucks, but that's just the way the world works. I currently earn less…

Everyone says I'm lucky, but I don't feel it! I don't enjoy my job (but who does right?!) and it's quite a lonely time being at home when everyone (my boyfriend, namely) is at work. We're like passing ships in the night! And it doesn't help that I don't get paid very well, or the people I work for aren't very nice. But…

Basically I'm looking for things I can do on my own while everyone else is at work. I don't want to veg out in front of the tv all day and cleaning my 2 bedrroom flat only takes up so much of my time. I've started exercising with my mum so there's no need for me to do any in the day. I am "off" every single day, so I'm…

Thanks for all the advice. Used the Scooby calculator, and it says I should be on more like 1600 calories, so I am going to do that. As for cutting out things, I am not going to cut them out altogether, just cut down on them. Especially sweets (I have a ridiculous sweet tooth), and carbs like crisps. I might just do the…

Totally agree. I'm (now) 182lbs and I have been sticking to between 1000-1200 calories, and if I feel hungry I might go over this, but I try not to go over any more than about 1400 calories. I never let myself feel hungry, and on 1000, I don't ever feel hungry. And it's paying off! Just hit the 1 stone mark!

My boyfriend is one of those people who eats like a horse and still stays skinny, so he doesn't have to lose weight, but he has been supportive. We've been together for nearly 5 years, so he's seen my weight go up and down (and up again...) and he's said that he loves me and tells me that I am beautiflu no matter what, but…

Just bought myself a rope (£1.49... bargain!) Just did about 80 jumps and already out of breath! Deffinately going to keep at it though. Easy and inexpensive way to get fit.

Hi, I just have the basic sky (21.50 a month) and I have it, but it isn't on basic freeview. Just came across it today so I am recording everything I think will help (just rcording Jillian's Ripped in 30 at the minute)

Hiya, I'm restarting my weight loss again. Life has just got in the way the past couple of months and I have gone back up to pretty much my starting weight (196 lbs) I want to be 154 lbs before my graduation in July, but my short term goal is at least a stone (14 lbs) by my 21st in December. I know I can do it, and I know…

5'3 190lbs UK size 16/18 I want to be a 10/12

There are a few outfits that I want to be able to wear when I reach my goal weight. first, there is this lovely black dress with floral detail on it that my boyfriend has bought me for our anniversary. It's S/M size, so I need to get slimmer before I can wear it (he bought it in a smaller size on purpose). I also want to…

I've done a similar thing. I saw this dress that I liked, so as an anniversary present, my boyfriend bought it for me... but he bought it in S/M (rather than M/L or L/XL which I usually wear). It's my "inspiration dress" for me to lose weight. I will hopefully be able to wear it for Christmas (or possibly before...fingers…

Wow. You look awesome! I am a size 18 at the moment and I can NOT wait until I can buy a smaller size! Definitely inspirational.

My goal weight is for October, before I go back to University for my final year... but my Ultimate goal would be 140lbs, putting me in the healthy weight category for my height... I would like to reach that by Graduation (July 2013)

Done it! Not easy, I can tell you, but not as hard as I thought. I thought that I was going to have to stop running, but I managed to push through and did all of the running (and all of the walking) I can definitely feel it in my legs. Ooft!

i'm totally in! 5ft 4in and ready to lose a total of 41lbs... but 10 for this month would be amazing.

I don't diet... I calorie count. I've not said to myself "no, you can't eat that"... I am more thinking "Do you REALLY want that?"... If I really want it, I have it. It makes my weight loss a whole lot more enjoyable. So far, I haven't had many sweet things, despite my ridiculous sweet tooth, and I am really enjoying what…

SW = Start weight CW = current weight GW= goal weight Hope that helps!

Hi, I'm 20 5'4 SW: 202 CW: 196 GW: 161 Feel free to add me!

I'm in, but I can't get pictures up because I haven't taken them yet. Will get them up asap. So just to be clear, 24 hours of workouts throughout June (just under an hour a day) Yes?

I've just measured myself again and again (it was coming up between 5ft3in and 5ft5in)...and I am actually 5ft4in

Just bumping up my post... seeing if anyone is in a similar situation. I have reassessed my goal and put myself at a goal of 161lbs... which means I have to lose a total of 41lbs... meaning I have 35 left to lose, putting me at a 2lb/week loss... a little more achievable but still impressive!

My boyfriend is great. Yes, he does sometimes poke fun at me for being overweight, but I know that he doesn't really mean it. He's said a number of times that he loves me no matter what size I am. But I know he secretly wouldn't mind me being smaller (not so secretly, actually, as he said yesterday that he would like to be…

Started the 30 DS a couple of days ago. That's me in the picture... Started at 202lbs (now at 196lbs after a week) Waist: 39in Bust: 42in Hips: 43in Thighs: 25in

Although I've never got caught (very close on several occasions), I love the fact someone else calls it "gardening"!

Thanks for the advice!

Awh, thanks! I just want to be a bit smaller, that's all. I want to not have to buy "plus size" clothes (I am a size 18 at the moment, and I was creeping up to a 20). I want to be able to get up the stairs without being out of breath! I don't strive to be a bikini model in a size 8. I just want to look in the mirror and…

Oh yeah, I know it's a lot to strive for, don't worry I have already thought about that so you aren't putting a downer on anything. I would love to be 48lbs gone for October, but if I don't reach that I will be fine... as long as I lose weight every time. I'll mentally prepare myself to be closer to the 170 mark, though :)…

We're close (ish!) Age: 20 5ft 3in SW: 202lbs CW: 196lbs GW: 154lbs Jillian 30DS and 45min Zumba DVD

Thank you. Yeah, that's all I am doing it for really. To make myself feel better about myself. My boyfriend is always going "Don't be doing this for me, you're beautiful no matter what", and although that is lovely, I assure him it REALLY is NOT for him! It's for me! Even after just a week I am feeling a lot less tired and…
