THIS! I was stuck for FIVE weeks, no change... Increased my workouts, no difference. So I increased my calories from 1200 to 1700... And lost 0.6kg (almost 1 and a half pounds) after just FIVE DAYS!!

No excuses? Great attitude - and trust me, attitude is half the battle!! Do this:

So true! You can do a whole host of things right there in the privacy of your own home... And regular exercise will improve your skin dramatically! Something I often see on this forum: "You can have results or you can have excuses. You can't have both"

B'Elanna Torres!!

AMAZING! I live in SouthAfrica and dream of doing Kili one day! So happy for you!

Holy crap, that's amazing!!

Lol, you sound exactly like me. I'm from South Africa and will happily eat goat, chicken heads and feet, tripe, crocodile, shark, fish head soup... But vegetables? Er... Unless it's a potato chip or French fry, I'm not interested. What has helped me enormously is that I don't see this as a diet, but rather a lifestyle. I…

I'm five foot nothing, my husband is 5'10". My ex was 6'8". I once dated a guy who was 7'02". It has never bothered me in the slightest. Go on the date, you might find that you like him. Oh, I'm a trekkie (as if the name didn't give it away already) and I'd never force my husband to watch Star Trek with me... But lately, I…

Wow! Well done!! You look great!

Wearing my size 34 Levi's!! Yeah, I know, they vanity size but it feels soooo good not to wear granny clothes!

I think it depends on how tall you are. I'd say on someone 5'3" and under, it's noticeable after 15lbs, 5'4" - 5'8" it's noticeable after 20lbs, any taller probably only after 30 lbs. I also think how much you have to lose has a lot to do with it...

Oh, hell yes!

I frequently do the former and would happily do the latter but it freaks out my husband when I go too trekkie! I have not/never: Been to a Star Trek convention (but changing this in August next year!) Watched an more than one episode of Dr Who Seen the point of Star Wars Dated a man who speaks more Klingon than I do

Awesome job! Well done!

THIS!!! I'm 154cm (5ft) and usually I love being short... Except when it comes to that extra bite of chocolate or when I need to reach something. And I *hate* being called "cute". Ugh.

Michael Flynn in Cara McKenna's WIlling Victim. Yeah, I read politically incorrect smut... I would KILL to meet a man like him in real life. Move over, Christian Grey!

I hate mornings, but I work out from 06h15 to 07h15, Mondays to Fridays. Like a previous poster mentioned, when I plan an afternoon or evening workout, it never seems to happen. Too easy to make excuses! And people please... What's this I hear about morning workouts energising you? Clearly I'm doing something wrong!!

Oh, crap! The hubs has just reminded me of two more: Billy Zane circa 1997 and Kelly Slater... Drooooool...

Bruce Willis or Jason Statham. Or even Vin Diesel. I have a thing for guys with big arms, stubble and a "take-no-*kitten*" attitude! Oooooh! Forgot Robert Downey Jr... How could I?!

What an amazing difference!! Congratulations!

You look so hot in that bikini! Rock it!

Noooooooooo! Make it go away!!! Please?

My mother was South African My dad is English (born in Bristol to an English father and an Irish mother!) I live in South Africa

That is awesome!! Well done!!

Every Monday and Friday after breakfast, at gym, wearing workout clothes (but no shoes) with my trainer hovering over me.

Wow, thanks so much for this topic! I actually came online this morning to post something similar. I'm very new to running and fitness and only started gym a month ago. My personal trainer is very keen to get me started on running but I find that I am really, really struggling to get out of my head! Last week I could run…

Have had Skype for about 5 years. Used to use it for about 3-4 hours a day (long distance relationship). Now we're married and finally living together, so I only use it to chat to my brother in New Zealand and my friends in the States, probably less than 4 hours a month.

South Africa. :)

OMG!! You posted this and I only see it now?? Congratulations, Fran!! You look super hot! People, I need to add that this girl has rock hard ABS!! I gym with her at 06h15 every morning... And she sometimes goes back in the afternoon too! Now THAT'S dedication! Congrats again, Fran - I'm so super proud of you!!

Where do you play? Online. What do you read? I read absolutely anything and everything I can lay my hands on, from prize-winning works of literature to smut. How do you spend your money? I have an 18 year old brother. He spends it for me. What do you drink? I don't drink alcohol, so I mostly drink Sprite Zero. Occasionally…
