Thanks for your reply :) That is the problem really it doesn't hurt that much at all!! it is hard to stop what I love but i know if i don't that it will mean a longer down time! Ahh it is horrible ! I guess it is good though as it does mean I am allowed to swim and spin (just seated only) My problem is i eat for an athlete…

Ignore them hun and keep going the way you are, sounds like you know what you are doing and are doing it right so don't be disheartened, keep eating right and building that muscle up :) remember when the muscle starts gaining it may slow the loss on scale down but ignore it because the more muscle you have the more…

I feel for you I really do! I have 2-3 events each month if not more, September I only had one on the 1st and then nothing until the 13th October, it really sucks and puts a downer on your motivation when you do not have an event to work towards . Try setting yourself a goal on the dates you would have done your series…

Time to purge?? hope that's just a bad choice of words

Mine is linked but it links to the previous day for some reason? Both MFP and RK have the same time and date so no idea why it happens?any ideas anybody ?? PS sorry to jump on your post with my issues! lol

You can stop eating ! You have lost 75 pounds and that is amazing!!, think how much hard work you have put in to get there! You may not have put weight back on but it WILL find you and it will go back on and FAST! Remember you put it on much faster than you can lose it too When i feel like a sweet treat i look at it and…

Up your exercise?! A 45 minute run will take your 1900 cals down to 1400 easily

Thanks for your messages TinaBaily and Kowajenn. Glad to hear all the positive feelings towards it :) I guess because my sons Father (and being his child I would have thought it would make it less hideous seeing as he got a beautiful son from it!) made me feel so badly about it that it is hard to think I will attract a man…

Bet your tats will look great :) I have been thinking about getting a silly saying or something near mine just to make me more confident about them

Happy to read this!! Go you! Wish I could feel the way you do and hopefully one day I can :) No man in my life other than my little boy :) not that I am complaining as I love my life but my self body image is a big thing for me and I find it hard to feel confident about my body around the opposite sex! silly i know! need…

Well done on getting to your goal weight! I try and fit in at least one weights session a week as i'm much the same run/bike/swim 6 days a week, I try and do a good 15-25 mins on my core each day though, I am getting toned up now and obviously looks much nicer than before and fingers crossed when I loose the last few kgs…

Thank you all for your advice! is nice to know it isn't just me! Struggling, I couldn't afford a tummy tuck even if i could bare the thought of having an op just for pure vanity! plus my stretchmarks go from above my belly right down to below my bikini line so the tummy tuck may help the skin but it would still look quite…

What a fantastic transformation !! Brilliant effort! well done

I know it seems a bit silly trying to drop weight for it but I am only 5ft4 so 64.5kg is actually too heavy for me anyway so it wont hurt at all to aim for that category and save my joints a bit of unnecessary strain!:) I will look into the book thanks for the tip :) Is very hard to taper as I have a 1/4 marathon two weeks…

I eat 2 whole eggs and 2 whites scrambled with a shot of water each morning either on extra thin grainy toast with thin spread of cottage cheese or leafy green salad, that's 29grams of protein Or I have oats (50g) made in water, with natural yoghurt (100g), protein powder (1 scoop) and 15 almonds which is a super breakfast…

Sorry ths was for Momily56, I am trying to get the hang of this blogging lark!

Don't forget that eating regularly keeps the metabolism going, its like a fire, you have to keep fueling it to keep it going as efficiently as possible.. If you feel like the fire is dulling then it probably needs more fuel.. 1200 calories is not that much at all, have you tried to change it up a little bit?, i read an…

Added :) Hopefully we can both motivate each other :) Have you read this article ? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2439971/Obese-mother-afford-gym-loses-10st-turning-house-assault-course.html It is quite motivational for the stay at home mum :) I am single mother to a five year old week on week off, I go crazy…

It is definitely not for nothing hun! An hour at the gym is a great effort! I know it is hard not to give in! I really think that doing something active just before you get home will really help.. Also perhaps have a healthy snack just as you leave work so you are not hungry when you get home? this way you can tell…

Hey Kelly Do you exercise much at all? If not I suggest trying to fit in a Half an hour walk between finishing work and getting home (or take your daughter for a walk to the park/swimming? if spending time with her is your main priority in the evenings). The endorphins from the exercise will keep you motivated and feeling…

Gosh how can you survive on under 1000 calories! Try breaking your food up into 3 small meals a day and 2-3 snacks, Aim for 2-300 calories per meal and 1-250 per snack (IE 15 Almonds are 115 calories, Bananas are around 100-140 depending on size) Not only does this get your calorie intake up to a safe level but it keeps…
