thanks for the input - i'm really excited about starting the dvd when it arrives. I love the biggest loser and how 'nasty' she is when she's training people. She's like a drill sgt. Hopefully I will lose a few inches before the end of the 30 days, just in time for all the pre chrismas parties.

i've burned in excess of 1500 cals running - either a half marathon or a trail run of approx 10 miles before - Its quite high intensity so it does burn alot of calories. I've never played golf but I would not class golf as a vigorous exercise so the calories you've burned seem ok to me. To get an accurate calorie burn is…

i've tried to increase protein and reduce carbs for the last few days but its really hard and i feel tired all the time. I think my body needs carbs. I think that I will try and stick to the correct calories for each day and see how that works out. Losing is losing after all no matter how its done. thanks for the tips…

very funny - I enjoyed reading this.

thank you all for your advice, think i'm going to try reduce carbs as i have them with every meal and up my protein so i can build some much needed muscle. I'm going to try and do some basic strength exercises daily too to complement the running thanks again.

thats a great challenge and hopefully achievable - i'd like to join you too.

Hi Junebug I have a Ruby heart rate monitor watch ( i never use the chest band anymore it just annoys me and feels uncomfortable on long runs) which has all the basic functions but does not have a memory of previous runs. I log onto mapometer.com and log my runs on there, you track distance and time. you can store runs…

you look amazing - I didn't think that people lost that much weight unless they were on the biggest loser! how did you do it?

can't imagine that your thighs are that big if you're stomach is so flat! running slims thighs though, fastest calorie burner too.

if you find one let me know...

oops - double posting!!

Stick with it - I too find it hard to stick within the calorie guide levels and feel too tired to exercise on some days but I'm starting to get used to the routine now. I've heard that the slower you lose it the longer it stays off (hopefully forever) good luck with your weight loss.

great weight loss, amazing difference, good luck with the rest of your journey

HI there Shock absorber do fantastic sports bra's and I always shop for bra's from bravissimo online they sell lots of different types for busty ladies (i think they do bra's to j or k cup) They sell support swimsuits too. Good luck with losing the bounce. Sarah

congratulations on finishing your 5k run, its a great feeling when you've finished. and the need to beat your previous time keeps you going out again and again.

Whats a c25k program - what am i missing?

you've done really well to lose so much weight - and you have such a busy time with your little girls. Its inspiring to know that it can be done.

you're right it is a lifestyle change and its a good thing to say to keep yourself on track. the hardest thing is to stop eating my kids leftovers or have a nibble when i'm making their lunch boxes for school. Its all the little things that are easy to forget that add the extra pounds on. I do find that when I don't do any…

good luck and its a great start in weight loss. I started 5 days ago and haven't weighed in yet, I hope I lose as much. loxleys

I'm new to the site too, i'm a mother of 2 also and heard from a friend who's lost a stone and 1 dress size in a month. I'm trying to lose the excess weight from pregnancy but my youngest is nearly 4! I have given 15 lbs target but ideally want to lose 25 lbs. I find it hard to reduce the amount of food I eat and wrongly…
