no change on my scale - still 152. I've fallen into the same old trap this last week, my clothes feel loose and I've had a few complements about losing weight then I eat a little snack, then another and yes you guessed it another. I really want to be 146 for xmas so i've set myself a challenge to only eat half my exercise…

25

thanks for that - it made me laugh, I hope mine never get that low!!!

you look amazing - hard work, diet and exercise really does pay off!

I ran home from work tonight - it was pitch black, cold and raining. I learned to love running in the rain years ago as it rains most days in Sheffield England. The severity of the rain differs between light rain and heavy showers but I pull on my baseball cap (I wear glasses so its essential) turn my music on and start…

I agree with this - I've not tried the new ea active but if its anything like the first one it'll be good, you can feel the burn the morning after the first session! I sold my wii fit and board as it was so slow and boring - I have the family trainer for my two girls and I find that harder! I'm interested in the zumba for…

I weighed in this morning and i'm currently 152lbs, so a 1lb weight loss. I get up every morning at 6 to do the 30 day shred, then I walk my girls to school (20 mins) and go to work and run home most nights (3 miles or 22 mins running). I'm not losing as much as I would like, but the loss of inches (-2.5 off my waist) is a…

i'm still trying to get down to my pre pregnancy weight - my youngest is nearly 4!! I've tried a whole load of diets and they don't work for me, I've just been over eating and now hopefully i'm controlling the amount I eat - thanks to MFP. I don't think my baby pouch will ever go fully but its shrinking thanks to the 30…

Welcome from a cold and wet Sheffield! this site is more addictive than facebook, its a great place. People actually have interesting things to talk about and It helps you lose weight. Good luck

Its great fun, Me and my hubby dressed as santa last year with our two girls, dressed as christmas puddings, we ran a mile (for the british heart foundation) and it started snowing halfway through. It was nice for the kids but at 2 & 3 they were confused at seeing 1000 santas running around! Its nice to see so many people…

I tried them once, at the time they were 'advertised' as a tablet to improve hair skin and nails. I also tried something called kbl6 tablets from Holland and Barratt as they were supposed to increase fat matabolism. They both tasted disgusting and were massive to swallow, I stopped taking them as they didn't work on me. I…

Thanks for the input, I think i'll look for the slim down dvd as i'm not keen on the strength work so would just avoid it and do the cardio!

You look amazing, can't believe that you have another 60lbs to go!

I'm not an alcoholic - i just like to have a drink some nights! I'm not getting up on a morning and pouring a vodka and coke!!! I do find that drinking has a negative effect on my weight loss so am cutting it out during the week. @Karen - thanks for the link - I have read it and think that I will stick to only having a…

1/2 lb loss this week. Still doing 30DS and I think its effecting my weight loss, but I am losing inches everywhere!

i've just done this and it confirmed that my ideal weight is what i have set. But i do think it depends on how you feel in your clothes. Good luck with your weight loss

If i'm in a hurry and need some food fast then i always have some cous cous in the cupboard, I have it with veggies, ham, cheese and a side salad (for a carb fest) or i'll make a ham and mushroom omelette with a salad. They're both really quick to make and tasty too. I'm not a great cook and if it takes too long to cook…

I have a heart rate monitor which I wear most of the time when I exercise. On average its close the general guides for running and walking but when I wore it during a session on 30 day shred it was much lower than the MFP guide for calorie burn (I used general circuit training), but I was surprised that I burnt 175cals…

you look smaller all over to me. Keep a check of your measurements once a month for even more encouragement. good luck with the continued weight loss.

@stella77 - jillian is annoying but I just turn her voice off. If her routine turns my wobble to tone i'll put up with her a bit longer!

I've just completed day 6 and at the end of it I feel like I could do it again, I think i'll do level 2 on monday as i'm feeling brave.

prayers and hugs for your sister and you. good luck with getting on track, good news re exercise. cw 153.5lbs

Its not just me then!! I use MFP everyday and hardly go on FB anymore - the topics on this site are my 2 favourite subjects - food and exercise! Not only that but its helping me lose weight too.

thanks for the advice - I've tried to have loads of water today and eat alot more protein. Plus i've started the 30DS as my new DVD arrived today - so hopefully the 2lbs will just melt away. lol! hopefully my next night out will be more reserved and i'll stay away from the cocktails!

I just got my 30DS today and tried it out tonight - and it was the hardest workout dvd i've tried! I'm feeling my arms aching already. Hopefully i'll still be alive after the 30 days. What weights do you use, the smallest I have are 3kg's and are too heavy for some of the moves but ok for others, its either that or water…

I always buy level 4 shock absorber bra's they're great, I don't notice any bounce at all. They aren't underwired but they do the job. (i'm a 30f) I've tried a few variety's but find these the best. They are expensive but well worth it.

you look amazing!

I'm so gutted I missed out on joining this group, I only heard from the 30DS on this site last week and ordered it online straight away but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm starting the day my dvd arrives. I'm going to continue running 5 days a week too so hopefully i'll get some good results. I hope everyone does well with…

i'm a bit worried about this challenge now - I have some new digital scales and they aren't as number friendly as my old scales! sw - 159 cw - 156 gw - 146 good luck everyone.

\when I started running about 6 years ago - i couldn't run to the end of the road, so I followed a simple plan from the Runners world website - its was 1 min walk 1 min run for 20 mins x 3 sessions, 2mins run 1 min walk x 3 sessions, 3 mins run 1 min walk x 3 sessions, etc etc. Don't over stride as it can give knee pain.…
