Your body could still be getting used to your new job, with the increased level of activity & not having a longer break. Perhaps take it easy for another few weeks and step it back up gradually?

I know you tried swimming but have you tried aqua jogging? And I agrees with the poster before, most of weightloss is done in the kitchen, but if you're anything like me it's much faster with added exercise.

It could be a lit of different things, I have trouble with my ITB & TFL & it presents as pain under my knee and down the sides. Mine's musculoskeletal but I have had some running coaching to make sure my running style isn't going to aggravate it. Once you find out what it is I'd suggest making sure your running style…

Any chance you could see a physio? I hurt both my knees recently and physio got me back dancing & running within 4 & 6 weeks respectively. Without it I'd have been out much longer.

Congratulations!! I am training for my first half - love knowing that even a non-runner can become a runner with a little determination.

Woohoo! Well done. I have my first half in February - the (amazing runner) boyfriend roped me into it yesterday. Hope I can finish mine too!!

I love mine mashed or boiled or cooked up as a soup.

They're really popular here, especially opaque black or colored ones or patterned. I wear them most days in winter & I'm 26. I currently have a 'thing' for dance tights - but only at night. They make my legs look fantastic! Too shiney for daywear though. Edited to say I'm wearing them in my profile pic. The pic on the…

Yip - MAKE yourself do it (get back on board without a new account or a new week) just once, and you'll realize it's no big deal for the future.

My inital goal was 145, I've just surpassed that and re-evaluated down to 135, but the closer I get to that the more I think it's not going to be where I feel comfortable, I think I'll ultimately end up somewhere between 120 and 130. I just hope I can do it fairly quickly, right now I'm losing about 1/2lb a week when I…

I like the idea of exercising to drink too - but wanted to warn you (from experience haha!) that after a few drinks, especially on an empty tummy, your counting goes out the window and you are far more inclined to overeat :-)

Everyone's right it's nothing to worry about BUT rewarding yourself with food is never a great idea - get a massage, buy that dress you love or a fancy new water bottle or if it HAS to be a food thing buy some expensive/flash fruits & treat yourself with an exotic fruit salad :-)

I have only lost 54lbs (24.3kg), but.... *I am smaller than I've been since middle school *I have more confidence than ever *I feel sexy *I wear size 4 dresses (UK/NZ/Aus size 8) not 10 (14) *I wear size 6 pants (UK 10) not 12 (16) *My tops are small not L/XL *I wear JUST my bikini - in public pools! *I have a super HOT…

Here are mine, I'm a tad under 5'4" and I still have a little to go

I haven't posted mine before - but the OP is from NZ like me, and I'm a bit of a shorty (164cm - a little under 5'4") So is me so far. I still have a few kg to go.

Not Zumba, but I've lost 51lb dancing zouk lambada and similar latin styles.

Ohh definitely don't let earthquakes stop you coming to visit Christchurch - it seems we're well and truly over the worst of them. Plus with all the rebuilding (where else are you going to go and find a WHOLE new city!?) this is about the most exciting place to be in NZ. Thanks to the quakes I've lost my home twice, I've…

I'm terrible at packing my own lunches for uni, I try to make myself a few sandwiches when I make my son's school lunch and I like to throw in a healthy snack (like an apple or two) that normally tides me over for the day. But failing that I've scoped out all the cafes and restaurants on campus and I know where to buy…

love22step you DEFINITELY could rock a bikini! I hope I'm half as hot as you at 60 :o)
