bump. Hungry.......

Being a chef is not Light/Mod active Gary IMHO, it is very hard work, and can be very stressful. Congratulations on your achievements so far, but i would echo what others have said on here, and after being at 1200 myself for quite a few months, and found it unsustainable in the long term, you can eat a little more and…

Now I really really want bacon! But I know what you're saying, I had to give up cookie/ biscuits completely as I can't be trusted around them! :sad:

Wow, you look fantastic, and so happy! great arms!!!!! :)

bump :)

bump! amazing job!

Amazing change! You should be really proud of yourself, you look fantastic! ( and years younger!):smile:

i started off using 2.5lb weights and that was enough for me, even too heavy in places at the start. I am on level 3 now and use 5lb weights most of the time, and just swap to the lower weights for a few things, (like the V Fly's in level 2) as i would rather do more reps and keep up with Jillian and the girls than lift…

Sweetheart, i just want to echo what others have said on here, and to add my opinion as a mum myself, please believe in yourself and your own self worth, you are the centre of your baby's universe and as such need to be strong and healthy and not give a damn about what anybody else thinks (loser ex-boyfriend that means…

What are DOM's Please?:blushing:

Such a happy pic! wonderful. Thinking of setting myself a goal treat now!

No it would not be better to eat nothing at all, you know that! I know it can be really challenging to make healthy choices, and it takes a long time for the brain and body to realise that this change is for life! but you have to keep going. You are so young, and deserve a long and healthy life. I would stop eating crisps…

Here's more! You look amazing, you are amazing! It must have been hard at times, well done, all the luck in the world to you.:drinker: Be Happy. x

I posted about this a few months ago, when i first tried it, i thought "i can just to this in my pj's and bare feet right?" wrong! make sure you are properly dressed for a workout, including supportive footwear. You'll thank me when you get to level 2 and 3! Good luck everyone! [/quote]

It's hard to back off when you are so into it, but the longer we're here the easier it will get. I am the same, I'm getting a bit boring, going to try and cut down being on here, especially when I should be working instead!

I've been on 1200 for a few months now and don't find it hard to stick to anymore ( although th first two weeks were awful) But I feel the need to up my calories now, as im working out more, so am aiming for 1450. Adding friends in the same boat so you can see what they eat will help. When I want to eat something that's…

Haha, yes I am this kind of freaky! I've been doing push ups against the counter in the kitchen at work whilst waiting for the kettle to boil! I 'm just so pleased I can do them now, I do them everywhere! Not been caught yet.

That's amazing! Hope it works for me, just started level 2 . Congratulations on your achievement.

It's been a terrible year for pumpkins, too wet. The slugs and snails have eaten all but 2 of mine, and i had 10 plants in the ground! Have seen some in Morrisons for carving, i remember from last year they don't have much flavour. Lidl is usually really good for veg in season, so you may have to just be patient.

Thanks for the advice everyone, appreciate it. :happy:

Thanks Alice, you get what i was trying to say, thank goodness! I'm not angry, just find negativity unhelpful.

Well what did you mean then? If you're just stirring, i hope you have a nice day.

I know i need to do more weights etc and commit more. I used to be really fit in my 20's and everything was so easy then, i guess i am adjusting to being 41 also :sad:

Calorie goal is 1200 and i'm usually under, so i agree with previous posters, that as i'm not overeating i can't really be gaining fat/weight. Have just started doing the shred and i walk quite a bit, run occasionally and netball every other week. Don't know what macro's are :huh:

Thank you. I just needed a sensible talking too! Tick.

What???? Did i ask to be called a liar because i thought that might be fun today? My friends can see my diary. Just ask......

Thank you SIMON, very helpful.
