Feel free to add me. I've been offline for a while, but have started things up again this week so looking for a bit of a motivation boost :)

Vodka and red bull :)

No :)

Buy some cheap freezer containers and have one ready to pit your leftovers in straight away. Pop it in the freezer and it'll be cold and less appealing in about 5mins, you can then have it for lunch the next day or as another dinner option on nights you don't want to cook. As for feeling hungry afterwards, try slowing down…

If you're logging all your food and exercise then that would be the first place to focus. Weigh and measure everything, invest in a decent heart rate monitor to see what you're burning, take your measurements and check them every six weeks. It all comes down to input vs output, and you may need to log accurately for a week…

I understand where you're coming from. I don't have a date as such that I'm aiming for but whenever I try to set a time limit, it's like I give up before I even start, I'm usually not a defeatist but when it comes to weight it always happens. The only way I can get a handle on any kind of weight loss is to forget the long…

36

Hair

Arms :)

For women, myself included 25-30, for men 15-20 :)

Vivacious

No, not my type :)

I drive a van, it's easier to back into a spot than back out of one into oncoming traffic. Plus the front of my vehicle is smaller than the back giving people who park next to me a better chance of seeing what's coming in either direction if they are backing out.

Great smile :)

Normal Metformin is awful, could not get off the loo, passing out, dizziness, sweats etc I swapped to the XR (extended release) and there are zero side effects aside from the first two weeks of mild stomach upset. I've been on it for years to help regulate periods as well as control diabetes and it has no negative effects…

I measured it so I could log it accurately. I have about a third of a cup of milk in my coffee and a splash, around 20ml in my tea. Butter is about 5gm per piece of bread although I am starting the process of cutting out all butter/marg.

I would like to join please :)

Strong

Thanks for the replies :smile: Unfortunately I'm one of these people who also struggle with food and binging which is one of the main reasons I am this overweight, I struggle to stay on track with a lower calorie diet without exercise, I've tried it for years when I was unable to do anything at all exercise wise and while…

Me too :)

My favourite part has to be that mid point where you get that sudden rush of energy. I always start out pushing myself, then about 7 mins in feel like it's really hard work, and surely time is moving faster than that! But around the 10-12min mark it just goes BAM and all of a sudden the music is bouncier, I feel lighter…

It depends on whether it's working for you to do it so often or whether you'd benefit more from shaking things up a bit. I love Body Pump as a cardio workout mostly. So I try to mix it up, Monday I do a 90min X-Trainer and free weights session, Tuesday is 60min BodyPump, Wednesday is 2hour swim in the morning and 60min…

Yes I do. That's kind of like saying I'm counting the bowl of hot chips but not the fat content as it's a vegetable ;)

Wow well done on the inches lost! I'm in that awful in between sizes stage, too small for one and too big for the other so I'm going around in clothes that are sagging off me LOL Kind of makes me feel better that they are so much looser though! I'm doing my measurements at the gym at the end of this week hopefully so it'll…

I have very little cartilage in my right knee and left knee is diminished as well. I stick to no impact stuff, upright bike, x-trainer, pool. I do weights but strap my knees to provide the extra support. And due to back issues mainly do things like weighted squats, step ups, leg presses etc for legs.

Don't feel bad, I caved this morning :noway: Feel a bit embarrassed to admit it, but hey gotta own up to it to move past it. I'm going to re-start and look at it in one week lots, baby steps LOL

Yep i feel the same! Made it through Day 3 today, but all day my head was saying "you must have lost weight by now" LOL and then talking myself out of weighing by telling myself um it's only been 3 days! :/ Funny how the mind works when it's attached to something. And yes we can make it! It is getting easier each day and…

Hi! Great to see you all in here :) GetDancing - Big hugs xx I know how it feels to have chronic pain, I take tablets every day for pain and have all those lovely side effects too and don't even start me on sleep! Have you taken measurements from start to now? If not maybe try taking some measurements today or tomorrow to…

The group is all up and running, so feel free to come over and say hi!

Great to see so many who want to join in! I'll sort out a group and send you all an invite today :) Hopefully we can kick the habit together and see some fantastic results :D Although it was incredibly hard to avoid the scales this morning so I hope it gets easier with time. Maybe putting them away would help ;)
