  • Going back! I don't want to go backwards! I keep telling myself - I've started. I don't want to look back in 6 months and say "I shouldn't have stopped".

  • excellent summary! The one I fall down in is probably macro-nutrient intake. I started really well and now I eat a bit randomly (but still under calories). To know I'm knocking everything off that list in some way is a nice feeling. This motivates me to address the eating part again.

  • Is it hard for you to stay motivated when the losses aren't obvious over time?

  • I'd like to do a bit of weight lifting. I have started with body weight exercises such as dips, push-ups, body weight squats etc. Once I can do 5 full push-ups in a row, I'm going to move over to basic free weights. Last time I got into it, I injured my shoulder... so slow and steady :)

  • Great idea. I will take basic measurements tonight to keep track. I have old measurements from a while ago - I will also see how they compare. Thanks.

  • I am a bit disappointed as I have kept within my calories most of the time. Sigh. Soldiering on.

  • Suffered an injury over the weekend with some epic soreness at the base of my spine. After vigorous massage and a "click" into place I had a lot of relief. Not sure what this is called - but it was very sore and felt inflamed. That said, it's gone now - so back into some moderate exercise at gym tonight! My average has…

  • I'm wearing a heart rate monitor and exercising for up to an hour at a time. I think my numbers are fairly high as I'm unfit. Over time I expect the numbers to stabilise to show my increase in fitness, especially in RPM.

  • I was a bit obsessed with chocolate/chai protein chia pudding at some point! Now I use them sometime to replace eggs in any food I plan to freeze. They gel up really nice when wet which can help bind things in your normal recipes. You can google it.

  • The thought that I'll probably be running into an ex in a few months and also seeing "hot chicks" in "hot clothes" on my facebook feed. Damnit. I wanna look good in great clothes!

  • Between 3.30 and 6.30 before I get to eat dinner. I'm much better at avoiding desert after dinner, so this is my new hardest time!

  • Thanks, I just had a look at that thread. I like the "7 inches from shoulder" tip and also, measuring at your belly button. Perhaps I will tape a photo to my mirror to help with the placement of the tape. I use a tailors tape too! Do you measure every week?
