If I were you I'd try HIIT rather than a constant 20 minute sprint. I hate long stints of cardio too so as part of every workout I do 15 minutes on the elliptical where I go at a moderate pace for two minutes then sprint for one minute. It's a more efficient way of burning fat than steady cardio.

My measurements are 34/27/34 and I'm a UK size 8 in most shops, so those specifications don't necessarily apply to everyone. As for whether it is possible for you to get to a size 8, it really depends on your height/build, but I was a size 14 six years ago so it can be done!

I have never seen a thread on this website with so much body shaming, and I can't believe more people haven't objected to it. And to the guy on page 8 who thinks he has the right to slut-shame women who choose to wear short dresses, you are the worst kind of human. Please check yourselves.

Greek yogurt with mixed berries, muesli and agave nectar.

Try snacking on calorie-dense foods like nuts (including peanut butter), cheese, and high calorie fruits such as bananas - a large banana contains 100 calories so is a good way to boost your intake.

I can't believe Melissa Bender hasn't been mentioned already! She's amazing, check her out: http://www.benderfitness.com/ http://www.youtube.com/user/mdloughy

I'm interested in giving this programme a go, is there somewhere I can get a simple breakdown of how to do it?

blink182 - Feeling This

Go Georgi! You look fantastic :love:

You look perfect and this is so inspiring.

At 140lbs I was a UK 10/US 6.

You could make up brown rice and mixed veggies? That would be nice cold.

Soup in a thermos?

I try to get as much protein as possible so I actively try to go over. Any protein your body doesn't need you will just excrete anyway. I try to stay in the green on cals, carbs and fat.

It really depends on the type of injury, but anything low-impact that doesn't put a lot of pressure on the joint should be fine. I notice a lot of people are saying swimming, however my doctor advised me against using breaststroke with a bad (dislocation-prone) knee, so maybe bear that in mind.

I love that there are people taking this thread seriously.

Green tea with mango and lychee Green tea with peach and cherry blossom Green tea with pineapple and grapefruit Lemon, honey and ginger Camomile and spiced apple Raspberry and chilli I like tea a lot.

I'm from Kent, pretty near. Add me if you like!

Take a deep breath, have a cup of tea, remind yourself of your goals and of that unbeatable feeling of seeing results, talk to a supportive friend, do something that will distract you, snack on fruit and veg to fill you up. It's hard, but you'll feel so much better if you stay on track.

I'm 5'4", 126lbs and a UK size 8-10 (US 4-6).

I don't think it's because of her email because my email address ends in .co.uk and I had no problem signing up.

It would help if you opened up your diary so people can give you constructive advice.

Hi, I'm 28, feel free to add me.

This. I also think listening to your body is something you can get better at. It's a useful skill to develop if you don't want to be counting for the rest of your life.

Haha me too. Why not just walk up and down your street?! That's free!

Salad (dressing on the side), fish, lean white meat, veggies, omelette, jacket potato. If in doubt choose something simple with few ingredients!

Bump as I have this too since my exercise regime got more intense.

I agree with this. I am suspicious of any health plan that you have to pay for. Improving your diet and exercise regime is free and the only way to truly implement a lifestyle change is to alter your habits for good. I don't see plans like SW as sustainable in the long-term.

I'll lighten up when you quit the body shaming bs :yawn:

I don't like the implication that fat women are not "real" women. What are they, then? Imaginary women? Sub-women? Men? All women are real women, regardless of size.
