Great, great story, so glad you're happy and have achieved our goals. Like you I'm stopping weighing - just for a month initially - scales suck! It's clothes and measurements all the way! Good luck!

That's brilliant, you must have been buzzing!

Well done you!

You've done amazingly well - good luck on your continuing journey to be the best, healthiest you that you can be XXX

End of week 1, awww I feel like such a noob :laugh: - but LOVING IT! Hammering the weight up every session as I started out so low due to being paranoid about my 'bad back' - and still don't think I'm there yet as I added planks on to the end of tonight's session. Love that you can crack it out really quickly (at this…

Ruddy good work!

This weekend I will mostly be walking my dogs - yay! If there is an animal shelter near you why not contact them to see if they need dog walkers, nothing cheers you up as much as watching a dog have a good time :smile:

Well done you, I'm just coming up to my 2 month mark and I've had similar results and it does make you super stoked :)

Last time I went I just threw 2000 calories in my diary and forgot about it. It's just one day. If you were eating there once a week that would be a different matter but making this a lifestyle change and not a diet is about the ability to have a crazy meal and then get back on the horse of eating well. Don't sweat it and…

^^ This! Who knew I was going to love exercise so much! When the guys at work are munching biscuits (cookies) every single day and not once have I thought 'ohhhh, I'd like one' - it's as if they have gone completely off my radar.

I think I'm going to leave cheese on my verboten list at the moment - I'm still a little scared of unleashing the cheese beast! :laugh: It seems too good to be true, doesn't it? But, it makes complete logical sense and as long as I am lifting and walking the pooches then I think my figures are ok. I only weigh once a week…

I've tried the odd one - if you're going to eat ready meals they're probably one of the best of a bad bunch.

Hi everyone, just done my first workout B - verdict? LOVE deadlifts but sense OHP are the devil's lift - starting out with super low weights as I get my form down and even then I felt really weak and it took me a while to finish them. But hurrah, I feel like I've properly started now, bring it on!

I mainline cups of English breakfast tea pretty much all day And I have recently become addicted to Kenco Millicano - so my instant coffee, and therefore caffeine consumption, has gone up! However I balalnce it out with lots of decaff green tea and water. To be honest I'm more concerned about the amount of calories in…

Once you've found them once then they should show up in your recent/most used list - and I've always been able to find individual whole foods.

Whoop! Ruddy brilliant work!

UK site but usually spot on - assume you have jerusalem artichokes. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/search.do?keywords=jerusalem+artichoke&filterItem=&filterItem=&filterItem=&filterItem=&filterItem=&filterItem=&filterItem=&filterItem=&filterItem=&filterItem=

Hey there are a lot of lifting groups on here There's a Stronglifts group for women which is really friendly and a great place to start with the basic compound lifts.

Every year I make Nigella's coca cola ham - so so good and there would be a mutiny if I didn't bake a ham. http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/ham-in-coca-cola-171 - except my ham is at least twice that size :happy: I also make my grandma's trifle - I daren't even being to think how many calories are in this :noway:

You have a dog? Got a friend who is willing to lend you their dog? I've found since having the pooches that naturally I just talk to more people on a day to day basis - I understand there are dog play parks or some such thing in America *baffled Brit look* borrow a dog and go hang out in the park. You'll be doing your…

I enjoy a large dinner - if I ever have a large lunch I just end up wanting a large dinner as well! :laugh:

Hi Guys Well it feels a bit odd to be here because up until last night I was set on doing NROL4W - however I lift at home and it just seemed like I would be making modifications all over the place - plus the workouts are kinda complicated. So last night I did my first Stronglifts routine - huzzah. However I started out…

1) For it to be a physical impossibility that any weight lost up until Christmas Day could EVER be put back on again. Ever. 2) Something fitnessy - maybe a HRM or something, dunno 3) Another pug and the ability to work from home so I can spend more time with the critters :)

Nuts - pic gone awry

Found it! Dumbbell rows :)

Hi guys I *know* I have read this somewhere today but blowed if I can find it - and my book is at home so can't look it up What alternative exercise do I use for seated rows? Home gym so no seated row machine - which is disappointing because I can pull a heck of weight using one of those :bigsmile: If someone can tell me I…

Hello - back again and hopefully for good. Last time I started I managed one ultra humiliating workout at the gym (that 19 year old trainer will burn in hell, believe me) and then blew my back. A month later my back is fine again, I have 150kgs of weight sat in my house with squat rack and bench and I'm much better…

Well done, that's an amazing story and achievement, you must be so so proud of yourself - and rightly so :)
