I weigh myself every day, honestly just because I'm nosy! I log my weight every monday morning, although as I'm only aiming to lose 1lb a week it's easy for me to just have an unlucky upwards fluctuation on that day, so really it'd be better to log my weight once a month, then I'd be able to see if the trend over the 4…

Thanks :) I wish I'd been sticking to it every day/week for the last 8 weeks of dieting as I'd have this useful information now! Unfortunately 3 colds and 3 stomach bugs (I've had some bad luck!) over 10 weeks has meant I've had weeks of not eating enough, weeks of doing things perfectly and weeks of eating just chocolate…

Thanks for the links :D The first one I already do points 2-4 :) with the regards to point 1 I have read the information and used the site suggested and depending on my activity level (inc gym sessions) it says to eat 1500-1900kcal a day to have a 500kcal deficit. I won't be ever eating at below 1600kcal anyway, so at…

I've been recommended those activity trackers before but the only ones I've seen are very pricey! I might just have to save up, or look for cheaper versions or second hand ones! I'd completely forgotten about them, might be useful, I really have very varied days! In my last placements I'd spend one day on my feet for 10…

Thank you :D I've tried MFP and other TDEE calculators, they're all so different, maybe it's the difference between whether they include exercise or not then. I was aiming for 1600kcal when only exercising 2-3 times a week, so I've not been far off only a 500kcal deficit. That's based on what I've calculated on MFP, so I…

First I go on the treadmill and do a 3K run, trying to run as fast as possible as I want to get my running speed up. Then I go on the leg adductor, abductor and then press Next I'll work on my arms using free weights and some of the machines Then I have an 8 minute ab routine that I do Finally I'll either do 5 minutes on…

Well done :) it sounds really hard! I'm going to start it next week... well... kind of.... I am going to do it at home, but I don't want to waste my gym membership so want to go there 2 times a week, then I love running so want to do that 1-2 times a week, plus 1 rest day... leaves 2-3 insanity sessions... which is not…

I'm a "fizzler" too! I lost weight Summer of 2010, gained it all again by Summer 2012, lost it from November 2012 - May 2013. Maintained until August 2013.... then gained and gained until Christmas 2013, have been losing since January 2014, I'll be at my goal within 4 months if I keep up the hard work, and then it's…

If I don't manage to shift much in the first few weeks I'm not going to try hard to reach my current goal for the dress fitting, just try to do the best I can healthily :) currently I have 10lbs to lose in 9.5 weeks (to be at the same size as the last fitting), but I'm expecting to lose around 8lbs in that time, those…

Coventry :) Feel free to add my anyone!

Thank you :D I'm a bit nervous because although I know how to lose weight and know that given enough time I can lose what I want to, I don't feel like I have enough time! 1lb a week for me is going to get difficult as I get under 11stone (154lbs) because it was last time! I'll keep trying my hardest though!

I listen to music now, but I used to listen to the radio, mainly for the songs, but as I sometimes ran during the morning breakfast shows which have much more talking than music and I'd be able to pay attention fine and sometimes even find myself laughing out loud at the funny content! Which was a little annoying as it…

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have a look at those two :D it sucks having painful knees! I've been to exercise classes in the past and tried to go through the pain and either end up falling or having to stop early from the pain (I once sat on the side and just cried because I had kept going throughout the pain for ages…
