Thank you =) xxxx

Apologies in advance - this is going to be a miserable ranty post because I'm in a foul mood and am so angry with my Dad right now and need to vent!!!! So went to the gym last night for Personal Trainer appointment with Alan and he'd looked at my printed food diary (averaging 1400 - 1600 calories a day since 3 Jan) and he…

Definitely! Lost over 14lbs with Slimming World but I didn't change my life style so as soon as I came off it everything (and more) came back on!! Delightful really! So I'm trying to learn what's best for me and this site is fab with the protein/carb breakdown and trying to change bad habits of a lifetime!! xxx

Mine's public, but to be honest that is more for other people to have a nose and pass on some comments/tips which are constructive and helpful. I don't lie in my food diary as it won't get me anywhere (to be honest, lying to myself about what I've eaten got me here in the first place so dont see the point in continuing to…

Hello! I joined 15 days ago and have 90% been sticking to it and have been killing myself at the gym 3 times a week and have lost 5lbs! So I'd definitely say it works as long as you're prepared for change. I'm having to teach myself how to eat properly and not use this site as a "get to my goal" site, as I know once I stop…

Wow you've organised some amazing exercise!! I work a stones throw from Regents Park so in the spring/summer/non-torrential rain weather I love going for a toddle and just getting away from my desk =) really good idea to build up for your 10k - when abouts in April is it? xxxx

The problem is I eat breakfast at work so really struggle - think I'll be sticking with Special K and skimmed milk again this week - just so easy and does keep me going! I used to buy a pasta salad from a local cafe at lunch and loved it, and one day last week I was really unorganised and ran down to get one, worked out…

Hey I WI at 168.5lbs today, so thats a lose of 2.5lbs this week!!! xxxx

Guildford and work in central london =) xxx

queenmedusa we're the same weight and WI on the same day!!

Definitely! Had my pity me moment, and now planning the week and hoping for a better one =)

Hi everyone, Been really busy at work this week, so weakened up a bit =( original plan was to have massive homemade pasta salad on gym days, and then soup on non-gym days, but I couldn't get away from my desk most lunchtimes so ended up having shop bought pasta salads which are way more calories than soup! Still worked my…

Well done!!

The weight I sent you originally (so what's on your amazing table!) was my WI for Sunday 9th. I'll WI in today when I get up =) Thanks for sorting this all out it's fab!!

Hey hun, no biggy but I weigh-in on a Sunday normally! Does that mean my weigh in tomorrow will count towards this?! Or do I have to wait a week? xxx

Woop woop I'm in, I've just sent you a message! Team south!! xxx

Welcome Katy =) everyone is fab on here so you'll love it! xxx

Definitely!

This has happened to me before too - I used to be on a "health kick" and go to the gym 3 times a week, and after 2 weeks saw I'd gained 1lb and thought well I won't bother with this! The increase in weight could be muscle or water, and muscle is good because it takes up less space than fat, and water you know you'll shift…

Hi Katherine!! Yes super small world that you found me on here!! Loving the local support =) (and obviously everyone else as well!). I live in Guildford but work in central London. Be interesting to know where everyone else is and, if they're a member of the gym, which gym they go to as we could be in the same place…

Haha love that!! Well I'm only 22 for another 3 weeks, does that increase the similarity?! xxx

Hi, another newbie! I'm Lauren, I'm 22 and I live in Surrey (work in London - so a joyful commute!). I joined the site as recommended by Aled from the Chris Moyles Show and love it - so easy to use and keep track! I've got a personal trainer for the gym (once every 2 weeks) to get my bum in shape and hopefully lose quite a…

Hey, now I'm afraid I'm not a yummy mummy (or a mummy at all) but my aim is to lose weight and tone up at the same time, and my trainer has given me some resistance exercises like lunges, planks etc. They're on my blog (http://lrns88.blogspot.com) if thats the kinda thing you're after =) Good luck! xxx

Hi, I don't know much about it but I do HIIT (high intensity interval training). Theres a really good guide on Cosmopolitian UK: http://www.cosmopolitan.co.uk/chatroom/topic/120742 hope it helps! xx

Thanks for all your advice! I'm doing a late training session tonight so munching a pasta salad (wholemeal pasta) for lunch, a banana and some fruit before workout, and thinking a jacket potato with tuna and baked beans for after! Anything to keep me away from the chocolate and having a massive sugar crash!

Thanks for this - the site looks fab!

Well done for starting this journey and I wish you all the success in the world with it =) xxx
