<<<<<<<<< - My profile picture :) I always lose it off my face first!!

Have added you! im 25, with no kids and an unhealthy addiction to carbs/sugar!! I log daily and have an open diary - really trying to watch what i eat but as I have recently given up smoking, i'm not being too hard on myself if I have a treat ;) xx

thats fantastic progress, well done you! have you been doing it every day? I have the dvd and have done about 8 days at Level 1 but never consecutive days as I do gym and C25k inbetween.....

Hi! I'm in Devon ;) Will add you x

Wow, this thread has really made me smile! I used to hate my thighs but now I'm seeing them in a new light ;) This was before I started exercising - hopefully they'll get stronger and better looking! http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb150/lauren1800_photo/image.jpeg

I'm gonna say exactly what everyone else has said - WOW!!!! Such inspiration from amazing and beautiful women! I am exactly 5"4 and I've always wondered what i would look like at my goal weight - i certainly hope I look as good as you dudettesl! I can't wait to see the difference throughout this year :)

My level is sedentary as I work in an office too, but I do have a saturday job - cleaning 6 holiday cottages over 3 hours. I def log that!!

Wow, you look amazing! You are such an inspiration to everyone and really motivating me to get my butt into gear!! Well done!!!!!

Feel free to add me! I'm down here in Devon :)

Its great how supportive people are on here! I'll add you as I'm new too! I'm Lauren, 24yrs old (no children unless you count my long term partner!) and looking to lose around 20lbs but mainly need to get fit for a charity trek I'm doing :)

i started on 14th too, my first time seemed really good and i enjoyed it but did the 2nd one last night and it was much harder..... seriously thinking about repeating week 1 again as don't think i could increase my running time! anyone else contemplating this?

Well Done! We're all proud of you too! i'm about to do workout 2 of week 1... in the hail... strangely excited about it!! I've never been a runner but there's so much positivity about this programme so im all guns blazing ;)

I'm from Devon, UK :)

i'm 5"4" - last time i weight myself I was 144 lbs and I wear a size UK12-14.

Congratulations on being smokefree for 2 weeks! I too havent had smoked for 14 days but am too scared to weigh myself :/ although you have gained a little bit of weight, think of the health benefits by not smoking! You'll find it easier to be active now and the weight will drop off again :) Keep up the good work!!

Yep, my sis is the one driving me! I've heard of Whizz-Kidz, fantastic charity! Well done for doing the London Marathon as well, dont think you'll have any problem with Everest base camp! Yeah its the altitude thats the killer, Machu Picchu is high but not as high as you're going. its a shame we cant train for that, but i…

Thanks! I'm sure we'll both be overwhelmed by these treks ;) I'm doing it for Live Life Then Give Life, they're an organ donation charity - it was my sister getting those lungs that inspired me! Who are you doing it for? I'm sure you'll be fine with no drinking/smoking - I always felt ashamed of being a smoker because my…

Hi! Fantastic for doing so well and for getting fit for charity! I'm new too and am struggling a bit. I'm also doing a charity trek but to Machu Picchu next year - I have always wanted to do the Everest Base Camp one, so am slightly jealous! And I too have giving up smoking - I am determined to keep it up :)
