I'm in! Posting two days late but I actually decided on Sunday to really get back on track. And I have an event on the 17th November so this time scale suits well! Starting Weight: 190lb. Goal Weight: 140lb. So I have a fair way to go but I have to start somewhere! Plan is to log everything, exercise regularly and change a…

This kind of media is not unique. It appears in the press here every so often. I work in the NHS and it is true that demand is rising, we are facing a population that is living longer with multiple health issues, a massive increase in conditions like diabetes and increasingly a blame culture where so much legislation,…

Good goals. I like the term "intentional exercise" ...I think I'm going to adopt it! I'm quite active in my job (healthcare assistant in the UK which I think might be a nursing assistant/auxillary in the states) so I am walking a lot, carrying heavy buckets, unloading supplies, helping patients etc. But I don't want to…

So yesterday was.....well a disaster as far as goals go! My gym membership was cancelled by accident by the by so I couldn't attend the class. Felt so put off by that hubby and I ordered pizza for dinner. Binged on Netflix thus staying up too late. Drunk plenty of fizzy with my pizza but not enough water and was too busy…

Just discovered this post. Love it! Goals for today (wedged around working a 10 hour shift!): Attend my first 45 minute spinning class (usually have only done 30 minute classes) Stick under my calorie goal Update my journal Drink 2 litres of water Get an early night

Tonight is mixed bean and sweetcorn chilli with cous cous and lots of lovely salad.

I love a quote I read from Blogilates (youtube Pilates instructor).....Good ab's are made in the gym and revealed in the kitchen....i.e work on abdominal exercises that will strengthen those muscles and follow the advice you've been given already about diet. Shed the pounds and build the ab's and eventually you'll see…

Started 194lb. Goal is 134lb. 60lbs to lose total or in UK measurements 4 stone 4 lb. I'm down 8lb already. Once I've lost a stone (14lb) I'm going to treat myself to a home pamper day 2 stone (-28lb) Will be exercise equipment/gear of some kind 3 stone (-42lb) Will be some new nice make up No reward for 4 stone as my…

I can understand. Although I still have my thyroid gland I often feel like I might as well not for how little it works! I'm on nearly the highest dose of Levothyroxine (thyroid hormone replacement) and it has taken me personally about 3 years to reach the right dose for me. But it can happen! I've been on the right dose…

Alternative/Indie Pop mostly...but thats all I have on my phone! Usually Bastille, Of Monsters and Men, Walk off the earth etc. Basically my favourite music because thats what helps keep me motivated

Late starter but I'm in! Can't remember the whole month so I'll start from this week. Monday: 1 hour intensive walking Thursday: 1.5 hours gym Friday: 1.5 hour bike ride Total: 4 hours Will definitely have to step it up the rest of the month!!

Tonight will be Pork Schnitzel, celeriac and apple mash, roasted winter vegetables and sweet potato wedges.

My boss just asked me if I'd lost weight because I was looking a lot slimmer!

I'm spending my evening...at the gym! I'm not a regular member of the gym currently (due to not wishing to sell a kidney to pay for it) but I'm hoping a day pass and a good 2 hour session this evening will get me kick started properly for doing more exercise at home. Really hoping to have a good weight loss this week so…

That's a great idea. I think I shall start!!

I have been so off track the last week and a half due to being ill. Didn't shift a pound this last 10 days. I'm going to have to work really hard in the coming weeks to make up for that. Goals for today: Stick to calorie limit. Tricky today as work are getting pizza in tonight for us all! But I'll stick to just the one…

I've been sick all week so not able to do much diet or exercise wise. Although I could barely eat anything so it may not be a total failure! Today is the first day I am starting to feel human again but still have to take it fairly easy. Goals for today Drink plenty of water Stick to calories Rest and recover

Today's goals: Drink plenty of water 30 minute walk Stick to calorie limit Have my green smoothie

I weighed in this morning and was down 2 pounds, however the formula columns don't seem to have updated. Goals for today: Green smoothie for brekkie to start with the nutrients 2 litres of water Go for a run this afternoon Feel positive about the loss so far

Didn't have a chance on Sunday or Monday to set any goals or try and stick to them but just generall tried to be healthy! Today's goals: Avoid the junk food at work Go for a walk at lunch time (if the torrential rain stops by then!) Drink 2 litres of water Stay under calorie limit

Goals for today.... Stick under calorie limit Go for a walk at lunch time Go for a walk with the hubby this evening after work (beautiful countryside right on our doorstep waiting to be entered!) Plan how to boost the healthiness over the weekend Drink plenty of water

Goals for today: actually stick to the plan! I had a rubbish day yesterday and felt so low and depressed most of the day, I splurged with a big bag of crisps and chocolate. So I really need to motivate myself to be back on track today.

Hi everyone, I am Sarah and I'm from the sunny south coast of the UK (though rather chilly today!). I'm aiming to lose 17lbs by the end of the year hopefully as that will be a third of the way to my target weight. I'm planning on following the plate of good health (1/4 carb, 1/4 protein, 1/2 fruit and veg) for as many of…

Ok checking in from the UK now that we're awake over here! Goals for the day: Remember to log food accurately Resist the snacks at work Go out for a walk during my lunch break Drink enough I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in with this challenge. I do like a good deadline! And I love the idea of being able to…

I've added my numbers in. Thanks guys for setting this up...it's just the kick up the backside I've been needing!

Ok I'm in. I've always found having targets works well for me. So my aim.... I'm Sarah and I'd always hovered around the higher side of my ideal weight range until about 2 years ago. Suddenly weight started piling on. So now I'm at the point of trying to lose 50lb's to get back to the weight I was back then. I was…

Suncream!! I learnt this the hard way on Saturday after running 5k in the sun and having a lovely glowing red chest and neck to prove it!

Yep I'm in!
