The thing is, running is completely different to any other exercise i,e strength, cycling, elliptical etc, it takes a lot of endurance and if you have never run that simply just has to be built up, if you cant get past 4 mins then try getting to 4 mins 10 sec, week 1 , 4 mins 20 secs week two etc! It just takes time and…

eeeek have my first one on March 16th! This makes me so excited!!

I think you should be flattered, alot of of the time if people ask its just because there interested and want to be able to loose the same amount :)

1/2: 2lbs 8/2: 2lbs 15/2: 2lbs 22/2: 2lbs :D!! 8 lbs lost in Feb! 1 stone in total!!

I'm from the uk (south Wales) and its really uncommon I've only ever seen one person that is so big they need. Wheelchair and that was shocking! On the other hand living with not many obese people means u have a clear understanding of what healthy weight is! Although it could be because I avoid any fast food places?!

1st writing a food diary ( couldn't live without now) 2nd running 3rd joining the gym

I also mainly do cardio however my routine is: Monday: Circuit training (high intensity- involves running, 2 min planks, weights burpees etc) Tuesday: Gym (atleast 5k on treadmill followed by rowing/elliptical and some resistance training) Wednesday (Circuits/rest day depending on how i feel) Thursday (Gym atleast 5k if…

The thing that works for me is jumping into a warm shower soon afterwards, i tend to get cold because your soacked through sweat, Think of how you feel when you just get out of a shower and its chilly! Also defiantly count your calories, you could even be over eating and in that case the exercise may not be enough if you…

I am 22 white with blonde hair...but love to listen/sing gospel and motown music I cheer lead but hate pop and am not a ***** I am welsh but don’t 'shag sheep' I am blonde with green eyes...but have afro Caribbean hair I am one of the most 'girlie' people you will meet but my favourite music is dub step and drum and base…

Hey, you probs know already but wraps are carbohydrates ? If you don’t want to be eating carbs after 6 then your best bet is just to team either fish or chicken with salad or warm veggies, i.e. Salmon with broccoli and peas or chicken with butter nut squash and onion gravy etc :) Hope this helps abit! However i also agree…

I ran 5 K in under 31 minutes :) which means im now confidant enough to enter my first 5k race :) helps having a boyfriend that runs it in 16.40 mins :/ x

roast with butter not squash, and red onions with mixed herbs then have with some chicken on the side! NO OLIVE OIL, just spray with a little fry light!!

Thats fab!!

I always see it in stores like tesco/asda etc, just look by the cranberry/mint sauce!! :) (from uk)

congrats you look awsome for it!! keep up the good work, i agree its mind over matter!

When i heard it is what they feed to people with eating disorders i.e. anorexics in order to increase weight quickly, that was enough to put me off the stuff!!!

Get excited for the gym :) not care about the fact that my stomach is rumbling, know that I WILL accomplish my goals, be the lightest ive been since I can remember!!

SW : 160 lbs CW: 148 lbs GW (by easter): 140 lbs

im in!!

Anyone else thinking well atleast there at the gym?!? some people buy all there new fashionable gym gear and dont even have the motivation to wear it! On the other hand, my gym is dissapointing other than the odd guy who matches his headphones with his trainers (far too much thought for the gym)!

ha the 'oh hell know' is definatly a good way to put it! Your loss is fantastic! keep up the good work!!

Thats the same as me! I saw a picture of what 1 lbs of fat looks like (enough to have to hold with two hands!! )and everytime i loose 1 lb i think back to that! Any loss is a good loss! :) And thanks for the tip on the can of beans! Ive been trying to find something to compare my weight with! also, its better to loose 8…

It tends to be the people you havnt seen in a while, so if your seeing the same people day in day out dont get disheartened! Mine was two days ago when a work collegue said I am looking 'smaller' ha! x

Amazing job, im on 12 lbs and aiming for 20!!

your story gave me the goosebumps !! Just what i needed to get me in the mood for a healthy day :D Definatly going to read the blog. You seem to know alot about nutrition maybe the fact that your not in contact with lauren is a sign that you no longer need the help of others to guide you :) keep up the good work! And…

Another brit here :) From south wales!! Add me if your near and need some support!

Maybe bring a snack to work that you can have an hour before going to the gym like a bananna which will give you energy to exercise?

Thats awsome if that correct, but double check that your distance is right :) theres a few apps you can use like nike run, that tells you how long you've run and how many calories, if this isnt accessable try running on a treadmill if you would like to be certain and check the distance! Hope this helps, and keep up the…

In all fairness, Ive been eating 1,100 and not eating back my exercise calories. And ive been loosing two pounds per week (for the last 7 weeks) so If you stick to 1,200 without eating back the exercise calories in my opinion this is the way you will loose 2lbs. Its low but aslong as you are eating correctly its fine :)…

http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/calories-goal.php This lets you enter your goal weight and tells you how many calories you should be eating in order to get to that weight by a specific time :) I used it, it decreases the amount of calories you can have as the time goes by so you dont plateu. Best one ive used, ive also…
