wow wish u a speedy recovery friend

hey everyone im back after holiday and got caught up in post holiday rubbish which meant I skipped 2 days of running but today I refused to allow myself to wrangle out of it even tho I was dreading it but actually once I got out there I felt amazing such a feeling of freedom and the changes in my body in such a short space…

Im fine before no weight gain however the scales are bonkers during and then for days after the bloat lingers takes a good couple of days for things to settle and the munchies feeling hits me hard during I battle with it im actually on ToM now and its such a pain as I am 1 lb off a 2 stone loss which is a big deal for me…

Congrats I also do small targets I am working on a stone at a time nearly at 2 and it works for me to keep me motivated as I guess I was planning to lose around 4 or 5 and to have that mountain to climb I knew I woukd get demotivated so by doing it one at a time ithas been positive for me im still here and still losing and…

i agree no i wouldnt log that i do think each to their own but come on logging everyday tasks like food prep and housework seems a bit desperate if you need to up your exercise numbers then go and exercise its not easy for any of us i have two toddlers but i wait for hubby to come home and then do my run etc there is no…

thats awesome

ok so probably repeating others but here goes in the early days you will have cravings and its up to you to balance things out until your body settles firstly you will never see this through if you completely give up junk food you enjoy it is possible to eat your favourite junk foods you just need to log correctly and…

cliche but i have never had the courage to wear a bikini and thats what i want so im hoping for next year thats my dream outfit i want to make hubby all hot and bothered on holibobs lol

oh damn never an easy answer is it :( im not sure im ready for weights yet once i hit target weight i will have to look at weights as a way to tighten everything thanks for advice everyone

because i dont want to be a big fat ugly cow anymore i also want hubby to be attracted and my kids not to be ashamed to be out with me as they get older

in that case i vote for cupcake whose with me lol

im not that tall just 5"6 however my initial goal is to reach 140 pounds and my absolute target is 126 now both of those put me in the healthy end of the BMI i would check it for yourself but for your height 110 sounds unhealthy as well as something that i dont think a person would be able to maintain through their life

ty jaki my ToM will be upon me in a week or so and believe me when the scales go haywire my attitude will truly stink lol but yeah i am in this 100% i want to look good and i plan on getting there i have set some huge milestones and intend to go through with them one i want to wear my first ever bikini on holibobs next…

hey everyone i know i have MIA lately but im still here just away on holiday with in laws and till next tue i am focusing my energy on the stationary bike but once i get back tuesday i will resume kicking *kitten* and reaching my monthly target see u all next week cant wait to see how u all kick butt on ur targets

i am a newbie been running 3 weeks and yes i am starting to love it but i think running is only good for a personality type im someone that is competitive so for me the further i can learn to run the quicker i can recover the more i can run as opposed to walking the more achievement i feel i have built up to 5k in the last…

i figured that would be the case thats why i havent and wont make it "official" so to speak and logged it on here hoping it is the same when i get home tho and im over half way to my original target i have another 23lbs to go there is nothing no plateau or bad day that will stop me now in fact just gonna work harder to…

thought I would start the 1st off on a good front and I did 5k so really chuffed with that ran most of it barely needed to walk and barely needed to recover my legs ache but its a good ache so all in all feeling really good gng back to my usual 2miles tomorrow

I couldnt do this without the friends on here just to have someone listen spurring me on and me them feel free to add

I am currently 177 but aiming for 140 then I will relax a little but ultimately want to hit the 126 mark im 5"6 btw

I have to say women as a collective can be down right mean to each other why we do it who knows but I have always preferred mle friends as there is none of that from them they have an issue they come right out with it however we all do it to some degrees whether we mean to do it simply because women are competitive with…

Everyone is different in toilet habits for some once every couple of days is normal for others a few times a day so if u havent gone normally for u it could certainly explain the weight increase but remember us gals have a rough time anyways hormones and water weight can also explain unexpained gains and losses in weight…

I agree with what someone else said earlier get the idea of eating for 2 out of your head as its drummed into women and its rubbish secondly you onpy need to eat an additional 500kcal so continue to kcal count but include those extra into the equation and stick with it thirdly craving aside think carefully about the food…

U will get so many diffent answers to this but in my honest opinion I think u will be fine doing what you are doing as eating for the sake of it is how most of us fatties got here in the first place the whole point of kcal counting is to be a concious eater enjoy food but listen to your body when it says enough Most people…

Cant believe today is the last day im a little sad about that this july challenge has done so much for me after yesterday altho I dont ache like I thought I would im gonna just finish the month with a mile today and see u all with your targets in the august thread

OMG I feel amazing I just did my first 5km ever I never thought I could do it and I did it not only 3 weeks into starting running but 13 weeks and 5 days since my surgery where I had my large bowel removed I even passed one of my old hospitals and there have been times when I could barely walk thro the door and now here I…

Im back after doing julys loved it based on julys im going for 25miles and then see if I can stretch it to 30

I guess im like a 4 im plain its simple as that im too fat and have about 23lbs left to lose my legs are full of cellulite but im running totry to improve that there is nothing special about me except my 2 kids

I have only just started running in the last 2 and a bit weeks I thought I would hate it as never done it before but I was desperate the exercise classes I usually do are cancelled till sept and as I dontmdrive its hard to fine cheap exercise that I can do close to home but im really glad I did I joined the july running…
