Thanks I starkm. I have taken note of the walk/run programme for learning how to run and when I am out walking I walk at a medium pace and then do 1 minutes bursts of fast walking. I aim to increase these bursts to keep raising my heart rate. I have also started eating around 1400 calories in total, regardless of whether I…

Well done - I think I am a bit more on track this week. I'll see at weigh in on Friday! Megan

Thanks Jansus - Ironically I ate and drank lots this weekend and haven't put any on! Weekends are always my downfall, I can put upto 5lbs on and then spend the whole week trying to get rid of it again. So to not put any on is a good sign. I'm aiming for 1400 calories and no eating back what I earn this week to see how I…

I think you need new scales. Or, like you said, just throw them out! If your clothes are fitting better and you are feeling well then you must be doing something right. Megx

Cheers Amy - I am not too disheartened, just want to see what others think. I keep reminding myself it took 4 kids and 11 years to gain the weight - it's not going to drop off over night! Good on you ging to the leisure centre, I'm walking to train station and then will be tramping around kendal later! I like 'practical'…

Ah, that is interesteing! I have read lots of people who eat theirs, but no one who doesn't. That said, my friend who started 3 weeks ago eats 1200 every day, doesn't exercise, but is a school teaccher so fairly active. She has lost 11lbs. So maybe there is something in it! Mx Ps - COGRATULATIONS to you and your hubby on…

Thanks all! I am eating 1200 calories as that is what MFP suggested. I do eat back my excercise calories and I have tried improving the foods I am eating, althgough I admit they haven't been as healthy this week. I think what I really want to know is whether I should up my calories - I am not hungry at any point though. I…

I think I will give the stair running ago - really fed up today too. A whole week and not a bit lost! Mx

I'm so pleased to read this! I started ok - over 3lb's in the first two weeks but this week I have struggled andcan't shift any more. I really needed to read about someone who was a little dejected but who got over it today! It will inspire me to watch what I am doing this weekend! Megan

I too have gained a little weight this week. It is so disheartening. However, I am spending some time reading over everything people have written on here and I have come to the conclusion that I need to measure myself, drink more water and eat more!! I think it is the eating more I will struggle with, although this may…

Hello from Lancaster. This is starting to sound a little like the Eurovision. Mx
