I agree with bv109. We often mistake hunger for thirst so get plenty of water down you. Try fizzy water. I find the gas in it makes me feel less hungry. It gets me through to the next meal. I ensure I plan my meals each day with lots of salad and veg to bulk it out and plan in an end of day treat (frozen yoghurt, low cal…

I saw a big difference in the toning of my neck when I started using a neck toner. The one I have has the brand name Rio (I live in the UK). It's like a Slendertone for the neck and chin. I use it for 3 minutes a day and saw a difference within a few days.

Last night I put 42lb (19kg) of weights in a rucksack and tried to carry it up the stairs. I could not believe I had carried that weight around with me and it gave me a buzz to feel how far I have come so far. It really helped me to push on for my last 8lb. Try it, put 10kg in a bag and carry it round for 10 minutes. You…

I'm 5' 8" and on 1200 calories a day and I still manage some snacks. My favourite low calorie snack is Tesco mini strawberry splits 37 cals, Add me if you wish.

I agree with Edwardkim85, if you can find a class, you are more likely to exercise correctly and avoid injury (if you have a good instructor that is).

I've been going to Kettle Bell classes since last June and definitely see a difference, not only for weight loss, but I'm far better toned. I only use lighter weights (2.5kg and 4 Kg) as I want more of a fat burning session than muscle building. If you can find a local class, you will find you push yourself a lot harder…

I got a set for Christmas. Any recommendations for a good DVD or YouTube video I could follow? Looking at a 30 minute workout to start with.

Look at it positively. If you hadn't have lost the 6lb before Christmas, you'd probably have gained the 6lb and be starting from a higher point.

Hi Chris, I too struggled with no way of heating up food in work. As an alternative to cold boring sandwiches, I bought myself a wide necked thermos flask and I prepare healthy casseroles, chillis, pastas and currys in advance, microwave them until really hot and take them to work in the flask. Great for keeping you warm…

I don't have the book but I've done a couple of recipes off the BBC website. Love the chilli in the tortilla bowls and I too use Quorn instead of mince, not because I'm a vegetarian but because of the lower calories. I've also done the mince beef and potato pies using pizza base mix instead of pastry. Again I used quorn…

I've substituted cola for soda water and I add a touch of natural fruit juice to add flavour. it makes a nice refreshing fizzy drink without the tons of sugar

Hi Courtney, this is a great place to start your weight loss. if you need to weigh yourself and you're based in the UK, some chemists have scales you can use. Before I got my scales, I would get weighed at Boots once a month. It used to cost about 20p.

I did it a few years ago, starting on the treadmill for the first about 5 weeks then went outside. To be honest, running outside was easier. There were more distractions outside that took my mind off the running and I wasn't focusing on the treadmill's control panel wishing away the seconds

I followed the program a few years ago at the age of 45. Before I started I couldn't even run for a bus and I'd never even ran at school. The first about 5 weeks were the hardest and then suddenly I got an energy I've not had before. Within 6 months of starting, I ran 10K for Cancer Research. It really is an excellent way…

Brilliant idea, thanks!. I've got a Wii fit gathering dust somewhere and 'm sure that's got a boxing exercise on it. I'll give it a go.

I will be 50 next year and need to get to my goal weight and stay there. I agree with you, no more yo yo dieting.
