I'll try to be as supportive as I can when times get hard for you, and also could do with a little support myself when I'm struggling :-)

Skip a day if you're so sore you feel like you can't do the workout to the best of your abilities, there's no point getting injured by pushing through. I ached pretty badly too when I first started and tended to do two days in a row followed by a rest day, until the pain got more manageable. Try an anti inflammatory to…

Not for me! I love a good cardio class at my gym, jumping around to music is much more fun than lifting to me, I lift as a chore... it's pretty boring to me!

I met mine by staying in. I needed my phone line fixed and he was the telephone engineer that came to fix it :-)

I'm about half a stone heavier in pic 3 I reckon. By extra weight I mean that, not suggesting i think i'm overweight, just that I could stand to lose a few lbs here and there.

looks fabulous! good for you :-)

These arent really unhealthy in proper portion sizes but I never realised how calorie dense they were muesli dried fruit granola flapjacks muffins

Aldi malted wheats (60g) with warm unsweetened soya milk (150ml) and a glob of greek yoghurt on top (50g).

Cajun chicken salad with pasta melted Stilton and ham salad Spicy prawn and feta salad Salmon coated with breadcrumbs, with stir fry veggies Breadcrumed chicken and salad

That;s great motivation right there :-) Good luck to you, I love running too!!

Thanks so much for the kind words everybody :-) I was so close to getting that appointment today, rang the docotors but when all the lines were busy and I was put on hold, I chickened out and hung up!! gaah On the plus side, I had a very healthy and good day, and definetely don't have any bingey feelings this evening. I…

i'm Laura, 24 years old, in the west mids uk :-)

Yea, I love being 5 ft 10. Used to hate it when I was younger, but now embrace it with heels and all :-)

If you've managed to lose 4lbs in a few weeks, surely it's not the Implanon that has caused the weight gain? I believe contraceptives can sometimes increase appetite/ cravings but they don't cause weight gain by themselves.

I get up at 5.45am for gym three times a week (7ish on other days), I just make sure to get to bed a little earlier the night before. I try not to over think the actual getting out of bed part when my alarm goes off and just do it, if I hesitate too much I can sometimes talk myself out of it and then I feel rubbish and…

Its called 'eating less. Say goodbye to over eating'

Some great advice there, thanks. I like the idea of a distraction plan, and will definetly try and figure one out asap! The fact that you have recovered from this, really helps right now, as I just feel like i'm never going to overcome this and just want to be normal around food so badly. I have bought a self help book…

My body reacts pretty violently, but I also have IBS which is affected by alcohol, and fatty/greasy foods. I try and stay on track most of the time, but always keep some immodium in my handbag just in case!! :embarassed:

I'm in the UK, and friendly... honest :-)

I've been here for two years, but started with this new account this week. No more closed diaries etc for me this time around!

i'm uk too, west mids. Feel free to add me :-)
