Thanks for all your responses. To answer some questions... I haven't had pain running outside before but then I haven't on a treadmill before either tbh. I also read the article from running world and so far the advice has been spot on. I think I will try a very gentle run tonight and if the pain flares up again stick to…

I find that I have to put control measures in place because I can't trust myself not to make bad choices (I absolutely love all food, good and bad). I never buy chocolate/crisps unless it's for a specific purpose (kids packed lunches sometimes) and when I am at work I take lunch and leave my purse at home so I can't go to…

Yes please!!! I am going on holiday on 26th Aug and need to boost my very slow and often no existent weight loss journey!! Just started being really good again so hopefully this will help me stay on track. It's is, however, my birthday on 3rd Aug so haven't decided how to cope with that one...damage limitation before and…

That's amazing - I started losing weight in Feb but then seemed to drift off and never quite got back into it. If I had kept it up perhaps I could be 52 lbs lighter. I'm so cross with myself!

I find planning helps me. If I make sure I have loads of chopped carrots, celery, hard boiled eggs etc. in the fridge and then I am more likely to eat them if I think I'm getting hungry. If it wasn't ready prepped then I would probably go for the chocolate bar instead because it's quicker and easier. The other thing that I…

Great job, you can really see the difference! Can you tell me, what do you do in the mornings before your kids wake? This is pretty much the only time I could exercise but need to put a plan in place. My husband leaves for work at 5.15am (so I could get up then) and my kids start to wake up about 6am. Any ideas?

Please can I join in I need some motivation xx

I love them but use one egg to one banana and the banana goes like sugar syrup

What an inspiration! Please add me - I need motivating!! I am 5ft 4" and 181lbs and would like to lose between 30 - 40lb, not sure exactly how much as I haven't been that light for such a long time! x

Incredible, you have done so well!! You really are an inspiration especially showing all your pictures. Time I got back on it and took a leaf out of your book!!

I am hoping to lose 28lb but am struggling with getting motivated to start - getting back on MFP is a good start I guess.

Hi I'm 37 and 5ft 3", I am now 178 lbs and want to drop 25 - 30lbs by my birthday which is in August. I did lose 21lbs last year but have put most of it back on (as has my husband) due to laziness basically! I need to change my lifestyle, get off my back side and drink less alcohol. Feel free to add me, I need all the…

I am on day 3 of week 1!! At the moment I am finding ok, but I am dredding week 4!!! Good job, keep on running!!

Oh my gosh you have all done so brilliantly!!! I have two young children, my husband works away and I work full time so have been really struggling with getting any time to exercise. My parents also work full time so baby sitters are scarce. I have just bought a treadmill and today is Day 1 of shifting some weight! You are…

You know what to do lovely lady. Without going in to too much detail I lost my baby daughter a couple of years ago which let me to drinking way too much too regularly and 'self medicating' (a polite way of saying it) and I had to give my self a kick up the back side, take a deep breath and go to the doctor and tell him…

They are great results! I have the DVD in a cupboard, I did the first 5 days about a year ago and then lost track! I would love to see your before and after photos! There is a tutorial on this page somewhere x

Hi, I think you were probably about the same size that I am now - just wondering how much you have lost and how you did it? I am struggling to keep motivated and keep making excuses about work and kids and not having enough time to excercise!! You look amazing by the way - a real inspiration! X

Hi all, my name is Jennie, I am 35 and live in Staffordshire in the UK. I work full time although am currently on Maternity Leave and have 2 children (12yrs and 15 weeks) and a wonderful partner called Joe. I was always a skinny child but started slowly putting weight on when I went to university by partying and eating the…

I am exactly the same!! My other half isn't bothered that he is overweight, he is very tall and plays rugby so it goes with his 'image' (yawn!!!) and my 12 year old son is super skinny naturally so it's just me in my house trying to stick to the healthy eating and excercise! I am in serious need of motivation too so please…

I am not an expert but when I did slimming world a couple of years ago I am sure that the group leader said it was important to eat all the healthy A's and B's, something to do with combining food types and digestion...check on the SW website. I honestly think sometimes that if you try to take shortcuts by not eating…

And you are a real person, not just an advert for some dodgy diet pills!!! Well done, you must be sooo proud. I am definately more motivated now! Thanks for sharing x
