Skint and little time with three kids so here goes 30 mins of Jillian michaels "fit in 30" or alternative "shed and shred" once or twice a week run/jog 40 mins twice a week Mix things up by doing free classes from fitness channel e.g. Tae bo (45 mins), BoB Harper (45 mins) once a week Total 4/5 times a week exercise…

Yummy Mummy alert, whoop whoop, congrats to you not on your weight loss, because you were just as beautiful before, but for realising you can do all this without a donut like the ex.

I hate my stretch marks over my boobs and tummy, but hubby doesn't seem to care, similarly to what others are saying he's just happy to get the clothes off. :wink:

Similarly I was loosing steadily since feb at 1200 and exercising 5/6 times a week, eating back cals, but have plateaued. Quite frankly got sick of feeling so darn hungry , snappy and tired. Likewise I am scared to increase cals, but have read some interesting articles and FATTO FIT RADIO suggests tips for preventing…

Thanks guys, I eat a lot of protein my monitor always tells me I'm over count, but I find its the only thing that satisfies my hunger, and can't give this food up. Also I had been eating back my exercise cals, in fact its when I haven't this was the week I hit plateau and thought stuff this I'm gonna eat. I've changed from…

Had " the look" (raised eyebrow) this weekend when I treated myself to ice-cream with blueberry pie ( I've worked bloody hard this week with exercise and calorie control), just said "great isn't it ...and I'm still loosing the pounds each week", as she helped herself to what was perceived as a naughty second helping of one…

Watched a programme on this argument the other week, they had two diet groups one cutting out dairy and one enjoying a balanced daily intake of cheese, yogurt, milk etc. They even measured fat in poo (YUK) as well as short term and long term weight loss. They compared this over other longterm studies and guess what…

Yep same here, but I do now fit comfortably into by busty bra no bits spilling over, and went down to an f cup this week hurrah! Guess no one happy with what we given, but ladies if the boobs are healthy, then I guess this is a whole lot more important. Happy health:smile:

ARE U ALL MAD......give up chocolate? Never never never, dieting is hard enough without the odd treat. I count mine into my calories purposefully, and found that by NOT restricting myself to giving up chocolate, I didn't actually eat it everyday, well not as much ha ha. Reverse psychology, the more you tell yourself you…

When you volunteer to drive everyone to the pub, and then drink tea.........ye:laugh: s TEA! OMG I AM SO SAD!

Must admit I never weighed myself until a comment from my father said I looked fat and pregnant (charming, although slightly at the higher end of my bmi I considered myself healthy). That spiralled into me getting fit and to loose weight. I have become a bit obsessed with the scales and weigh daily, a drop from 2/3 times a…

5ft 7 thigh 21in calf 13in cw 133llbs good thread!

First off I don't have an ED, so forgive me if I'm way off track, but the way I understand it having OCD (since a child) is that The Mind is super complex and thoughts can become distorted, usually by traumatic events or confusing events which the mind tries to rationalise. All I can say is that no matter how rational an…

YAH to good forum form............sadly I think a lot of people revel in causing a stir. People will be people, and must admit I was quite taken aback by the number of fat egos I found reading community threads. Seems to me there is an abundance of bullies ( low self esteem and a tactic to make themselves feel better,…

"bumping uglies" or "Belly bopping"

That's called adding weights!

Enjoy your treat day just don't go stupid crazy overboard, I've cut out alcohol which makes a big difference for me so I don't feel so bad if I eat more chocolate, or have the odd takeaway. I struggle with being good on the weekend but have found it hasn't decreased my loss for the week. Good tactic, if your out with…

Following this as similar scenario, going from 1200 to about 1400 presently and seeing how this goes first off before increasing anymore. Does any one know how to set intake for 1400 , without the exercise allowance increasing it. I want to log my exercise but when I do it automatically increases my calorie allowance.

Hi there, don't be afraid to come off them. As a comparison (I know we are all different ) but I lost a similar amount per week eating at 1200 cals and eating back my calories with exercising similar amount per week. I went from eating whatever I wanted no calorie counting and no exercise to eating less doing more and have…

So maybe check out a site like fattofit , get your daily intake from their calculators and stress a little less with the whole calorie count thing. I've personally found calorie counting opened up my eyes about what and how I was overeating but once you start it can kinda take over and get a bit obsessional. Think once you…

Ha ha, just get fed up when you read some posts sometimes with very passionate arguments that everyday activities such as cleaning and childcare don't count as exercise, and I shouldn't eat more if I've completed a hectic houseclean. Like the gym is the only answer !!! Depends how often you do them I guess. No childcare…

Know what you mean, just building up to go for first jog in a year, Its true I also find it intimidating running, especially past groups of lads or building sites, so try and avoid public roads, or go out at night. Best I've seen though is a group of lads hanging out their car window curb crawling and wolf whistling a long…

Hi guys Try reading Trinnie and Suzzane (may not have spelt correctly), they give fab advise on how to dress for your body shape. Before reading their book I thought there were only three standard shapes, apple, pear and hourglass. This gives some fab ways to determine your shape and how to make the most of what you've…

Its tempting to drop to 1200 for a quick fix and yes it has worked for me 5ft 7 was 11st currently 9.13st, I exercised and ate calories back, but I can tell you that I have been MOODY HUNGRY OBSESSIVE in calorie counting and guess what MY PERIODS DID STOP. Will you loose weight?....Maybe.... will you feel great? I didn't.…

Ha ha thanks, but seems none of us happy with our shape. Too scared of the knife, but maybe an option, in the uk on the nhs you have to prove eligibility. I do get terrible back problems and arm tingling from straps digging in, so a possibility. Would love a natural way to tone though, it seems no matter how much I…

Well jealous :sad:

I have loose skin (not massively ) from three children which has taken its toll over my body. CW 139 I feel firmer when standing (doing the jm fit in 30 and shed and shred for about 2 months) but similarly see loose skin say if doing the plank or something. I've come to accept that with stretch marks and stress and tears…

5 ft 7 CW 139 GW 130 I am just a stupid shape Hips 35 Waist 29/30 Chest under boobs 28 boobs 40 Would love to know how to reduce the boobies.

I think the idea of saving a calorie allowance for this in advance may help if this is a genuine hunger time. Maybe make up a healthy graze box in the morning add the calories to your food diary straight away and its accounted for. Do you get up late? Work shifts? Your body clock may think this is a normal time to eat for…

Hi, I have the problem of ridiculously big boobs and small bottom half. I've lost a stone and its coming off my tum (great), although my chest size has shrunk in inches on tape, i'm still only fitting into same bra size 34 g. Even though bra fitting guide indicates I should be 34dd. I would love to know this answer as my…
