Maybe try ticking off your work outs on a calendar and have a mini goal if you complete or even get friends round whilst you work out increase the pressure so that you keep going and keep pushing.

Hi I am 5ft 7" and 24 CW 136 Working out to Jillian michaels 30 day shred and 6 weeks 6 pack GW 125

Don't buy them or buy your least favourite ones. I have really learnt to control what and how much I eat now. I also now look at the calories and fat in the biscuit chocolate or cake and make a decision on if I really do want a treat or if I was just going to have it for the sake of it. To be honest we don't really have…

thanks for sarcy comment on typing error hmmm obviously not got anything better to do with your time

Hi Congratulations on your little bundle of joy! I had a little girl on the 21st January this year and I weighed 14 stone once I had given birth. I now weigh 9 stone 10lbs. I just want you to know it does get easier, I found it hard at the beginning and thought I would never shift the weight. I was always slim before my 2…

amazing transformation!!:smile:

I do some light strength by doing Jillian Michaels 30 ds. I am aware you can't spot reduce (mores the pity!!) So what should I be doing to improve my stomach? Other than crunches sit ups plank. What strength exercises?

that's amazing well done you look fantastic keep it up

Maybe up your calorie intake. I'm 5ft 7 weigh 11 stone 1 and my fitness pal has put me at 1510 based on light activity, I work out 6 times a week 40-60 mins cardio and then currently doing 30 day squat and abs challenge. I try eat my exercise calories back but never succeed fully, so I like you am netting around 1200-1300…

Hi yes it gets easier as you do it more. You will get there in the end. I have had 1 week off from any dvd exercises as I have shin splints. Got back into workout today did level 1 of 30 ds and omg was like I had never done it before I found it really hard even though i had been doing strength exercises all week and…

I really try not to net at 1200 but when I do a lot of exercise and have a really clean food day its harder to net at what mfp has allocated. Mfp set my goal at 1510 no idea what my tdee is as every website gives me a different result. I will give the protein shakes a go where can I buy them from? I live in UK if that…

Scales I have are very accurate I made sure they were before I bought them. I try eat protein but never manage to eat my daily goal of it. Any tips on how to boost it would be appreciated!! I know its a slow process I'm just used to losing something weekly as lost 3 stone on my own before joining mfp. Or at least staying…

diary open now

Hi congrats on weight loss so far. If your losing inches your body is changing, so well done. Yes you could be gaining muscle mass which is denser than fat that could be the reason for weight increase, or increase could just be normal fluctuation. If yiu have consumed a higher amount of salt just before you weighed in then…

Hi ive just recently broken through my plateau after 4 weeks of being stuck. Lost 3lb in last 10 days so im happy as long as scale keeps going down!! The only thing I did to get through it was NOT give up. I kept doing exercises daily but increased it a bit. I vary my length of routine each day so body doesn't get used to…

spirits and diet drinks or slimline tonic

Thanks for replies i do HIIT dvds i.e Jillian. I also do it when walking with pram. Hard to get lots of sleep with 3 month old baby (shes started sleeping through but not every time) I eat 3 meals per day have snack mid morn and mid afty usually fruit or yoghurt. Love spicy food so eat fair amount of it I eat as clean as…

I work out between 7am and 9am i have 2 young kids so this is best time for me. Id rather do it there and then when i get up and once kids sorted rather than waiting until they are in bed at 7pm! Wouldn't want to have to motivate myself every night after long day with kids to do exercise!! I don't eat before unless feeling…

all done :)

Hi im 24 year old mum for uk (yorkshire) Had little girl in January so trying to lose 2 stone by mid august lost 3 stone so far joined mfp 2 weeks ago as weight loss slowing right down (driving me mad!!!!) So 2 stone is about 30 lb right? So same goal same time frame, Thought we could support each other. Im 5ft 7 11stone…

Hey thanks for quick responses add you all now so can't wait to get to know you all better x

Hey this can be a challenge but its not not undoable (if that makes sense?) Id treat yourself but also stick to cleaner foods as best you can. If you go over you go over its one day off right?! You have to have some fun else you will fall off the wagon more often. Also perhaps if you can chose a smaller sized plate that…

wow thats amazing!!! Keep it up look great

You look fantatsic and good for you with that loser!!!! :) x

Yeah good idea il do it! Need a little boost atm as been on plateau for 4 weeks. How much exercise per day/week were you thinking? x

Hi i never did the 30 day shred routine that she set up i just do the dvd each day and mix it up by trying to do level 1 and 2 or 3 and 1 etc etc. If i don't feel like i could complete a certain one i go for a differnt level and do it and if i feel like i could go further on it i do same routine again. I also mix it up…

Holy cow they burn 300 complete thank god for that :)

count me in!!!!

First i just want to say how i admire you for sticking to your healthy eating and exercise!!!! I can imagine being stuck on same weight for 8 months must be very tiedious and frustrating aswell as disheartning. My only advise would be to log everything you are doing and go back to Gp and see if there are more blood tests…
