I started on 27th March - so about 10 weeks I think. Around 1.2lbs a week but some were more, some were less, but never over 2lbs. I'm prepared for slow. I'd rather occasionally be able to treat myself - I have a couple of glasses of wine a week and the odd biscuit/chocolate here and there. When I've restricted too much, I…

Thanks all...something I will take from this is....I need to buy more bright workout gear!!!

Glad it's inspired you! I typically net 1,200-1,400 - although a couple of times a week I net around 1,800 when I do my long runs as I just need more energy! There have been a few days over 2,000 but were totally worth it and have kept my mind on track

I had just lost focus and gained. The odd time of not logging turned into a week and bam...weight came on. I haven't really changed too much of the food I eat...more about accountability. I track everything...even days that are not great. This has kept me on track and I still eat chocolate and drink wine -albeit…

Haha. My mum bought them for me as a present a few months ago and I can just get into them now. They are USA Pro I think

I agree it's going to be tough! I'm going to do it slowly I think as I do love my cardio! I have to keep running though in case I get a place in the London Marathon next year...eeek!

Haha - thank you! I like to bring the sunshine inside :)

Thanks! I run 3 times a week, cycle once a week, spin once a week and horse-ride for an hour on a Sunday. I'll also do some bodyweight exercises - although from today I'm adding free weights to tone a tad more before my holiday in September

I use Fitness Blender when I want to do something different....Just Google it its great

I run and cycle each week. For my runs (which are only 7 miles thus far), I eat 2 hours prior but it's personal preference. I feel very unwell if I eat too close to my run - I've tried and failed. Even when I was running up to 13 miles....I was fine eating 2 hours before. However, I cannot run on empty. I am appalling if I…

I agree with the Dr.....I waited a week, felt it was fine, exercised and hurt my foot even more so was then off running for 4 weeks...probably doubling my recovery time. Best to be safe and get it checked over. In the meantime, you could focus more on your upper body/abs so you don't miss working out too much

Look at it this way...that's still 4lbs off in 2 weeks! And that's good going! Keep it up

3 hours of Insanity for charity. I exercise A LOT but that took me to my limit...I was so close to throwing up at the end!

I'm having the same issue with double counting....I've only just downloaded the app too so it seems to be a bug

I am currently undergoing my 4th round of therapy for this exact reason so I feel your pain. I have bad depression and (pre meds and therapy) huge anxiety around knowing calories in food...so much so I used to make excuses not to go out. I would say talking therapy is the best thing I've done. I too found CBT useless as it…

I'd also agree with Nike...I love their running leggings! The ones I want are £80 so I'm using them as a target purchase when I get to my goal weight

Try celeb boutique, vain train, Fabletics or Iron Candi for some funkier pieces. Some bits are a bit pricey. USA Pro have a new range too in Sports Direct...I got an amazing bra-top and Capri in bright orange!

oops - 4 cals off :p

I can burn 1,000 calories in just under 2 hours of running - but I don't do that every day! My "epic days" of a 45 min run, PT session and 20 mins on the stepper normally come in at 800. I'm 5'4" and 145lbs so it takes a lot to burn calories! I get these from my HRM rather than any online system. These still are not 100%…

I have this with home-made chilli - it's like 14 calories for the pack lol

When I get like this I take a few days off of telling myself I have to workout (stick to my schedule) and just workout if I feel like it. In those few days I just focus more on the food. More often than not my motivation comes back within about 3-4 days but if not at least I have given my tired body a break. I've lost just…

Glad I'm not alone! I was glad I managed to select healthy options from the canteen. I could have had fried food or chocolate, a giant baked potato with cheese...but I had a salad with spiced Chicken breast so that's a win.

I can totally relate. I have had depression on and off for 11 years and I thought I had beat it 18 months ago. For 18 months I have felt "normal" yet feelings have been creeping back for a couple of months and then the last 7 days have been unbearable. No pleasure in anything, so tired, no appetite in the morning then…

I ate half a large pizza yesterday, and wine...and cookies...it was delicious and today's a new day!

I'm not this year but have done the 5k and a 10k one before and they are good fun - although my 10k was in 31 degree heat! I love running the Thames - I do it as part of my commute. Up past London Eye, across Westminster Bridge and back down towards the Tower along the North Bank is my fave route

I second going to the Drs...and if it's a stress fracture it'll be a few weekends of no running! I had a very small one and it was 4 weeks before I was running rather than a kind of jog/walk combo! Now I'm back but doing shorter distances

If I need them, i'll eat them! Sometimes, I am quite satisfied with my normal calories but if I've had a mega workout (700cals plus) I NEED to eat more! I actually had to get out of bed last week to eat something as I got SOOOOO hungry I had a headache...but I'd eaten more than usual. I just let my body tell me what it…

I went to Disneyworld last year for 2 weeks and didn't put on more than about 3lbs - most of which was water. I didn't count calories, I was just conscious of what I was eating. I had healthy breakfasts 10/14 days (porridge, fruit & yogurt), then was sensible through the day i.e. just having the burger/sandwich without the…

Thanks guys. It was in London so a few hours earlier I drank loads of water and was actually OK today. I'll be within my calories which is great but not quite feeling up to a workout! Lol

Thanks all.
