Yay you sound super motivated. GO FOR IT!!

That weight doesnt sound over weight to me. DO NOT listen to your family members, what they are saying is so destructive, especially considering your past. I know its hard and hurtful, but dont allow them to push you down the wrong path. You clearly know in your head that you do not want to return to your old habits, just…

I have a bar of dark chocolate hanging around....1 cube of that kills of my sugar cravings :)

Thats great and its a really cute dress aswell!

My boyfriend really struggles to maintain his weight (might be something to do with the epic amount of exercise he does and a student budget). But he eat lots of eggs and yogurts, milkshakes, nuttela on toast. He also has plenty of cereal bars and big bags of dried fruits and nuts. O yeh and bananas too. And he also drink…

Hi everyone thanks for the replies. It is definitely hard work doing a PhD but it will be worth it. I am hoping I can keep up my routine when i'm writing :/ ... that's going to be the hard bit. Doing the exps is fine as I am in a lab where i cant eat anyway!

I do wraps most of the time, which tuna, or humus in there!! And i have just started with those warburtons thins (like super thin bread), they are only 100 cals so you can put plenty of filling in there. I am eating the wholemeal one. I am not a big fan of bread but i love these. I also like soup, though I do that more…

That lovely slim waist :)

I always work our in the evening and so I eat an hour or so before because I know I lose my appetite!

Around 4 lbs in my first week, then between 1/2 - 1 lb a week since !

Hi, I know what you mean about family influence. My mum was a bad influence, and she was in control of the food shopping. My dad however is super fit and can get away with eating that rubbish. But my dad always pushed me to stay fitter. I hope your new found freedom will be the boost you need :). Feel free to add me :)

Wow you look amazing :). Your pooch has seriously ripped shoulders LOL

I have added you :)

Lovely happy eyes :)

I bet you totally made her day. I do hear a lot of weight related comments flying around, and often wonder what's said behind my back.

My research is in head and neck cancer, which is on most occasions caused by smoking (plus other things). If you saw the tumours that get slapped in front of my every week....you would stop.

Yay what a great confidence booster!

I did my undergrad in Biomed aswell!! I have 1 year left in my PhD in head and neck cancer immunology!! And i am soooo ready to finish!

What a bloody great story! I enjoyed that. I am intrigued about the bare foot running! Have your feet just got used to the rough surfaces? Great job btw!

I am an anxiety sufferer. And I have found exactly the same thing. Dont get me wrong....I have my moments but its so rare now. It is playing on my mind less and less and now I actually think of things i want to go and do, rather than how can i avoid these things!! Its great isnt it!!!!

Just keep drinking lots of water! Eating healthy will already help your concentration! Hope you ace those exams :)

LOL to all the answers. Maybe it was a "put on" walk.

5th becuase it makes your lovly eyes stand out!

To add anouther question....The muscles that run down the side/back....is it lats or something??? I mean when I used to go to the gym, some guys had such large muscles that they couldnt put theres arms by theres side properly!! Does that get annoying, or noticable??

Hi, I'm well up for this. Put me down for 50miles please :). Ill have a go at making this ticker :) x

This iiiiiisssss hilarious. Unless we have some chloroplasts hiding in the back of our eyes this is bull. I reckon he was taking midnight trips to mc Donald's. but I like the alien theory aswel.

I am working my way up to TFEE-20%. I was at 1200 and have been increasing it slowly after reading a lot of advice.

I didn't log on my holiday but tried to remain aware. I ate a fair amount and it was gd. I only put on 1Ib over a week and a half and it gave me the energy to dive straight back in!

NICE that put a smile back on my face :):):):)
