This is an awesome thread to stumble across. Because of money/time/space restrictions, walking is just about the only thing I can fit in at the moment, it's nice that it's recognised positively.

Thanks for the reply Staci :) I do think we are similar, haha. I think I need to accept that I'm fairly lazy too - studying requires me sitting around for long periods of time, sure, but I'd still rather relax by watching films or nerding about on Photoshop. The pedometer is a really good idea! It's reminded me of…

I can't be completely certain on this, but forever ago there was a discussion on here about looking a less desirable shape although they'd been losing weight and exercising more. Apparently their PT told them that it's common, because as you lose weight you break down the fat so it's physically not as solid, meaning that…

Argh :( Failed 10 minutes into L1D3. Don't feel too physically tired, just mentally, with no attention span. Annoyed at myself but meh, I suppose 10 minutes is *something* and I'll re-do day 3 tomorrow.

Just did L1D2. Oh my WORD those bicycle crunches get you, don't they??? It was easier in the sense that it seemed to go a lot quicker, but harder because everything ached instantly from yesterday. Feeling good though!

Mind if I join? I did day one yesterday. Stats (of yesterday): Age: 19 Weight: 201.6lbs Height: 5'5" Waist: 37" Hips: 48" UK size 18 Completed day one yesterday, really wasn't too bad! I actually worried I hadn't done it properly until I felt the burn of walking up the stairs with my washing basket this morning, haha, arms…

I'm a size 16/18 (UK) and currently 196lbs. People always say I look smaller but I think that's more to do with people not really knowing what people actually look like in relation to certain sizes. People think in terms of skinny, chubby and obese. If you're not stereotypically an extreme of one of them, most people can't…

The Smiths :)

Perhaps a little inappropriate, but when I was tiny my Nan was talking to me about Cliff Richard and I spent the next few days jabbering on about him but replacing the 'ff' with a 't'.... :embarassed: Apparently my parents got the giggles terribly when they tried to correct me which only encouraged me, haha.

I'm in the same situation. I generally drink spirits with a diet mixer over beer or anything creamy. Honestly? I don't log my nights out. I rarely have more than one a week (as heavy as they may be...), if that, and ultimately I know I'm not going to stay in on my own during my only three years at university whilst all my…

I weigh Tuesday mornings. No particular reason why, haha. Once a week is best for me.

After trying & failing for years I've finally decided that the best method, for me, is to just not tell anyone. When my family knew I was losing weight I'd get comments all the time about not eating 'their' food and if I was ever seen eating something but lettuce I'd get a sharp "oh THAT'S on your diet, is it?" A few days…

A few things. Going over 15 stone was one of them, where I'd always been steady at 14 before (still not good but because it wasn't going up at least I didn't care about it going down). Also I started getting chest pains which actually ended up being due to an ill-fitting bra, but it still scared me. I moved away to…

I'm similar - 19 years old gone up to 208 in the five years I've been in a relationship. I'll add you :)

19 :)

I'm glad I saw this thread. I just joined the gym yesterday. I'll make sure to get an induction to lifting next time I'm there. Should I train cardio/strength 50/50?

I'm 19. Have added you :)

Thank you guys for the tips <3 Can I add you if that's ok?

I have the same calorie goal. :) I'll usually eat toast with nutella and some fruit or scrambled eggs and mushrooms for breakfast. Tuna/Chicken/Egg/Cheese salad wrap for lunch (or garlic mushroom sandwiches, yum) Dinner is often chicken fajita salads, jacket potatoes or pasta with onion, tomato, tuna, sweetcorn, mushrooms…
