Poached eggs are definitely my favourite, especially with spinach and maybe a little salmon. They taste so good. Although I do love a cheese or mushroom omelette. So much better for you a little protein in the morning it keeps you fuller for longer. I really don't start feeling hungry again until 10 minutes before my…

I am on a high protein low carb, so almost paleo, but would love to see some more of your recipes, will try this sheperds pie sounds great. Thanks

I don't eat potatoes at all, and have reduced my carbs, and my weight has been coming off great. Also I have noticed as a diabetic my blood sugar levels have come down to almost normal, therefore I don't need to be on medication. So you can keep your potatoes I won't be eating them again, only lower carb veggies and fruits…

46 here and feel great, I have 3 kids and 2 beautiful grandbabies. Trying to get myself looking fabulous with all this healthy eating and exercise. You all look fantastic by the way :)

It is hard, but it was always going to be hard, and that's the way it is. But just think about how you will feel even when you get half way to goal, and take each day at a time, we all have bad days when we eat things we shouldn't be. Also if you can find exercise that you like doing then keep at it and at some point it…

Hi i'm from Altrincham, Cheshire you can add me too!

Good luck in where you want to be, set all your goals on your profile to help you achieve what you want. Then look at keeping within your calories and start doing some exercise if your not already doing some. Try to use the weddings as your motivation to help you stick to your goals. Eat healthy and clean as much as you…

I checked my bmi and looked at the weight I should be to have a good bmi, but if I feel ok along the way and I'm above that weight then I will stop anyway. I have more of a size in my head that I would like to be, so not too bothered about what I weigh, as I am doing more strength training and exercise now, so am aware…

I would try to reduce your carb intake and increase the amount of protein you eat, also as someone else has suggested try mixing strength training with your cardio workouts. If you don't have weights use bottles of water as weights. Also you could try planks and crunches these will help to tone your stomach muscles, but…

Low Carb, high protein and more strength exercises!

Hi I'm from Altrincham in Cheshire, you can add me to the list :)

Also instead of weights, try using different size bottles of water as weights or tins, I used to do this before I got my own set and it worked great. I'm doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred at the minute that was £5 on Amazon. Good luck

Hi I'm on Level 2, everyone seems to say it's a really good workout, so thought I'd try it. Last week I lost 1.5lbs, but I seem to be toning up nicely especially on my arms and legs, which is good as I have a beach holiday planned for Easter. Good luck keep going it's hard work but it obviously brings the results!

Make them with only egg whites, add banana or fruit and yoghurt instead of cream. Also if you want to make them sweet use stevia instead of sugar.

Any tablet, pill or potion that says you can loose this much in this amount of time is normally a con. Lets face it you get nothing in this life without hard work, nothing is free, or easy. I am 46 and I know over 40 it can be more difficult to loose the weight, I also am controlling my diabetes just with diet and exercise…

You look amazing, you look like a completely different person and I bet you feel like one too. Congratulations and all I can say is that you must have worked incredibly hard to get where you are today. I have about 40 lbs to loose and I will be honest I am struggling, and only loosing 1lb a week, sometimes it makes you…

Hi guys, thanks for all your suggestions, I will try and see how I get on, I'm on day 3 today and have really sore thighs, but I have managed to get through the full 20 minutes with out taking any breaks. It is intense but I hope it will give me a much firmer and stronger body. I like the idea of putting in some extra…

Well done, you look amazing and I bet your health is so much better now. You are definitely a winner in this game!

You could try eating protein for breakfast, eggs, bacon with fat removed, also you can cook your chicken in different ways, try a griddle pan, the meat is super juicy and season it with paprika and a little ground cumin. Roast it with rosemary and thyme. If you have a slow cooker try making a chicken casserole also, any…

J Lo or Beyoncé, both have fab curves in all the right places, plus I don't want to be stick thin!

If you cannot just eat a small portion of sugary things then you need to give them up. This is what I have done, I am trying to retrain my eating, the only sweet things I have are sugar free jelly, low fat yoghurt and fruit, other than that I don't tempt myself, as one taste makes you crave more. So after two weeks…

I am on week two, I started last year and got to week 7 but had to stop due to an injury. I have started right back at the beginning but feeling confident because I know I can do this. Make sure you keep a day of rest between each run it really does help, the pain you described could of been a stitch, you need to try and…

Hi I'm 5'4" and I'd like to reach 135 to see how I feel, then if I need to loose more I will.

Hi I'm 46 would love an invite to join this group :)

You could try a high protein and low carb diet, I started one 4 days ago and I've lost 3.5lbs and 3 inches in that time. I haven't been hungry once as I'm eating three meals and three snacks a day, load of green veg, peppers, onions and mushrooms and plenty of lean meat, fish and low fat cheese, also low fat yoghurts and…

At the minute because I'm being really strict with myself, I either have sugar free jelly or low fat yoghurt, but when I'm not so strict I would have a few pieces of dark chocolate.

Hi hun, looking at your diary, firstly I would say you are not eating enough calories, you need to eat more. Also you should try more protein and low carb, this should give your weight loss a boost. I have just changed my whole eating plan to this so I can increase my weight loss. Keep going and hopefully you should turn…

If you can tell them that you really appreciate that they normally buy you nice treats but this time would they not buy anything as you are going to bring your own food. If they have already done so ask them to put it in a cupboard that they know you will never go in whilst you are there. Whats out of sight is out of mind.…
