I love cycling too, I have friends that also told me I'd learn to love running. If it doesn't happen soon, will stick with my other exercise choices. Thanks

This sounds about right, maybe today is just a cr@p day cause I'm aching, I just really wanted to be able to do this.

This!! I am also stubborn and don't like not being able to do something. But from reading comments, think it's time to give it up. if it's not enjoyable, I'll just try something else.

I am trying to change my workout after plateauing for weeks and weeks. People on here suggested setting myself a goal. I thought running was good for me and really wanted to give it a go. I am trying to give it a go, it's supposed to help with my asthma too. I cycle, do circuit training, go to the gym and do a body sculpt…

I'm glad I'm not alone. I can only eat bacon using my fingers, can't use a knife and fork to cut it up cause it tastes different to me and it has to be crispy to the point of burnt and then I spend ages breaking off the crispy fat to throw away. Can't eat fish if the head and tail are still on. Will only eat cheese if it's…

Some photos of me at a party in June. I thought I looked good. I had my nails and hair done. I had lost 10lbs to fit into a gorgeous pink dress and felt really good until I saw the pictures the following day. I looked like a freaking marshmallow and I was the biggest person at the table. I had no neck, it was just chins…

You sound exactly like me!! I gained a lot of weight over a period of a year due to ill health. Long story short, lost a few pounds, gained more back over and over again. & years on and I am nearly at the weight I was on my 30th birthday which is still 36lbs heavier than I want to be. I have been religiously dieting and…

Originally, just from outside of Cardiff, South Wales UK but currently residing in Abu Dhabi, UAE :happy:

Yep me too, working on replacing the flab with abs :-)

Dr Who is filmed in my city (Cardiff) and am a fan too :happy: Started my weight loss journey seriously in June but have plateaued and need some motivation SW: 213 (Feb 2013) CW:185 Feel free to add me

Nearly 5'5" (5 foot 4 and 3/4) Goal weight is 140lbs which is what I weighed when I got married 11+ years ago. Managed to maintain that weight for a while and was Uk size10-12. Would love to be that weight again. Only 45lbs to go :ohwell:

Been doing 5:2 since June, it has been the only diet that has worked for me in 6 years! I don't feel hungry on my fasting days, and I calorie control what I eat the other 5 days as well as exercise 4 days a week. Feel free to add me. :-)

Maybe....That would be perfect as it's in the database. Cheers
