I'm also in the UK, south east london. I started at 16.5 stone and I'm down to 14stone 10ish - I am tracking more in lbs as it's easier. I am a little older at 40 but that is just a number. I am about 5lb off my first goal of 200 by easter. my next goal after that is a big one of 175 - but I might break that down into…

My diary is open, but I am also in the uk, but I will warn you that my diary does unfortuntaly have a lot of takeway food, my mum is under going treatment for cancer ( it is her third type!) so we end up having to drop our plans and rush off to help her a lot at the moment, hopefully once she has surgery things will settle…

did level 2 day 1 today! the planks are hard, but I think I coped better with this level than i did the first time i did level 1! I had some knee issues which stopped me last month from doing the shred, I picked up from Bob Haper (Jillians opposite on biggest loser) an alternative for the jumping jacks, instead of jumping…

I am a mum of two girls ( 4 & 2) I have a few "issues" with my two - the oldest one is easily distracted from her food, and she can be hard to get focused on eating her food. She had tonsil & adenoids that were way way to big, she had to hold her breath to swallow food. She had them removed at 2.5 even though she was too…

live in south east london, work in central london.

Sorry I have been a little lax in posting, but I have been shredding. Today was the first day I managed to complete all the jumping jacks and I made a strong finish on the last round of cardio with out stopping. Still absolutly hopeless at sit ups......

another PCOS sufferer. It does come off but it takes time. Don't forget if you don't have a huge amount to loose setting your calorie goals to loose 2lb a week is going to be very unlikely to work, the closer you get to your goal the slower the weight will come off. big hugs

I will often use mcdonalds if I have to eat out with the kids because i used to work there as a teenager, so I have a rough idea on how to make it healtheir. I always always place a grill order - quarterpounder - plain or with onions - cos they are raw. I detest ketchup anyway it is always too sweet. I always order fries…

in the uk, I'd check out bravissimo.com - they have about 3-4 sports bras that can accomodate the larger lady, I wear a sports bra over an old nursing bra (no wires to dig in) and can manage the jumping jacks. and mine are KK's!

it is possible to have kids with pcos, I have two girls, but it did take me 10.5 years to have the first one!, this was more a mis-diagnosis as I don't get the cysts so when they did a scan so it kept being dismissed. Loosing weight can be a big help to fertility, as well as avoiding things like alchol and caffine. Good…

I have done level one day one - fingers crossed no knee problems. then I got to play new zumba for wii. my starting weight is 208 but can't find tape so will do measurements tomorrow

sorry not posted an update as my zumba class got cancelled due to no music. I'm doing 30 day shred tonight so will compare it on that. TM

I would like to join in. I treid to do this in march but picked up a knee injury, which caused me to have to drop out, I'll post my measurements before I do the shred. You can pick up a copy of the shred on ebay, play or amazon - mine was £5 here in uk. Good luck everyone. TM

on your home page - if you click on the button marked check in it gives you the option to enter your current weight and then it will automatically recalculate calories. just remeber it doesnt ever go below 1200.

if you don't have a lot to loose - i.e 10-20lb setting your weight loss at 2lb a week will not work. the closer you get to your goal the less you need to plan on loosing and the more you will need to work on toning up. if like me you have 60-100lb to lose then a 2lb /week loss should be achieveable. But definetly crack out…

I have just finished a 6oz aberdeen angus steak with rocket salad and sauted mushrooms, and it was was wonderful.

I am grounded :( Managed to pick up an issue with my knee, even after warm ups. Jumping jacks = instant cramp. Rested for four days, hoping to try modified level 1 tonight. If that works I will stay on level one for rest of lent and then re-assess.

Good luck, remember any improvement is still an improvement, no matter how small. don't forget to keep your water intake up too. I really like the idea of taking as much stuff pre-prep'd as you can - I keep the fixings for a salad in my fridge at work and then make up a plate for lunch, everyone has got used to me doing…

bumping as I am debating pre-ordering it too!

I get up at 6am, but if I try and eat breakfast then I am physcially sick, my stomach seems to take a lot longer to wake up than I do. What I have started doing for the last 6months or so seems to be working. I have a drink water & morning coffee on my way into work. I arrive at work around 8am and I will have some thing…

I love some of the looks we get when we eat out. Pizza - have a friend who is allergic to cheese, so no cheese pizza is a regular thing - and 50% of time they get it wrong. We took the girls to pizza hut for a treat last month and dh ordered large (the one he likes only comes as large - don't you have that!) and I ordered…

if i am going to eat it at home, then I'll ask for it without, they should be happy to supply it in a box on its own. then I'll either use a fork or my fingers, I do put it on a napkin to absorb any fat/jucie that might have come out of it. If I am in the store then I order it in the bun and then just take it out with my…

Sorry trying to post around two small children. I'm taking it to offset the symptoms of PCOS rather than Diabetes. Thanks for all the advice. I'll have a chat with the doctor when i see him next week. TM

it's the unsettled stomach that's troubling me the most, taking it every day for three weeks and it was just getting worse. my stomach has been growling at me a few times today and each time I've needed to make a swift exit to the bathroom, it's bad eneough having to keep going since I am drinking more water without that…

I have quarterpounder with no bun, certainly here in uk, I will ask for my fries and my kids ones with No added salt. They should wipe out the scoop and fry tray and give you fresh hot salt free fries! I always do a grill order as I detest ketchup, so have it plain. Moderation is the key, yes we all know what is ideal, but…

I bought a sports bra at a bravissimo shop last week in a 36k!!!!! they go up to back/band size of 40 although the cup drops to a J or JJ I think. this cost me £30 and came in a choice of 3 colours, they do have a couple of others with slightly smaller cups. they do international shipping as well website bravissimo.com

I've missed two days so it's L1D7 today for me, I did find some of it easier to do today, but weirdly I am getting instant cramp in my left calf as soon as I try and do the jumping jacks?? It didn't happen before so I can't work out what I am doing wrong, it doesn't hurt as much doing the skipping and the butt kicks are no…

well done for keeping up with it, I'm on L1D6! I feel your pain.

well done, it is a great feeling!

now sure what happen last week, thought I had posted my starting weight was ...214lb last week 213 - 1lb this week..... 211.1lb - lossed so far 2.9lb
