Ahaaa now this is interesting, I've literally been counting by day and not considering 'weekly' calories. Ok, so save some room through the week for a meal out at the weekend. Cool, I will give it a try! Thanks!

You are all amazing, thank you so much for taking the time to respond! Ok, I think I have a plan... - I'm going to adjust my loss rate to bring me up to 1400, however I'm going to try to keep it as close to 1200 as poss, that way I'm giving myself breathing space but still giving it a shot - Think long term, I do need to…

This is day 10 of being a veggie :-)

Thanks very much! I think my biggest issue will be forgetting whiole I do my weekly shop :) Giving it a shot anyway - glad to hear such positive feedback!

I have added you, I'm not a vegertarian (yet) but I'm seriously considering switching to a vegetarian diet. Can anyone recommend any supplements of vitamins I should stock up on?

Such a difficult situation... it does sound like your mum didnt have the determination that you have and finds it difficult seeing you succeed in a way that she didnt, perhaps she doesnt even realise how awkward she is making you feel. At least you have recognised it - i'm sure if you stick with it and quietly have your…

Thanks guys.... so the plan for tonight is to try on my bikini's and dresses for hols and horrify myself into action haha! I will log everying (the good, the bad and the terrifying!) and force myself back to the gym!! This is helping more than I thought - thanks for the support! :-) btw - I'm off to Tenerife - cant wait :-)

Since January I have managed to (mostly) stick to one night a week. I had to cut out wine as it didnt go well with dieting (i.e. I became a lightweight!) so its just beer now. I do love it though - if I could make 1 thing calorie free it would be beer. :-)

I havent done it for a few days due to a sore back but starting to feel better so I'm going to give it a shot tonight! As long as it doesnt hurt (well, hurt my back!) then I am back in :-) It has actually been horrible not being able to workout properly - I have missed it. Bring it on!!!!

oooh me too please! I keep starting and stopping so hopefully this will encourage me to stick with it! Can I ask a question.... On the days you go to the gym or do some other forms of a workout, do you still do the shred? Thanks! :0)

I'm in! They are the thing I hate most (but need most!!!) so hopefully this will help motivate me! Starting today :D

Thanks :-)

Thanks guys - my issue is more that i really struggle with standing sprints and feel like I am going really slow - sitting sprints I can do much faster. Does everyone have this issue or will it get better as I get fitter?
