Anybody?! :-)

Thank you for your replies, I have just been back to the gym and feel like a fool! The 8 doesn't stand for 8kg, each plate is 5kg, so I was lifting 40kg. My bad!

Great Work :-) :-)

hooray hooray hooray, well done!!!

Hmmm..... I'm really doubting myself now. I shall have to look more closely next time I go.

Everyone can feel free to add me, I'm from UK, 30 years old, trying to lose about 2stone :-)

Ok thanks for that. I guess I just thought as they were suggested as an alternative that they'd be pretty similar. But obviously not, I will try again on my next visit! :-)

I sprinkle half a scoop of vanilla flavoured protein powder onto my cereal and mix it in with the milk. I found it doesn't change the taste much, just makes it seem a bit creamier. I guess that's just my taste though. I have seen you can get flavourless powders, maybe they're worth a try?

Great Idea!

I have suffered with binge eating disorder, one book which changed my life in a big way is 'Beyond Chocolate' by Audrey and Sophie Boss, I highly recommend it. If you want to ask any questions please feel free to message me :-)

Great Job, very inspirational. A great reminder to keep at it!

Try to stop beating yourself up about failing (easier said than done). Just because you've had one bad meal doesn't mean you've failed completely. It's only one meal. I find that it's the all or nothing mentality that fuels binge eating. I have PCOS and have binge eating disorder, if you want to add me and ask any…

Butter that's just come straight out of the fridge so it's too hard to spread on your bread, very annoying!

I use dry shampoo to keep my hair looking clean at the roots, and a spray on leave-in conditioner on the ends. I tie my hair up when I work out, so it doesn't get sweaty at the back of my neck. Then keep it up when I shower so I can keep it out of the water. I have long thick hair which I used to wash every other day, but…

You could ask for some advice from the gym staff, or ask for a session with a personal trainer to go through some things. I think my gym offers a free session when you first join up, don't know if others do the same. I'm doing free weights, mainly dumb bells, I read a few books and looked at proper form videos on youtube…

I didn't feel hungry on 1200 cals, but I got very very grumpy, I was eating back my exercise calories and the scales weren't going down. So now I'm on 1650 cals and not eating back exercise calories. I feel much happier and the scales have finally moved - hooray!

Wow, you look so good, such an amazing difference. Thanks for your story, has inspired me to keep going and not get frustrated with the stalls. Congratulations x

I've had binge eating disorder, but haven't binged for several years thanks to a book called 'Beyond Chocolate' by Sophie and Audrey Boss. It did literally change my life. It you want to know anything else please don't hesitate to message me. xx

Wowzers - so amazing, well done you, what a fantastic story!

Do something you enjoy. Running isn't the only way to get fit/strong/lose weight/etc.

I gained 2lb last week and I ate 1200 calories net every day. I also went to the gym for 4 days and a had a swim one day. I was a little annoyed after putting so much effort in all week, but I told myself that I may have gained some muscle, have water retention from working out (and time of the month) and then I took my…

Wow, well done, amazing!

I noticed it in my face within a couple of weeks, and now 6lb and 6 weeks down the line my mum has just commented that I look less plump. I guess it depends on how much you have to lose and whether you're exercising or not and what type of exercising you're doing.

Hi, I have binge eating disorder but have not binged for several years. I highly recommend the book 'Beyond Chocolate' by Sophie and Audrey Boss. It literally changed my life. If you want to know anything else then don't be afraid to message me! Good Luck!

Hi, I have binge eating disorder but have not binged for several years now. If anyone is really struggling I highly recommend the book Beyond Chocolate by Sophie and Audrey Boss, it literally changed my life. If you want to know anything further about it then please don't hesitate to send me a message.

I'm also 30 in 6 weeks - Valentines Day as well! I'm scared it's not enough time to make a difference, please tell me otherwise!

By shaking I mean, after a workout when I get home, trying to lift the big jug of milk out of the fridge, feeling weak and shaky, I don't get any soreness the next day or day after, yet I struggled to finish my last set. Yet other days I can finish the set easily but don't feel like I've done anything afterwards, until a…
