I hate those kinds of people, we have a few of them at work. The best thing to do is just ignore it - as long as you're doing nothing wrong then don't worry. Worry about what you are doing, not what other people are. She'll soon be found out. You can also tell yourself that you are better than that, you have something more…

I see these as 3 levels. p90 to start then p90x is a bit more intense next step then insanity after that. p90 & p90x are done by the same guy and I personally think he is a good instructor and keeps me motivated. The guy who does insanity works you a lot harder, makes you work for 3 mins and then 1 min recovery. My mum,…

This is my fave! I used to be a right little leftover piggy, but not anymore. No thanks stale cake!

I've hit the plateau for a while as well. About 2 months. I heard that eating more could help overcome it, so I started eating a little bit more then slipped into my old ways. Still sat at the same weight though and as it wasn't gaining or losing I just kept eating rubbish and only getting to the gym like once a week! I…

Thanks for all the support! I hope you think that my goal is realistic. It is ambitious, but not impossible I hope. Any hints and tips would be great as well as constructive criticism !!

Thanks all. I just wanted to make sure I got my moneys worth out of my gym membership as well as the great results from the home workout programs. If only there was a part-time P90x.. I guess it would have to be something like P180x? haha!

My boyfriend and I started losing weight together. He too fell back into old ways easily and although lost some, it wasn't as much as me. It's only just now when he is having pains in his back and side have returned, he's taking to it again. We started off with cutting down portion sizes (that was so hard, and sometimes…

Tonight I did a cardio intervals workout at home. Really worked me out!! Take simple things like running on the spot, jacks, etc and then do it for a min. However every 20 seconds, step it up a notch. eg, shallow squat for 20 secs, deeper squat for 20 secs then even deeper squats for the final 20 secs (if you can - don't…

I'm just enchanted by all these magical flavours that we don't have in the UK. They sound awesome!

Today is a real kick up the bum day and time to get back on track. My boyfriend is away on business for a week so I have a week to concentrate on working out and my diet as I have nobody to blame but myself. Today I've done very well I think. I have wanted loads of snacks, but I have managed to keep my snacks to a minimum…

Well done Monkeysmum. Looking at the progress as a whole it has been great achievement. I have been hovering around the 11stone mark for a while too and it is frustrating, but like yourself I am only 1 bmi point away from being healthy as well as a few NSV's. Especially the logging - well done :)

Bump!

Monkeysmum, you never know, in your efforts to try and maintain weight you might lose more! I like being optimistic!

Monday was not good. I had a bad day at work, I heard something that nobody wants to hear so I was annoyed and upset so I slipped into my old ways eating lots of junk food. Whoops. Today is a new day though. Feeling like I can get back on track and start again.

I've signed up for a few Xmas challenges to keep me busy and for more support. I still want to know you guys are doing! Don't get disheartened nelski, the last 10lbs are always the hardest. Just got to keep on at it!

Well I'm happy. My weigh in today showed that I have lost that 3lbs I put on when I went away for a long weekend. I'm now 154 lbs or 11stone - woo! It's a good way to end September. I may not be as fit as I wanted to be by October, but I have learnt a lot and I am going in the right direction.

It does have a chest strap and picks up reading well when I'm not near the gym equipment. The second I go near it though it seems to mess up. Its a Beurer PM 45. I'd never heard of the brand before!

My HRM is some random brand I've never heard of (it was a present from my parents) and whenever I go near the machines at the gym, if my HR is something around 160, it will show as 160 on the machine, but my watch will say something like 50! I think it's a bit nuts. Not sure if it is the HRM or the technogym equipment…

Of course shopping counts as a workout. The more you shop the tougher the workout too! Congrats on your NSV! Getting into tight jeans is a great achievement. I am still wearing the same jeans that I was when I was 33lbs heavier. Curse my thunder thighs!!! My day was good. Full of temptation and I thought I would give in…

Yes! What is the make & model of your HRM? I have always logged my progress by my HRM thinking it was accurate as it knows my weight, age and height. Then one day it said after a 50 min workout it said I only burnt 150 calories. Most of it was on the treadmill at the gym at a known pace. I checked on here and I should have…

I have had cravings all day for everything! Though I somehow seemed to be under my goal which is a nice surprise. I think I need to lose a stone by 10th Dec as I am going away to Germany to see the Christmas markets for a week so I an enjoy myself. But I will be back on track from the day I'm back!

I would love to lose a stone. If I can achieve this, I can really enjoy Christmas!

My friend told me about spoonfedsuppers.com. I don't know how good it is yet, I have only signed up for the free daily emails, but it could give you free daily ideas and it will also send through a free shopping list on what to buy each week for the meals.

Mines just puts a smile on my face.

Happy Tuesday everyone! I feel good about today. I have been working out well for the last 2 days with a good burn and I've been doing much better on the eating front. I changed my calories down from 1500 back to 1200 and I have found that easier to stick to oddly enough. It's only one week until october is here and I am…

Hello I'm from the Uk too on the 'sunny' south coast! Feel free to add me!

I love the rowing machine. I defiantly agree that Concept 2 are the best. Just keep note of your technique so that you get the full benefit of it!

Exactly this. Great for getting the anger out!
