I have a red "Gleek" t-shirt that I havent worn since I bought it since it was always too tight and a bit uncomfortable and yesterday guess what? Fit great with a little room to spare! Cant wait for more victories like this. My next goal is my jeans that I havent fit in to in well over a year!

I try and fit a work out or exersise in wherever I can. Walking home from work (2.3 miles), taking the stairs instead of the lift, going for a walk at lunch, crunches in the morning and at night, running after work etc. I also try and step it up on the weekend by going for a longer jog than I would during the week. Its a…

Great article and very helpful!

Me:8 LNS:2 The hard part is going to be this weekend, thats where I lost points before!

Morning guys! Another night and I resisted the urge to snack Me7: LNS2

so glad you posted this! I've given up beer at home in an effort to help get rid of this tummy, but I'd still like to have a couple when I go out rather than just sticking to Vodka and Slimline Tonic (sometimes you just need beer lol) Oh and yes I am a girl, but I still like a beer ad much as the next bloke :laugh:

Sounds great! I've mostly been wanting to tone up and fit back into my Lee Jeans that I havent been able to squeeze in to in well over a year! I'm In! I'll pop back this evenin with my measurements :)

Judging by the pics on your profile there is no way you look overweight and limiting yourself to so few calories will harm your body. If you want to get in shape and eat healthy then this is a great place to be for all the support and motivation, but you wont find peple here starving themselves. All the people I've spoken…

I was just about to write a post about this! Seems like every other day someone has brought some dougnuts or sweets for the whole office and leaves them in the kitchen. Usually I can resist by just not going to the kitchet (except for the odd krispy kreme as a treat) but today my boss bought me 4 bags a haribo to replace…

Hi Carna, I'm from London too and also a fan of the mighty arsenal! I'm about an hours walk from the Emirates :happy:

I used to have such a habit at snacking at night time, usually right before bed. It would be crisps or toast or crackers with cheese on. I'm trying to kick the habit by making sure I have a bigger portion of dinner than I uaually have and eat at around 8. That usually keeps me full until I go to bed. Failing that if I'm…

reat job everyone keeping in the black! I'm getting better at resisting the urge to snack at night too :happy: Me:6 LNS:2

You're still in the lead though Shirley! dont let LNS get in front!

I say to myself "What would you rather have? A bikini body or those crisps/beer/snack food" Usually does the trick :happy:

Wow lulabellewoowoo you're doing great! Last night I stuck to my guns, had dinner at 8 and then no snacks afterwards :happy: Me 5/ LNS 2

Thanks for updating us on what happened. After hearing about how she behaved during dinner it definitely sounds like she is uber jealous of your progress and wants to bring you down to her level. If it were me I dont think I could have had your self control, I probably would have said something like "Enjoy inhaling your…

I used to jog a fair bit last summer and was getting to the stage where I could run for an hour without stopping. I stopped going over the winter though as I was finding it diffucult to get motivated and go out in the cold and dark. I started back up on the weekend though and just did a short half hour run to get me back…

I'd ignore her childish comments and just revel in the fact that you are on the way to loving your body again when deep down it sounds like she hates hers and wants to bring others down to her low self esteem.

Awesome post and I totally agree. Some mornings I wake up and literally cant be bothered to do anything more then drag myself out of bed and veg on the sofa, but other times when I wake up feeling refreshed after a good nights sleep and no alcohol the night before I was up ready and rearing to get out the door and go for…

Went for cocktails with a friend on saturday night and she instisted on getting something to nibble when we got home :grumble: Last night though I managed to resist the urge Me/4 :LNS /2 Hoping I can make it to the end of this week with no LNS! :drinker:

Great question. For me I'd say the mirror and my clothes. I'd like to be able to sit in my old jeans without it squeezing my tummy so tight!

I love the idea of this group especially as zombie movies are my favourites! I went for a jog on my usual this morning for the first time in a couple of weeks and was shocked at the amount of times I had to stop for breath and a rest! I'm aiming to get back to running for the full half hour without stopping once and when…

I cant give up fizzy drinks, I get such a massive craving! but instead I've swapped regular coke for coke zero which tastes EXACTLY the same and has 0 calories. I get my fizzy fix without the massive sugar intake :)

I've sent a friend request. :) I've only been on these message boards for a couple of days but they've been great motivators!

Hey all I managed to resist the snacks at the house party, but I picked up a packet of snack a jacks on the way home. Doh! Not as bad as my usual snacking habits but i am trying to kick the LNS :blushing: Me 2: LNS 1

This morning my boyfriend paid me a compliment and said he cant wait to see me in belly tops in the summer :smile: That enough motiviation for me to get a flat tummy by then!

Day two and going strong Me1 : LNS 0 Was helped by the fact that I was out at a Jaguar Skills gig and was too busy dancing to think about snacking :happy: I'm going to a friends house party tonight though where I'm sure there will be snacks galore! going to try and resist them after 9pm!

I usually have half a toasted bagle with Lurpac Light . Not the healthiest option I know but its quick and certainly an improvment from when I would have a whole bagel with butter and cream cheese!

Is it bad to say I'm doing it for myself? I dont have any kids and and heart desease isnt something that runs in my family, neither is diabetes or other weight related problems. I'm doing this because I want to feel confident, happy and proud of my body like I used to and just improve on my overall health.

I gave up crisps for lent last year which was much more difficult than I imagined! I substituted crisps for things like Snackajacks, ryvita (tried those ryvita mini bites but they werent very nice!) nuts and mini pretzels. I wasnt watching my weight last year though so some of my substitutions might have actually been…
