  • I really need to be accountable otherwise I fall off the wagon very easily. Need to get my bod back in shape. I have put on 11lbs in the last 6 months and need to shift it all, and some!! - how much weight you have to lose - 28lbs (2 stone) - how much weight you've already lost - 38lbs (2 stone 10lbs) from diet and…
  • Yep, def in! I'm 40 and have about 40-50lbs to lose. I have a few friends on here but a lot of them haven't logged in for months so not getting much support/butt kicking as I need, please feel free to add me anyone on this as I've found before that the more support you have and give each other, the more successful you are!…
  • I have PCOS too! I have always struggled to lose it...no problem putting it on though. I have recently found that completely changing my diet (I know that sounds obvious) has really helped. I have lost 21lbs in 7 weeks with a 5 day juicing reboot and now just eating clean and the weight is still falling off each week, plus…
  • I'm doing intermittent fasting and they suggest eating only for an 8 hour period. I usually break my fast, after workout, around 11.30am and finish eating around 7.30pm. It allows your body time to digest what you've eaten the previous day before adding more food. I don't starve, I eat all my cals and protein. I no longer…
  • Amazing, what a story!! Stay healthy and well and congratulations on that incredible loss, you look awesome :)
  • Wow....amazing, what a transformation. Very inspiring :smile:
  • Hiya. I just found the group today! Someone put me on to Leslie's videos as I cant do Zumba due to an injury. I thought it was going to be a bit crappy and tame, to be honest, but I really enjoyed it and burned more calories than I thought I would! I wanted to find something to do between my weight training and elliptical…
  • There is zumba in my village so I think I'll just go for it and give it a shot. Nothing to lose and as you say if I tell the instructor first, then I wont get shouted at for not doing it right, lol. Im in the middle of nowhere but I have a home gym so will do lots of leg strengthening, but I was told by my consultant…
  • I'm in the same boat as you, back on here today to try and get some new fresh support to keep me going! Feel free to add me :)
  • About half an hour ago, at the same time as you, I posted an almost identical message. I think it's time to get motivation back in our lives! I'll send you a friend request and we can give each other a kick up the *kitten*!
  • Hi!! Am I too late to join? Just back from holiday today and soooo need a challenge! AH2013 - ainehanley9 - Agirlcandream - ashleysteiner - Atoriaz - beattie1 - bird_3_lee - bridgeydidge8 - carolinetayloruk - Facecoach - fitmomma23 - 2 lbs lost (2 down 12 to go) GrumpyDebs - Hitsujikai - 4lbs lost (4lb down, 10 to go)…
  • I did New Rules of Lifting For Women last year, when I was around 14 stone. I lost only 8lbs in weight in a 4 months, but much more importantly I lost 2 whole dress sizes!! I went down to a UK size 14 from an 18 and not far off a size 12. I was in the best shape of my life and regret falling off the wagon. I'm back at it…
  • My husband and I did it for 3 weeks. I lost 3lbs and my husband lost....nothing! We did 4-3 too. I didn't find it hard but I've decided that I'm going to go back to good old exercising and eating healthy instead, it's working out a lot better! I do have 2 friends who have had great results doing it however. Do your…
  • Haha, hilarious!!! Anyway, here is my week (for now) Mon: Stirfry Veg with Singapore Noodles Tues: Quorn Shepherds pie with Sweet Potato Mash Wed: Vegetable Casserole Thursday: Quorn, Veg & Bean Chilli Fri: Pasta Bake That's the plan anyway, however knowing my weeks, it will have all changed by tomorrow!
  • Cheers for that...handy vid!!!
  • Thanks for that!
  • I was just thinking the same...you look younger now than you did 13/14 years ago. Well done you, you look fab!!
  • Fab, thanks!!
  • Hi all!! Just filled mine in for the last couple of days. I'm off tomorrow for the night so may not be able to fill it in for a couple of days. I know you said not to include walks but I take long walks with my dog through the woods and when I wear my HRM it logs about 250 -270 cals on a walk so I include that, I don't…
  • Good on you for logging this! You'll have that off in no time I'm sure. I hope you feel better soon, not nice being ill and trying to eat properly or exercise. Have fun at Zumba!
  • Can I join please?? I need something to keep me going :)
  • You can do it. We're all in the same boat at the moment which is why this has been set up. It's so hard to keep going when the motivation goes, if it was easy we'd all be super healthy! All you can do is the best for yourself! Good luck :)
  • Wow!!! Well done, what an amazing achievement!!
  • Good for you!!! And well done for only putting on 2lbs, that's impressive. Good luck with making the cut, I'm sure you'll see big benefits very soon!! :)
  • Fab idea!!! I'll do that with my water tonight! O.P. - I used to put sticky notes on my screen at work to remind myself to drink. I keep a 500ml bottle with me at all times and always fill it up when it gets to the end so that I'm aware I always need to drink water. I've had 7 glasses already and it's only 1pm. Just keep…
  • You've been a huge inspiration for me Cat over the many months! You have done amazing work and should rightfully be very proud of yourself!!! :drinker: P.S. Please don't leave MFP once you get to your ideal weight though....haha! :laugh:
  • I don't think any of us are comfortable about our (really) fat pics, in the same we that none of us want that time we did something really stupid, rehashed at a dinner party for all to hear. It allows all of our guilt, shame and humiliation to surface and that's never pretty! We'd much rather everyone only ever thought of…
  • Oh yes!! I don't do it at work, but I do on my days off, opposite way round to you! Now though, I'm filling myself up with water, filling breakfast (protein smoothie usually) and lunch. My snack is a Greek yoghurt if I need something mid-morning (after a workout at office gym), and afternoon snack if I need one is an apple…
  • I'm now laughing even harder about MFP automatically censoring the word "s n i g g e r".....hilarious!!! Only the "s" was allowed. Political correctness at it's absolute best!!!! :laugh:
