Wendy is a varient of Wanda which is German in origin and means "Slender Young Tree".. My name is Orla - an Irish name which means "Golden".. Considering I've black hair and very pale skin - I'm not sure where the golden comes in!! LOL....

Not so bad.. No heart disease or high blood pressure here at all.. I just wonder why when other people crave chocolate, I crave salt? Everyones different I suppose!!

Haven't found one yet.. Eekks.. Into my 40's now and haven't even been in a relationship in over 10 yrs. Think I'm at that age where my friends are all married with young families so not much social life going on. Plus into horses, so spend so much time with them I probably don't have time for a man on the scene!! Am…

After a number of snoozes, up, shower, downstairs to give dog her medication, clean cats litter tray, out the door to work. Arrive in work, make a cup of tea and then log into MFP!

My dad passed away 14 yrs ago from cancer. He was my rock. I had a great childhood. Me, my brother, my mam and my dad. I'm very like my dad. Slow to anger, but god help you if you're around if I do loose it!! I got pregnant at 20. My mother was devestated. My father was my rock. My world went mad, but my dad kept me safe..…

You are all stars.. And the rest of us will be stars soon!! We are on the way to being stars... Just need to boost the exercise.. Thanks for the tips everyone!!

Double post!! Sorry

Still here!! Neck way too sore to move much yesterday so no Shred. Plan on Level 2 Day 1 this evening!! Didn't do a measurement as I don't feel a difference yet so don't want to disappoint myself and loose motivation. So holding off the measurements and weighing until I finish the 30 days. Have missed one day, so going to…

Dublin, Ireland here.. Not that far from you!!

Wow! What a motivational and inspiring story.. All I have to do is loose 35lbs.. Thats nothing to what you did.. Fantastic story.. You deserve to be so proud.. Bet your son is one proud man.. His dad is "the man"!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

Did my Day 10 Level 1 yesterday evening (Wed). Then went out riding my horse and promptly fell off!! So today I've a sore right *kitten* cheek and very sore neck muscles..!! And I'm meant to start Day 1 Level 2 today!! Eeekkkkkk... Am going to give it a shot.. Although I'm getting the impression that Level 2 isn't "fun"!!…

Sorry - but that is just so funny!! Lol.... Baked vegetables give me serious wind!! I have full blown conversations with my cats, my dog and my horses.. I also have imaginary conversations on my drive home from work.. If I've had a bad day, I'll "argue" out the problems with the person (who isn't there!!) and will have all…

Mmmmm. Can see what he meant!! Lol!!

Oh these are so inspirational.. Thanks for posting everyone.. Will have to print some of these out and post them up around me.... Thank you guys!!

I've tried twice to start C25K. And both times it killed me.. I just cannot keep running for 1 minute.. The first week just kills me.. The thought of trying to run for 90 seconds the 2nd week, just keeps putting me off.. But reading all these posts is making me think maybe I should just keep at it.. I've done a week of the…

Ok, completed D7 L1 yesterday (Sunday). Weighed myself this morning to find I am 1 lb heavier than when I started.. Thank god I spotted the post that said this happened to someone else and that they had lost 9lb by the end of the 30 days. So no more weighing for me. I do feel a little more toned - but not sure whether I'm…

Keep going.. Day 2 was my worst day.. Was so sore after Day 1, I could only manage 3 press ups!! Thought I'd seize up on Day 3 - but surprisingly Day 3 was easier. So much so, I actually think I may be able to get to Level 2 on Day 11... Now, might be a bit ambitious - but I was so happy with Day 3 its seriously motivated…

Definitely convinced. My butt so needs help.. And your butt is just wow.. Started the 30 day shred this week. Might just start the C25k next week and do the two together. Have started C25K twice now, but feel like I don't progress - find it so so hard to run for 1 minute.. But having got through Day 3 Level 1 on the Shred…

My weight is kinda all over. My face is heavy, its on my back right at my bra strap - so need a bra to hold up the bits the bra strap squeezes out!! Also serious love handles and a bit of a belly. Belly not the worst thing at the moment. If I could loose the upper body weight during this shred, I'd seriously feel I'd…

Ok, completed D3 L1 last night and I was happily surprised to find I wasn't as sore as I thought.!! So the pain does go away.. I found D2 L1 the hardest so far. I can actually see that I may get used to Level 1 and not find it so impossibly hard!! Yippee !! Really motivated now to keep it going for the 30 days. Am away for…

Count me in!! I'm on Day 3 today. My muscles are screaming at me. Cannot go up or down a stairs!! Finding it hard, but because it's only 25mins it is do-able.. Wondering if I'll ever manage to get to the next level. Finding Level 1 a killer so far!! Have my measurements somewhere - will post them up. Nice to have some…

bump..

What a relief!! I'm only starting my C25K programme and I've also started the 30 day Shred. Oh My God - I'm wrecked. I was wondering if I had something physically wrong with me.. I am totally puffed by the time I've completed W1D1 / 2 / 3 on C25k. So I'm doing week 1 again, cause I just couldn't boost it a level.. I'd have…

What is it today?? Everyone seems to be loosing years aswell as pounds.. You are so different in your current pic. Keep up the good work... You've motivated me, for sure Congratulations!!

Oh My God!!! The pic of your face before and after.. I've been 10 mins looking at that thinking - is that really the same person?? You now look like your old self's younger sister.. You've seriously lost years aswell as pounds.. That pic has given me huge motivation.. Fantastic job... You look fabulous!!

AAaahhhh. Ok. Heard of Macaroni & Cheese alright. Thanks for that!!

You look fabulous. A real inspiration!! Congrats on the new you!! Donate the clothes. They are just a reminder of the old days - that ain't you anymore. P.S. Am Irish, living in Ireland - have no idea what KD is???

Great post. Am contemplating starting C5k, but keep using excuses to put it off. Am convinced I'd never do it. This post has definitely given me a boost to just go for it.. Thank you!!!

Okay!! I'm back to day one again!! Caved last night and had a few cigs.. So starting again today with a vengence. I'm doing this even if it means I have 10 day ones!! Changed my morning routine this morning and I think that helped. Plan to change my routine this evening too and even head to bed early and read a good book.…

Delighted to have found this thread!! This is day 1!! Finished Allen Carr's book last night and haven't smoked since. Handling the cravings ok. Keep talking to myself insisting that the craving is just the nicotine monster trying to get me to smoke to stop him dying!! Lol!! If the people beside me here in work could…
