What are diamond sale sit-ups?

I am sorry that hubby is not being helpful... or rather.. being very unhelpful. Is he perhaps afraid that when you loose the weight, you will be too attractive for him? That he worries that you will be so much more attractive to more other men? I know it is silly, but this is men we are talking about :D. Good for you for…

I think many of us have been there... I know I have. But falling of the wagon is not too bad if you then start trying again.! You can do this!! MFP is a fabulous help, just be honest to yourself and log EVERY calorie you eat... it really works!

I watched the first episode, and before I saw that I heard them on the radio when they were being interviewed for their new book. I like the look of their food, and i guess it comes down to sensible eating (why does that sound so boring?!) and sensible portions.. :) As the dietician they saw said: "Yes, a little of what…

(yep, I am at the dreading it stage at the moment!) Inspirational, and I know what it is like to deal with the death of a parent, it takes a lot of energy somehow.. Thank…

Well, I am in Reading, but work in London. Been on here properly (had a dabble first time, and left: bad mistake!) since about November I think it was. Not lost a great deal, YET. BUT.. I have learned about my diet, my pitfalls and my laziness (yes, I am lazy... is partly why I am the weight I am!). My mother's death was a…

I'm a Londoner... in working hours only... I work in Edgware, but live in Reading...!

OW WOW!! You look fabulous!! And I bet that is tricky with 3 kids under 5... so kudos to you for making your exercise time a priority!! Well done you!!!

You look fabulous!!! Good job!!!

Muscle looks very different than fat.. but in the end 5lbs is still 5lbs, no matter wether it is 5lbs of fat or 5lbs of muscle. so you will look different but the weight is the same. This article might help: http://www.everydayhealth.com/weight/busting-the-muscle-weighs-more-than-fat-myth.aspx
