  • At work a friend comes up to me and says "I didn't recognise you, I was wondering who the new skinny person was"
  • I am physically and mentally the healthiest I have ever been. What started as an experiment into calorie counting turned into a life style change which includes regular runs, lifting heavy, giving up sugar, drinking more water, well balanced meals which have all resulted in me being much happier. I am not the lightest I've…
  • For the month of June I have given up sugar (wish me luck -I think I'm a little addictive), so will have to take that one day at a time. But Just for today I will ensure that I will drink 2l of water.
  • The plan is great for building up your bodies ability, but most importantly your confidence in how far/fast you can run. Interval training (ie. running/walking) has been found to build up your fitness fast. Week 5 is the tough one; google it and you'll find heaps of advice, as well as lots of friendly advice on here I'm…
  • You look fantastic, you can really see the difference. Way to go! P.S. You've got a sexy hour-glass figure going on :smile:
  • I'm an in the closet lifter too. Not that I really hide it (I work out at my work's gym), but the only person who has been supportive is my husband; and he's been great. He even bought the weights and developed a program for me as he used to lift weights. He's also acts as my personal trainer pushing me till I tell him…
  • After a very hectic week eating wise (very embarrassing food diary), I found an old dress that I wore to a friends birthday drinks. It was a size 10 (smallest I own) -and it was baggy! Although this had the downside as it was baggy around my boobs, so it was less flattering than it should have been, but still baggy size 10…
  • Awesome job! Keep it up.
  • I have a weird dent at the top of each thigh. Does anyone else notice weird dents/body shapes when they loose body fat? I only noticed as I was walking to the gym it's when my leg that I have the weight on is just moving behind me there is a dent about and inch and a half below my hip. Later that night I realized that it…
  • How on earth did you manage that? I commend your will power it's much higher than mine.
  • Oh I so needed this thread I'm just like you. I need to change my evening work out to the morning, otherwise after the work out I just can't get to sleep in time to get up on time for work. Major hassle, but the prospect of waking at 3:45 to go to the gym just doesn't appeal to me. At this stage though my motivation is…
  • You only fail when you fail to get back up, and you sir have certainly not done that. Each time you have stopped (or even reversed) you have started again. That is not a failure that is a success. When I find myself off the band wagon of whatever I'm working towards I just say to myself that I have a choice to make. I work…
  • I love all of these, especially as it goes to show that the number on the scales isn't the be all and end all. Great work everyone you should be proud of yourself. Well after my low day yesterday I have two new NSVs. 1. In the work gym a co-worker came in to get some water and said she was impressed at the weight I was…
  • I've had a few recently but really feel the need for motivation today. So to let all of you guys know and to remind myself here there are: -Started lifting weights a little over a week ago. Have been pushing myself to increase my strength so tomorrow I will be bicep curling 5kg! Big improvement for me who has always had…
  • Fantastic work. Be proud of yourself you deserve it.
  • Awesome job. I'm like you and I'm sure I'll go over today (I've already had 4 cupcakes today) -don't judge. But log everything. Log everyday.
  • I know the feeling, I ran in shorts, in day light, outside, and past busy coffee shops for the first time last week. OK so I was still a little self conscious, but that gave me the motivation to make it all the way down the road and turn the corner before I let me self slow to a walk.
  • Fantastic! Looking great.
  • I got called chubby from my husband, well my pre-weight loss self did. We were talking about a friend who wants to loose weight and he said "It was ok when you were chubby, but now she'll just be too sensitive if you talk to her about it." He had never said anything about my amount of fat before and I didn't really…
  • Congratulations that's fantastic!
