I'd love to be in a team if anyone will have me :) Really need some motivation at the moment, and I think this will be great .

Fantastic! Well done. And it's amazing how much easier it is to go on to running the next mile. I remember it took me about 2 months to do my first mile non-stop, but then after another 2 months I could run 5 miles non-stop. Just keep thinking I can do it and remember how well you've done and that will keep you going.

I try to stick with gin and slimline tonic or a straight whiskey (I always sip whiskey so it lasts quite a long time). These are about 60 calories a drink. Recently though I've also started alternating my alcoholic drinks with water or a diet coke so I still have a drink in my hand when I'm out, but I'm not wasting my hard…

I have the same problem. My husband often works nights so we eat early then he goes out at 7 and i'm alone the rest of the night and found myself picking and snacking. Now I've taken up knitting which i can do whilst watching TV or listening to music, but it keeps my hands busy and because I'm concentrating on that I'm not…

Don't have kids PBM is bored at work

Not really. I prefer phone calls. PBM: likes Zumba

i usually have granola with low fat yogurt and fruit (usually dried apricots or banana). I even have it on the go when I';m in a rush. I put it in a Tupperware box with a plastic spoon and then eat it on the train to work. At weekends I have poached egg on toast , or omelet with mushrooms, both of which are really filling.…

My goal weight is 140lb. I have a lovely pair or jeans that I bought when I was last that weight and my goal is to fit back into them. They've been packed in a box under my bed for years, but now they're hanging up in my wardrobe as a reminder every day of what I want. I'm 206 now so 66 lb to go. I have mini goals in…

I'm 25

I'd say get your favorite altered, and if you've spent a lot on the rest and are worried that chucking them will seem like a waste of money then sell them on ebay. My friend sold quite a few dresses etc online that were too big for her and managed to make about £160. So... no temptation of "it's ok if i got up a size as…

Well done - posts like this really inspire me & show us that it can be done! Fantastic achievement :)

I used to hate running, but I couldn't afford the gym so it was the most effective, free form of exercise i could do so I started running. I think what I hated was how bad I was at it, and what other people would think of me running. Because I'm not thin and I wasn't very good I kept thinking that people would laugh at me…

I'm up for giving this a go. Will be a good motivator as I try and get back into running again. Weekly Goal: 3000 Mon: 1 hour badminton: 420 calories I 20 minute walk at lunchtime: 103 calories = 523 calories today Tues: calories burned (how they were burned) Wed: calories burned (how they were burned) Thur: calories…

Sign up for it. I was in the same boat last year when I did my first 5k. I was averaging about 40 minutes for a 5k and was worried about being one of the last, but on the day with the crowd and my husband cheering me on I did it in 33 minutes! I'd picked someone in front of me who I thought was about my speed and decided…

Hi would love to be an accountability friend. I'm looking to lose about 70lb. I'm currently 207, but want to get down to 140 so we're looking to go on a very similar journey.
