ha ha! I feel the same at the moment - I'm in a newer pair of trousers which are a little loose round the waist but I feel a bit like Bruce Banner on a slightly vexed day as far as the thighs are concerned :D It's definitely a victory!

Congratulations! You reached the target very quickly! Great work!

I put your stats in here: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ and it says while eating 1431 a day and not exercising you can lose 37lb in a year. So if you were willing to lose your 17lb a little more slowly, you could eat a bit more and if you were exercising you could eat a little bit more too. How…

totes amazeballs 'of' used instead of 'have' - it's could have, should have, would have bought/brought when used incorrectly they're/their/there your/you're loosing weight Reading the above I feel really petty. Those words and phrases genuinely make me cringe; they make my head slowly disappear as my shoulders hunch with…

I think gloves are the only way but I tried them and didn't like how they felt - I felt less in control. I just keep mine down between visits with an emery board followed by hand cream - stops them from getting too bad. I don't think it's much to do with the weight, more with the friction (I started getting them when the…

My husband runs and says maybe you could use a camelbak (or any of the other brands) - although then you get sweaty-back syndrome, but that way you'd have nothing to carry. I have a water bottle by nathansports that fits in the palm of my hand and it's great because it doesn't feel like you're carrying anything (but I only…

I'm type 1 diabetic but have only just started running, so I'm sorry, I can't help. Could you not take some glucose gel with you on your run and use that to keep your blood sugar up? Or maybe drink a sports drink with sugars in it? Sorry I couldn't help more. I don't think it's anything personal by the way - you're just…

do you know where you're going? I like to take a look at the menu online before going somewhere so I can plan my day around it and decide what I'm going to eat and how to eat the rest of the day. Even if they have no nutritional info available you can make a good guesstimate. Sometimes I just decide I'm going to eat more…

just spotted the bit in bold - well done - that's fantastic! I'm very impressed!

I have 4 that fit properly and do the job. My favourite three are by Panache (handily available in back sizes 28-40 and cup sizes B-H) so they go up to my size and I've got a fair bit of scope to lose weight and not have to seek out something new that I get on with. The other is a shock absorber red and black bra - it's…

Great ideas for the soup! If I'm doing something with chicken pieces in I count out the number of chicken thighs or chicken breasts that are going into the dish and call each piece of chicken a serving (wouldn't be useful for stuff where you're cutting the chicken up small but it works for most tray-bakes or dishes with…

Brilliant achievement, awesome post - thanks so much for sharing! Well done!

Ouch! Well done for achieving so much with an injury and for finding a way of staying active despite the pain. Great commitment!

Hope you're both feeling better soon

You can do it! Every minute adds up - I'll be cheering you on! :D

Awesome! Great work! I love the fact that you're gaining skill, confidence and fitness all in one NSV! I'm proud to have you on my friend list :flowerforyou:

Brilliant! Well done! I find running outside passes much quicker than on the treadmill too which is a bonus. It's a fantastic victory - great work!

If the hotel has a restaurant that serves pizza then it might be rude. Assuming not I'd ask - they can always say no if they're not willing/able to help out. Worth a try.

Thanks, that's really interesting.

I think learning to have a healthy relationship with food (including fast food, chocolate, etc) is an important part of making their changes stick. So if I see someone having fast food, but it fits into their day then I see that as a positive step for them to have taken. Also I see that they've noted it down rather than…

I love the recipe below, I substitute different cuts of chicken as the mood suits me, it definitely isn't bland. If you don't want to make so much chicken make up all the marinade then freeze half for next time. http://caribbeanpot.com/a-non-traditional-stove-top-jerk-chicken/ ETA: I normally omit the salt as the soy makes…
