I lost 2 stones over 4 or 5 months then I just stopped losing, I think a lot of it was down to my alcohol intake and one too many treats on a weekend, I'd work hard Sunday/Monday and undo it all in just 2 days. I decided I needed to kind of reset myself so I've taken the last 2 months off and haven't been going crazy but I…

I try to cook enough for 1 meal so it all gets eaten in one sitting with no temptations to go back later, unless it's a curry then I'll freeze a couple of tubs. When it comes to snacking on really rubbish food I just don't buy it, if I had a giant packet of crisps at home I wouldn't be able to weigh out a sensible portion…

I have to be honest, bearing in mind that I am not one to receive complements and I'm a bit of a misanthropist I tend to not say anything at all, a girl at work could go from having long brown hair to short spiky green hair overnight and I still probably wouldn't say anything. If a girl from work went from a size 20 to a…

When I'm at home I weigh everything (unless its a Friday night takeaway, then it is a free for all lol, as I said it seems to be heading in the right direction so I'm ok with my Friday luxury) If I'm at work and I get a sandwich or what not then it goes on the barcode, there have been days when MFP has told me that I'm…

Yeah, I normally weigh myself when I wake up after going to the toilet. I thought that 1 stone might be ambitious but I'm not too clued up on the whole thing, I thought that maybe as I've got so much to lose it'd be faster to start and then slow down as my body acclimatized to the shock of it.

p.s. yes I am weighing myself pretty much daily but its just because at the minute I am kind of enjoying seeing the spikes and dips

Well that was extremely painful, I was in agony whilst I was running today, didn't matter how fast or slow i went. I think I need to give my body a bit more time to heal. I'll go back to the gym on Tuesday as normal but I'll just go on the bike and leave the running until Tuesday and see how I get on. Feels like that was a…

I was thinking about having a few more sessions of week 2 but my problem is that I get a little obsessed with things, I would end up sticking on week 2 until I was able to go at lightening speed barefoot without so much as taking a single deep breath before I feel happy to move onto the next stage. If I start struggling on…

It was more about not having the choice but to let people know, it'll be pretty obvious and my office is full of...well...nosy *kitten* lol. I'm not too bothered though I've got over the self confidence issues, I'm doing it for me and not for them, they may be fitter and healthier than me but at least I'm trying to do…

I've got to be honest I don't think that there are many shops in my area other than JD and sports direct, there is an adidas shop but they are too expensive.

ok just completed W2D1 much better, I feel like this one is pushing me a little bit more which is what I wanted, the pain in my foot seems to have completely gone, my knee felt a bit sore but nothing too bad at all. I have got to invest in some better trainers though, I went to but a pair yesterday, I asked for 5 different…

I thought that was the answer I would get lol

Well I have just got back from doing w1d2, I couldn't get out yesterday so I had a rest period of 2 days between my first and second efforts. I found it a lot easier stamina wise today, I took a slightly different route and I think that made it a little better going on me. Only problem is that when I got to run 5 I was…

Cheers everyone, I literally did half of w1d1 yesterday, time wasn't on my side to do the whole thing in the morning and I just wanted to see how I felt, I did the full thing at about 5:30am today and I'm planning on doing it once every 2 or 3 days from here on in.

Well I done it today at a reasonable pace, not fast by any stretch of the imagination but certainly not slow, it didn't kill me either (until the very last one) I guess that even though I'm a big old unit the time I spent on my exercise bike previously has helped me out. Should I still try to slow down even more or just…

Ha I know your pain, I walk past 3 cafes,2 subways, 2 greggs and a McDonald's every morning on my way into work, I've done well today hopefully I'll see the weight start coming off like it was before I broke up. At lunch time I walked past a chippy and all I could smell was that kebabby goodness, I managed to hold off and…

Wow big motivational post there, when I said she delivered the killer blow it was just a joke, I intended it as a bit of a light hearted post

I can honestly say that in the few months I have been doing this the thought of gaining a relationship out of losing weight hasn't occurred to m once. I'm single, live alone and I love it that way, I am doing this for me and absolutely no one else. I'm quite an antisocial creature by nature.

LAMCDylan, spot on mate, I don't get support from anyone else, no or even knows that I am doing this thing and that's how I like it, I'm not doing it for anyone other than myself. I come on here to vent or ask questions but ultimately it's me that needs to motivate myself. No one has commented that I have lost weight and…

Every day regardless of weather ove gained or lost because I like the zig zags on the graph

Slim and loaded, what are you waiting for book your flight to meet her...unless you doubt her integrity in which case block her

I used to drink loads of fizzy pop, a bottle or two a week plus a small bottle every day or two whilst at work. I just stopped, didn't buy it when at home anymore and didn't buy it when at work, it wasn't even for health reasons, I just decided it was a waste of money. I can't remember the last time that I had a fizzy (non…

I weigh myself every day, I lost 3lbs in the last 24 hours :smiley: However I did gain 2.5lbs in the 24 hours before that but we won't talk about that :wink:

This sounds really cheesy but what the hell I'm a massive boxing fan and it's a nice simple mantra "Hard work, dedication" Floyd Mayweather Jr

Do you need to wear fitbits all day to get the most out of them? Is there anyway you can get the most out of them without wearing them on your wrist? I only ask because I'd like to invset in one bit I wear a watch, even if the fitbit does tell the time I'm not a fan of digital watches. It's not like I am desperate for one…

wow, thanks for all the responses people I actually meant for my post today to come across as a mini positive, I said that I was going to get back to where I wanted to, this weekend wasn't going to be as bad and that I was going to make a concerted effort to get myself motivated again. I appreciate people saying 'you can…

Ok so following my first weekend of drunken tomfoolery which couldn't be avoided my weight has gone up a little, it was 3 solid days of drinking (and eating very little) I still felt horrible at work yesterday and I made up for my lack of grub with a nice big take away curry last night. I've just jumped on the scales and…

When I said survival mode I didn't mean starvation mode, I meant it more like does it shock your body short team. The three week rule I kind of decided for myself it was a thing, based on the amount of threads that ask the question after 3 weeks (I myself started a thread of that kind) and also based on that chart that…

The way this weekend is due to go that'll mean a lot of exercising and very little food lol It's just frustrating more than anything

Ha not much chance of it happening every day don't worry about that.
