Nearly every shop i do an old lady will ask for my help!! Dont mind at all! There are lots of perks when your tall - reaching high shelves is one of them (scarcasm is the lowest form of wit - i know!) ;-)

Hi Thanks for all the helpful advice! I feel like a lot of the advice out there is aimed at women a lot shorter and it would be great to have the support of other people in the same boat! As for the questions on men - never had a problem with meeting guys and most have been shorter or the same height as me. We tall girls…

wow - You look amazing! I have been waiting for somene with a similar weight to put a story up! Thanks you a have given me the boost i needed! :happy:

thanks for all the great advice! Its amazing what a lot of support you get from these answers! Fingers crossed the scales shift soon :-)

thats really interesting - i will try and see if there are any patterns!

I seem to plateau every few weeks! I try and mix my workouts up and keep my body/muscles second guessing! do others plateau so regularly?

yes on the weekend. Either a weight session or a weight mixed with cardio session

1000 calories is not enough especially if your excercising! Your setting yourself up to fail as your body will be too hungry pushing you to have cravings! Talk to your trainer about calories they should be able to help. I find having lots of healthy snacks around really helps - fruit and nuts especially almonds are great.…

that does make sense!

Thanks! its how random weight loss is that confuses me the most!

its very true! I weighed out the serving of the museli that i eat and the 45gram serving was tiny!!! I now savour each mouthful of the very small looking portion :smile:

Outside excercise is great and i really believe healthy eating doesnt have to be expensive. Bulk buying apples and other fruit makes it cheaper. I buy a lot of oats, eggs, lentils etc. Buying veg in season is cheaper as well. I have found that i am eating less as well so the food i buy is lasting longer. I also have cut…

I am in the uk and have been on here a while but never on the message boards. How do you add people? :smile:
