I'm in - i have a lot more to lose but 15lbs by summer would be a great start.

Anyone can add me, i am 32 and have the same amount to lose. I have lost in the past but for medical reasons and lack of willpower/exercise it's crept back on. I have been doing this again for 2 weeks, committed to losing 1lbs a week and so far im 5lbs down eating healthily and sensibly. Hoping that if i stick to 1lb…

I was diagnosed with this back in 2008, i lost quite a lot of vision, had very painful headaches and was taken to A&E. I was admitted to hospital and given an LP. I was then put on diamox for a year and had about 6 LP's to drain the fluid off my brain. Not nice but I walked and walked until i lost 30lbs and the symptoms…

Sorry to hear you have been struggling. I hope now you have decided to start over and have stepped on the scale (the worst part) you will realise you have a lot of help and support here for you and you can do this again. One day at a time. I understand where you are coming from because i lost around 30lbs on here in 2009…

I'm in exactly the same situation and had the same issues and im now back to the same weight. I ran a half marathon this March but i'm now back to the couch again :( I also picked up an injury after my race from pushing too hard in the final half mile. I think you (and myself included) need to break it down into manageable…

AMAZING....you look beautiful and are the same height as me and that is my goal weight so this is very inspiring thank you for sharing. Congrats you should be proud. x

you look AMAZING and have inspired me :smile:

Thank you for all the great advice - i successfully completed my first half marathon last week and enjoyed every minute of it. Big thank you for calming my nerves.

I agree with the above posters, i feel the same as you but for me it feels psychological. I have felt a little lost after finishing my half marathon, after following the training plan for 12 weeks i now feel like i need some new goals too aim for. I think in the short term i will aim to shake up my exercise with some zumba…

Congratulations - loved your post. i have my half marathon a week today and im starting to get so nervous, im running for charity and i feel so pressured to complete it. It's only pressure i put on myself but i just want to enjoy it like you did. I enjoyed reading your post, it's nice to hear other peoples feelings as i…

Thank you so much for your reply. I think I will print this off and keep reading it to myself. I am forgetting why i am doing this (for charity) and letting my fears consume me. I think i have forgotten about the journey. Just a little over a year ago i was running from lampost to lampost and now i can run my whole city, i…

Thank you for all your comments, inspiring and helpful. thank you

hey all, well i did 3 and a half weeks straight but then fell off the wagon as i was flat out busy with work and now im sick. I cant do it until my head cold is gone as i feel dreadful but i will make up for it in a few days when im back on my feet. I dont want the initial hard work to be in vain so i will catch up with…

Hey all, i only got one in last week due to work commitments, im going to start back up and keeping going now til the end.

Just finished L2 WK3 D1 - first time for me on level 2, not sure of this level, like the crunches but find all the lunges difficult with my achilles injury so i might have to adjust the movements for me. Glad to be out of Level 1 though.

so im confused im about to start week 4 but that is my beginning of L2 but others seem to be on L2 on week 3. Did you all just move up because you were ready to or have i been doing this wrong? im confused.

Forgot to log yesterday so here goes: finished W3 D4 L1 getting bit bored now, ready for L 2 today i've just finished W3 D5 L1 yippeee :) last one of level 1 done and tomorrow i start on L2. Can't believe im now half way through this...3 weeks done excellent. edited: i added 5k run to my work out today and 3k walk :)

Just finished W3 D3 L1 and added a 5k run to it tonight, not feeling tired today, bouncing around with energy. The rest day yese=terday must have done the trick. Only 2 more and im on to level 2 can't wait, my body is starting to change shape, my shoulders, arms and thighs have slimmed and ive noticed my back and sides…

ditto

Just completed Week 3 D2 L1 today also added on my 5k run tonight - phew im tired now! Im a bit bored of Level 1 and ready to move up now, only 3 more times then its level 2. Can't believe im nearly half way and have done this every week day since we started - woo hoo!!! Keep it up everyone!

I've been posting on the add -on page but just to keep up here i completed Week 3 D2 L1 today. Im a bit bored of Level 1 and ready to move up now, only 3 more times then its level 2. Can't believe im nearly half way and have done this every week day since we started - woo hoo!!! Keep it up everyone!

Just finished W3 D1 L1 felt a bit sluggish today but think its just because i had a long day at work. I also hurt my toe doing a backward lunge - not sure what i did there, so im not adding anything to it today. Can't believe i have 4 workouts left on level 1 and then i move up. Loving this DVD but ready to ramp it up now.

Green tea

this is exactly the same for me :)

Just finished Wk2 D5 L1 feeling great, so proud that ive finished my 2nd week of this. Im feeling ready to move up to Level 2 now but i will do another week of L1 and follow it. Im seeing my body change and looking forward to seeing the results in 4 weeks time. I added an hours walk to it today.

Just finished W2D4 and feeling great, i was a little sore from yesterday but feel better after doing it today. It makes me laugh when JM says 'crank it' i feel like shouting 'i am cranking it lol' Oh and i added a 5k run to mine today!!! yay for exercise!

Just finished W2D3 L1 Im tired today, did some extra crunches but was stiff from my long run last night. Im not feeling it so much in my abs anymore. Looking forward to moving up to level 2. Hope everyone is working hard :)

bump
