I've been wondering the same thing and have just found this: http://dailyburn.com/life/fitness/beginner-kettlebell-training-video/?partner=huff&mtype=5&utm_source=huff Unfortunately as I'm in the office I can't watch it just yet, but thought I'd pass it on! Lindsay

During the week I sit at a desk all day, so I log my activity level 7 days a week as sedentary. At the weekend I log cleaning, but I make sure I work at it! the alternative would be to set my activity level all week as lightly active, so that these activities would be covered. But as I rarely clean every day, this would be…

I've got my second fast day tomorrow - I actually enjoyed my first on Monday - feel free to add me, but as I only log my food now on two days a week it might take me a while to get back to you! I found a great soup recipe here: http://www.tinnedtomatoes.com/2012/08/52-diet.html#.UHUaQ03onZZ which kept the hunger at bay,…

I only started doing this this week Lisa, so not much feedback to report! However, my first fast day wasnt too bad - actually felt full after my dinner of tuna steak and stir fry! My next fast day is tomorrow. There are a few facebook groups where you can get some really good info and feedback from people who have been…

Try a hot water bottle, but appreciate that pain, you did good!

They sound grea - thanks!

10lb to go for me too - but I'm not setting any deadlines. It's painfully slow at the moment!

They were only advocating it three times a week, not every day, and only for a total of three minutes a week. I thought it was an interesting concept, but I would have preferred if he had tested HIIT and NEAT over separate time periods, so that you could tell more clearly where the benefits came from

If you click on someone's name (underneath their profile pic) it will take you to their profile page. There, to the right of their pic, you should see a button you can click to add them as a friend - go on, try it! Good luck Lindsay

Welcome - I'll add you!

Welcome - sounds like a very sensible goal, and this is the right place to get there! Feel free to add me Lindsay

Fabulous - you look great! and in less than a year - that's amazing.

Fabulous! But then I'd expect nothing less from you! x:flowerforyou:

Try this website: http://www.mybodygallery.com/ You can put your height and goal weight in and get an idea of what real women look like! It just shows how different we all are!

I eat pasta regularly, and couldnt manage without it! I even managed to fit in spaghetti carbonara last night. my favourite store cupboard recipe is a sauce made from tomatoes, chili, nutmeg, garlic and low-fat creme fraiche. If I've cals to spare I sprinkle some freshly grated parmesan on the top.

It's only pain, it's only pain, it's only pain ... I also tackle hill runs by imagining that I'm pulling myself by my arms up on two steel cables - works a treat!

This is a really interesting thread, although I admit I havent had time to read all of it yet. I'm 5'2", 135lb and aiming for 125lb - it's reassuring to see so many of you heading for the same goal This is a great website which shows graphically why different weights suit different people of the same height - check it out!…

Chutney! And banana bread - best thing for overripe bananas! That kiwi salsa sounds fab, will try that. Glad your husband is on his way home - think of the cals you're going to burn running round after him! Take care x

I have a friend like that - she mocks calorie counting and is always on the latest fad diet - you name it, she's tried it so that makes her an expert. Every now and then she loses 20lb, then puts it back, with more on top. As a consequence, in the time that I've known her, she's got bigger and I've got smaller, but she's…

Very excited! Got tickets for the last athletics session (which includes the men's 200m relay) and the ladies football final (perfect for my footballing girls). I'm already enjoying the new shopping and restaurant facilities at Stratford!

Hi Courtney Welcome to the forum! It's a lot easier to lose weight if you have some company. Why not tell us a bit about yourself or fill in some details on your profile? Lindsay

I try to stick to a daily total, but only cos I'm no good at sums! Before I came here I used a paid-for site, which allowed you to spread your cals over the week. I think this a great way of working it - apart from anything else, if you binge one day, rather than putting it behind you and starting the next day with a clean…

Why does it make you so cross that somebody wants to log their cleaning cals?

Glad to see this thread - I'm always looking for good running songs. Leaders of the Free World (Elbow) came on my ipod the other day and it was the perfect song for my stride- Been looking for more ever since! I love Beat Surrender (Paul Weller) too. If anyone knows of a simple app for measuring beats per minute I'd love…

Thanks for this - I'm going to check both of them out!

bump for later!

Mine's open

You ARE awesome - well done!

I have a love-hate on-off relationship with running. Today I love it. Sometimes its hell, but sometimes the running fairy comes and sits on your shoulder for the whole run. I never really enjoy the feeling of running but I love 'being a runner' and, like you, I love the feeling afterwards. Lindsay
