Level 1 - day 2 - missed yesterday due to incredibly **** day but am going to do it tonight - even though my thighs are still killing me from 1st day!

Day 1 Level 1 done - 29 days to go! Woohoo! We can do it!!

Hi all, started today - even though I couldnt find my weights (used two ribena bottles instead!). Current Weight - 152 (69kg) Height - 5'6 Measurements: Thigh - 22.5 Arm - 11 Waist - 38.5 Hips - 41 Chest - Forgot to do this Am going to log my food intake and try to stick to a relatively low level (around 1500) and am…

I just had 500ml bottles home and they are just a pound. I have canned foods too but they all seem a bit light. Probably I will have to go and buy some weights....

Hi, I am 5'6 and have 10-14lbs to lose (have been trying for almost a year!) now I am going to track everything I eat (again) and start 30DS tomorrow. I would love to have some friends in the same position to help kick my butt and keep me motivated! Good luck to everyone!

Thanks everyone, I didn´t eat bread yesterday, went for a walk last night, and no biscuits after dinner! I will try again tonight - I am jusst going to make these small changes and hope that it starts to kick in. Thanks for the messages - it really has helped!

I did bring my runners to work today and plan to go for a 20min walk around the neighbourhood to get a sense for it. I don´t really have time to joing a club yet but maybe in a few months. I want to go out walking/running in the evenings so I will just have to start with a short walk. I do want my kids to be healthy and I…

Thank you, I think I just needed to write this down and realise that I have to just start. I appreciate the advice and I will start today and hopefully in a few months I will fit into some of those clothes!!

Amazing you look great - well done on all your hard work and committment! You are an inspiration.

Hi Jackie, I would like to join please, will post my weight on Feb 1st (today it is 150lbs) so thanks for setting this up, Paula

Hi, I am Paula and a mum of 2 - a 2 year old boy and a 9 month old little girl. I am going back to work next week after my maternity leave and need to lose a stone (14lbs) to get back to pre-pregnancy weight and feel better about myself. I was 7lbs away from goal before Xmas but have been pretty bad for the last 2 weeks,…

Woohoo went for a run/jog, kept to my calories and drank loads of water - good day for me!

Thanks PennyChallenge for the welcome and the encouragement! Ok did well yesterday stuck to calorie goal and drank 2 litres of water. Today I am to do the same and go to the gym.

Oh I think this is something I will aim for - am always losing motivation! Want to lose a stone - but would be happy with 5-7lbs now. I am a mum of two, my son is 25months and my daughter is 8 months and I am still on maternity leave. I go back to work full time in January and want to look and feel ok by then. But I am…

Hi Aisling, can you tell us how you lost 14lbs in 2.5weeks? I would love to lose even 7lbs but have been struggling the last while. Am starting again properly tomorrow with plain old calorie counting and gym. What did you do?? Sounds like its working!

Hi, you can add me too. I'm 5'6 and about 151 now and want to get down to 140 but would be happy just to lose 5-7lbs this side of christmas. Would love the support to get myself back on track, have been stuck for the last few weeks! Good luck!

So this has not been a good week for me either. Nearly cracking up from sleep deprivation after 7 months of no decent sleep. So have not been great with food or exercise. Today though I am starting again - against my principles I am going to do the Dukan diet to try and get rid of half a stone (7lbs) then this will…

Hi Shalimarmandy, I have never joined one of these groups before but I just wanted to say thanks, it looks like you put a lot of work into it. My SW on the spreadhseet should read 156 as I think 159 was just a post halloween bloat!! Today my weight at weigh in was 152.5 (I was 153.5 last Friday before halloween). I am…

Drank 3 litres of water yesterday and was good with food. Didn't make it to the gym - hope to go tonight. Hope everyone is doing ok.

I like move-ember too and I am going to try and increase my gym visits this month so it fits! Yesterday my SW was 159 but that was more of a halloween bloat - today it is 156 (last friday it was 154 so that is bad!). Anyway hopefully in a month I will be 146 - good luck to everyone!

Hi, I would like to join if I can still. I have never done this before but would like to get at least 10lbs off this month. I will send you a friend request now. Going back to work in January after mat leave and need to fit in old wardrobe! Starting weight today was 159. Plan to drink 2-2.5litres water a day. Gym at least…

Thanks everyone, I know I can't give up, had some toast for breakfast (instead of porridge) and now will get back on track and try and start exercising more. Hopefully will get easier when baby sleeps longer than 3-4 hours. I know its hard for everyone but it was just getting me down and yes I think I will put the scales…

Thanks for all your replies, just to say I have actually weaned her off the breast in the last few weeks as she has some feeding difficulties (another long story!). So when I was breastfeeding I accounted for that in MFP and netted 1200 (extra 400 a day) but now that I am not feeding her anymore I am on 1200 for myself. So…

Thanks for your replies, I suppose I am just one of those people who will always struggle to lose weight. It is just so frustrating as everyone always says "oh the weight will drop off you feeding yourself" and of course it doesnt for me!! Anyway i am going to try and eat healthily and exercise more so that when I do stop…

Thanks everyone, I think you are right I am just going to eat healthy and exercise more and not look at the scales for a while. I do feel like I am changing shape for the better so I will just keep at it and cut out all the extra crap and hope to see a difference. Appreciate all the advice
