  • Don't let them intimidate you! I know that's easier said than done, but I doubt they will judge you when you're using the equipment. Perhaps they could help you get used to using it if you're unsure? It is important to use it correctly though, could your fiancée go with you at any time? For some moral support and to keep…
  • I'll try and find the link, it's a UK show so perhaps those outside the UK will be unable to see. However, the Dr on there said that drinking diet soda's can make you eat more, as the sugary taste makes the brain think it will get sugar, however when it does not it demands some. Making you hungry and more likely to eat…
  • I agree with the poster above, it's not sustainable to panic about calories, a healthy awareness of what is going in is good, being obsessed and actively upset by them is not. I've seen your other posts too, and so I think you need to break this. Please speak to someone who can help you in that respect. It's good you…
  • Hi, I'm in Scotland too, feel free to add me if you like! Good luck with your weight loss, this is a great place to track what you do and get support. It makes it so much easier to have people there to keep you on track and help you out when you need it.
  • Hello everyone! Sorry I've not been able to do anything this week, it's been a touch stressful and I've not had a minute to do anything. I've had exams, and been up and down the country and giving evidence in court, which was very scary and intimidating. Hence I've also been living off convenience food. This week I'm back…

  • That's incredible! Wow!
  • For some of the more unusual vegetables then you should try your local Asian food shops. A lot of the time they stock something they found at the market and thought was interesting! Though it won't be in season for quite some time yet.
  • Level 1 day 4. I hadn't heard of it until I joined here and so many people were raving about it. I've tried other DVD's before, but they're just not for me in my little apartment. I also tend to get a bit confused with the dancing ones, so Jillians simple but effective moves are great for me! That said I could barely walk…
  • Well my motivation and fitness have gone up a lot, so I suppose I should be concentrating on that not just the numbers. It's very true, I try to be moderate, sometimes it's hard (right now it's finals week of my law degree, so the stress is on!) but I try to be sensible. Sometimes it's ok to have a little something though!…
  • Thank you all, Sometimes a reassuring word is all you need to make you calm down and reassess the whole thing!
  • I might get someone to look over my diary, I try to stick to what I plan but inevitably something comes up that's hard to say no too. I try to cook with as little oil as possible, I have an olive oil atomiser which means you use much less, so it's hard to estimate what I'm using, but if I put a teaspoon in my diary then I…
  • Thanks Guys It was a different scale, I borrowed my flatmate's scale so it could be that. I'm not so sure that could account for such a wide margin of error though! Msenior, feel free to add me if you want someone to help give you support! Doing measurements is a very good idea, thanks! I'll go out and get a measuring tape…
  • Hey, this seems like a good idea. I'll be graduating in July but working at the university until September, so I hope I can still join in! I used to be very fit and healthy, and then university with it's long hours of studying and drinking and eating...you know the rest. But now I'm a bit of a gym bunny again, and starting…
  • Hey, it's finals week for me too (well the UK equivilant). Feel free to add me, it's so much easier when you have a support network!
  • Final year law student at uni here. Far too many hours sat eating snacks in the library. Feel free to add me!
  • I'm originally from Newcastle but living in Scotland. Missing the Geordies though! Feel free to add as a friend!
  • Well done! Keep up the good work, you've made amazing progress.
  • Hey! I hope you reach all your goals on here, it's helping me a lot!
  • Thanks for the replies! All requests accepted! This seems like a good site to be able to keep motivated, so I hope to be using it a lot in the future. Good luck to everyone else with their weight loss, and I hope we'll all be seeing results soon!
