but don't you see you have still lost the same amount - its just that your starting weight was heavier as well!!! lol! seriously it doesn't matter what you weigh on unless you desperately want to be a certain weight at the end. If you weigh on different scales you'll be a different weight, if you weigh on carpet/tile,…

or food diaries you recognise the contents of lol!

My hubby doesn't particularly - but I make sure I do. It will almost certainly be non food related - new necklace, new makeup, pamper session, new clothes etc. I haven't set any mini goals or rewards at the moment - I really must, I quite like buying myself stuff as rewards!!! lol!

I'm in Dorset :)

I've lost 110lbs so far and I do have some excess skin on my tummy with 30lbs to go, but I was overweight for a long time and during my weight loss journey (the past 10 yrs) I've had 2 children which has really pushed the limits of my skins elasticity. My exercise regime now is focused on a mix of cardio and strength…

a towel definately a towel - you are going to sweat weights a mat is you don't have a carpeted floor to train on. thats it - my jump rope is invisible :)

I personally wouldn't go cheap either. I use a Garmin 110 Forerunner which wasn't cheap but I use it all the time now for both running and when I want to work out and check cal burn. I would look on ebay for older models of reputable HRM's that people are selling on. In most cases people will have bought the kit in a bid…

I tend to do more exercise to be honest - so that I don't have to ignore all the cravings lol! But also it makes me feel better rather than wallowing in self pity.

sw 164lbs

feel free to add me, i've lost 110lbs + now and have less than 30 to go before goal.

pmsl!!!

You may find its something as simple as ingrediants in the foods you eat. Eating out v Eating at home the methods used to cook food are different, sodium levels are different, amount and types of oils used are different - this is just the tip of the iceberg. Whether you are cooking or not be sure to make it clear how you…

count me in :)

I don't think that loosing 3lbs or 4lbs is really going to have a massive difference on the way you look now. I mean your weight can fluctuate by that over the course of a day or two just because of water retention. There comes a point where you have to forget about the weight on the scales and focus on making changes to…

I had a massive fail of epic proportions tonight and ate waaaay too much chocolate - I logged my calories and worked out the only way to offset the damage was to do all 3 levels of the shred!! I have learnt my lesson - I will not pig out like that again I hurt now!

Day 8 and 9 and I did level 3 - you think you were dripping sweat in level 2 - you wait until level 3 lol! yesterday it was very hard work - today I found it a bit easier - but its proper hard core level 3 and weirdly I quite enjoyed it - I must be weird!!!

I would guess that your metabolism has slowed down and your body is burning up muscle for energy. I would increase your calorie intake to boost metabolism by eating 5-6 meals through the day - make sure you eat protein in each meal. Increase by 100-200 every couple fo days until you are at the best level for your body and…

day 7 level 2 done!!! - tommorrow I move onto level 3 - found level 2 reasonably ok today still sweated buckets. My girls helped me get through work out today - one used fly swats for weights the other recorders - they are only 3 and 5 - got to love my girlies!!!

well took your gauntlet and did level 1 and level 2 back to back as well :) sweaty betty lol! level 1 is pretty easy now - level 2 is still hard for me - I can't feel my arms!

It might be worth going to a specialist running store to have you gait analysed anyway - there shouldn't be any pressure to buy a shoe - normally they can advise on your running style as well. I can't offer advise because I can't see your running style online and wouldn't want to give you the wrong info from making…

Just say 'no thanks' just being with you guys is enough, but please go ahead and enjoy what you order - it doesn't taste as good to me anymore - I prefer..... Make the best choices you can from the menu that is available. You could just be open and honest and say meanifully that whilst you love spending time with them you…

I'm currently doing 30 day shred on top of my normal exercise - I reckon if i'm honest i'm doing it because a few friends said they were doing it and I thought I would give it a whirl. I don't mind it - I like that its 20 mins and its quick fire. I have a couple of other dvd's - 10 min soutions - I did them for a while and…

It might also be worth doing a body fat measurement and start using that as a guide. I'd endorse the whole zig zag method - every 4th day eat more carbs and up you cal intake - will restock your body then go right back to normal calories for 3 days.

the problem with any work out dvd is its designed for an all over tone - not specific to your legs. My personal advice would be to add in weight training targeting your legs - it wouldn't do your running any harm either as it will strengthen them to make you faster. 30DS is ideal if you want to tone up generally rather…

are you drinking enough water? normally around her visit you retain water which is the weight gain you are experiencing - but if you drink lots of water as part of your normal daily stratedgy then you should be able to keep water regulated better. I don't just mean 6-8 glasses of water either - perhaps double that with the…

In the week I do my 30ds in the morning first thing as its only 20 mins. Then I do 40 mins min cardio in the evening. But weekends I tend to run in the morning - so I do 30ds later in the day. It is only 20 mins - but its quite a workout and it builds up every day.

5th day - level 2 - another 6.30am start as I am running tonight. Am planing a couple more days at level 2 then stepping up to level 3.

my snack of choice at the moment is an apple cut into slices and whole earth peanut butter - I weigh about 20g of peanut butter and that easily is enough for 1 apple - for a slightly lower cal snack you could reduce the pb further still. But there is something very tasty about the combo and very satisfying as well as a…

you need to give yourself a new goal to work towards - with goals firmly in our hearts and our heads it makes it easy to resist temptations and stay focussed.

day 4 level 2 done - woke up at 6.30am to be sure to get it in today and its nice to be up and at them so early feel like I have loads of the day to play :)
