I'm hanging in there, though the motivation to work out has been minimal as I've been really tired. I have however been sticking to food etc and I'm feeling a lot less bloated than earlier in the week. Going to try and get a workout in tonight and keep up the good eating for as much of the weekend as I can manage!

*Sigh*. Not my finest starting stats/pics. Weight 15st 3.5lbs (213.5) this morning, waist 33inches. In my defence the month has started at a bad time for me but I guess it's technically better than it was at the start of Aug (albeit up from last week). Here are some photos. Here's to the end of Sept being slightly less…

About to take pics. Bumping so it's in my topics.

Here's my start of April pic. March showed no change so here's to seeing a difference in April! Ps berry, men are ALWAYS offering me a seat on the tube...normally only when I'm only going 2 stops and there's no point sitting. It's when women offer that you have to start rethinking your belly!

And here my no progress end of March "after"... And on to the next month...

Of course I'm in again. *sigh* last month showed no improvement but here's to less jiggle by the end of April!

Ugh, March is kicking my bum and I'm exactly where I was at the start. Trying hard not to get completely derailed, but the lack of movement on the scale, and my bike dying and the hideousness that is work at the moment are certainly not helping! Trying to not lose any ground now, and hopefully I'll see some progress in…

I did it, I did it, I did it. And now I ache...

UGH, march is biting me in the bum work-wise. Being the only monkey left after a bout of reduncancies is meaning I'm not only doing more than my fair share of work, but also it's really lonely and demotivating. I'm trying really hard to do some JM workouts in the evenings after work, managed it the first week of march, but…

How big is the freezer? Can you all sit down and allocate a drawer to each person? Can you write your name on the boxes (and stuff in the fridge?), can you buy less in bulk, and buy what you need as and when so there's less to go missing? Can you check each day to check it's not gone? Can decant the contents of packages…

Here's my before taken this morning. Hopefully I'll see more difference by the end of the month. It actually surprised me how much difference there was in Feb! Maybe by the summer if I keep at this I'll even feel comfortable getting my tummy out around the pool (if I work out where I can go on holiday!)

Before After

oh berry that sucks but at least you can do the dvds? i hate it when gyms mess with class schedules the wrong ways...

is it post on end of feb, or start of march?

i am (i thought i replied last week but it probably got lost in the ether) i'm doing ok, the scale is being kind, we'll see if it makes a visible difference when i take a piccy in what...3 days? 4 days?

the scales budged a smidgen this morning, but i *feel* tubbier and more wobbly, how unfair. today is the halfway point!

My legs (and bum) still hurt from the sunday zumba disaster (bf, absolutely haaaaated the dvd, he got so mad at beto for not explaining the moves and speaking in spanish and getting his abs out). still, it clearly did something to me coz I was achey yesterday and even more so last night/today. Makes me realise that even…

I might try some JM tonight/tomorrow and I'm taking the zumba dvd's to my bf's and going to make him do them with me (he's whining about his weight so he can do some hip wiggling with me), and I'm going to make us go for a long walk on Sunday too. One good thing about the tube strike...I got an extra 40mins cycling each…

i've tried, and failed to make the photo work if anyone can help it's here: http://s71.photobucket.com/user/lbubs/media/Weight%20Loss%20Journey/image.jpg.html

*dashes in* Hi guys, a quick skim read tells me you're all doing fab. Well done everyone. I'm still ok, still havn't found somewhere to live but still looking, mum and stuff at home has calmed down generally, but I'm still keen to get out as soon as there's somewhere suitable. I was hit by a really nasty coldy/fluey thing…

A really quick hello! Meg shin splints, best thing I ever heard was to spell the alphabet out with your toes, so you stretch out in all directions, do it sitting watching tv and under your desk and it'll help in addition to the rest. Steph I hope half term treats you well! Ron well done on the trousers! I love that…

May the Sauce be with you

Eat, or do not. There is no "try".

Hi guys, I’m very much here (mfp), back on it 100%, eating right, exercising (commuting every day), AND running whenever my work schedule will allow…though recently it hasn’t allowed it. I’m doing a 10K in July, so I’m absolutely committed to keeping that up. I’ve sorted out my foot niggles by getting better more…

genuinely need to know the answer to this too (also, *chuckle*)

I'm here, I'm here, sorry. Jumping on to update so I've not read anything as yet. Move went well, though it was a bit of a miracle that both of his parents are still alive. Driving the van was fine, I was tired though, flat is nice. Work has been hell. Havn't been getting a lunchbreak and have been staying late. Mon night…

Right… OK I’ve been AWOL, and I’ve not cared in all honesty. I’m sorry for not commenting and providing any support though! Last week on Tuesday I managed to psyche myself up to go for a run, I went out with the intentions of doing W1D1 of C25K, when I got out there I actually managed a lot more, and instead of 1min run…

Right, I'm back on it, (mostly). I’ve been reading through and keeping up, but there’s been so much going on and discussed that I don’t have much to add, so I’m just going to jump in from here on in. This weekend I decided to take a “me” weekend and have a massive clear out, threw away/donated/recycled bags of books,…

I'm still, here, still crabby, still cycling to the station, still trying to take a leaf from thumper's mum and "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything"... So I'm not. I'm steering this black cloud away from all you guys so as not to rain on your parades. Hope you're all doing well, sounds like things are…
