Awesome! Love to photo with the skirt and daughter, well done.

Ok I appreciate not everyone has the benefit of being taught how to cook etc, but there is a lot of information out there. Start with a little change every week. Week one, drink 2 litres of water a day Week two, eat one piece of fruit a day Week three, make one meal from scratch Buy the Michelle Bridges Crunchtime cook…

Are you taking the p**s Just looked at your diary, do you ever eat any homemade real food? If you really want to lose weight and step up your metabolism look at some of the diaries of members who are consistently losing weight. There is lots of help on here from knowledgeable people. But this does entail eating fresh food…

Probably will as I am the cook so have already tried to plan what I will eat without going crazy, aiming to stay within my calories by averaging the week and doing plenty of exercise. I want to enjoy a few glasses of Christmas vino!

I am 39 and have lost and gained weight a few times like lots of women. My experience/ opinion is this... It is less of an issue for men as they carry their fat intra abdominally so generally toning up will be more advantageous to men. Give it time it can take a year for skin to get as tight as it going to get. Although…

You look 10 years younger, great effort, week done

See you doctor, can be a symptom of lots of things but can also be a sign of various illnesses.

Bump.

Good on all you yanks for not going crazy on the Thanksgiving binge! Holding out for Christmas on the beach here in Oz! Have a dress to fit in to in two weeks for my works Christmas party so no naughtiness going down here! Keep it up girls......

The old adage that after 50 women can choose their face or their *kitten* may be true but if you are dead from the affects of obesity you are not choosing either! I think if women are very skinny then not such a great look once we are a bit older but fat is just bad so I am choosing my *kitten*! X

Don't make a big issue of it with your colleagues and just have a wine glass of fizzy water in your hand everyone will assume it is something else. Take in all the juicy gossip of the misdemeanors going on that you are normally too drunk to notice, blackmail everyone in 2012 and get a promotion. Sorted!

See your doctor.

As the spin instructor said arrive early, you will need help setting up your bike. Take lots of fluid, I always sweat a bucket....not ladylike but burns fat! Go for it!

This is very interesting, may give it a go.....thanks everyone

Ok lost a bit more this week down to 113.9kgs on track to be under 110 for Christmas. Is easier to stick at it in Australia as the weather is getting hot had a fab day of ocean swimming and cliff walk on Saturday. I always have a PT session on a Monday morning to set me up for the week!! Hi V I agree with tameko up you…

Love love love this so inspirational. When I am in the gym I look at the women I want to look like and generally they aren't one the treadmills....girls look around next time you are at the gym. Look in the bit where the men are lifting there will be a few women there with the awesome toned bodies you want, copy them. I…

Bump for later

Gonna give those a go

Yes I did say cardio is waste of time, which I agree with you it is important for cardio-vascular health. However I see a lot of people at the gym just doing their set time XX mins on the treadmill whatever and not sweating or appearing out of breath. Yes better than sitting on the couch obviously but not the most…

Hiya Bex I can totally empathize with you. I don't have a magic answer but with me there is an element of embarrassment as I feel my partner must be thinking " here we go again". He is very supportive but I think I have realized that basically it is down to me. No one puts food in my mouth but me and only I can workout my…

Yes other halves can be a pain.....I am very lucky my partner will eat anything only trouble I can eat the same portions as him and this makes me fat!!

You need to try something different, redo all you MFP settings so you are set to 1 lb a week eat all your calories. Weigh/measure all your food and log everything. May sound obvious but all the little cheats add up plan your meals and snacks so you are not tempted with low quality food. Start strength training 40 mins…

Have a look for some low sugar hot chocolate powder, I get mine at the health food shop. Organic cocao powder. If I am craving a choc fix at night then make this with skim mllk not too bad calorie wise and would do to take tablet with. Dental infections are horrid get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water and take a…

I have a FT 60, I love seeing the calories burned! Before that I had a very simple polar monitor that just gave my HR and time exercised but was very reliable, it is still working after 12 years. However I don't have any luck using it swimming tried various tricks recommended by others but can never get it to work once I…

Hi V You have done so well, it is hard to stick with it to drop so much. As far as plateaus go I would make sure you are eating enough especially protein and get some strength training sessions in to get your muscles turning up your metabolism. Try some new recipes mix it up go to a different gym class. Keep at it.....xxxxx

So hard to stick with it when the scales won't move......good luck.

Thank you
