When you say that you are having trouble reaching 1200, do you mean you have trouble eating that much? If so I would say 1. This surprises me because 1200 calories is not very much. 2. You are not eating enough, especially if you are feeling tired. Your body needs fuel and if you are exercising you should eat at least some…

Lol....so funny.

Fantastic! Well done for keeping at it! Keep going! :)

Amazing! Well done!

Congratulations! You look great on it!

Woohoo! Inspiring!

You're going to feel so ill afterwards. It's not worth it.

Um...seems like a strange target. Why?

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Thanks guys. Anyone else have any success ??

So inspiring.

Amazing! Looking great! You are doing so well!

I think you should expect to see that sort of thing on a site like this.

You look amazing. Did you use NROLFW or stronglifts or....? Really interested to hear. I have almost the same measurements as you and have been considering heavy lifting.

Kettlebell workouts are great for the legs.

Looking fab! Well done!

I have the book but not the equipment yet!

I can see a huge difference, particularly around your face and upper body. Don't give up, you're doing great!

Wow, amazing job!! Keep going !!

It took me just under a year to be able to run 10k.

If you can, two or three runs ( or run/walks) a week is good. If you have a mobile phone there are C25K apps, or look here http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/couch-to-5k-plan.aspx for an idea of what you need to do. There are podcasts on this website too. Whatever you decide to do, hope it works for you!

You're looking great, what an achievement, you must be so proud of yourself!

Running outside has changed my life! I know it sounds over the top but it's true. When I started running I couldn't run for a minute. Thanks to the C25K programme I caught the running bug and can now run for an hour or more. It takes time but is worth it in the end.

I think 1 or 2lbs a week is a sensible rate to lose your weight. If you lose 2lbs a week that's around 33 weeks which is just under 9 months. Take into account the fact that it will get harder to lose as you get closer to your goal. It helps me to break the weight into chunks and give myself goals of around 10lbs.

Hi. Well done for starting running, the best decision! I know it might seem strange, but you will need to walk a bit! The Couch 2 5k programme helps you do this. You basically start by waling a bit and running a bit and repeating, and you gradually run for longer each time. This is the way to do it if you want to avoid…

Horrible article. Of course some of it is true, but he also makes gross generalisations about women.

I know it's difficult , but try not to concentrate on the scale. There is nothing wrong with running or cardio. I love running, it has helped me get where I am today. But you need to weight train too. Muscle burns fat, so if you gain muscle this will help you to lose the weight. And if you search the forums a little more,…

Keep going. It's great that you want to lose weight and it's great that you are getting your diet under control. When you lose this weight it will change your life, keep that in your mind . You can do this! It does take time , just be patient and keep trying and I'm sure that you will start to get results! Good luck :)

Hello! I started my weightloss journey back in Summer of 2011. At the end of last year I got lazy and put 14lbs back on. But I'm pleased to say that since January I have managed to lose the extra weight. I'm back to where i was before now, so it can be done! I know it's disheartening but you can do it! Go for a walk every…

That's fantastic! You can do it! With you all the way!
