^ This exactly

Great Article ! Some days mine appears less visible, some days more. I slap on some fake tan and forget about it. :smile:

Bump - on the lookout for a new one myself actually.

5ft tall , started 140, now 133. Goal around 125. Not too focused on the weight, just want everything to be a bit smaller and firmer. :)

Great read , thanks !

bump :)

Here's one I like - one pot easy meal, also freezes well. Easy sweet potato chickpea curry / stew 1 x can chickpeas 2 x 400g can chopped tomato 200 g raw carrot , cut into chunks 200 g sweet potato , cut into chunks 1 x small red onion 2 x clove of garlic 2 x tbs curry powder (I use tikka) soften the onions in a saucepan…

Another code for the standard UK nibble box :JM44PT3D

Made them this weekend. I used a whole egg and fat free greek style yoghurt and they turned out great. I made them plain and served them with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey, 1/2 portion was plenty for me ! Great job, I think this will be a regular weekend treat. Thanks !

Nearly 33 , in a relationship for 11 years , not married, no kids. To some this is weird , to me it's just how I choose to have my life.

I like you :)

bump !

I've had this for breakfast - boil with part water, part orange juice , and some raisins. Done !

Bump!

a cup / 1/2 tin of a healthy option soup - filling and a good way to get the veggies in. usually around 100 cal.

Great job !

I did it April last year , it was great - I was so much stronger and fitter by the end. I just started my 2nd round yesterday so if there's a group going I'll join !

I sympathise, it's not always easy when it's with work. for "dinner and drinks" - I agree - small portions or the "healthy option" I don't like to be the only one not drinking so i have one glass of wine and make it last all night. Any offers for another round i just say "no thanks , i'm a lightweight and i'd have a…

Vegetable - sweet potato fruit - raspberries mmnnnnn........

this is interesting.... i'm 5ft and currently netting 1200, though im thinking of upping as since doing 30ds it doesnt seem enough ...

I also suffer from anxiety, and have found that exercise & eating well have really helped. at the moment i am doing 30 day shred and have found that exercising a little every day really helps and has improved my sleep no end. Diet wise I try to eat fairly cleanly - lots of lean protein, veg, fruit, nuts and greek yoghurt.…

Maybe you could try a calorie goal for each meal, and try hitting that rather than looking at the day as a whole which might seem a bit overwhelming. If it is the volume of food you are struggling with, things like nuts, peanut butter & seeds could help you up your calories. you only need to have a small amount to make a…

great job ! thanks ! i've been thinking of changing my calorie goal, this'll give me the confidence to do it!

I like Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. It's a circuits workout of 20 mins - lots of people do it every day for the 30 days.There are 3 levels to progress through. I've just used it as a kickstart back to exercise after not having worked out for a while, and felt huge improvements in my strength and endurance within the 1st…

I :heart: this thread - yay for strong women x

I've had this happen to me - straight after starting 30ds it came nearly 2 weeks early, I hadn't been exercising regularly before that. I'm seeing my dr soon so will check in with her but i've had this sort of thing before on changes in exercise , diet or medication so i'm not too concerned.

You look great, congrats :smile:

I love Graze - Why dont i buy it all in the supermarket ? because I dont want to have to spend time portioning it all up and working out the calories. Also they have great choice and i've had things off them i've never seen in the supermarket. I'm willing to pay the extra for the choice and convenience.

well it did it, despite being up since 4 am. It was woeful if i'm honest, i was just too tired, the hotel room was too hot and the floor too slippery, but nevermind. Did tonights too, better than last night, back on home soil for tomorrow. whoop !

Great tip on the landings , will give it a try barefoot and try to focus on absorbing the shock like you said. Yeah think I will stick to level 2 for now , hopefully will be able to start level 3 on Friday - good idea using water bottles as weights too, thanks ! :)
