Hello and welcome to the site! Where abouts are you in the UK? I'm in Derbyshire, and my biggest advice is to make it fun. If you like walking and you want something a bit different and interesting, try geocaching for example (www.geocaching.com you can walk at your own pace so it's fine if you need to take it slowly, and…

I wish you the best of luck in your diet. Most of what to eat and what not to eat is common sense, but knowing what you should be eating and actually eating it are two very different things, so my best advice is to do it slowly. For example you know that you should be eating 5 fruit and veg a day, so try to incoporate that…

Hello and welcome to the site

Hello and welcome to the site! I wish you luck in getting into a size ten again!

My hair is pretty long, but I'm looking to cut it to around shoulder length soon.

I found that a lot when I get depressed, the thing that works best for me is about an hour to two hours before bed I used to do pretty intense workouts, anything from dance, to using the gymn equipment my mum frequently bought, and then after I worked up a huge sweat I'd sit and meditate as part of my cool down. As I…

Hello and good luck on your journey!

I'll hold you accountable if you'll do the same for me.

I'm a little bit taller than you wanted, 5'10" but looking to loose about 20lb...

Well done! Who cares if it is just water weight, the fact that you feel better for it shows that it's a very posative step in the right direction! Keep it up!

Hello and welcome to the site! Congratulations on your weight loss thus far!

Yes, when you have lost your period through weight issues then you are seriously underweight and need to talk to your doctor who will help you. Too thin is when you are not getting enough nutrients to run your body correctly, loosing your period is a very serious thing and you have some potential dangerous health problems…

It really depends on the person. 10lb is obvious on my frame, but on other people if can be over 28lb until someone notices. It depends on how much weight you have on you and how much that weight shows.

Crunches are pretty much the only exercise I do aside from walking. The whole muscle over fat thing is ridiculous, muscle eats fat, it does not just ignore it and sit on top of it. I do five minutes of crunches, which is currently around the 140 mark, different ones though, regular crunches, bicycle crunches, reverse…

I own a scale...I think it's somewhere in the bathroom, maybe under one of the cabinets, but the last time I tried to use it it just kept shouting LO at me, which I took to mean "There's a reason no one can believe that you're on a diet, get off the scales and work out if you want to see a healthy change" only...my scale…

For me, working out gets rid of the cramps so I tend to do more around TOM...

Attention *kitten*? Not you, the lady putting on that much weight, that's really the only reason for making yourself so morbidly obese that you literally won't be able to look after yourself.

For me I try and do one day exercising, one day relaxing because it's easiest to stick to. But when I was loosing inches the fastest I exercised 6 days a week and rested on the 7th. I also did Cardio for at least an hour. Strength...it varies. I did it for as long as I could. At the moment I do 5 minutes of strength…

I felt like that at 5'10 and 126lbs :P Loosing weight won't make you feel skinny, and that's normal. Self image and reality are very different things. And self image can often be harder than loosing the weight.

Not always, you can loose inches but gain weight. Also you can loose inches without there being any change in your weight. Program: a plan or schedule of activities, procedures, etc., to be followed. For example, P90x, C25K and so on

I include strength training as well as cardio and calorie counting. And while I can't speak for everyone else...in school I was this skinny slip of a thing. I was 5'10 and weighed 9stone but I still had jiggly bits. When I lost weight last year I added strength training (in school it was ALL cardio) and I managed to get…

I can't pace myself. I was badly bullied throughout school and my body soon learned that when I ran it was usually that or end up in hospital so I ran full tilt for as long as I could. To this day when I go out it's either walking or run as fast as I can for as long as I can and collapse in a heap :P I just can't find a…

hehe I know that feeling well, feel free to add me ^_^ I'll happily talk till the cows come home ^_^

If I'm understanding you right, yes, that's how your body works...You're body doesn't just take 24 hours at a time, it averages out over a week or so. It's best to try and keep it even day over day to make it easier for your body, but over eating Monday and working more than usual off on Teusday will balance out.

I...have no idea what the difference is between the two... I thought an exercise buddy was someone you exercised with offline? I'd love someone to challenge me offline, but...I still don't really know anyone here T_T
