C25K is part of the fitness plan. I've been focusing on my diet and getting my eating under control and now I feel like I need to start the fitness side.

People can walk it? So if I get too puffed out I could walk and run alternately? Thank you, that sounds great.

Thanks for all the advice...I'm finding it ok without having to buy the substitutes but I have been caught out a couple if times by just assuming a food couldn't possibly have gluten but after feeling like poo I've read the wrapper and yep it contained gluten. To get tested I have to go back to eating gluten and I don't…

thank you

I will be hitting Google hard tonight. It's like a lightbulb has gone off.....the worst that can happen is I don't feel any better.

Aching muscles! yes! Again I was told I had mild fybromyalgia...I am definitely going to do this. Brain fog I get daily.......

Thank you both of yo I will give this a go for a while and see if it all gets a bit better....I have been made out to be a crazy hypochondriac by doctors....one even told me all my symptoms were present because I was fat, I was 22 at the time and I was devestated! I was 3 stone lighter then too! It looks really hard! Do…

Please excuse me if this is plain rude and you do not have to answer but do you and your daughter experience the same symptoms as I do?

Thank you for the kind replies...I have just been researching healthy weight loss (need to focus on HEALTHY and not quick fix) and I did the Road Map thing. Need to keep the focus on becoming healthy and not what I look like, Im sorry if I came across as vain. Just had a proper freak out moment! Yes 6 months is long enough…

Hi, I have a family of 4 to feed on a low income and I have found some fantastic recipes on Allrecipes and on the Goodfood websites. I buy a lot of food discounted like chicken, pork etc in the supermarkets at the end of the day then freeze them straight away. I have just discovered lentils too and I manage to sneak them…

Hi there, I'm getting married 26th August and also obese on BMI charts. I want to drop 2 dress sizes for the wedding. Add me if you want to and we can motivate each other! I have ordered my dress and waiting for 1st fitting. Hoping to drop some weight by then, hopefully it won't come in until march! I've just given up…

I tried calling them a few minutes ago but they would only add me to a special offer mailing list :-( We def dont need a year, will be very relaxed and we only have 60 on the guest list so no huge wedding to prepare for!

I'm no where near my goal yet but was very close before I fell pregnant with my youngest. I wasn't upset about gaining weight as I had an excuse, I was terrified of getting to goal and not being able to maintain. I'm scared of putting it all back on again once I finally get there...sad but true.

Pizza-large dominos Packs of biscuits especially Fox's Viennese fingers Family size bags of crisps. At my worst time eating and emotionally I pretty much nearly had the whole menu of McDonald's. quarter pounder, double cheeseburger, chicken nuggets, chicken legend, about 3 lots of fries and milkshakes! But...I still eat…

Hi there, if its any help New Balance ones are the the ones I personally use. They give me really good support and are very comfortable. I got mine online from sportsdirect.com.

I use this too.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 Hi, the above link really helped me. I've been losing slowly, but losing. I followed the instructions and manually changed my goal calories. It will work out exactly what you need to be eating. I don't know if this is any help, I hope…

Thanks for the replies. 6 months ago this would have had me on a slippery slope but not this time. Thanks for giving some much needed perspective :-)

Thanks, I can get a little blinkered. Maybe stay away from the scales until I'm all sorted.

I want to be you! Wow! You should be incredibly proud your arms are flipping amazing!

Wow! You need to keep me in check! You should be very pleased with yourself, can't believe what a difference 31lbs makes!

Was hoping to see a difference as I've lost inches due to resistance training. I do keep reading in here that it takes a good 6-12 weeks to see a difference and its only been a month if me consistently training so maybe another month :-)

Well here they are. Accountability. First is from Easter (celebrating Doctor Who series premiere...shhh) second is today. I know the first one isn't great for comparing but it's all I have.

I took a pic...hated it. I can't see a difference at all. Maybe in six months time x

Wow you are all so encouraging. Having a day out with the kids today so will suck it up and take a pic! Then I have to figure out how to post on here!

Thank you both for taking the time to respond. I really do appreciate it. Maybe in a few months I will feel brave enough to take a new picture and fingers crossed I will be pleasantly surprised. Thank you for your wise words.

THIS! I don't know why it's such a big deal to me but would love to not have to have "cover up" tops for my muffin top

The only "light" foods I eat in nearly a daily basis are yoghurts, laughing cow cheese triangles, cereal bars and fat free vinigarette. I used to eat "light" everything but never felt full and once I started tracking I here I realised how much sugar I was consuming with these products. I know the light yoghurts I eat are…

Lol! The sisters were brilliant! It was an interesting watch...bbc2 have had some good programmes on weight and food recently
