I think my bike is k per hour - it just says speed. It's normally at around 30:00, which is apparently around 18mph. I do level 4 on my bike in terms of resistance but I don't know how that compares to other bikes. It gives cals but it says it's for an average height, average weight woman and that came up as 20 cals less…

Good job! Well done!! xox

I still hate water, but I used to drink a lot of coke. I never have or want to have full fat coke any more, even when I have a 'day off'. I consider that a victory.

I can definitely see a difference between the first and last photos in your profile. Your stomach looks a lot flatter and firmer, well done.

I have it around TOM where I never had it before, but not at other times.

Every cloud has a silver lining, I guess!

I saw that on biggest loser and thought I might give it a try some time - or spaghetti bolognaise with ground turkey.

You've done a great job. Such a difference in such a short amount of time, I'm jealous! I'm loving your top and you have such a pretty face! I'm currently wearing jeans that I haven't worn since I was 17 (8 years ago!) and they're also a lot lower than I'm used to, but I'm getting used to them. Well done, you look great!

I've been having this problem...I can't say I drop a size every month though, unfortunately! Thanks for the tip!

I don't think it's that it's bad for you, unless it's strength training. If you're doing a lot of weights then it's good to mix up the muscle sets you do because they need time to rest. In terms of cardio, you can do as much as you like but what you might be referring to is that sometimes you need to change it up because…

Hi - I'm aiming for 122lb weight loss to get me to 154lbs, a few lbs lower than my highest ideal weight for my height. I've lost 66 of those pounds so far. I was in the same boat, until this time round I had only ever managed a few days before giving in on a diet. I'm almost a year in now (would be a lot further but had a…

One tip though - I find that if I eat too low on the day before I weigh in that my body hangs on to the weight and I see a bad result on the scale, so I always make friday (I weigh on Sat) a higher day.

I do that on Weight Watchers as they say you can save a certain amount of points per day and use on other days. I have a high day on a Saturday so I can have take away or eat out or a piece of cake or something and it keeps me on track because then almost nothing is forbidden in small amounts at least. The rest of the week…

I don't know - I try to focus on the positive but it's very hard sometimes. I feel like when the diet is going well I can focus, not on how much I hate my body, but how I am working towards a better one and it won't be like this forever. But, I still hate how I look and have trouble realising the significance of how much I…

Another scouser here...Nice to see people closer to home! Add me if you like xox

Liverpool here =)

I saw differences in measurements, but I didn't see it in the mirror until around 30lbs. Some people see it quicker, but I think I have my eyes closed! I find it hard to see a difference now, 4 dress sizes down!

I'm from Liverpool. Been here a while but I do WW so I don't really use the food diary. Add me if you like =)

I love Quorn and eat it all the time. I love meat but it's easier and cheaper than buying fresh chicken and such. I do weight watchers and it's much lower in points too. I love the Peppered Steaks which are only 1.5 points or 3 propoints for anyone doing WW.

Thanks for all your replies - I'm wondering whether to get the EA Sports instead of Your Shape now...

Wow...looking good. Well done.

Wow, you look great, well done!

Not losing/ gaining and not knowing why. I just try to stick with it and hope it doesn't happen again next week. I try to figure out a plan to ensure weight loss the next week or figure out what I did wrong, if anything, and once I have a plan I feel better...

I like it - I think it would look good on you. You definitely don't look in your 40s.

Wow, you're doing great! Well done!

I'm glad that there was one boy that had the courage to stand up and apologise for his friends' behaviour. I think a lot of adults would struggle with that. Well done for being happy in yourself and not caring. I hope to follow you to that place one day.

Wow, lookin' hot!

I don't think it makes a significant difference to the points. For example, a protein rich quorn steak (1.5 to 3) has now doubled but my bag of mini oreo cookies has only gone up by 1 point (from 2 to 3), so I don't think it's necessarily protein good, carbs bad. And, as always on WW, you can spend your points on whatever…

Hi Pitapocket, I'm starting the new plan today, so if you add me I'll let you know how it goes when I WI next Saturday. I wouldn't say it was a low carb diet as such. It says that things high in protein and fiber are less points, but from the things I've worked out, most things have gone up as have your points, so you can…

Wow, well done! You look amazing!
