Starting weight was 187lbs, I'm now 157lbs. Original goal was 158lbs but new goal is…

Help with Weights
I've been doing just cardio workouts for about 4 months now. I'm looking ok and have very nice toned arms and legs from all my running and swimming but I need to tone up my core. I've got another 10lbs ish to lose so I know that'll help but I'm thinking that I need to do some weights maybe? I got my gym trainer to do me a…

Success using Wii games?
Hi Everyone I'm trying to lose about 25lbs but I'm struggling with exercise. I hate it with a passion. I'm totally gym phobic and I can't run for more than 5 mins at a time. I work in an office so I'm sat down most of the day. I'm walking for an hour 3-4 times a week and I'm using Wii Fit Biggest Loser for 30 mins every…

Today's NSV
Went shopping this morning and tried on some UK size 14 trousers in Next and discovered they were too big!!! Just a few months ago a size 16 was too small. My goal was to get back to size 12 which I have now done. I have never ever been a UK size 10 (Ok maybe when I was like 13 years old or something) so that is my new…

Why do people do this??
Last night my fiance and I went to the gym late so there was only like 4 people in there including us. Out of the 25 treadmills our gym has, there's a row of 9 right at the front so you can watch the TVs while working out so we went in that row. I got going on the treadmill on the end but my fiance found the one next to me…

Aaarrrgghhhh Stupid Plateau!!!
I thought I'd finally broken my 172lbs plateau when I dipped down to 171.25 yesterday but back up to 172lbs today. I know it could be water weight and I feel a little bloated but I am sooooo frustrated. I lost 11lbs without any exercise at all then three weeks ago I joined the gym. I now exercise 6 days a week and burn…

Losing inches from everywhere except boobs!!
I've dropped a good few inches off waist and hips but my boobs are not getting any smaller so the more weight I lose, the more out of proportion I look. I'm wearing UK size 12 jeans but I tried on a size 14 dress the other day and it wouldn't do up over my chest. I'm doing weight training as well as heavy cardio but I'm…

Question for the Ladies!
Hi all, I've been wondering this for a while so hope you can shed some light. Does being on your period cause your body to hold water? I've noticed for the last few months that I have a slight gain of like half a pound around my period then I'll stick at that weight for a few days before starting to lose again. I know its…

Confused about Calories
I'm really confused about how many cals I should be eating. I'm 5ft 7 and 174lbs with a target of 154lbs. I was sticking to 1200 a day a couple of months ago, doing very minimal exercise and I lost 11lbs over around 7 weeks. I've now joined a gym and am doing workouts every day burning 400-600 cals (mostly cardio but with…

I hate exercise soooooo much!!
Yes I hate it. With a passion. I cannot find a single activity that I enjoy doing but I know if I don't do anything I'll just get fatter and fatter. I am doing Wii Biggest Loser which actually kills me so it must be doing some good but I don't know if its enough. Anyone got any wise words to share with me to give me a bit…

This is Me!
Hello everyone, Thought I should introduce myself. I'm Nicky from England and I've gotten a bit too fat!! When I met my fiance 6 years ago I was 158lbs. My weight was steady at 168lbs until last year when I had two miscarriages and eating became my emotional crutch so I crept up to 187lbs. I've managed to drop down to 180…
