For all those struggling....
Today I did something I always promised myself I would do if i got to this point and had a day like today; where i would very easily give up, log out of MFP, eat eat eat and let myself down again. I read over my old posts. I read my first post about why I wanted to lose weight. The words of encouragement from others. I…

Getting it right, finally!
I feel like I'm finally getting it right. I've tried so many times but can say, hand on heart, this is the furthest I've ever come. I can tell its now cause of the people who are really noticing... I'm at the lightest I've been for I actually dont know how long - probably since I was about 15 (which is hugely worrying) and…

NSV... x8
Oh I'm happy... happy happy happy... and it's days like today that make me more determined to carry on. I'm getting healthier for myself. That's my number one priority but outsiders definitely have an influence - especially when you feel you're lacking that "kick" to work that bit harder.... Today... I met up with two of…

A couple of my most recent NSV's.... :)
First - At the weekends I work in a local pub, one of my friends boyfriends came up to me and asked me if I had been walking along past the station that day, I had, and he said "I thought I saw you, I thought it was you but wasn't sure - cause you've lost so much weight recently haven't you I really wasnt sure it was you…

My goal prize....
I've finally decided. This whole time I've thought "Dunno what I'll do when i reach my goal, buy something nice maybe?!" And today I realized exactly want I want and have wanted for aaages! I'm going to have a full body massage. I've never had one before because I hated my body, so I think that will be a realy treat for…

Slowly getting more angry with myself....
Over the past few weeks I've become more and more slack with my weightloss. I've stupily done what I've always done before. I dont WANT to give up. I really don't. I just cant see it going any other way. Does that sound really bad?? Every night I've been going to bed determined to do better the next day - then that day…

Struggling
I started my placement on Monday and I'm already struggling. Sat at my desk all day so barely moving - then sat on a train for 90mins there and 90 mins back. Leaves very little time in my day to be active. Also eating wise I go to eat with my new colleagues - the places they go have very little low-fat vegetarian friendly…

Running tracking apps...
I just got a new blackberry. Does anyone know any apps for my new phone that will track how far I run.... with like time/maybe calories etc? Thanks! :)

Help - tough few weeks coming up...
Next Friday I'm having an operation on my toe - doctors have said I wont be able to do any "proper" exercise on it for about 7-10 days cause of pressure/bleeding. Which means no gym..... no running and cause I cant get it wet... No swimming!! :( I'm dreading it!! I'm convinced Im gonna just get used to not exercising and…

First progress pics... 28lb down. :/
Hope it worked below....

I <3 spinning..... who knew?!?!
I went to my first spinning class today and I was genuinely terrified. I was convinced I would have to stop half way through or would be an absolute wreck afterwards. But here I am. One spinning class down and booked in again for Thursday and Friday. I LOVED IT! And whats more I felt so good afterwards. I went in there in…

I tried pretty much every month to see if I'd fit in them and even last time when I tried to lose weight they didnt come close but today..... TODAY... they FIT FIT FIT..... and are even a lil' bit loose!!!! WOOOOOP!…

NSV - Literally lighter in water...
I know in water you always feel a lot lighter. But today was the first time I actually FELT 25 pound lighter when I was in the pool!! When swimming, I just felt... LIGHTER. Definitely made me happier and like I could swim faster!

Today was a big day for me.
I started this healthier eating part of my life just confiding in MFP. When I started to lose some weight my mum asked about it so I told her. Today at badminton with my friend she was like "you really look like you've lost weight"....... it was the first time any of my friends had noticed or said anything at least. I was…

Exercise the day before weigh in...
Today I did a fair amount of exercise, an hours walk, a gym session, swimming and the 30DS (So cardio and strength). It's my weigh in tomorrow, will this effect it cause of muscles or water....? I don't really know how it works or even if it will have an effect but am interested to know.

Excercise to supplement 30DS...
I'm currently on day 3 of 30DS... I've swam for two of those days to burn some extra cals. I want to go to the gym too a couple of times a week - is this recommended and also what kind of 1hour exercise routine would you reccommend to work well with the shred? I'll continue to swim a few times a week but any suggestions or…

How things have changed...
Today was my exercise rest day. I walked gently for a while but knew I needed to rest. A day spent what I now call "resting" would have been an average day for me just a few months ago. And a day doing some form of exercise would have been a rare, one-off thing. But I ended up spending most of the day thinking.. "oooh, I…

A NSV that made me smiiile...
Today I was at work and one of the girls who I havent seen in a few weeks said to me... "How did you lose so much weight?" - not, "wow, have you lost weight?" or anything like that. Considering she knew nothing about me losing weight it made me think... wow it must ACTUALLY show if she can definitely tell I've lost some.…

NSV - I've passed it.

A BIG wake up call...
Today I went to my doctors about my ingrowing toenail - I'm due for an operation in September. I'd had an operation last year and it returned and the dcotor said this time that the liklihood of it coming back was tiny so was very shocked at how bad this one is. He examined my feet and was worried about the poor condition…

My first proper NSV... :)
Earlier when I was going upstairs to my room my mum "shhhhh-ed" me as I went up because my niece was asleep in the room next door. I wondered why she had "sshhhhh-ed" me just going upstairs then I realised I was running up the stairs and thinking about it thats what I always do now - I hadn't really noticed it but for the…

Having a toe operation...
In a months time I am having an operation on my toe so have been told I wont be able to put much weight on it which means limited walking and running/gym is pretty much out of the question for a week. And cause it will be banaged I can't get it wet which also means no swimming... Any recomendations for some light exercise…

Skinny Eton Mess
I've just had this for my pudding. Possibly the nicest pudding I've had since I've started eating healthy so I had to share it - even if it has been done before, people who havent seen it will see this new post. To make for one: 6 medium strawberries halved. 1/2 meringue (you can use a whole one if you fancy!) crumbled and…

Sodium question - too little?!
I only started looking at my sodium intake a few days ago when I included it in my diary options and looking back over the past two weeks I've been significantly under my 2500g a day recommendation. I rarely make it over 1,000 but am eating my calories/carbs/protien. Is that bad for me? I'm a vegetarian, I don't put salt…
