struggling
So my mom is over visiting me from Canada for 3 weeks and its great....but its making eating hard and its only day 2!!! I've totally lost my routine. As well being out and about which has meant food on the go and my mom has a major sweet tooth which means sweet stuff coming into the house. She's really proud of what I have…

NSV
Well despite having a gain in weight while away in AFrica to get married, I did have a NSV while there. I got on the plane and I didn't have to ask for a seat belt extension!! It was great. The arms weren't digging into my legs (I used to be bruised afterwards!). The table tray was able to come all the way down and slide…

bad joints :(
Hey all, I have started taking glucosamine as its supposed to help with the old joints! I creak like I'm 112 some days and my knees and ankles have suffered under years of abuse from my weight. They are getting much better with all the weight coming off but still have pain. Has anyone else tried glucosamine? Did it work?…

guilt
So I've been working out 6 days a week (pretty much consistently) for the last 14 months. I've had a busy day today and need to relax and have spent the last hour agonizing about not going to the gym today. I don't really want to go but I am feeling guilty about not going. It seems silly, I workout really hard every time I…

Fear of the old food
So prior to starting my journey 14mos ago, I was the queen of take away and sneak eating:blushing: . I'd pop down to the shop and bring home a bag of chips/crisps...pringles were my favourite. And as the afternoon or evening passed, I would munch my way through the whole thing - and then hide the evidence before my…

NSV moment
I bought a skirt thats a size 24 (UK)....now while to some that's still really big, I was a 32 when I started! YAY!! I don't ever remember being able to buy this size. And I needed this on the week when I had a little gain. :bigsmile:

cardio help!
I find cardio super boring and therefore hard to stick with....much prefer circuit training as can encourage myself with the idea of its only 1 more set of 15! Any tips for how to get through a cardio session?

I want to swim but.....
When I started working out over a year ago I did a fair bit of swimming. Its something i have always done and I do love to swim. I have no fear of people looking at me (I figure I am trying to do something about it and if they don't realise that, well then screw them!) :tongue: Here is my problem: I love being down in the…

cheat days
I've been changing my life for the last 13mos and had success. That said, its been over the last two weeks that I have been super conscious about the food that I am eating. I seeing people talking about having cheat days and such but I'm undecided. Part of me would really like to go ahead and have a day where I was…

water intake
Silly question but my searching on the internet has given me conflicting results. Does a cup of tea count towards water intake? Some websites say yes, some say no. Wondering what the gerneal concensus is.... :huh:

Does eating out = not eating the rest of the day??
So I've been surfing restaurant websites as I get ready to go and meet my best mate for lunch. Basically if I eat at lunch I will be looking at having almost no calories, fat or protein left for the day. How do you manage eating out???

Not hungry but wanting to eat.....help!!
So I've had some success so far (73lbs in the last 13mos) but I still have a long way to go until I reach my goal weight. I really love the gym now but food is my biggest enemy. I love it! My biggest problem is grazing. I find I eat when not hungry, just go into the kitchen to get something to munch and then…

New
Hiya! This wonderful looking site was suggested by my trainer. I've lost 73lbs in the last year and am looking to lose about another 100lbs...I think! This looks like it could be the key to continuing my journey.
