Back again
I joined this site a while back to loose weight for my wedding. Goal achieved. I left. I came back after having my daughter, unhappy with my new bod and trying to get my pre-mum bod back. Things happened and I left goal not achieved. I'm back with a more realistic viewpoint now. I am not interested in getting my pre mum…

Re-starting
I was on here a few years back when trying to loose weight for my wedding...I was successful and looked great on the day. I also managed to keep it off for a few years but things changed when I fell pregnant with my daughter. It was planned, but I suffered from some major complications and by my third trimester I was a…

Hunger pangs
I'm currently set to loose less than 1lb a week, but it's still so much less than I was eating before. Which is why I need to go on this diet to begin with I know...but it's really hard. I went dancing yesterday and that really crippled me. Doing the Charlston in heels having never done it before is NOT a good idea lol, So…

I'm really upset right now
I know I don't have a lot to loose, not compared to some people. But I'm really trying to make a change to my lifestyle. I want to get healthier. So does it really matter than I'm not exactly overweight? I'm not comfortable in my own skin, I look ugly (in my eyes), my once beautiful dancers body is slowly turning into a…

Vegetarian help?
My wonderful husband seems to delight in making life hard sometimes. I have a rather severe food phobia prohibiting me from eating fruit and veg almost entirely so he's decided to become vegetarian. Nothing bad about that except that he works all day while I'm the housewife and feeding him is my job. Ah, well here's the…

*shuffles in and looks guilty*
So when I first joined this site I had bought my wedding dress and I was basically on here to make sure that I could still get into it on the day. Well...turns out they had to alter it on the bust because while I had been keeping the same waistline, somehow my breasts finally hit puberty! But happily I fit into my gorgeous…

Looking for some support
I'm getting married in September. I came on here a year ago to try and loose some weight for the big day and I managed to quite easily with some support from family and on here.

Another yoga question
Ok, so as I said last time, I have a yoga app on my phone, basically it has routines to run through as well as instructions for different poses. I have three routines for my ability level. I put one on last time and struggled with on post, but as a whole the routine was ok. So here's my question, is it better to stick with…

The real benefits of yoga?
Does yoga have any real benefits? I mean, it's so sedate and calm, I've always used the basic beginner stuff as part of the meditative process. I can feel the muscles being stretched but I've never really felt any real benefits from it other than being able to relax and collect myself while still moving. But I have only…

Eating disorders arise from an unhealthy relationship with food. This can either be a pleasent relationship that encourages you to eat more, or an unpleasent one which causes you to eat less.

So I spend most of my day on my feet, running up and down stairs. or walking to the shops or town as I refuse to catch a bus unless I have to. Town is a mile away and the local shops are three…

Since I started loosing weight...

I've lost my mojo and am near quitting!
I started dieting for my wedding, and according to everything I wasn't overweight when I began. I weighed 171lb, but I'm 5'10" so I wasn't too big, just the large side of normal. I wanted to loose about 20-25lbs and reach the perfect height-weight ratio. However, after 11lbs I'm really starting to loose my mojo... I walk…

Free hands = absent feeding
I've been thinking about this a lot lately...A a kid I snacked ALL the time, even as an adult I used to snack a LOT! However, I stopped snacking for ages, and started again when I started spending time with my Fiancé...And I've stopped again now. SO I tried to locate the source of my snacking...What is it that makes me…

Low calorie snacks?
My fiancé has just joined this site after seeing how well it's worked for me however, he does 12 hour shift patterns, 4 days, 4 off, 4 nights, 4 off repeating and it's slowly killing him. Not to mention the fact that he' running his own small buisness on top of it! With any luck his buisness will take off and he can quit…

NSVs
Since joining this site I've lost two inches off my waist, which doesn't sound like much until I tell you that I was 34" on my waist, so every inch is a fair ammount off me and very visible! I'm so proud of myself for it. Anyway, I was snuggling on the sofa with my fiancé and he said to me "Next month, I'm joining that…

Cleaning?
I'm a housewife and as such I do "light cleaning" every day, dishes and the dog, plus laundry need taking care of every day and have formed part of my routine so I marked my activity level as lightly active to reflect that. However, today is my blitz day. A load of stuff piled up when I lost my cat and both Chris and I…

Jogging?
I want to start jogging properly. I can jog on the pot for a while now, but I want to actually go outside and jog around the lake. However, when I last went outside for some real jogging I couldn't pace myself correctly and ended up going too fast and almost tripping over or else walking, not jogging. :( The thing is, I've…

Tums and thighs...
I know that there's no way to gurantee weight loss off of specific areas, so I'm not even going to try, what I would like though are any excercises that I can do that work specifically on these areas. I need them to be simple, quick things I can incorprate into my morning routine. At the moment I'm doing sit-ups because I…

New and determined...
Hello everyone! I'm Angel, 24 from Cheterfield (UK) and a few months ago I moved in with my fiance...and my weight just started climbing.
