Couch to 5K
I am planning on starting Couch to 5k tonight. I want to log this accurately but cannot find it on the exercise log. Does anyone know/have any suggestions what I can type to get this into my diary? Thanks!

Protein shake advice
Hi guys, I am just wondering if any of you have any advice on protein shakes and their effectiveness on weight loss. I was in our local health shop with my other half (who was in there to buy protein shakes-he is into weights and running and trying to build muscle) and I noticed a product called Sculptress by Maxitone.…

NSV-breaking up
My boyfriend and I broke up after 2 and a half years together last Sunday. I wasn't ready to talk about it as even though it was a mutual thing, it still blooming hurts-HARD. It's like the worst feeling ever. I love that guy-crazy for him. I'd marry him tomorrow but he isn't on the same page as me (sometimes isn't even on…

NSV
I had an old work mate message me on Facebook to tell me that she thought I looked pretty and slim. Wow-I'm pretty motivated at the moment anyways but this has added some extra sunshine into my day on a grey November afternoon in England. I weighed 44lbs more than I do now when we worked together.....so it feels really…

Graze.com (UK only)
Hey guys, I have recently signed up to Graze.com to be delivered to my office once a week on a Tuesday to improve the quality of my snacking and to try some new ideas. I haven't disliked anything so far. Today I had little Pepperdoms and mango chutney for 97 kcals. A good mid-morning pick me up. I have half of my office…

Kick my *kitten*!
Right-I have done well-I'll be the first to pat myself on the back but for the last year I have been losing and gaining the same 7lbs. Why have I got this barrier up that stops me progressing? I want this-I'm hungry for it. Before I went away on my holiday to Italy-I pretty much gave up a week before, then holiday was…

I'm hungry!
Nothing new there-I'm like the fat puppy Roley out of 101 Dalmations. I know it's because I am just entering the last 30 mins of my working day and I'm winding up. My other half is coming over for food and that won't be until at least 7pm (it's currently 5pm). In need of some motivation.....I'm off to fill my jug up and…

NSV-from work mate
I had another NSV this morning. My colleague and friend Steve( who I used to sit near but has moved to a different part of the office so I don’t see him that often) came up to me this morning and asked if I have lost weight recently as my face is looking slimmer and I'm looking really good. I tell you what I could have…

So called friends
I have a very good friend who is a wonderful friend in all other ways apart from dieting-she has never had a weight problem. I am constantly being told that I am setting myself up to fail and all these negative things. We meet up for dinner once a week-I usually cook but tonight we are going to hers. This friend knows I am…

NSV-shopping when STARVING
I had my own little NSV moment-I have just come back from a business meeting in a hotel at 1pm. Usually I get fed-for some reason I didn't today (probably a good thing so I'm not too annoyed). I typically eat my lunch at 12:45 and by the time my meeting finished it was 14:40. I had to go to the supermarket where in a…

Good morning
Good morning everyone-wishing you a very good day on your weightloss journey. It's grey and miserable here in the UK today but I'm feeling sunny positive and strong today-slightly worried about a business lunch I need to attend but I have an ultra healthy dinner planned-so I'm not too worried. xx

Abs work out using ab roller
(you know the equiptment I mean-its like a metal frame that is like a circle that supports your neck whilst doing crunches) I have one of these.....does anyone have any guidance on a really good workout with them. I want to work damn hard on it as I have my holiday coming up. Tips and links to sites warmly welcomed. (any…

Binge eating…why do I do it?
I know that I have a problem and have always had a problem with binge eating but this week is the first time I have ever really admitted it to myself. There is a really nice guy at work who always buys me little treats and I have said that I’ll return this favour by always having chocolate to hand. Now, this has never been…

Finally into the 170's from 222lbs
Had my own little party this morning when I lost 3.5 lbs this week. This means I have 28.5 lbs to go before my target (which may go lower when I get there). So happy right now that I couldn't resist showing off a little this morning. :blushing: xx

Do you use your food log as a planner or as a log of what yo
Sometimes I do both-I'm just wondering what everyone else does? For me, if I have a rough plan of what I am going to eat (by programming everything in that I expect to eat), I can use my calories a bit better rather than thinking "oh no-I have overeaten with that big hunk of [insert vice here]".

Does/did anyone have about 30-35 lbs to lose?
I have around about that much to lose until I am in the middle of the healthy weight range. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who had a similar target. I would love to get to my target for November this year-if I average 2lbs a week that should do it. Has anyone achieve this target from a similar starting…

Motivation
Does anyone else feel there was a single moment where you felt in the right mind set for losing weight? I have been losing weight for quite some time now-but the last year (due to lots of reasons-finding out I have a rare genetic form of liver disease) I have been plateauing and hovering around the same half stone-I don’t…

Water-how much is a glass?
I am confused by how much a glass is. In my cupboard at home I have small glasses, medium glasses, large glasses, extra large super size jumbo glasses, shot glasses and wine glasses. I also wear glasses. How much is a glass in litres. I have heard you should drink 1.5-2 litres of water per day-I must drink way more than…

Bad week-new start
I had a really bad week last week-I had to go out for seveal meals and it was my boyfriends birthday-all these things added up to a bad week on the scales. I am feeling really focused today, so hopefully I will get the flow back this week. Does anyone have any good kick starting tips? I'm currently healing from an injury…

First week-4lbs down
I'm super proud of this-not only was it tough picking my weakest week of the month hormone wise but I also had a weekend away where food was totally out of control. I was bad for two of the days but I was confident it would be ok as I had stuck so rigidly during the week. I have now that I am setting myself a 2lb per week…
