"I'm down 2 stone 3 lbs now and starting to actually notice the difference on myself, got into my slightly thinner jeans that haven't fit for 18 months, they only just fasten but it's still progress My neighbours also now think I'm mental because I've been doing a lot of skipping while humming Eye of the Tiger in the back garden. " I bought a skipping rope then realised the last time I skipped was before I had boobs.. Need to invest in a good sports bra. | |||

"Reading this thread has made me even more determined to get off my lazy ass and get fit. Well done to all of you who have stuck with your get fit and healthy routine. I'm now on a mission. Xx" Thank you! Would never have had a pic taken without a top 4 months ago! Now i want to show off my progress so much it's my profile! Just go, the sooner you start the happier you'll be. 6 months is going to pass whether you want it to or not, but how you feel about yourself in 6 months is only up to you...... | |||

I pick something up and think I will never fit into that and do. Buying underwear and clothes straight of the shelf is amazing and not needing the biggest size. Also jay notices how much less room I take up especially in bed. I had a really down week but being really positive this week. | |||

I will still be half a stone over what I should be but I don't want to look gaunt in the face. Think I was made to carry a few extra lbs but realization is just setting in that I'm nearly average and not fat. Must do more pictures as I've lost 1 1/2stone since my last ones where taken. | |||

"Well I've been using myfitnesspal for 45 days which pretty much is my counter for how long it's been since I got my head out of my sizeable arse. Basically eating super duper healthy and plenty of exercise which is getting easier! I'm really enjoying it. I've lost 11lb but it feels like more as my shape is changing. Took delivery of a new (to me) bike today and I'm looking forward to new two wheeled adventures " I'm still not enjoying exercise I don't think I ever will, it still feels like a necessary evil rather than something I'll ever enjoy. I don't even feel I get the 'boost' afterwards that everyone talks about, I just want to eat a Boost. | |||

"Since I was poorly in December I struggled to get the energy back in Jan and totally lost motivation. 16 weeks on and motivation is still an issue. Work and home commitments offer just enough reason to not train properly. Losing flexibility, speed and muscle tone. I need a jolt to get me going again. Cattle prod?? " That would get me moving at least | |||

"Well I've been using myfitnesspal for 45 days which pretty much is my counter for how long it's been since I got my head out of my sizeable arse. Basically eating super duper healthy and plenty of exercise which is getting easier! I'm really enjoying it. I've lost 11lb but it feels like more as my shape is changing. Took delivery of a new (to me) bike today and I'm looking forward to new two wheeled adventures I'm still not enjoying exercise I don't think I ever will, it still feels like a necessary evil rather than something I'll ever enjoy. I don't even feel I get the 'boost' afterwards that everyone talks about, I just want to eat a Boost." It's a real first for me to be enjoying it! I almost feel like something has just clicked into place in my head. Better late than never?! | |||

But give me a weughts room and a squat rack and im a happy camper " I reckon this is the key - find something you like. I never really liked cardio much, so I tend to lift more than anything else. I do like my circuit training these days though, mostly because it serves to remind me how far I've come, there was a time when I struggled with 10 pressups and now 45 seems like it aint too much effort. | |||

"So far lost 22lbs through diet alone. Starting cross fit soon. If it wasn't for swinging I'd have never got off my also to work out " Be very careful with cross fit most of the instructors are terrible and have you doing lifts that can cause severe injury often with bad form and little practice. | |||

"Some chicken that mate ?? when you lower your carbs are you having higher fats for energy levels ??" Yes I like chicken lol and thats right I do have more fats from nuts and things for energy. I do perform good still on 200g carbs, usually my carbs are around 600g a day. | |||

"Ive been totally shocking, a family's BBQ and a couple of other parties and I fell of the wagon in a huge way. A few lbs gained (nothing a few weeks behaving won't cure) Today ive had chicken, eggs and green salad for lunch with some beetroot. More chicken and a lot more green salad for dinner and some lovely fresh cherries just now. Gotta shed load of Turkey being delivered tomorrow and plenty of green veg/salad so I'm on a mission to shred some fat this week. Gym In the morning. It's my birthday In 3 weeks so Id like to be back where I was by then " You look ok to me Shit happens I'm in Turkey I've fallen right off the wagon | |||

Replace fizzy drinks with mineral water | |||

Instantly kills any hunger cravings.. For a while anyway | |||

What healthy food will give me the instant fix I need?" Get stevia/truvia. It's a calorie free sweetener and its natural so no nasty artificial stuff. You can get it in powder or tablet and you can also get caramel/vanilla flavour stevia syrup. I find a nice hot cuppa with some stevia and like thx says a protein shake then a good protein meal sorts ME out. I'm always ravenous after a workout and eat loads but just the right stuff. | |||
