"I'm 19lbs down since January, just motivating myself to keep going. It takes a good few stone to be able to see a difference on myself, but at the weekend even my mum said I looked like I'd lost weight (and she doesn't do compliments) so that feels like a mini achievement in itself! " It's always nice when someone else notices | |||

"I'm slowly losing but seem to be stuck having lost 17lbs since 5th jan. I have been increasing my exercises gradually (abs, and squats mainly) so wonder if that may be why I seem to have reached a bit of a stand still?" Are you eating enough? When I started doing much more exercise I stopped losing weight as I wasn't eating enough, upped my cals with lots more protein and losses started again x | |||

"I've managed to get leaner in the past two months, though I'm still weighing in at 14 stone which I'm pleased with. My chest is 11" bigger than my waist and I'm putting size on my bi's, tri's, delts and quads so it's all good I'm training a 5 day split and my diet has been reasonably strict so I'm making good progress " If your pics are anything to go by you look great | |||

I remember hitting a wall at about 2 stone - for several weeks - and only lost the last stone by cutting my portion sizes down by 20%. It was horrid for a week or so - but my stomach soon shrunk and now I could never eat as much as I used to! I've found that the weight has stayed off too! Please let me know how you get on and feel free to pm me if you hit any hitches! Xx | |||

"I have leg day tomorrow. Yay!! My favourite day!! Especially as this week it's with my PT, he always pushes me further on leg day. Then on Friday I have curcuit training with him. His current favourite punishment, I mean routine, is an 8 exercise curcuit followed by 1km on the rower as HIIT. This is usually the day I call him every 4 letter word I'm able to utter." Is that sexy and love - reds going to kick my arse for that | |||

"Parkrun 46 in the bag today. Was slower than last week but my legs wresting hunting from Thursday's epic run plus I stopped to help a little girl that had lost her dad cos I'm nice like that " Awwww - hope you found him quickly? I'm off for a fun swim with the kids today. Trying to get my daughter - who wants to do 'crafty' things and watch tv all day - to exercise more! She's very slender - but needs far more activity than she gets! Xx | |||

"Yay i actually lost this week. ...a whole entire pound I've set my goals on My Fitness Pal to 1lb a week. I'd rather it came off slowly and stayed off than quickly and I break and go on a binge." I use that too but I've got so much to lose that i thought I'd start assuming to lose 2 lb a week and then when i get over halfway where i want to be then aim for 1 lb a week. ....not quite going to plan but going in the right direction none the less | |||

"Yay i actually lost this week. ...a whole entire pound " Well done you! Next time you go to the supermarket, look at a pound of lard or dripping. Then pick it up. It's actually pretty heavy - and the fat you lost looks just like a 'sloshier' verson of that! It's an achievement! Well done you!! | |||

"Does anyone have fitness pal app? I find it really help full with keeping track of calories" Tracking my calories is the only way I can lose weight. I was very happy to be able to get the MFP app on my new phone. | |||

I started out at 14st 12.5lbs, I'm now 13st 10lbs. | |||

"5lbs down this week and 6 inches off this month! I have no idea how as I was eating cake on Tuesday. Lots of cake. I am sure next weekend won't be the same, seeing as I'll be eating and drinking in Barcelona Looks like the exercise classes are working though." Nice one.. I've been pretty good this week after last weeks 3 day binge plus a night out Saturday so I'm hoping for a good lb or 2 off on Monday!! | |||

"Well we are nearly 2 months into the new year already and I good that everyone is keeping up with their goals whatever they are.. I decided to eat like a big fat pig all day yesterday and I've woken up today feeling rotten so I'm on a detox the rest of the week. Need to sort out the constant nagging to eat sweet stuff!! My mini goal was to get under 9 1/2 stone by the end of march and I'm well on track for that so any extra is a bonus!! " You planned well and you seem to have concition many of the people I saw when I was working in a gym used to say 'I want to get fit for my resolution' , but did not have either the conviction or the well planed min goals and direction to be able to acheive it so they dropped out. | |||
