" WOW thats lush Evie.. been good this week, need 2 lb. for my official 3 stone and club 10. Gym might have buggered me up a smidge as the micro tears with make me retain water. Crossing my fingers i get away with it this week just to get my awards. I'll accept the gains over the next few weeks but i'll be working hard | |||

Think im holding a lot of water already " Yes but your outlook has changed already and that is the crucial bit! Have the Chinese and the birthday cake by all means- total abstinence from fats and sugars is unrealistic! But being able to get straight back on it, rather than eat badly for another week/day/next meal, is key! The gym will get better, just don't overdo it and get an injury like I have xxx | |||

I know how you feel though because you feel one weak day will ruin it all but I'm sure you'll be fine. The important thing is that your going in one way only..the right way. Your doing amazing and should feel proud of your effort and achievement. | |||

"Think because it was my first time and thought i was better than what i actually am. the circuit looked simple but was cream crackered after just 6 mins to the point my legs felt like jelly and wanted to be sick. I do give it my all and not a half hearted kinda girl, im going there for a reason and make sure i get my heart rate going. next time now i know what is in store i will do things with a slower pace and perhaps not go down so far on the squats or punch to hard " You're putting me to shame with the new exercise regime... However, I'm 3.5lbs down this week and achieved my Club 10 target. I'm chuffed as I never thought I'd get this far. Let us know how you get on too this week Her | |||

Wont be disheartened if i gain as im doing much more excercise " You are awesome!

"Wow I lost 2.5lb this week. I don't know how the hell as I thought I had an awful week Not been to gym and my ankle has been sore so not walking so much So now I have lost a total of 12kg since new year and I have a further 2.5lb to go to get to 2stone loss since new year 2 more people said to me in the office that I looked like i lost weight " i read somewhere that your body needs a refuel period where you eat pretty bad and it eliminates all excess water its held while youve been going the gym. x 2.5 is great! maybe the muscle is burning fat now x | |||

"Todays Gym session was just simply laps around the Sports Hall. In Oct/Nov time i was awarded a blue badge because my size made it very difficult to walk and i became exhausted very quickly (50m max).. so today when i found out i was walking i wasnt sure how well id do. Was over the moon when i managed 20 laps totalling 2.2 km in 20 mins. Was walking at a decent pace too (even added hand weights for the last 10 laps) heart rate was 155 ish Worked hard but really pleased as punch i achieved that. " Well done on working so hard. Are you combining it with a change of diet? I became vegan this year, not to lose weight but for animal welfare reasons but It has made me lose weight really quickly. I am having to add new foods and eat more often to remain at my ideal weight. | |||

"updates anyone? " I've signed up to a new gym, starting next week. Got to start gently as I've injured my leg - but they are helping me to work out what I can and can't do. Getting a food plan drawn up too, so majorly upping my protein and reducing carbs. Feeling inspired to get fitter for the warmer weather. How are you doing Cute? Sarah | |||

" How are you doing Cute? Sarah " Great that your making changes to your diet. I was told a healthy balanced diet is all you need for gym work unless your wanting to beef up. I asked about increasing protein and was told 'no' lol Im having a great week so far (mines Wed to Wed) so 3 days after weigh in. Im walking the Sports Relief mile and actually tried the route out today. Harder than i thought but being ankle deep in mud doesnt help. Completed it in 30 mins. Hoping the sunshine comes out and its nice firm ground :D | |||

"Really struggled this last week and a half since reaching my club 10 target. Gave myself a stern talking to this morning and back on track as of today. New interim goal set to focus on too." Brilliant to have a new goal. I got my club 10 same week you did and then put on 4lb. Felt really crap if im honest even though i knew why. Ive not given up and you shouldnt either You are doing amazingly well x | |||

Im just an average woman that doesnt need to be super fit. I know i can go on a 5 mile walk easy and thats about it lol. Its only cause ive done my ribs ive done nothing | |||

"I've hit 3 stone and 7lbs this week, wooohoooo! Never thought I'd be able to get it off in all honesty but I have...just another half stone to go and I'll be at the realistic goal I set myself! Started weights this week so I'm absolutely aching, stiff and using muscles in my shoulders and back that I don't think I've used in years!!! Aching but feeling very proud and ridiculously horny, off out to a club tonight to celebrate but my belly has decided it just wants to pop out today and say hello to everyone, not the best look in the world but at least when I suck it in now, it actually goes in rather than not moving at all when I was heavier! Well done to all the above and keep it up!!! It's a long, hard road and good and bad days will come but stick at it! I've had a shit week, food wise, had 2 puddings everyday cos of the monthly fairy but back on it on Monday! " That's fantastic, well done! | |||

"I keep meaning to do one of those "mud runs" and to this end (and because they were on offer and I liked them ), I bought myself some trail running trainers. I'm now doing more than one session of cardio a week! Smashed out a 2 mile cross country run after work today. " i hate mud! i lost my trainer 3 times i that evil stuff yesterday. They were white,, and now they are brown | |||

Sarah " I've got a step counter on my phone, I think it's great. Apparently the goal is to achieve 10 thousand steps a day. Monday - friday im averaging 25 thousand but on the weekends it differs obviously because I can't have it in my shorts whilst playing football I recommend getting the app though | |||
