Hay everyone, so sorry I haven't been able to write much I have been mega busy at work and then after work exercising. It has totally paid off I am 156 today and feeling good. Aiming for 154 next week. Although I may have over done it, went from running 3 miles to consistantly running 4 in record time and now my back is really playing up, its really painful. Not great. In better news I have totally stuck to my no eating biscuits!

That sounds great veg. Just one question - are raisins ok? cos I am eating them and other fruit to stop me from eating sweet things? |

Hay guys, I'm back. I know I have been away for your last challenge (believe me sitting that one out has made me put the weight I lost back on!) but I am back now!! I think I have put on muscle though which isn't too bad. Beed running and cross training lots. I know you haven't finished your 4th July challenge yet - Go you guys!! Only a few days left!! but I'm up for the next challenge - what are we aiming for next time? 1st August? |

Hay guys back up to 157 today but totm tomorrow so I'll shrug that one off. Had a good day yesterday - no refined sugar at all (thats huge for me). Did eat a bit too much bread though. Doedoe - well done!! Your the first one I think to make your goal!!!!! Ama - Dont worry about the momentary relapse. It happens to us all, just keep up the great work your doing with your work outs, hows the hot guy? |

Hay - weigh in 158 (down 1lb since last week) but up loads from a couple of weeks ago. Managed another 3miler last night in 27mins 35 so definitely gettin fitter. Really bumbed about the weight as I have been eating ok the last few days but I seriously think it could be muscle (plus a bit of water weight - TOTM next week). I measured myself and I am the same measurements as before when I was 153. Very odd! Great job doedoe. |

Wow I am so in. I lost 7lb down to 152.4 (goal weight of 147-150 from SW 159). I was doing so good and then I went on a two week chocolate, cookie, cake binge and am now back to 159 (that was yesterday - today 157.8!!) Really need to lose these last few pounds before my wedding!!! |

Hay guys thanks for the encouragement! I am totally back on track now (although I got on the scales and I am 159! What! 4 weeks ago I was 152.4 this is crazy!) I know muscle weighs heavier than fat but still its a bit depressing really. Nevermind. I had a good day yesterday total of 1520 cals and no binges!!! Feel good about things today going to try for 157 this week so I can get back to where I was. Something I noticed since losing weight is that I dont get up in the morning, look at a piece of clothing and thing... I can't wear that today, my tummy is sticking out. I just grap whatever is around. - Bit of a weird one really but true! Ama dont worry about the weakness moment. It happens and is probably a good idea to spike your cals every now and again. Doedoe - how did you get those abs????? |

Hay, so sorry I have been awol for a while. Business trips last week merged into a busy weekend. I am really struggling at the moment but I am going to turn over a new leaf today! Last weekend I had a few comments that I had lost weight from people but I haven't I am acutally back up to where I started. But I do feel more toned. I think I may have put on muscle?? Depressed by the weigh gain though and determined to rectify the situation!! Congrats ama thats so amazing!!! Doedoe - your abs are amazing - do you do any specific exercises for them? |

Hay everyone, Had quite a good weekend although did drink far too much on Sat night and therefore was hungover on Sunday. Okie - I am also sorry as yesterday I had 2 biscuits (only two though). I am continueing on with the no biscuit thing. I have decided everyone that I am going to be serious this week, only 12 weeks till the wedding and I really want to drop these pounds so I am going to be disciplined like you ama. I will be out a lot this week and away from home on business so I wont be in touch very much but fingers crossed for the weigh in on Fri - Would love to be 153....... |

Hay there again, Sept I a really need to work on my mental attitude towards food aswell. I am really struggling and I know I have a bad attitude towards eating and foods and especially binges at the moment. I not exactly sure how to change that though? I need to be stronger and more determined otherwise I will never get anywhere. I would agree with sept about proccessed foods though, I always try and have fresh cooked foods from scratched, I like knowing what is in my foods. Although you can't beat them for conveniance. Bit worried about the weekend as I am going out with the girls on Sat night which will involve quite a bit of alcohol and then the day after I always have serious carb and salt cravings... be stong! |

Wow ama you are so healthy, how do you stop yourself from snacking more? That is my main problem I think. I feel the need to eat all of the time! Weigh in today156. 1lb down on last week but not the loss I was hoping for. Nevermind. It may be because I had a really salty meal last night - My mum made this japanese, noodle soup thing, very salty but really yummy. I will put it down to water retention I think. I have been around 155 this week so I will aim for 154 next week. I did my run last night and didn't binge, plus I haven't had any biscuits still!! Can't believe it! |

Hay Dove I get really bad IBS as well. The best thing for me is to stick to low fat protein with lots of vegetables and fruit for a while a long with drinking tonnes of water (I really mean a lot). You need to work out what is triggering you, definitely write a food and symptom diary like gi jane said and then avoid the foods that do this to you. |

Well done amayou you are doing brilliantly! What do you eat on a day to day basis that keeps you so low on the calories front - can you give an example of a typical day for you? I totally managed to refrain from binging yesterday, did go slightly over my calorie limit but I am really happy that I stopped when I did! Didn't go for a run but will do tonight. I had to get up at 5 this morning so was totally out of routine (which I hate) and had my breakfast way too early which means that I have had 2 bounty bars which I am not proud of. Although at least I can make up for it throughout the day by doing more exercise and sticking to my calorie limit. Weigh in day tomorrow - ahh! Not sure how I will do as I have had a bad week but heres hoping! |
