Starting to...

Go jogging to help the weight loss come along for the hols and wedding, not really a big runner -
Any tips off any of you pro runners?

A good sports bra (high impact) and good trainers.

For bras I use M&S- you can get two for £16.
For trainers- well, its best to get measured properly in a running shop.

Set your self small targets and build up the amount you do.
Some people like music- I prefer daydreaming.

And have a good drink (water or squash) when you get back.

Thanks hun - just come back only done 15 mins around my block - walking but more slow jogging - got a right blower on now haha - could of gone further but didnt want to over do it. Got good trainers but think iam gonna have to get myself a good bra - My bazookas had a mind of their own haha x

Well done!

Thanks hun - iam determined to lose atleast a stone by Mid May! Iam sick of feeling fat!

That makes 2 of us!

Its getting me down Charl - iam sick of not being able to waer any of my clothes as there too tight - Lets fight the flab - for good!

Yep, am definately with you on that. Diet starts today, and I know it's going to be a long hard slog, but I need to shift 19lbs, and I need to do it quickly! So, so far today I have done 40 sit ups (that's all I can manage to begin with, but will do it twice a day), and have cycled 10 minutes on my excercise bike (will do that twice a day also). I have so far taken in about 230 calories, and I predict I will take in no more than another 630 throughout today. So less than 900 calories today. I am going to do it this time, and I don't care if it's hard. I refuse to be a fat bride!

Good for you babe - thats a really good effort so far!
You'll get there hun - I know itis so hard but if we are determined, it will be worth it! That jog killed me - but i want to look nice on hols, not cringing at pics!
What kinda foods are you eating hun x

Another tip for when you are running- try to avoid potholes and cracks in the pavement so you don't make a complete tit of yourself like I did this morning...

Are you okay?

Very good! I need new trainers, i got new ones for christmas but they are too big arrghhh! Trying to be very good today got a tuna and bean salad from m and s for lunch and I am going to make weight watchers canelloni for dinner tonight x

I'm fine- just small grazes and bruises. And damaged pride- luckily there wasn't many people about!

Its awful isnt it, I fall over all of the time! I dont even get embarressed anymore cause I am that used to it, the last time was just after christmas I fell on the ice, I span round about 5 times before I fell, everyone said I looked like i was doing a ballet dance!

Mostly tesco healthy living meals. Like tonight I will have one of their lasagnes, which has a whopping 392 calories in! My problem is I crave things. Bad things. Like today, it's cheese. And I know the craving wont go away until I've had some. That's where my Saturdays off come in. Coz on Saturday, I will have a little bit of everything I crave during the week (ie. chocolate, cheese, curry, couple of cans of lager). Alot of my calorie intake comes from what I drink, like milky cups of tea, coke, lager, so basically I'm allowing myself one milky cup of tea in the morning with skimmed milk, one cup of tea in the evening with hardly any milk, and water throughout the day. Can of diet cola if I eel like it (only 4 calories, yay!). It's very hard, like I say, already I'm getting cravings, but I will stick to it, because I have to this time. I only have 4 months left. x

God MrsP were you ok hun? Hope so - i think sometimes though no matter how much we hurt ourselves its the embaressment incase anyone seen us. It was really icy this morning - i thought i was going to go ass over t*t!
Ah Charlie - iam the same hun...my craving is chocolate
I can eat bars of it in one night - but then ifeel soo guilty after it.
God theres alot of cals in the lasagne - prehaps it would be healthier to make one, least you know what goes init the? Saying that with kids etc theres not always time is there.
I start the day off really well but as evening comes its my danger time, i eat eat eat! Having one treat day a week is a good idea thou - They do that with Slimmers world etc dont they xx

Dunno if they do that with slimmers world? I only know that I need to have a day off to look forward to, or the diet would fail anyway. If I can think "only 3 more days until Saturday, then I can eat what I want", it spurs me on the stick to it. Otherwise I would see no light at the end of the tunnel.

I didn't think the lasagne was too bad, was being sarcastic when I said whopping! lol. I don't think 400 calories is bad for an evening meal.

I am having a tough day today, day number 2. I am really having to stop myself from eating something naughty. But I am being strong, it's just sooo hard. Worse today than yesterday, but probably not as bad as tomorrow. If I can just stick it out for a few weeks, my body will adjust and it won't be so hard anymore. It's just these first few weeks are going to be almost painful for me.

Im so unfit! I can't even run half a mile yet before I feel like someone is stabbing me in the chest

Going again tonight and going to do half a mile!! lol

Keep at it. When I started back in Jan, I could barely do a mile and a half- and that included walking.

Now, only weeks later- I can do over six miles.

Ive stopped it now - and cant seem to get back into it...the motivation has gone AGAIN
