You said you like football and team games... is there not a local ladies football team you could maybe join? x

Not that I have time to attend I have two part time jobs and a full time degree course so always end up working in some form when training is on :( xx

have you tried slimming world?
kayas idea of find a sport you enjoy is good. personally I would go for a class like body pump or zumba I love both these.

Only last week I was saying the same thing as you, had no motivation and felt like I'd never loose weight and I'd always be over weight and would look gross in my wedding dress and would never be able to conceive but literally a week on I feel totally different and alot of the motivation has come from the girls on here.

Loosing weight has to be a complete life style change.. you can't eat lots of crap and sit on ya bum and expect to be skinny in a few months time. Eat healthy but still treat yourself now and again so your not depriving yourself of the "yummys". I've started having porridge for breakfast, even the oats so simple with golden syrup is less than 200 calories for a bowl and it keeps you fuller for alot longer than a slice of toast, gives you so much energy. I have either fruit or a rice cake as a snack or a low fat ski chocolate mouse, they are lush! Healthy lunch like a chicken salad or a sandwich using brown bread and healthy dinner, plenty of veg and your not stupid, you now what is healthy and what isn't! So you can make up your own meals, you don't have to have something boring.

As for exercise just give yourself a kick up the bum.. I used to sit on mine 24 hours a day, literally do nothing but now I go swimming, I have brought davinas body buff dvd and I use my stairs to run up and down continuously for 15 minutes and my exercise bike is on order. You don't have to have lots of time to exercise, walk to work or the shops instead of the car or bus, there are lots of ways to do it.

You can do this, just as much as I can.

And I will keep kicking ya butt to help you :-P

Come on hun, smile and do it :-)

Stick it on facebook! Or even on gum tree.. You'll find someone local in the same boat as you or make a poster and stick it in your local gym? I'm sure you will find someone hun :-) good luck xx

Walking to work last week a random man just rudely said to me "stay away from Greggs love" I still cannot believe he could be so damn rude. Some people are just horrible. It put me in a real slump, but after a few days realised, you just have to kick yourself up the backside. I also work on my feet all day, and often long hours. When faced with the decision gym or sofa, I promise no one really wants to go exercise, but you just have to push yourself. Xx

That is good that he is helping you to feel better. Maybe you could get him exercising with you but so he doesn't know it like playing boxing on the wii etc or going out for a fun day which envolves walking around differenct places.

I'm sure you will get there in the end. x x

Rosey that is awful and that guy needs a good slap.

I plan everything I eat. You sound as busy as I am. Try and squeeze in half an hour an evening to sort out ur food for when ur running round. That way you can chop ur carrots (hmmm) etc so u have them at hand.
I go to dance classes twice a week and thats about it.
I stick to my diet rigidly- really strict!!!! But on a Wednesday night I have whatever I want. If i've fancied burger and chips all week I wait until Wednesday night and if I still want it I have it then AND a proper chocolate bar :0) BUT on Thurs morning its straight back on it.
I hope u find ur motivation hun and I don't sound like i'm sad control freak!
It's chuffing hard work! xxxxx

Hi ladies
I have just got hold of a book which has a method for calculculating your individual calorie allowance and only asks for a 400-500 calorie burn per day :) It should be more successful than where I'm at right now. I'm just heading off to pick up my bike now so I can start cycling to uni again! :) Feeling loads better today really positive about this!

I broke my diet after a week gutted i have started it again today i do zumba on the xbox with kinect sensor its good as u can do it whenu have a spare 30 mins nd nobody has to watch u doing which is the bit i like :) i am really tempted 2 try the spiecal k thing has any one done it? I hate running but perfered speed walking nd is some how ment 2 be better for u. griff for ur skin i get really bad skin due to phorisais nd wearing make everyday :s i use pear soap i swear by it nd is good for any time off skin also if u can get ur hands on a cucumber face mask its good at hydrationing ur skin xx

Also drink water like it's going out of fashion. The liver cannot process fat properly if it's dehydrated, and it's also good for flushing out toxins, and keeps you feeling fuller. Now when I'm hungry, I have a glass of water first, just to check I am really hungry and not just thirsty. This also stops me drinking so many cups of tea. I'm down to 2-3 cups of tea a day now since I starting drinking lots of water (I used to drink probably 10 or more beforehand).

ive herd even if you have a not so health diet if you just reduce your potions and use a 10 inch plate you can lose up to 10% of your body weight a year !?

I got my bike fixed so there's no food for me this week lol will have to mish mash stuff from the freezer! :)
