Hi ladies, lost 3 stone last year and felt fab!! But sadly put 1 back Hmm just can't seem to get going and motivated. Keep having a big push for few weeks, losing 5-7 lb then slacking off. Any advise? Motivating stories? X

We could always start a weekly weigh in on here ! See if we can shame ourselves into action !!

I have tried MyFitnessPal app - it's free and counts the cals for you ! You can add people as friends too - so you can all keep an eye on each others progress that way too !

I need to loose 20lbs ! Been trying for far too long with no success !!!

I just Lurvvve the cake !!! Tee hee !!!

I'm in. 5 ft 6 and 150 pounds. I'm doing the c25k plan, one week to go to the end. haven't lost a single pound doing it, but I know if I lost 10 or 15 pounds I'd find the running easier especially up hills

I've been trying so long to lose this stone, put it on last year and it won't go away!

Thanks rusmum . My fitness has improved massively and that is contributing to the weight loss. I have lost 12lbs in just over 3 weeks.

I have been slowly increasing my running. Yesterday I ran for 30 mins non stop on an incline on a treadmill. So well chuffed with myself

Purple that's fantastic! I lost 2 1/2 stone during c25k although it did take me about 17 weeks.
