    live in Sunny Devon

    My hubby is from Devon (Kingsbridge) and I always hear about how the weather is so much better than London but every time we go to visit his parents, it pours with rain!!! hahaha I do genuinely believe that it is sunnier though :)

    I bloody love Kingsbridge! I live in Paignton, but work in Brixham which isn't too far from Kingsbridge!

    TBH the weather isn't much worse than anywhere else, but it feels worse because we have palm trees.. therefore logic says it should be like the bahamas, should it not!

    Good to know 30DS isn't all jumping around so if I do get it I wont be annoying the neighbours downstairs too much!

    I shan't warn anyone ;) I'll just try and be as heavy footed as possible

    "What's that mum? You can't hear the eastenders theme tune over me jumping? huh? I CANT HEAR YOU"

    that is so gonna happen...

    except i am of course going to lose oodles of weight and will therefore be prancing about like a gazelle and not an elephant :P

    Yay! So exciting! What is it like?

    Now I couldn't possibly tell you that! Even my mum isn't going to see it until nearer the time

    Hi, I'm Vanessa, I'm in please! 40 years old, two grown up kids and a part-time 7 year old (partner's little girl). Part-time partner too lol as other half is in the Navy and often working away. Work full time, been on here since July and just around half way through now with the weight loss. My main aim is to have a healthy BMI but size 12 and fit wouldn't be bad either!

    Feeling really defeated :(

    A few months back I went for a hospital appointment, and they weighed me, and I was pretty sure they said I was 185llbs.
    About a month later I joined MFP and just entered that weight, stupid I know, I should have weighed myself again!
    Been here for about 3 weeks now and weighed myself today, and apparently I am 190llbs :(

    I find it impossible to believe that I have put on 5llbs, because I have been eating extremely well.

    So either I heard wrong at the hospital, and they didn't say 185, they might have said 195.
    Or, between the time from the hospital and when I joined here, I put on weight, but I am not too sure how much :/
    The scales I have been using have been different every time.
    Or the last option, and the worst, maybe I have put on 5llbs :(

    dont feel to bad - just re enter that as your starting weight and go from there! as long as you have been eating healthy and you're feeling better in yourself then thats what it is all about. chin up!! :D

    Ugh Evelyn, that is rubbish. Don't let it get you down though, especially since you don't know if your starting weight was just wrong. Hope you had a good first day at uni :)

    It's great to see the revival of Team UK - I really missed it and the thread went really quiet - but wow, 9 pages in about 36 hours is pretty good going!!

    I'm Fran, 31 and live in Manchester on my own, but have a busy job and have plenty of activities which keep me out of mischief

    Look forward to getting to know more people from UK on here through this thread :-)
