Hi I'm Donna *waving* !!

I'm 30, married, with a 3 year old daughter and live in Tyne and Wear (north east England)

I've just restarted my mfp journey in the last few days after 6 months off. During that time I managed to put the weight back that I'd lost AND THEN SOME!!! My starting weight this time round was half a stone more than the last time. Sob :((

This time I'm more motivated. I've got my first foreign holiday for the first time in 5 years coming up this summer and I'd like to shift some weight before then (we're going with my in-laws and my MIL is a right skinny minnie. Next to her I'm gonna look like a beached whale in my bathing costume!)

I've also started attending my works gym. I don't go much (3 times a week for an hour) but its more than I've done in years.

I want to talk to other people from the UK who like me, tend to need a helping hand and some moral support when they start to struggle and I LUUUUUUUUURVVVVVVVVVVEEEE my food so its always a battle with me.

I've been doing the slimfast diet (loosely) and I think thats helped. I was worried I'd feel hungry but that hasn't been a problem so far.

If you'd like to add my as a friend that'd be great!!!

Donna.xx

    Hi!
    I'm from Burnley in Lancashire.
    This is my second time here as well. I lost just under a stone on here last year and then stopped due to a problem with my back. I've managed to keep it off and maintain, however like you, I'm now back with a vengeance and ready to get that weight off.
    Friend request has been sent and I wish you all the best for your MFP journey xx

    I'm from UK, South East. I'm 24 and have a 6 year old daughter. I'm getting married in July, and put 3lbs on over Xmas - so i'm so desperate this time around!! My problem is also my love of food, but i'm starting to find ways for alternatives to the fattier favourites..... I have around 30lbs to shift by July, thats around 1-1 1/2 lbs a week....fingers crossed!!

    Good luck guys, and feel free to add me :-) xx

    From a very cold Chelmsford. I started the old diet this week and actually put ON a pound. Mind you, that might have been because I've been out 4 times. I thought it was supposed to cool down after Christmas. I WILL lose next week - I will, I will, I will. Just done my measurements and my thigh is bigger than Victoria Beckham's waist. Surely that's not normal? But don't know which - her waist, or my thigh????

    Big hugs

    Sarah

    Karen from South Wales.

    43 yr old mum of 3 (18yr old son, and 7yr old twins)
    Used to be fit, ran a few times a week, played badminton, went to gym and classes, and can honestly say I've not done any eercise for a few years so now I need to find the fit person hiding under the blubber.

    I have been doing this for one week - I'm 5ft and 13st 1lb, so need to get rid of a lot, but will take it a week at a time - it's a marathon, not a sprint. :)
