    1) what is your name?

    Hello I'm Sarah :)

    2) why did you choose your username?

    Simple :) I am a nurse, I consider myself fat & I am hoping to get slim! Plus I thought it was a clever play on fat boy slim ! Stupid I know.

    3) what is your zodiac sign / when is your birthday?

    May 22.... I am a Gemini and usually quite a typical one!

    4) what is your favourite animal and why?

    I must admit, I'm not an animal lover...but my favourite is sea horses, I just think they're cute!

    5) what is your favourite colour?

    Purple :)

    6) post a picture of a piece of clothing you hope to wear when you reach your ultimate goal show me your style you sexy beasts!

    I'm a technophobe... ( unless it's a piece of medical equipment I'm clueless) so I don't know how to do this!, but it's not very original anyway - I want to wear a bikini on holiday without only wearing it while lying down, and keeping a top beside that I put on before I sit up!!!!!

    7) who inspires you on this journey of health eating, exercise and netting your goals?

    Ruth jones - who stars in Gavin and Stacey. I always used to look at her and think well she's big but she's talented funny and pretty ....then she lost weight last year and I thought wow! Time to get myself back in gear
    And also my fiancé. I'm a girl I'm insecure I can't help it, I hope I'll feel less unworthy of him if I'm slim ( even though he tells me I'm gorgeous enough now !)


    8) what are some tips you'd give to someone who is new to the fitness game, what helped you on your journey that someone may have told you or your learnt in passing?

    The best thing I can say I have learnt through experience and from the slimming world team, is to take it steady. Don't be disappointed or make yourself feel guilty if you have a week where you don't lose, gain or lose less than you had hoped.

    And also taking measurements. Iv found I'll exercise lots and then be gutted when Iv only lost 1lb but notice inches off my thighs or waist which kept me going!


    9) what is your favourite exercise? You know the one thing you do that doesn't feel like exercise you like it so much

    Zumba! I do it from home as I'm so unfit at the moment I do it on the Xbox...but it's great it just makes me laugh while I do it and I fell energised afterwards!

    10) what is your favourite type of music to listen to while you work out/ hangout what not?

    I love indie and punk/rock music...... My favourite bands are the likes of foo fighters, kings of Leon, brand new, jimmy eat world, snow patrol, blink 182 etc. I love going to concerts/ gigs and I like going to indie nights / rock nights at my local nightclubs.

    but when I exercise I like anything with a good beat so maybe songs in the charts or a bit of r and b - I like the music that you know is made to wiggle to as it inspires me to work harder so I might get a hot body I can wiggle!,!!

    8. Learn what foods are good for you and which are not. Also learn that eating is a must. Do not limit yourself only eating a few meals a day. Figure out what your cals, carbs, fat and protein should be and aim for that. But like I said, with foods that are good for you.
    9. Squats, Bench Prees, DB Flyes.
    10. I'll listen to anything but my favorite is Hollywood Undead for some reason haha. It just gets me pumped!

    [1] What is your name? :

    My name is Amanda & I am unique just like all the rest of you!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [2] Why did you choose your username? :

    It came about years ago when I was very good friends with this goth rocker guy named TJ. I had a different online nickname and he said it never really fit me. Gave me this one and it's been around ever since. I've recently started signing up for new places with a diff nickname that I may change here as well. Amoruccio1979 {Means darling in Italian and my birth year} Opinions welcome via PM.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [3] What is your zodiac sign/When is your birthday? :

    June 26th - Cancer

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [4] What is your favorite animal & why? :

    I think my favorite animal would be the little woodland critters. I love wild songbirds and raccoon and wild rabbits and deer. That sort of thing.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [5] What is your favorite color? :

    P-I-N-K !!!!!!!!!!!! I'm such a girly girl when it comes to pink. Love to wear it... and I think it makes my skin look a bit more tan since I'm tragically pale.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [6] Post a picture of a piece of clothing you hope to wear when
    you reach your ultimate goal, show me your style, you sexy beasts!

    I don't know when I'll ever be in the position to wear one of these... but a girl can hope, right???

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [7] Who inspires you on this journey of healthy
    eating, exercise & meeting your goals? :

    My MFP family gives me a ton of inspiration since I have zero support from my family. My kids do their best to be supportive, but they're young and healthy and cry when I lie to them about the ice cream truck LOL

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [8] What are some tips you'd give to someone who was new to
    this whole fitness game? What helped you on your journey that
    someone may have told you, or that you have learned in passing? :

    Do it. Don't 'want' to do it, don't 'try' to do it, don't 'think about' doing it. Do or do not.... You workout when you don't feel like it or when you aren't in the mood. You eat healthily when there is temptation because it's the right thing to do for your body. You listen to what your body really needs and not what your mind says it wants. There is a big difference and you have to pay attention to yourself above all else. Be selfish in this instance, you'll probably live longer.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [9] What is your favorite exercise? You know, the one thing you
    do that doesn't even seem like exercise you like it so much? :

    I love love love my bootcamp class. It's an hour of ever changing p90x style full body workouts. They have an exercise named after me 'The Amanda' that is a jumping jack with a dumbbell. When your legs jump out, your arms go up with the weight or weights to an overhead press, legs in & weight back to chest. Do as many as you can in 1 minute. It feels loverly!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [10] What is your favorite type of music/band to
    listen to while you workout/hang out and what not? :

    When I'm working out, I usually listen to the music from Zumba class. Our instructors pic some awesome stuff. Other than that, whatever I can find on the radio. For me, it's more about the lyrics than the music.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    My daugthers are my inspirations. They work along with me and keep me honest. Also I am walking my older daugther down the aisle at her wedding and I want to look good on that day.

    [8] What are some tips you'd give to someone who was new to
    this whole fitness game? What helped you on your journey that
    someone may have told you, or that you have learned in passing? :

    I would say drink lots of water and
    begin each day anew. Don't get down on yourself if things don't go perfectly all the time. Tomorrow is another day and just put one foot in front of the other.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [9] What is your favorite exercise? You know, the one thing you
    do that doesn't even seem like exercise you like it so much? :

    [10] What is your favorite type of music/band to
    listen to while you workout/hang out and what not? :

    I am into heavy metal. I listen to Rammstein mostly but also like Korn, Combichrist, Marilyn Manson, Avengened Sevenfold, Distrubed and Twiztid. Those bands really keep you moving. Although it is difficult to headbang on a treadmill.

    [1] What is your name? :

    Brittany, if it wasn't obvious :)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [2] Why did you choose your username? :
    Well, I did have a different one (my initials followed by my last name), but I got tired of people calling me "BJ". So, I changed it to my actual name so all my friends would know what to call me.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [3] What is your zodiac sign/When is your birthday? :

    I am a Leo, and my birthday is July 29. This year I will be 20 :)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [4] What is your favorite animal & why? :

    I don't know why, but I've always LOVED horses, even though I've never owned one. They are so beautiful and majestic. The horses I've met have been some of the sweetest creatures and had tons of personality.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [5] What is your favorite color? :

    Yellow. It's very happy and matches my sunny disposition :)

    I really like the girly/bohemian style :)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [7] Who inspires you on this journey of healthy eating, exercise & meeting your goals? :

    First and foremost, my fiance Nick, known on here as n003k. He is an amazing person, an incredible friend, my number one fan, and my toughest critic. Other than him, all of my friends. I seriously have the best fitness pals a girl could ask for, they are all so supportive and amazing.

    [8] What are some tips you'd give to someone who was new to
    this whole fitness game? What helped you on your journey that
    someone may have told you, or that you have learned in passing? :

    The biggest piece of advice I could give is that if you aren't losing weight for you first, it won't work. You have to put yourself first in this game. YOUR health, YOUR fitness, YOUR life. If you can't put you first, you might as well give up.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [9] What is your favorite exercise? You know, the one thing you
    do that doesn't even seem like exercise you like it so much? :

    Dancing! I work up a whole lot of sweat playing my Just Dance game. By the end of the 30 minutes, I'm pouring sweat, I'm out of breath, and my legs are sore, but it feels so good. I love to dance :)

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [10] What is your favorite type of music/band to
    listen to while you workout/hang out and what not? :

    I like to listen to anything that has a good rhythm to it. Anything I can find the beat to and use that with. :)

    Great thread :)

    1. What is your name?

    Andie

    2. Why did you choose your username?

    I’ve had ‘psiren’ for years now, I got it from an episode of ‘Red Dwarf’ and it’s kinda stuck. Someone already had it on here so I added a number :/

    3. What is your zodiac sign/When is your birthday?

    Scorpio, late October

    4. What is your favorite animal & why?

    I like most animals, if it’s cute and fluffy, I love it. I also love geckos, I sometimes have them living on my outside wall, they’re adorable wee things. If I have pets, it’s usually cats… nice and low maintenance :)

    5. What is your favorite color?

    Green

    6. Post a picture of a piece of clothing you hope to wear when
    you reach your ultimate goal, show me your style, you sexy beasts!

    I haven’t figured out posting pics but I have a little camouflage mini skirt that I can’t quite get into yet. I guess my style is sort of rock. I don’t do shoes! In summer I wear wedge sandals and in winter, biker or cowboy boots. I wouldn’t have a clue what sort of shoes go with what clothes :/

    7. Who inspires you on this journey of healthy
    eating, exercise & meeting your goals?

    Honestly? No one. I’m on this alone, hence joining MPF. I don’t know anyone in real life in the same situation. I know plenty of people who start but give up after a few days. I joined a slimming group once and was the only one losing. I kept winning ‘slimmer of the week’ until it became embarrassing :/ It’s nice to see people on here who have lost a lot of weight and stuck to it. Who knows, maybe I’ll find some ‘real life’ people to inspire me. Right now, I’m the one doing the inspiring, a couple of friends say I’m their inspiration which is really nice to hear and I hope they see that if I can do it, they can to.


    8. What are some tips you'd give to someone who was new to
    this whole fitness game? What helped you on your journey that
    someone may have told you, or that you have learned in passing?

    Be honest with yourself about what you’re eating, log everything: the good, the bad and the ugly.
    Don’t give up after a bad day, everyone has them, just get straight back on it and don’t let it turn into a bad week / month / lifetime.
    Be realistic about your goals, we’re not all gonna be supermodels but we can be the best version of ourselves and our body type.
    Set yourself mini goals rather than focusing on the end result, especially if you have a long way to go.


    9. What is your favorite exercise? You know, the one thing you
    do that doesn't even seem like exercise you like it so much?

    Zumba!!! I hate exercise, always hated aerobics classes etc. but I love Zumba! My instructor is fantastic. I also walk which is tolerable if I have a walking buddy or some decent tunes.

    10. What is your favorite type of music/band to
    listen to while you workout/hang out and what not?

    Mainly alternative rock. I love the salsa type stuff in my Zumba class but at home and just hanging out I’m a rock chick.

    [1] What is your name? :

    Sandy


    [2] Why did you choose your username? :

    It's just a variation of my name.


    [3] What is your zodiac sign/When is your birthday? :

    Capricorn - January 9th.


    [4] What is your favorite animal & why? :

    Kitty cats. They're awesome sleeping buddies.

    [5] What is your favorite color? :

    Red.

    [6] Post a picture of a piece of clothing you hope to wear when

    I have a corset I used to wear without a problem. Since I gained the weight, it's tighter than it used to be (despite the fact that it's a lace-up on the front and back). I had a 24 inch waist. I need that back.

    [7] Who inspires you on this journey of healthy
    eating, exercise & meeting your goals? :

    Myself. I've tried it before, but always let myself down because I would get lazy with it. Not anymore; I'm tired of going back on this promise.

    [8] What are some tips you'd give to someone who was new to
    this whole fitness game? What helped you on your journey that
    someone may have told you, or that you have learned in passing? :

    Don't rush into it. I tried that before and went in too strong and it overwhelmed me. One step at a time. Be it a small workout routine once a day (I started with only jumping jacks), then add more routines that you'll enjoy and then try and add the diet goal in there. Too much change isn't good for those who can't handle it or don't want it.


    [9] What is your favorite exercise? You know, the one thing you
    do that doesn't even seem like exercise you like it so much? :

    Squats and nearly any strength exercise. They're all really fun to me.

    [10] What is your favorite type of music/band to
    listen to while you workout/hang out and what not? :

    I don't listen to music when I workout, so I don't have a favorite.

    Cris

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [2] Why did you choose your username? :

    I just used my name, that way I could remember what it was. I have so many usernames and passwords, it just makes it easier.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [3] What is your zodiac sign/When is your birthday? :

    I am a Leo through and through. ;) My bday is 7/25. (Thus the numbers in my username).

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [4] What is your favorite animal & why? :

    Lions and turtles. I love lions for their beauty, loyaltly, and pride. And on the flip side of that, I love turtles because of their simplicity and sheer determination. Have you ever seen one get flipped on its back? It can always get turned back over by itself.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [5] What is your favorite color? :

    Green, then yellow, then orange. :)

    I dont think I'll post a pic, but my goal is to be able to put on shorts and a sports bra and do some kick boxing and look hot doing it. LOL

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [7] Who inspires you on this journey of healthy
    eating, exercise & meeting your goals? :

    I'm not really sure, to be honest. I watch the Shaytards on YouTube and Shay recently lost 100 pounds. Its been cool watching him during his entire journey. And he always tries to motivate other people. He is even about 50 days from his first marathon ever.

    [8] What are some tips you'd give to someone who was new to
    this whole fitness game? What helped you on your journey that
    someone may have told you, or that you have learned in passing? :

    I think the best tip I could offer is to do BABY STEPS at first. Seriously. I have now lasted 30 days where as in the past, I would only last about a week. I started with cutting out soda and replacing it with water. A lot of it. Within days, I was feeling better physically and mentally and I think that is honestly what kept me going. Now its getting easier everyday. Except this morning. I'm lacking in the motivation department and did a wimpy workout. :(

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [9] What is your favorite exercise? You know, the one thing you
    do that doesn't even seem like exercise you like it so much? :

    I hate exercise! But I guess if I had to choose the lesser of all evils, I would choose walking. You dont burn as many calories, but at least its something.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    [10] What is your favorite type of music/band to
    listen to while you workout/hang out and what not? :

    It really depends on my mood, but I typically listen to Paramore, Framing Hanley, All That Remains, and even sometimes Eminem can get me going. LOL
