Hi I'm new to MFP - it's great! I am loving the positivity about all this. I have been eating ok and exercising since New Year and was recommended this by member Thricewiser who's been going great guns.

I wanted to track and be able to review progress so it's perfect. My worry isn't so much losing the weight but more how will i act when it comes back off and stopping the famine/feasting cycles... Any advice on how to celebrate that doesn't involve indulging or wearing a new dress (as a guy prob not the best option for me ;-)).

Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Kenny

    Hi, welcome to MFP.

    It's good to see another Scot on here, I'm in Edinburgh, and mostly I see posters in USA.

    How about treating yourself to spomething like a trip to cinema (with no nachos or popsorn obviously) or something really active like a day at Knockhill or paintballing etc. If you know someone else locally , Thricewiser, then maybe you could do these activities together.
    Good luck on your journey. x

    Hi Suzanne!

    Thanks for the welcome! I like the idea of something like paintballing! I think I might celebrate (when I get there hopefully!!) by getting rid of all my 'comfort' clothes so there's no going back.

    Keep the sunny side up - and congrats on dropping over a stone already! Well done!

    When I achieve the little weekly goals I've set for myself, I buy a couple new songs from iTunes to add to my playlist to keep things fresh on runs. When I meet bigger goals, I reward myself with new workout gear or tech gadgets - I've found these non-food treats to be a great source of motivation.

    Cheers from Munich!

    I am trying to think unisex here. Some fun whatever your gender. How about a massage, there are many different types available here in the states, however I'm not sure about the availability where you are. Good luck honey!!!
