    Thank you to all for your comments. I'm very embarrassed about how I looked back then, but I think it's important for anyone using MFP to see that it DOES work if you can put the effort into a healthier lifestyle.

    It's not magic, and there are no secrets....

    Yes I did run the 10K and did it in 1:10:07 which was 20 mins off of my personal best. I've now signed up for three marathons for 2013 <eep!>

    Well done that man! ........ I'm seriously impressed and inspired by your achievement.

    May I ask how many calories you had as a target each day?

    Hi nas061 - I initially set my goal to lose 2lbs per week, and my calorie intake was 1250 per day... I generally had a cup of coffee with skimmed milk, and one egg (either poached or as an omelette) for breakfast, then I would have aroun 400-450 calories for lunch and 500-600 for dinner.

    I use a lot of recipes from www.bbcgoodfood.com and I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS plan my whole week of meals in advance so that I shop accordingly and can work out what I want to eat each day.

    Really well done!! I do think you are at a very lower weight and can afford to put some pounds back on if you wanted to.
    That's just from your pic above.
