Another 1lb down !! Maybe I will get into double figures next week.....
Got a busy week end tho, so will have to exercise like a crazy thing to burn off all the food and drink!
London today with friends and 1 daughter to see Billy Elliott and mooch around town (read eating amd drinking!) Then out for drinks tonight , then some friends coming for dinner tomorrow. I have planned the menu and no it's not "good!!"
Mon is so far a quiet day, but that may change!
Have a good week end all

Carrie, we can hit double figures together next week, woo for us
at work again.. and hungry again I think this place just depresses me into gorge mode! But I shall stick with my water and battle my stomach and hopefully get through the night without trying to eat the pillow.
Got to start somewhere I guess!

Hey all,
Having fallen off the wagon due to stuff happening in work and also my Aunt passing away on Friday , I've now hopefully picked myself back up and starting again, more determined to lose weight. Funeral is next Tuesday, my mum and dad said I didn't need to go as she knows I don't like them, but I want to pay respects to family so I'm going, and also to support my nan.
I'm off work today so going to go the gym. It's weird, I was still the same weight yesterday evening as I was on Friday morning, and the Friday before that. My metabolism must be starting to get a bit faster. I now need to update my food diary for the past 4 odd days that I've missed.
Hope everybody is doing okay, and sticking to it. I should be on a bit more now as I'm going to try and add 50% effort to my gym sessions, and that should see me push below 245lbs for the first time.
Take care everybody, and thanks for the show of support over the last few days, it means a lot to me.
Lee ( for the ladies, for the gents!)
23/01/10 - 268lbs (1.5 lost), 29/01/10 - 258lbs (10 lost), 05/02/10 - 255 (3 lost), 12/02/10 - 254 (1 lost), 19/02/10 - 251 (3 lost), 26/02/10 - 250 (1 lost), 05/03/10 - 249 (1 lost), 12/03/10 - 246 (3 lost), 19/03/10 - 246 (0 lost), 26/03/10 - 246 (0 lost), 02/04/10 - 245 (1 lost), 10/04/10 - 243 (2 lost), 17/04/10 - ???0 -
I posted in April but seems May has just been created so:
Hello!
I am VERY excited to see some people living in the UK on here!
I thought I would introduce myself. I'm Australian but moved to London recently (I say recently but it's been 6 months already... time flies!) to live with my fiance who is British. I was an overweight child and gradually gained weight until I was 17 when I lost 45kg (doing all the wrong things). Now I'm a dietitian and while I kept the weight off during my degree, it has crept back on rapidly since I started working and I am hoping to lose some before my wedding next March and keep it off, for health.
My fiance and I just joined this Saturday via the iPhone app then discovered the website. I quite like it. Some of the forums drive me a bit nuts (sometimes being a dietitian is the worst!) but there also seems to be quite a nice environment of people supporting each other. We all know that knowing what we should do is different to doing it.
Best wishes to everybody!

hello i'm from london too! I've been using myfitnesspal for a week and lost 4lb ...0

Hi everyone and let's hope May is a good month for us all.
Just over three weeks to go before the holiday so I really have to step it up this month. I doubt I will get to my target before I go away but if I can get rid of 6-8 pounds in the next 3 weeks then I will be very happy.

Good luck team UK - May is going to be a good month...

Hi, I'm from South Wales. I've been using the site for a couple of months and find it excellent for logging the daily calories and exercise. It keeps me on track. I'm more or less at my goal weight so just use this to maintain. Having said that I've just come back form an All Inclusive holiday so am hoping to shift the excess over the next few weeks! Leanne x0

Hi,
Yey - I am in South Manchester - have been using this site for 3 weeks to track my food and exercise and have lost 9lbs, another 5 to go before June 1st!! I am turning in to an exercise junkie - love it!! Lets hope we get some sunshine so we can go & play outside too!
Beth x0 -
Hi everybody!!
Welcome to all the newbies!!
I have had a very naughty weekend.... lots of drinking and eating!! Had KFC yesterday.... hmmmm was gorgeous, but very bad, then a bit of a crisp and chocolate party!!! Ah well, back to logging today!!
The Manchester 10k is less than 2 weeks away so got to train for that, plus on Saturday doing a 6.5 hour up hill walk for charity, so that should help cancel out a weekend of naughtyness!!
Didnt loose much in April which was disapointing, think about 2 lbs so gonna really try hard now, would like to get below 10.7 in may, would only need to loose about 3 lbs, so fingers crossed.
Good luck everybody.

How was Billy Elliot? I am going on the 22nd.

Hey everyone,
Welcome to all newbies - nice to see you here.
Lee, I am sorry to hear about your Aunt. Things like this are never easy. Thinking of you. Good luck with getting back to the gym etc. I know you can do it!
I had a very excessive weekend...:blushing: It was of course my usual problem of the booze! Wine is just soooooo nice! I did manage to get out for a run on Friday morning, but had to go on my own as my brother was dead to the world, and I couldn't bear to wake him up. He's a fireman and a bouncer and doesn't always get much sleep! Friday afternoon was the wedding, which was lovely but not great for the waistline. I'm hoping that the dancing cancelled out some of the damage.
Saturday we did a bit of sightseeing in the morning, but the weather was really bad so we ended up in a bar...way too much wine for the good of the diet!
Sunday we had a massive roast dinner.
Monday I went to the gym and stayed in my calories, but when I stepped on the scales this morning I was 2 pounds up. I'm really really hoping that some of it is water retention, but maybe not! Ah well...going to be good this week.
Hope you all have a good week,
Erika x0 -
Hi everybody - hope you all meet your goals in May.
I am new here, but looking forward to encouraging you all through May :-)0 -

I'm a bit rubbish as I dip in and out, and lurk on the UK thread and never post. But I'm in Edinburgh.
Bank holiday weekend = too much food and drink so I'm trying to be super good this week to make up for it. Have a friends Hen night in a few weeks so that's my next target.
I've been inspired by some of the recipes and even bought a crock pot (slow cooker to you and me) Going to attempt something this week, assuming I can get all ingredients as most recipes on here are very american. Will let you know how it goes.0 -
Hey all
well i;ve had a good couple of days
did a 5mile walk yesterday with my mum along with 30 day shread
off spinning tonight, my favourite exercise i love it!
and then of course 30 day shread again
i have the car this week as my mums now gone to france, so going to the gym will be easier, as it's a long walk away!
hope you are all okay xx0 -
Evening All :happy:
May the 4th be with you :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: yeah I had to get that in, it drove me nuts driving home and hearing it on Radio 1.
So how is everyone?
Lee: I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mum's sisters several years ago, and while we may not have known each other very long in real terms the bond we shared was deep. Take whatever time you need x
:flowerforyou: to all the newbies & lurkers - the more the merrier
Plantpot - my weekend wasn't so good either :blushing: not much logging happened, but I'm back on track now - will see what the scales say tomorrow when i get weighed at class. Will be thinking of ya for the 10k x
:laugh: ditto Erika
Soooooo, my good news *drum roll please* I managed to fit into a size 18 dress :noway: :noway: :noway: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Was with my best friend shopping for her wedding dress and a dress for me as her maid of honour there was the b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l dress on the rack at Debenhams. The largest size they went up to was 18 and I thought what the heck, I'll try it on. I nearly started a full scale security alert when I screamed :laugh: :blushing: i coudln't believe it fit me - I've not been a size 18 since I was 18. I'm going to have to wait for the sale, since the wedding is in Australia in December and by the time the sale's come round I may (fingers crossed) have dropped at least another dress size.
Ok, I think I've gone on enough, till the next time, TC folks and b'bye for now

OH .... AND.... IM SEEING WESTLIFE NEXT WEEK! i actually cannot wait!! I've loved them ever since i was about 9!! lol a LONG time!! ha ha!
Woo! I love Westlife hehe
Good Morning everyone!
Hope everyone is feeling motivated today. I'm hoping to get myself down to the gym but it's such a long walk that it takes up so much of my day... it is worth it though, but I'm job hunting and annoyingly have some calls to wait on today.
We had a great dinner last night from www.taste.com.au it's definitely my favourite recipe website - and it has low fat/healthy/diabetic collections that have the nutritional info included on the page 0 -
Hi all - well I got married a week and a half ago - managed to get down from a size 22 to a small size 14 for the wedding (see my profile pic), and I felt like a million dollars!
A week in Barcelona stuffing tapas and Rioja has put 5lb on but I've set a nice easy goal to get that off by 12 June. Then I want to lose another 10lb and I'll be happy as a pig in...
Back to the gym later this week after I've cleared all the washing and ironing from the wedding and the holiday. Just going to go online to buy a gorgeous dress from Coast as an incentive.
Good luck for May everyone!0 -

Hey all,
Hoep you are well. I couldn't go the gym last night, but did the next best thing (well, for me anyway!!) and went the driving range to get a bit of practice in. Hopefully if it comes off, me and a few mates are playing a round of golf on Saturday and I'm really looking forward to it. Not been for a while and it will be really good exercise.
Back in work now, but it's only 3 days to the weekend, so it's not all bad. Not having anything planned at all, will be a nice chilled out weekend, watching the Golf Players Championship and hopefully Warrington Wolves continuing the defence of their Challenge Cup!! :happy:
My boss has made me a nice gesture aswell, she told me I don't need to take any holidays for my Aunt's funeral nest Tuesday afternoon, which is really nice of her. Also, I got called into the big bosses office in which I got really worried as I thought I got in trouble whilst I was off........I ended up walking out with a big pack of Cadbury's Heroes and a 6 pack of Budweiser. Since I'm not really drinking and watching what I eat, the missus can have them for when she goes round to her mates on Saturday. I'm glad I'm back in work in a way, as I can get back into my usual routine. With being off, I've not had any breakfast and it's been having an effect on me.
Anyway, enough ramblings from me (which has come as a nice change, as the last few days has obviously been a bit sombre :frown:), lots of work to catch up on.
Hope everyone has a good day and a big welcome to all the newbies. You'll find a heck of a lot of cracking people on here, who will motivate you, look after you and are very caring and considerate despite the fact that you have never met them in person. I consider a lot of people on here now to be really good friends of mine and over time, I'm sure all you new guys will aswell. :happy:
Take care

Kendra - Well done on the Size 18, I had a very similar experience in Debenhams in October when I was looking for a dress for a wedding. I think the shop assistant thought I was nuts! It's a fabulous feeling. :flowerforyou:
hdelamore - Sounds like you're doing very well :happy:
Rudie - Congrats on the wedding, and the weightloss. You look gorgeous and very happy in your photo. :flowerforyou:
Welcome to everyone new, lurkers and posters alike.
KP - Glad to hear you're ok. Just remember to look after yourself .
I'm supposed to be going to the gym tonight, but I feel a bit rough today. I've not been sleeping very well recently, and I think with the weekend it might all be catching up with me! Hopefully I'll feel a bit more awake this afternoon.
Hope you all have a good day,
Erika x0 -
Howdy Doody MFPeeps! :flowerforyou:
Hugs to you all! I hope you all have a good May and the sun comes out wherever you are...it certainly doesn't seem to want to in Leeds
It's May and I'm going on holiday in JUNE! :noway: :glasses: :smokin: :flowerforyou: :drinker: Anyhoo...I've done quite badly the last couple weeks argh same old story do good do bad do good do bad = don't get a anywhere :brokenheart: :sad: :brokenheart: :sad:
I'm on Day 11 of 30 Day Shred today...I'm starting Level 2 tonight, I took a sneak peek at the first couple exercises after completing level one last night...Oh. Dear. God. I'm gonna need some good lucks to complete Level 2 without keeling over I think!
So...I went to Warehouse and bought some nice shorts for my holiday on the weekend...size 12 but they were a comfortable fit quite roomy, which is good BUT I think I might genetically supposed to be like a size 8 or something because even though there was quite a bit of give in the waist and around the thighs I still have orange peel leg, how much fat can physically be on me for God's sake anyway I'm hoping doing the Shred everyday for 2 months will help me out a bit but man on man I do get depressed about it :huh:
6 wks until my Race for Life 10k - nobody has sponsored me in my office or my family yet :grumble: what the!
Anyway who looks at my wall will probably know I was meant to weigh myself yesterday after a few weeks of not weighing myself...I bottled it. I'm doing it tonight and I've resigned myself to a bad result. I can only hope it's not THAT bad!
Have a great day everyone! Mims 0 -
good luck mimi!
xx0 -
I may have had to wait at home all day and miss the gym... but I got the job! Woohoo!!0

Evening All :happy:
Cheers all for your best wishes, it's very much appreciated!! I talked to my sister's somemore and I'm resigned to waiting till the sale - if only for the price tag to drop some :happy: but I'm still on a high from fitting into a size 18.
More good news, I had my weigh-in at the Rosemary Conley class I go to and I've lost 2.5lbs this week :noway: which I'm in shock about - since I was out for dinner on both Friday and Saturday and I know I went waaaaay over my calories. BUT I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth and will be sticking to my calorie allowance for the rest of the week :happy:
Katherine - good to see ya, as always :flowerforyou: and have a fab time @ the Westlife gig
lilmissy2 - :drinker: WTG on getting the job :drinker: Cheers for the link btw, love checking out new food websites. And look no further than this forum for motivation, afterall that's what we're here for x
Rudie - you look amazing your wedding dress :happy: I'm aiming to get down to a size 14 myself. :laugh: i probably should've started sooner, so I could get a reasonable priced dress for my friend's wedding in a few weeks, but better late than never and I have Oz to aim for
Lee - *hugs* you take it easy. It was a very nice gesture by your bosses, I'm glad they're being understanding x
Erika - I think if I go back to Debenhams the sales assistant might just call security!! Besides I took a pic of the dress so i can drool over it at my leisure. But yes it is a fabulous feeling, espeically given i've not been a size 18 for so long!!
Mimi - You can do this!! You're doing sooooo well with the 30-day shred. I did check it out on YouTube (like I did with P90x) it's something I'd like to try, but I think I'll leave it till I've lost a bit more weight. And good luck with the RFL!! I'm aiming to run that next year x
I'm off, I have a St John Ambulance meeting to get to, so, TC folks and cya all again soon xxx0 -

Sainsburys is the diet devil in disguise!
Sushi is really healthy! I love it! We had a SI Sushi near my work and it had posters all around saying the rice and seaweed plus protein was like the most balanced healthy meal option out there, and I believe it! It might have carbs but we all need carbs for a healthy diet! Mmm sushi!
