in Introduce Yourself
Hi! My first post here. Im from just outside Edinburgh and just wondering if there were any fellow Scots or UK people here?
I'm a SAHM with a 5 month old boy and have lost 36lbs so far through exercise and better food choices. Currently on day 9 of the 30DS. I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight but I want to lose another 14lbs to be at mh ultimate goal weight.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello!

    Hi Claire :)

    Well done on the weight loss. I'm desperately trying to increase my weight loss and get fitter as now I'm 40, and my youngest is 13 in May I can no longer keep blaming baby weight LOL

    I'm based in the UK and would love to connect :)

    Thank you for responding ladies! Thanks Emily. It has been tough, especially the last 14lbs and I still have another 14 to go, just slowing down now. Must keep going!

    Hi

    I was born in the UK but live in NZ, don't know if I can be included. Great work all of you. I have a 11 yr old gilr and a husband who acts like he is 5 years old sometimes! I have been on MFP for about a month now, went a bit awall a couple of weeks ago but back on track now. Long way to go but things will be thrown at us to try and keep us going! Add me if you wish, even though our time frames are opposite! I used to live in Cheshire, but over in NZ I always say Manchester - home of Coro street as they all know that.

    All of you keep up the great work

    Ciarabubs, I love the boards too. I had no idea they were here.

    Mrshlh you can do it! It seems daunting, I had 50lbs to lose but I am now 36lb down. I set myself mini goals and that kept me motivated. Good luck!

    Kathneal, hello in NZ. All are welcome!

    Hello new people, I have added you all.

    Mrsjobba, fingers crossed for your 2lb loss, well done so far!

    Theironpenguin, brilliant username.

    Hello in Ireland, paddy!

    Imperfect_ang, best of luck. You can totally achieve your goal jusf keep focused.

    Hi Amandatiffany, hope you are enjoying London. My best friends live there so I visit very often and really love the big city.

    So great to see so many people from the UK or nearby.

    Starting level 2 of 30 Day Shred today, I haven't taken a rest day yet as I haven't felt the need to but after watching what I will be doing today I am thinking I might need to change that.

    My weightloss has slowed recently and I am thinking this is due to undereating so going to up my calories a bit and see if that has any effect.

    Hope you all have a good day!

    Hello! I'm from Edinburgh.

    Managed to lose 2 stone about 3 or 4 years ago, but the final stone is a constant battle - lose it, then gain it, then lose it etc.

    Logging calories is the only thing that works for me and these boards are great inspiration exercise-wise. So I'm back here again to get rid of that extra stone!

    Hey! Im from Manchester, although I'll be up in sunny kirkcudbright for a week next week! Also doing 30DS, are you seeing results? How's it going? I started dieting when I got diagnosed with celiac's, because the condition had been scuppering my weight loss efforts for years. So now I'm making up for lost time :)

    Hi I live in Uddingston, just outside Glasgow. I have been on MFP since January but been trying to loose weight since last July and have now lost a total of 53 lbs. Only another 53 or so to go! I too still blame the weight on my daughter, now 14, so this excuse is begining to wear a little thin.

    Hello!

    Yes I'm seeing results with 30DS, not so much in terms of weight loss but I have dropped 1.5inches under my bust and 2 inches from my waist in the first 7 days. I measure and weigh myself on a Monday. It is a great workout as it is only 20 minutes and I can work this around when my baby is asleep. Sorry to hear about your coeliac disease, I was just tested for this but turned out to be good ol' IBS. At least there are some great gluten free products available now.
    30DS is in YouTube now, you should have a wee watch!
