to devils avocado i think the getting into the plane seat diet is usually mty most succesful ..sooooo motivating i would die of embarrassment to hear those words ...extension please ..si i always diet best about 3-4 months before a holiday ...i just need to try harder for the rest of the year0

I wish I had some kind of goal to motivate me, but I'm happy in my relationship, no big events coming up soon that I need to look good for.
I just feel like I want to do this.. and I've done it before so I klnow I'll do it again!
I bet having something to aim at works best though...0 -
Looking forward to a happy, healthy you is the best goal!0

Hi everyone,
I've been using MFP on and off on my iPhone for a while, but I'm new to the forums.
I had a baby in April and I'm still working on losing the babyweight (I put on 52lbs!) 6 weeks after birth I weighed 172lbs and I'd love to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 147lbs, but ideally closer to 140. My current weight is 159lbs. For August - I'd like to get down to 155lbs.
I'm breastfeeding so can't cut my calories too much, and exercise is pretty limited to walking and lifting my (very chunky!) baby. I'm a bit of an emotional eater too - so bad days = reaching for the bad food!0 -
Good Evening Team UK!
This is the first time I have written on this post but I would like to join if you'll have me
I joined mfp a couple of weeks ago and although I have been sticking to my calories most days and exercising, I don't seem to have lost any weight. Think I need new tactics as I have been dieting on and off since I was a teenager and it is getting boring. I think I must have lost my body weight about 10 times over lol.......my goal would be to lose about 18lbs before Christmas although I have been invited to a wedding in the beginning of December. So fingers crossed I'll have lost the weight by then and be feeling tons better!!!!!0 -
HELLOOOOOO EVERYONE! lol
Thanks James - your a star for keeping this all going!
So im on Day 2 of my DETOX... its going well so far - i havent caved in! feeling ok... a little light headed and unfocused on my job, but its ok.. only a couple of days left!! :laugh:
How are you all??

Hi All
My August has been very random, mainly due to not going to the gym as having difficulty finding someone to look after my son, so kinda lost momentum, and it showed this week on the scale with a 0 loss! But so pleased not to have put on phew!!
This month I have set myself a target of at least 50 kettle bell swings a day to at least have done something! did a 22 min power sculpt and fat burn for a 314 calorie burn, and man do I feel it!!
What with al that is going on, working on two businesses and entertaining the young gun will be glad when school starts again so I get back to a routine..LOL
goal for the month is to drink more water and 50 kettle bell swings a day.0 -
Hi All
Great to see so many new UK-ers!!
I have had a good month so far which has seen me gain Slimmer of the Week and my Half Stone certificate in Rosemary Conley! I have now lost 9lbs since I started back a month ago. I also did a mini detox for four days and felt fabulous on it. I had the flattest stomach I'd had for years after it!!
My goal this month is for 1lb per week. I'll be happy with that as I only have 5lbs to go until I reach goal weight. However, I am off on an All Inclusive:frown: cruise :happy: this Friday so no doubt will end up putting some of the 9lbs lost back on! Even with good food choices there's so much temptation on a cruise - not to mention the cocktails! I will try to be good but also be sensible, I want to enjoy my holiday but not over indulge. If I put a few pounds back on then I will pick myself up when I get back and work to get it back off
Lovely to see everyone's updates. Please feel free to add me :happy:0 -

Hiya, I did this one last week. Try and stick with it if you can - I had fab results. 4lbs off in 4 days plus 1.5 inch off my waist and 1 inch off each thigh!! Have you got a detox buddy? Me and PinkPrincess buddied up for ours - it made it much more fun - lol!! Keep up the good work xx0 -
Hi everyone - seems to be lots of newcomers like myself have joined this month
Hi Amanda - I recognise you from another site :flowerforyou:
Well I have had a bad few days, a take away on Tuesday and went to pub with family on Wednesday - all the extra calories seem to have made a difference already :grumble: my trousers definitely feel a bit tight around the derriere this morning. Maybe the trousers have shrunk???? No don't think I can get away with that one :bigsmile: Can you really put weight on your bum so quickly :noway: no the trousers have shrunk!
Must get back on track today and the rest of this week. So I'll have to fill up on fruit and veggies and give the biscuits/chocolate a miss.
Take care everyone0 -

4lbs in 4 days thats amazing...! Where can I get the details of this detox? xx0 -
Wizzywig - it's probably just water weight.
I went to Prezzo last night and couldn't resist a risotto and garlic bread. Oops! I went with some friends and one has lost 2 stone since having her second child and she looks fab. My new aim is to think WWFD (what would friend do) before eating anything. I really admire her motivation and willpower and I want sone of it!0 -
Hello everyone i'm new here too! aiming to get from 14st 1 to 11 stone before my sister gets married in 2 years time.
used to be slim, then i had kids lol!
heres too some good weight loss this month 0 -
I'm having a bit of a nightmare... have been going to the gym lots (5 times in the last week), have been eating 1200 calories + some of my exercise calories all week... and I've not lost a thing, in fact I've put nearly 1lb back on. I'm guessing my weight just needs some time to catch up with what I'm doing, but its really hard and demoralising :explode:
Hope everyone else is having a good week!0 -
Nessaj, I can sympathize, I am not losing weight either although I am sticking to my calories and exercising every day. It is very frustrating as I don't know what else I can do!0

Hi everyone
I've had some trouble in navigating the site for messages etc. but that's only because I have 'techno trouble' as my daughter kindly puts it! So if anyone ever messages me and I ignore them it's not because I am ignorant, it's because I am quite useless!
Anyway, I have been away last week in Cornwall. Wasn't a particularly good week with all sorts of problems and I spent most of my time sitting on the beach, in the wind and rain, grazing on crisps, pasties, etc. for the sake of it! Luckily because I have a sleeved stomach I only gained 4lbs and have managed to lose 2 of those already (for how long I'm not sure as my weight fluctuates daily) but I am feeling pretty down and quite miserable at the moment and what do I do when I feel like that? Yes eat! But, despite that I have been to the gym twice this week and am trying to get myself motivated to go today.
I am sure I will get there if not slowly but surely.
All the best everyone x0 -
Hello there I would really like to join? I go on holiday on 9th September and Ideally I would like to loose 6lb by then, I have been shocking with exercise at home as I have not had a good week with my partner, but thats another story, I have been good not to eat to help my emotions, just little slip ups here and there.
I am heading away for a long weekend tomorrow to the other halfs mums and she bakes alot of cakes and cooks alot but I am talking to myself and thinking no this cannot happen.
I intend to not eat late tonight as last night I did and the scales depressed me this morning.
When I return next week it will be the gym five times and walking with my partner at night when we can and healthy eating - I will get to that weight and feel ok in a bikini - with your support - so here goes. It may not be a brill weekend but I am not going mad0 -
Hey team, am I too late to join in the month. Only 12 days in so should be alright. I am from Purley in Surrey and am aiming to lose 5kg a month but I think that might be a bit too over optimistic but am trying my hardest. Cycling to work 3 times a week and gym 3 times a week. Trying to keep a track of my food intake too.
Good luck to you all.

Hi fellow UK people
Hope its OK to tag along for August.... I started on MFP start of July at 17 stone 11, at weigh in this morning I was 16 st 10. I'm aiming for about 14 1/2 stone which I haven't been since.. actually I can't ever remember being 14 stone anything! My lightest recorded was 16 1/2 stone a couple of years ago, had a few health issues and gained.. you know the story. Anyways I'm kind of settling on about 2 lbs a week so far, so hoping to reach target by Xmas 2010.
Good luck to everyone else, if you wanna add me to your buddy lists then please do so, I'm quite friendly!0 -
it's never too late to join, we're more a support group than anything else, just keep each other up to date with what we've been doing 0

I was so good last night! My boyfriend ordered take out pizza (his diet is awful!) which isn't a problem for me because I don't really like take out pizza- too much rubbery cheese - but instead of delivering his mozzarella sticks, they delivered onion rings- which I love! I was eating a yogurt and was already slightly over on calories and I said NO! So pleased with my willpower
Hope everyone has a good Friday (the 13th!)0 -
Onion rings omg you did well to hold off from them. Nice one.0
