Hi! I fell off the weight loss wagon in August 2013. Put back the 7 kg I had lost and now weigh more than I did when I started to diet. I am now on my first day of the 5:2 eating plan, with lots of hope and a good exercise regime planned. I'm 66 so THIS time I better succeed, not that much time left

Hi all, im re-re-starting as of today this time im sticking with it.

Happy new year and welcome to MFP to the newbies!

I restarted properly this week. Since I was away on holiday over Christmas and New Year I couldn't log and so managed to gain about 1-2kg with all the holiday food and drink. Ooops :noway:

So I'm starting 2014 with renewed discipline to lose the holiday weight and a few extra kg as well. Since I'm fairly happy with my weight now, I've also made some fitness goals for this year. I want to improve my running times with goal: 5k time <25 minutes; 10k time <55minutes. My second goal is to be able to do at least 1 pull-up.

Good luck to everyone in reaching their 2014 goals

Hi everyone,

I am 5'8" and around 210-215 (I think - I still haven't dared to stand on the scales yet) - lowest I have ever been for about 2 weeks was 154 and I have spent most of my life hovering around the 200 mark + or - about 15 lbs. >.< can't believe I am having to lose weight again but back injuries + work + life + laziness got on top of me and back to square one

Looking to drop in the region of 60-80lbs and get back to being healthy! Most people I meet seem to think I might need to drop 20-30lbs but nothing as drastic as 60-80 - Now a large size 14 or a small 16 - aiming to drop into a small 12 (or large 10) by the end of May!

Fitness + size for me is more important than absolute weight! ^_^ a cross between being dead lazy and actually really liking to be active (when i am gymming I really go for it but when I am off - I turn into jabba the hut).

Turning 31 this month so really don't want to see 32 at this weight!

looking for friends to share the journey!! London Based so always happy to meet new friends!

~*~*~ THINKING POSITIVE! ~*~*~

hey
im restating again, lost nearly 3 stone in 2012 with MFP then spent last year putting it all back on with a couple of half hearted attempts to restart in between. But now, i must have got some will power and determination in my stocking for Christmas because sine the new year ive stopped smoking and full committed myself. If i could buy a count down i would.
goals set and im here to stay

Hi I'm Dan

I'm from the uk and looking for new active friends, I've been here awhile and lost 5 stone but I've reset my ticker for this year.
I log everyday and I'm always up for a laugh.

Anybody can add me ????

Re-starter here too!

I quit when I found out I was pregnant and nearly 2 years later I'm back, sleep deprived or not :-)

I decided over Christmas to get back into shape and as soon as the clock struck 12 that was it, the diet began. I've been good so far and kept under my calorie goal, unfortunately I put on 7lbs during the festive season so I'm starting pretty much from the beginning. So far so good...lost 4lbs and counting. My incentive is the amount of weddings and hen-dos I'm invited to this year, I've got 5 month to lose and tone before I head off to a sunny beach, surrounded by beautiful bodies..I'm dreading it atm.

The only advice I have is to plan your food shopping in advance and by this I mean every meal you'll eat and have in mind the calories contained in each.

I've looked up so many good recipes to make and my husband is loving them.You don't have to be on a diet of cardboard to lose weight, trust me and goodluck !!

Starting again too as 40 next yr and wanna make sure I'm around for a while longer!

Work up in london and find lunch is the killer where it goes wrong - not to mention going for 1 after work!

Started cycling last yr and loving that - did 52 miles for charity in September and found that it was a real motivator to get me out there, so maybe more of that.
