    SNAP. Im in it for the long haul this time. I lost around 30kg first time round when I started training about 3 years ago, but have managed to pop 20kg back on due to......well.....my mum's AMAZING cooking (no lie.....it really is that good) and work commitments.

    But anyhows, I am getting married in June 2011 to an amazing lady :) so back to the old heave haul workout (need to look good for those wedding pics). Remembering how good it felt being slimmer and more active is probably the best part of my motivation to keep it up!

    MFP seems a real good place so feel free to add me if you like - Look forward to getting and giving some encouragement.

    A fellow chocolate Lover!

    Enjoy!

    I'm looking to lose about 25 pounds ... we'll see how I look at that point. But if I can lose at least 20 I'll be back to my weight of 6 months ago!! Then I fell off the fitness wagon ... :noway: That's not gonna happen this year. :wink:

    A big thank you to everyone for joining this thread, for sharing your stories, for being positive and supportive. I'm amazed and inspired by all of you!

    I overate by 200 cals today, but unlike before, it was all spent on healthy food, so I haven't been stuffing on junk. This weekend I am kid free. So I plan to do a spring clean of the house, plus do the 25 min walk to and then from my high street for my optitions appointment. I'll burn off way more than 200 cals. I'll then have a fun go on my PS3 move and dance to my own bad singing with Michael Jackson and Lady GaGa. Bring on the weekend! Woo :o)

    So I'm not doing great today with calories (nothing like an innocent looking "savor size" salad to decieve you) BUT, this is day #4 with no nicotine. Not a huge accomplishment but it's a start.

    4 days without nicotine is a great accomplishment!! It takes 3 days for nicotine to get out of your body, so you are there :happy:

    Keep it up!! Just get back on track with your calories tomorrow!

    Great to hear from you again. You're keeping so positive and active.

    Well, I've been doing well this week. I've stayed near my calories, sometimes slightly under or over. I've substituted unhealthy Friday treats for healthier ones, or not so calarific ones. I don't really exercise, but just spent over an hour, mopping, hoovering and cleaning the whole house and kept it vigerous to burn those calories. I'm feeling the effects after only 6 days. Very happy!

    Have a great weekend everyone 8:o)

    I am in! I just got started on this site yesterday and am determined to stay focused. I think seeing my food intake onscreen every single day might be a big help.

    I will post my weight after I weigh this morning.

    Same here.... One week on here, down 3 pounds. Logging food is one of the keys, another for me is burning 5027 calories the first 7 days. My running ticker below. Look for the post about the 51 things that burn fat... good read.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I'm a first time user. Hopefully I will be as successful as some of the others on here. I have tried many of the fad diets only to go up and down like a yo-yo and by no means were they cheap. I'm tired of waisting my money, tired of being overweight and having increased health risks. I decided to join myfitnesspal in hopes that I can get and stay on track with determination and others who are in the same boat as me giving me motivation to succeed. This is the morning of day 2 for me , goals have been set and so far so good. I just hope I don't lose focus or get unmotivated once or if I plateau.

    Starting weight: 188.7
    Goal: lose 20lbs
