    Evening all! Day 3 and still feeling motivated which is good considering its the weekend and I am normally always bad. Feeling more alert, more energy and found am sleeping a lot better past 2 nights as i dont feel so sluggish, which is great news for me as I have a few medical conditions and going in for operation next month and feeling good.

    Hope you all had a great weekend :D

    Evening all!

    Just completed my second session on Biggest Loser (Kinect), it's quite tough going really. Lots of short bursts of different exercises. Weighing in on Thursday, so I'll see how I get on.

    I've got Zumba planned for tomorrow, then Biggest Loser Tuesday and Thursday. I'm hoping to fit in a visit to the gym on Wednesday seeing as hubby will be home to watch the children.

    Going to have a look to see what I can take for lunch tomorrow - I usually end up having a school dinner (usually a huge baguette or wraps but the cooks put loads of mayo in). My new year resolution was to take my lunch 4/5 days and seeing as I have only been back at work two days, I'm doing pretty well!

    Going to have to meal plan as well. Hubby is off work for the next couple of weeks so he'll do some cooking.

    Evening all! Hope you're all well. I saw the King's Speech last night at the cinema. Definitely recommend it and seems like the Oscar buzz is about right.

    Went for an almighty training session this morning doing two classes to prepare myself for having friends over for lunch.

    Now have the evening to myself which is a treat so going to put my feet up and chill out! I'm a Chris Moyles fan on Radio 1 and Comedy Dave is on Dancing on Ice this year so I'll be watching!

    The weather here was so lovely today. It was cold but the sun was shining! I live in Herts by the way but work in London. Anyone else in that general area?

    Hope you all enjoy you're evening and I'll catch up with you tomorrow!

    hey hey i'm a huge Moyles fan too shame Comedy Dave didn't skate tonight but i'm so looking forward to next week

    Good Morning All

    Got in my car to come to work this morning and Chris Moyles was on radio 1 talking about this site and how brilliant it is. He didn't mention it by name but did say that Aled had mentioned it on twitter so I checked it out and he has been talking about MFP. So chris Moyles may well be hiding amongst us lol

    Woohoo! First weeks weigh in & I've lost 7.5lb. :bigsmile:
    I have to admit I did a little 'happy' dance in the bathroom, so not a pretty sight considering I weigh in the nude.:laugh:

    First few days I was DIY'in it. Since Thurs I've been on the new WW plan. I had my doubts, cause all fruit & veg are 0 points, and well tbh I can get thru a lot of them. But it must be working.

    Hi guys! Can I join in the fun too? I'm Ros- 43 yrs old (44 next month- how did that happen?), 5ft 7ins tall, married, 3 kids, live in Sheffield. My weight has yoyo-ed all my adult life and am currently just over 16 st, aiming to get to 10 st 4, so definitely in it for the long haul. I downloaded the app a few months ago, but then life caught up and overtook and I ended up in a bit of a crisis towards the end of last year. Feeling a bit better now, and ready to tackle my weight again. I've already lost a pound since New Years Day because I've given up alcohol for 2011- found myself drinking far too much when i was trying to cope with everything. It hasn't been as hard as I expected, and it has done wonders for my self esteem. Anyway, I thought I'd start doing a food diary on my iphone, to see if I could boost the weight loss, then I noticed the forum. This seems like a great place to be and I know moral support makes all the difference, so I'm looking forward to getting to know people.

    I heard that too! I assumed it was this site he was talking about as I'm not on Twitter so didn't know for sure! So relieved they are back on air. It makes waking up in the morning that much more bareable!

    Hope you're all having a good day!

    Hi All,

    Its going to take me ages to add everyone on this thread as a friend - but I will give it a go.

    I joined around 6 months ago & am 1 stone lighter :)

    I still would like to lose another stone over the next 12 months, but found my motivation was severly lacking in Nov / Dec & pretty much fell off the wagon so to speak, which meant that I put on about 4lbs, otehrwise I would be showing an 18lb loss right now.

    Its great to find so many UK based people on here & hopefully we can do our best to boost each other along,

    My weigh in day is a Wednesday.

    Hi UK, I must admit to having become obsessed by MFP! I never realised before this just how much rubbish I was ingesting. I am hoping to lose 2 - 3 Llbs per week before I hit the beach in Cyprus in March.

    The biggest thing my wife & I found were portion sizes, our kids have left home but we were still cooking like they were coming for dinner. Downside, we had way too much food and just eat it all.

    Here's hoping everyone has the success they deserve!

    Wow you leave this thread alone for a few hours and it just multiplies!!

    Welcome to you all, the more the merrier, its great to know there are so many of us from this side of the pond!!

    Well I did my first full workout at the gym this morning and it was good!!!! Feeling really pleased with myself I pushed really hard, though I need to if I am going to run that 5k in the summer.

    Feel free to add me if you would like

    Day 4 i think now! Had a shockingly bad day at work, really stressed at the moment, got job interview tomorrow, i just want to stuff my face :( but i know its bad. Need to put on tan & do my nails to keep busy and stay away from the fridge. Heres hoping i stay good tonight x

    Good luck tomorrow Grace. I'm absolutely terrified of interviews and am eternally grateful that I haven't needed to go to one for a while! Will have my fingers crossed (can't believe you go to all the effort of a tan - what do you do?!)

    Loving the thought of Moyles being on MFP. Make yourself known Moyles!!!!!

    Great to see even more newbies and plenty of people starting to make progress. Unfortunately I've had a pants day as I got a headache yesterday resulting in me staying in bed this morning trying to sleep it off. Foodwise I've just about managed to stay on track but I haven't done anywhere near the exercise that I planned to do due to feeling really dizzy (had to give linedancing a miss because I know it'd make me feel even worse). Gonna go to bed soon as have already packed a lunch for tomorrow and got 'Glee' set up on my Sky+. Hope you all have a great evening and a fab Tuesday x

    Hi, another newbie!

    I'm Lauren, I'm 22 and I live in Surrey (work in London - so a joyful commute!). I joined the site as recommended by Aled from the Chris Moyles Show and love it - so easy to use and keep track! I've got a personal trainer for the gym (once every 2 weeks) to get my bum in shape and hopefully lose quite a few lbs in the process!

    Look forward to chatting to you all =)

    Now I'm wishing I listened to Moyles in the morning! LOL

    Great to have you on the team Lauren. I used to do the same commute as you (from Walton-on-Thames into Waterloo) so I totally relate. Look forward to hearing how you get on with your personal trainer :wink:

    Hello - im another UK slimmer :happy: - im in Sheffield

    Managed a 5pound lose in week 1 and targeting myself a pound every week - I want to lose 85 in total - so plan on being around for a while :laugh:

    Im managing ok with the food - and being 100% honest on tracking, thats where ive failed before..."forgetting" things ive had, so even if i go 100 or 200 over, im tracking it so i can see where i can improve.

    I dont have an iphone - but really want one, especially for tracking my food!

    Just back from Zumba and watching biggest loser. Our Zumba teacher announced tonight that there is a free streetdance session on Wednesday for anyone interested, so looks like I'll have to change gym to tomorrow and streetdance on Wednesday.

    I worked hard in Zumba tonight so hoping for a loss when I weigh in on Thursday.

    Watched Biggest Looser tonight for the first time. OMG I can push myself hard, but the competitors are unbelievable. It just seems so unfair that people get thrown off, they should have the chance to do the whole show.

    In regard to the mysterious Moyles, seeing as all the newbies have been pretty much female if he was among them it would appear he would have an interesting alter-ego :)

    (first weigh in tomorrow - hope it's good...)

    Hello and welcome to all the newbies, I joined MFP a year ago on 12th January and managed to lose over 3 stone by the August to reach my goal weight of 8 1/2 stone (119 pounds), I am now trying hard to maintain that weight and this morning I was only 1 pound over so not bad after Christmas/Birthday and New Year celebrations!!! This is a fantastic site with so much support and I hope that you all reach your goals :smile:

    from Surrey, check, trainer every 2 weeks, check, aged 22...ummm yep wish I was again! There was a good similarity going on until the age.

    Anyway I was naughty yesterday and made the mistake of sitting studying with a packet of biscuits next to me. Back on track again today though, the best thing about going to work is that I can only eat the food I take with me.
