Hello EVERYONE!!! can anyone tell me what a stone is? when people say how much they lost so far...I only know lbs LOL
I am from the northeast usa! I have a puppy and 1 child and my hubby is on here too! we are dieting together! I am hopin I can gain more friends that are active on here! Also anyone who can tell me about protein or fiber taste effects in smoothies and if it works well?? So I started this a week ago weighed in today and lost 6lbs! WOW HUH? and I dont do weights or anything like that!
I have bi-polar so it makes it harder to lose weight and stick with stuff so I would love more friends/support!

    Welcome!
    You've done really well to lose 6 lbs already. Keep it up.

    There are 14 pounds in 1 stone. Sorry I don't know much about protein and fibre stuff as I don't drink it.

    I'm aiming to lose 20 lbs which I'm finding difficult but I use MFP for encouragement and ideas. I'm sure you'll find it really helpful. I only lost 2 lbs so far in the first week but then somehow managed to put it all back on again. But still trying!!! I'm finding that the weight isn't shifting but I've lost 3cm = 1 and a half inches from my tummy - yay

    Feel free to add me.

    Good luck

    I'll be your friend also!!! My major weight gain also correlated with anti depressants and birth control. I hear a lot of people say the same thing.
    I'm also fron the USA but I'm on the West coast!

    Hi there! Good work on losing 6lbs! protein and fiber is what you want in your diet! It helps you burn fat and also keep you full longer. Dont know anything about the shakes though, heard of it but not familiar with it. ill send you a friend request as well. the more support the better, Everyone can add me as well=] I need more also=]

    I sent you a friend request too! I understand about the bi-polar meds, my hubby is bi-polar and he gained about 75 lbs in 4 months and became diabetic. Scary stuff... On the other hand my ex-husband's new wife is also bi-polar and she was able to take off ALL the weight she gained on her meds and then some, so it CAN be done!
