Team UK & Ireland - April 2011

Hi
Am in UK, I joined with my hubby and lost 3lb in my first week, am in Southampton have 3 teenagers and a dog. really enjoying this site and this is the most motivated I have been for a long time. I am disabled so am unable to exercise so its a bit harder for me to lose weight, the amount of meds that I am on dont help either, but am so determined to lose weight.

Would love to make more friends on here, the support the better, I look forward to getting to know you all.

Have a good Easter

Hiya - just wondered if I could join the thread? I'm Kelly and I live in Ireland. Waterford girl here, up the Deise and all that

Have been on MFP since January but moving house and getting internet set up (then some idiot spilled Malibu on my laptop so had to get a new one) has meant I havent been on much... but Im losing weight still which is good. I used to live all around the UK (Herts, Cornwall, Hampshire, Wales, Glos.) so its always nice to speak to people from 'home' as it were!

I'm back after being away, again, and sorry to say that I've kinda gone off the diet rails and seriously need to get back on. I lost 6lb in about 6 wks (which I know is poor but was excited I lost) but have put all but 2.5lb back on !!!!

I seriously need to get a grip and cannot believe that I'm living up to the 'flaky southerner' image. I am soooo cross with myself but know I only have myself to blame. I need someone to actually kick my butt !!!!

To everyone else that has lost weight, reached their targets/goals ...... I salute you !!! :bigsmile:

nice to see you back, yes you might have put some weight back on but not all of it, you've done this before so you can do it again.

Team Uk'ers I've decided to set myself specific weekly goals to keep myself on track so I'll see how that works out. I always seem to do better if I've told people what I'm committing to, it makes me not want to fail once I've said I'm going to do something.

Hope you all had a great easter break - I can't believe how lucky we were with the weather. having 4 days off has felt like I've been away for ages and with the sun shining I've spent most of my time outside - either in the garden or out on my bike.

My sister asked me to go on an evening ride with her on Thursday after work and to be honest I was feeling a bit tired and thinking "hey it's the long weekend, perhaps a glass of wine instead?!". But I was proud of myself and went - and it was brilliant! We didn't go very far or fast but I was amazed at the improvement in my fitness and I realised how much I like being out and about on the bike!

So I managed to get out on the bike again Saturday, Sunday and yesterday with the kids! Now I'm sitting at my desk back in the office wanting to go again. But hey ho - we've another 4 day weekend to look forwards to so I can't be too sad. :laugh:

Hi Zoe,

No challenge here - just a thread for general chatting!!

Well done on your first week's loss

New profile pic, no more chocolate p0rn, instead an inspiration for me to keep working and get more like the girl in the pic than a wobbly pink jelly.

I have opted to work tomorrow as my ex is off so can look after the kids, I figured I might as well save the extra day off for when I need it later in the year to cover one of the random inset days the schools seem to decide on. Hope everyone enjoys tomorrow whether you are watching the wedding or just celebrating having an extra day off.
