Thanks im trying to do this sensibly ...0 -
Also Scottish (and in Scotland) My 50th Birthday is in Aug 16 I am aiming to lose 3 stones by then. I think 1/2 stone a month is quite ambitious but it's all about the motivation. If we seriously want enter the next decade fitter healthier then let's do this thing0

Am in Glasgow, biggest part is maintaining healthy diet and exercise regime till they become part of ur day. I'm 50 and with the help of calorie counter and selfishness to maintain a routine am probably healthier than I was at 40, am def using weights better, you will get there0

Hi, nice to see a Scottish residents(!) group
I'm returning to mfp after nearly a year as I have more time on my hands post 7th May!
My wife and I went on the 5:2 diet just over two years ago with great success. I dropped 3 stones, she managed 2 stone. We've both drifted a bit, 10lbs for me and she's not saying!
So here I am back in the saddle, counting cals here and carrying on my exercise programme I started after a heart attack, (2 stents fitted & I'm brand new!)
A couple of weeks ago I was fooling around with 9 year old granddaughter carrying her around and she informed me she was 3 stone. Realising that that was what I'd lost I resolved to get the 10lbs off that I'd gained since stopping logging my stuff.
I'm in Helensburgh so my cycling is tougher than when I was in Partick, but I enjoy the off-road stuff.
I'm a retired offshore tech/Merchant navy engineer, getting as much fun in to life as possible.
Motorbikes are my adrenalin booster

Hello, perthshire representative here.
Got about three stone to lose, but firstly I'm trying to just focus on stopping snacking and trying to keep my sep count up each day, hopefully weight loss will follow too0 -
Hello there from West Lothian 1/2 stone a month is achievable and sounds like a great goal I'm kind of doing the NHS 12 week programme but will be using MFP to keep track of my calories. Starting tomorrow so please feel free to add me and we can give each other some encouragement. I have a lot to lose but taking it a little goal at a time.0

Yes that is certainly achievable, I was dropping 2lbs a week the last time I got serious about fitness & dieting. The main nemesis is alchohol which is certainly best avoided, which for me is the hardest thing to do without0

Hi - good to have a Scottish group. I'm in Midlothian. Had gastric sleeve op on 5 February. Lost 5 stone to date - another 6 to go. Can only eat small amounts which is making weight loss much easier. Have lost this much before but never been able to keep it off - hence the op - had to choose between new car or op and decided to go for the op!! Look forward to hearing how everyone is doing.0

Hi I'm Kirsten from Cumbernauld. Happy to see there's Scottish users of this app ! I have lost 2 stone with slimmingworld and am needing motivation and fellow slimmers chat. Hope to hear from you all soon x0

Hi, I'm Allan from Dunbartonshire. Good to see other Scottish folk in here. Good luck on your 2 stone. I've lost 10 Kg in about 3 months by eating healthy, moderate exercise, and using MFP to ensure I don't go over my calorie allowance. Would like to loose another 10kg, but could do with some motivation to keep me going. Feel free to add me.
