Hi there,

I started with MFP a few months back but unfortunately work became silly busy and my focus took a nose dive.

BUT with 12 weeks until my fab holiday in Cuba, and the dreaded bikini to fit into, I'm back and getting into this properly. I want to lose around a stone, but hope to shift at least half of that in the next 12 weeks and get a lot more toned.

Seem to carry a lot of weight around my thighs which I hope to blast (training for the marathon didn't seem to work at all, so definately need to focus on food a lot more).

Anyone up for a new friend? I'm in the UK but be keen to hear from anyone to help motivate each other!

    Hi there,

    I too have just joine MFP... and I TOO am off to Cuba at the end of November.

    When and where are you going ? We are off to Havana for 3 days and then Varadero. We go the last week in November. Can't wait... have wanted to go for years.

    Ideally want to lose 2 stone, but it's only 13 weeks I believe! Eek!

    How much weight are you trying to lose ? Do you have a target/aim ?

    I'm signed up for a 10k run in November to help motivate me, that I might have to walk mostly - but we'll see. A marathon eh ? Good for you.. did you complete it ? When was it ? Well done you.

    Mel xx

    Hey there you can add me as a friend if you like :)

    As for losing half a stone......you'll have no problems.......i've lost 9lb in 4 weeks and to me that has been pretty struggle free and even included a fair few slip ups and hardly any exercise lol. Logging my food has become a bit of an obsession, but in a good way :)

    I'm sure you'll be able to do it. Cuba sounds like amazing motivation. I'm going to Rhodes next year which gave me the push to start - bikinis are scary things! :smile:

    But feel free to add me. I'm from the UK too, I've been on here for nearly 2 weeks I think. Good luck!
