Not really, Lost 3st already and thats taken about 6 months but ive plateaued the last 3 weeks so will have to just keep plugging away and wait for that to end. Some point in the next few months would be nice to get the weight loss taken care of then considering switching my focus to building muscle.

Good luck with your goals. Im currently also 12st9 tho my bf is 26% trying to get down to 11.5st.

I know nothing about fitness for duty exams but good luck, its a lot of pressure if your jobs on the line, but you can do it

I recommend the hairy bikers diet cook books. If youre in the uk theyre available easily but if not you might get them on amazon as ebooks. They have good curries etc which are basically my staples lol

Yeah its not good. Im a member of the same gym again now and tho those particular pts arent there anymore they seem to hire posers more than anything

Feel free to add. Im tryin to be more consistent at logging, love hearing about other peoples progress.

When i first joined a gym about 6 years ago they did an offer were you paid for 3 personal training sessions but got a refund if you went to the gym 20 times in the first 8 weeks. It was so badly organised, you booked each session in advance but when i showed up they didnt seem to be expecting me so i got a different…

Welcome Ben! Hope you are successful in your weight loss journey!

Well done on your hard work!! Im doing something similar, was 15.5stone when i started back in september, lost quickly and steadily then lost motivation around christmas and regained a lot but been back on track the last 4 weeks and currently at 13.5stone. Aiming for ideally 11.5stone but would be happy with 12.

I struggle to keep motivated with the app too just getting back into it after being absent since xmas

Clean showers, plenty of paper towels and spray available to clean machines before or after use (my gym rarely has the paper towel dispenser filled and it drives my nuts) and friendly staff.

So nice to read all the positive changes people have made For me the most effective lifestyle change was tracking down delicious low cal recipes for dinners that i can batch cook and freeze in portions. Makes getting a healthy dinner so easy as i hate cooking a full on meal every night which used to result in eating…

Ive tried going to the gym every other day but usually come in at 3 times a week. Ive been taking a chocolate flavoured protein shake after workouts which feels like a treat and if im really craving something sweet ive taken a drink of coke zero.

I try to buy all my groceries in one weekly shop and avoid shops during the week so im not tempted to impulse buy unhealthy treats. I have occasionally exceeded my calorie goal but it usually evens out within a day or two so i try not to worry about it too much if it happens. I did have a plunge in motivation 2 weeks ago…

Add away guys

Iveadded all you guys. Hopefully we can help keep eachother motivated. Jess your before and after profile pic is amazing, congrats on how much youve achieved

Thanks for the tip i would never have thought of putting it under calisthenics. Glad to hear you are finding yayog useful, im using the dvd rather than the book but so far im quite enjoying it which i cant usually say about exercise lol.

Thats great bookcase. Sounds like youve done really well this time!!

Hey. Im also back on mfp after a long break, starting over from scratch and looking new motivational friends. Will send u a friend request.

Im starting over again too and looking new mfp friends to keep eachother motivated.

Feel free to add me. I'm trying to build up a support network too.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the group. I've been logging my food diary for a few days now and been trying different kinds of exercise each day this week. Got up early this morning to go swimming, first time i've swam in years but it went really well, notwithstanding im now aching all over lol.

I rarely take selfies, i did exactly what blueyellow said above and took one for my profile pic lol. when I make some progress towards my goal might update it and will hopefully look better lol.

Hey. I'm just starting off on a new attempt at getting fit. Sounds like you've made good progress

I've made up a weekly schedule that I'm going to follow starting tomorrow. I get bored with exercise very easily so trying to do a different type of exercise each day. So one day I will go walking, the next a dumbbell workout, the next day swimming, yoga the next and a home workout of burpees, Mountainclimber etc the next.…

Hey. I'm 26/m. I've used mfp on and off but making a renewed effort.
