UK, Northants so not far

Nothampton, UK here....

Northampton here - Less than a stone to go now having dropped fromm 18st 4lb to 14st 8 with a target of around 8-10% body fat before I start building lean muscle

Northampton here - Sent a few requests as I didn't know there were local people ;)

Late 30's here from the UK. Pushing to lose about 40lbs. Add me if you want to join me on my journey

Hey hey - getting back into this again after a few weeks break - East Midlands here. Good to see more Brit's banding together

Northampton here if you fancy adding me ;)

Feel free to add me.... I have lost over 40lb so far with another 7lb to go :)

Feel free to add me and don't let the profile pic put you off (it does me).... Daily poster and on a fitness and weight loss mission here in the UK.

I'm in Northampton if you'd like to add me... Always welcome new friends to help keep me on the wagon. I always try to do my best to help in return :smiley:

Northants here, add me if you like. I'm on every day and you're right, too many US food bits and not enough inspiration from the good old UK supermarkets

Daily logger in Northampton.... Feel free to add me (I would add but the Android app throws a fit when trying to see profiles)

Feel free to add me.... Day 10 tomorrow and could always welcome support and willing to offer it back :D

Wow, kettle of worms here? It seems it is an interesting one that seems to have varying opinions. In my own personal situation, I have set myself as having a sedentary exercise regime as I am sat in front of a screen, on a train or in a meeting for most of my life. It's not ideal, granted but that can't be changed. I'm…

That's what I was thinking generally.... Exercise equals a bonus bit of weight loss. I think that's the attitude I'll take. It makes it easier to plan meals as well then if you are looking at a flat amount of calories a day. Thanks guys :)

Completely agree with the above.... My coffee is white with one sugar and 10-15 of these a day plus a bought double latte.... Now that isn't going to be good for you ;) Changed that now to no more than 3 cups a day and 2 litres of water. Truthfully I've never eaten enough fruit and veg so swapping nuts for grapes helps to…

Fair play, I bow down :) You are right though, it's making the changes and making them stick.... The gym is something I will bring into my regime at some point. I need to set into the first habit of food management first and hope that this helps with my long days. One step at a time after all (although I'll be starting…

Joolywooly, I know where I went wrong. Stupid as it sounds it was giving up smoking! Suddenly for the first time in 25 years I could taste food :s At least I've grabbed that, accepted it and I'm now tackling it.... Once I've lost about half of it, I'll be back on the weights as I'm quite a large build (broad shoulders and…

Yoovie, there is a lot of truth in what you say. Having a plan and acting on it are 2 very different things that have to work together. There has to be a certain amount of planning but saying I have to lose x amount by y is probably the wrong way of doing it. I think my plan simplified is I have to lose 3st (43lbs) and…

Sounds very sensible, I suppose I'm doing good a similar thing through accident ;) The food thing I can tackle..... I think I'll take a leaf out of your book, concentrate on the food and then see about making time for exercise :)

Started getting off the tube a stop earlier and walking back to the same station in the evening. It's not much but it's a start. Soup seems to be doing the trick for me, I'm doing OK and this is the third day on this regime. ;)

Thanks :smiley: Truthfully it's always been one of those things that I wish I had never started as I tried everything (patches, gum, Alan Carr book, Spray, cold turkey) and nothing worked for me. I actually bought my first vape stick as a way to cut down but was off the cigarettes in 3 days! Truly amazing invention. Shame…

Active new friends for support are always welcome... For some reason when I try and view a profile page though it crashes so I'll have to rely on kindly people to approach me ;)

Excellent! Every days a school day eh? Thanks :)

Haha, all accepted (I still have no idea how to send a request though) I'll learn ;)

Hey Megan, I'm in the same boat.... Too much to lose and a partner that looks great. Sucks, doesn't it? I'm literally just starting myself (although I'm not a believer in diets as such, just limit what you take in to less than you use and the end result should be controlled loss) Good luck... I've no idea how to add people…
