  • Just keep going as per usual. Don't beat yourself up, don't punish yourself, just keep going. It's okay to have a holiday, just don't unpack and stay there. I made it 5 days without binging. That's a big thing for me. Today I'm just back to my normal program and that's the end of it. Don't look back. :) Recognise the…
  • Hey Dawn, I'm Steph. I've been logging into MFP for ages, but only in the last week have I ever gotten serious about it. Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me as a friend if you like. One can never have too many cheering voices behind them :)
  • I borrow my housemates' dog. :-) He likes to go for ages, so I walk him for a long time until he stops pulling at the lead and then we jog. It's taking some practice, but we are getting there. :-) It's like running with another person but without feeling the need to talk. Good luck with the C25K. I'm doing that myself.…
  • I'm happy to an MFP buddy :smile: Feel free to add me.
  • Hi! Great to have you on the forum. :-)

  • And always always always remember to think positive! Never forget that the way you think about something changes the way you react to it. If you tell yourself "I suck at this, I can't do it!" You'll start to believe yourself. It's patently untrue. You can do this! :-) Find out what works for you and stick with it. For me,…
  • My two easy and quick go-to meals when I'm short on time or am lacking a level of desire to spend any time in the kitchen are: Fruit smoothie - mixed berries with some lemon juice, ice, whey protein powder and some water all smushed up in my blender. (Keeps me full from 8am to about 11am which is when I have lunch at work)…
  • Hey Kristi, feel free to add me as a friend. I'm only just starting my journey and would love to help keep you motivated and hopefully you can do the same for me. Finding people in the same situation as yourself can help wonders, especially when you're having a bad day and you can see others still plugging away at their…
  • Feel free to add me!
  • I'm happy to be MFP pals :-) Nothing like a few like minded individuals to keep you on track, so feel free to add me too!
  • I agree with the above, though, it is also worth noting that certain types of food are better consumed at certain parts of the day. For example, things high in carbs, fats and sugars usually need to be consumed earlief in the day so that you have the necessary time available to work it off. That includes fruits and pasta,…
  • I'm 26 too, so I hear ya! It's great that your bf has started doing it too. It always helps to have someone to be healthy with. You can hold each other accountable. Good luck! You'll be fabulous. :smile:
  • Pole classes are amazing. I used to do them. It's a full body work out and gives you skills you never thought you'd have. and you feel sexy doing it. I loved it. They can get expensive though. It's a huge confidence booster, though, so for me that made it definitely worth it. I'm about to start doing aqua aerobics classes.…
  • https://www.fitbit.com/user/2WDPVZ I've been using Fitbit for about a year now, it's great :-) Feel free to add me. We need all the motivation we can get!
  • I've started doing some running lately as well and have found I love it too! I started using the Couch to 5K app this morning, so I'm hoping to see some results by mid year :-) I'm happy to be a virtual running buddy. Congratulations on running a 5k! I get about half way and want to keel over and die. Thank the powers that…
