Will send friend request now. I have a 7 year old little boy along with 2 older children. We all eat the same meals i just tend to eat smaller portions these days x

Not sure, are you using the mobile app or browser? Ive added you as a friend anyway x

I swim around a mile several times each week. I have lost 18lbs in 40 days, any exercise has to be better then no exercise.
-
I would suggest cutting down on your carbs and increasing your exercise. You could try walking each day, doing a online fitness video or just running up and down the stairs a few times.
-
Im not over weight im just big boned lol Sounds like your doing really well so far. I feel exercise does make a big difference.

Meal planning helps me, i eat the same as the rest of the family but just smaller portions. Find a exercise that you enjoy, i started just on the treadmill walking for 40 mins a few times a week and now i swim around a mile several times a week. It takes time to change your eating habits but after a few days you will feel…

I felt like that the first few weeks but to be honest a few weeks on and i dont feel hungry very often. It takes a while for your body to get used to doing anything new. You may need to find something to occupy yourself, if you are not very mobile it is easy to start eating out of boredom. I sometimes find some sugar free…

Initially i find my boobs go smaller but have found as my waist has shrunk they dont look much smaller they properly look larger as they are not competing with my waist and tum for attention !

Chester here, feel free to add me could do with more MFP friends to help motivate me x

I dont drink enough either, esp with exercising most days i should drink more water. I sometimes add a little lemon to water or i like to drink fizzy water, i find it hard to drink alot of water.

Feel free to add me as a friend, and well done on your weight loss so far x

Are you weighing your food?

I hated the gym so started swimming which i love so i go most days. Think it's just a case of finding something you love x
-
Hope you recover quickly x
-
Thank you both. Think i will use some and save some x
-
Just take one day at a time. If you have a bad day dont give up just start again the next day. I always try to leave some calories at the end of the day so im not tempted to cheat x
-
i try and keep some calories back as i always enjoy a late night snack, some low calorie crisps, some rice cakes and i find multi packs of cadburys crunchie bars are only 150cals so ideal for a sneaky cheat. Its not easy but once you start losing weight and seeing the change in your shape that is what will motivate you to…

I have been the same with my kids, ive now struggled with my weight for over 20yrs, i have around 5 stone to lose to get to where i want to. Feel free to add me.

Ive just started using quorn in place of minced beef and other beef products, its high in protein but low in fat and is a good alternative.
-
Hi im 42, a friend recommended this app and its been great. Think it is harder to lose weight as you get older but ive lost 10lbs in 2 weeks.
-
I keep motivated by thinking how much better im going to feel and look in a few months. I always keep some calories back so i can have a treat each day, and plenty of exercise keeps my head in the right place x
