Irn Bru and a packed of ready salted crips

Nice....with a bit of naughty :wink:

My husband has been taking anti-psychotics for a number of years (not anti-depressants that you have been taking) and weight gain can be, but isn't always, a side effect. His weight has fluctuated over the years due to increases and decreases in meds, and my advice to you is to get to your doctor. Your physical health is…

Thanks, I will do! :)

Hello there! I'm Sharon, and I've been off and on here for a while, but I'm actually sticking it out this time as I'm taking it slower, but seeing better results. Community and support here is a big help :)

Hi there....I've been on here for about 5 weeks now and I would probably have given up by now without my MFP buddies so I've sent a request :)

Thanks again everyone...these tips/websites/DVD's are great and I'm really looking forward to making a start on my strength training! :smile:

I know what you mean. Weekends have been really hard for me so far, I do really well through the week then Friday night arrives and it get's a bit wobbly lol!

I'd definitely recommend Zumba....I loved it. Unfortunately I fell a while ago injuring my knee very badly and I can't quite keep up with the classes now as my instructor was really fast paced, but I still try to do it with youtube videos when I can. I tried a gym once but I get bored easily so zumba was great cardio for…

I find a packet of salted crisps (chips? I'm from the UK lol) works well, with a sugary drink like coke. Not great if you're trying watch your calorie intake, but needs must sometimes! :wink:

Hi "Wiseoldlady" - if you click on someone's name and go to their profile, there will be a "send friend request" button :)

Hi, I've sent a friend request. I've got 100+ to lose. Anyone else looking for friends, please feel free to add me :)

Hi, that's a great loss, well done! Feel free to add me, I've still got a long way to go, but have MFP friends seems to be a great start :)

Hi Kirsty, I'm from the UK too :) I've sent a friend request.

Well done :) Kicking the "bad" food is hard, I'm so thankful for low fat peanut butter. It definitely helps with my sweet tooth when I need it lol.

Hi there, I am still getting into the swing of logging everything as I eat out at weekends and find it hard sometimes, but I'm making healthier choices and my logging is getting better. I've sent a friend request, as I'm definitely finding it easier with a good MFP support team! :)

Hi, I've sent a friend request. I think I've probably got quite a bit more to lose than you, but I'm hoping to get fitter and having good support on MFP seems to be helping me out so far :smile :)

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your responses! I'm quite motivated to work out at home as it fits in better with my lifestyle. I'll definitely check out these websites! :)

Well that all kicked off didn't it! :wink: I'm generally quite a positive (non creepy) person, and I think it's great to have MPF friends for motivation on a bad day so feel free to add me :)

There are quite a lot of us with 100+ lbs to lose, and also quite a lot of people who've already lost that much, or aren't too far off their goal so don't feel put off! 100lbs does feel really daunting, and some times just impossible, but if you break it down to smaller, more manageable goals it doesn't seem so bad. For…

Hi....I'm from Scotland! I live in England now but I'm a born and bred Glaswegian. Feel free to add me :)

I've only been doing this 4 weeks, so I've only had 1 TOM so far, but it was hard. I wasn't expecting the cravings to hit so bad, but I guess the problem was that I always just gave in. I used to think, why fight it and eat terribly for 3/4 days. This time, I did have a small treat, like a chocolate biscuit or a low fat…

OMG! This is the most amazing post/thread that I have seen in my 4 weeks on MFP. You guys are all amazing, so dedicated and hard working! I have genuinely never felt so motivated and my long-term, daunting goal doesn't feel quite so un-achievable after seeing all these awesome photos. Thank you so much for posting these…

From Glasgow, Scotland but now living near Oxford, England :smiley: PS Slinky....loving the profile pic! :wink:

I don't have a car so I have to walk, but I'm glad for that now (well I do grumble about the rain now and then). We seem to be having dry, sunny mornings and wet afternoons, so I've been leaving about an hour before I start so I do a nice long walk before work, and I don't feel too bad if I don't go out if it's raining at…

Hi everyone....I've got just over 100lbs to lose too. I've lost 2.7kg (about 5lbs) in the last 4 weeks and I'm just focusing on my weekly target of 0.5lb loss a week at the moment, as the overall number is too big to think about. I want to take it slow and steady as I've tried so many times to lose weight, but I try to do…

Hi Sandra, thanks for the add :) I've given myself little goals to work towards too. At the moment, I'm trying to walk around 8k a day. I walk to work, so that helps, it just means I have to make myself get out and about at lunch time. Good luck for the 10k!

Hi there....I'm in Oxfordshire and I've got about 6-7 stone to lose, but I'm trying not to think about the big number as it can be quite daunting! I have been on MFP for just over 4 weeks and lost about half a stone so far. I've had a few stumbles, but having like minded friends here has been a great support and motivator.…
