Gigglemachine Weigh day: Saturday PW: 202 CW: 201 1 is better than none I suppose. Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi everyone, I am excited to be part of this group. I'm 36 and live in north yorkshire, UK. I have about 60lb to lose. Around 9 years ago I lost 50lb on here through diet and lots of exercise. But illness and two pregnancies later meant I put everything back on plus more! I am looking forward to getting healthier and…

Hi I would like to join please MFP username: gigglemachine Weigh day: Saturday Current weight: 202 Starting weight: 232 Any group :)

Great story, you have achieved so much! And I cannot believe your first triathlon was an IRONMAN 70.3!!! Thanks for providing lots of inspiration and motivation, especially when I see your "crazy" workouts in my newsfeed :)

Request sent! Anyone else, please feel free to add me. I have 3 sprints coming up this year (each one steadily increasing in size). I love running the best so often find i have to force myself to cycle and swim but love it once i start. Good look with your goals everyone

Now! Log turkey food and xmas food and if you go over your daily calorie limit, just go for a jog or a long walk and burn off the excess! By January you will WISH you had started now :)

LOL thanks guys!

I'll send a request. I do a 5k every saturday and have a 10k next weekend plus lots of other stuff i've signed up for in 2013!

Hi I joined a similar group last year and lost loads of weight just by having the accountability so this group is a great idea :D I started at 205lb and am now 160lb. I haven't really lost anything for 6 months though but i'm hoping to lose 10-15lbs by xmas. We can do this! i'm 28 btw

This OP seems to have deactivated their account

Maybe the floats belong to a club that swim there? At my local pool there is loads of equipment for the different clubs (kayaking, synchonised swimming, polo etc) that pay to use the pool at certain times each week. You can always buy a float, not sure where you live but in the UK you can get them sports direct. Perhaps…

Hey, friend request sent to you

Haha yes it's crazy but the best plans and people always are! :) You can do it, just build yourself up slowly so your muscles develop and do lots of research on the internet (like the c25k programme that others have mentioned, running magazines, running websites etc etc).

For me, it's the little things that make me feel loved; - bringing me cups of coffee and hot chocolate - asking how my day was and listening even if he's not interested - suprising me with a home cooked meal or taking me out every so often - getting a film for us to watch and cosy up on the sofa - getting up early at the…

I think you look great in that photo!! And happy and relaxed. Like others have said, your skin is amazing xx

Hot Chocolate! My favourite is Cadbury highlights dark hot chocolate - only 40 cals a mug! In close second is Skinny Cow mint hot choc - i think that has about 40 cals per serving too

If you are worried about what people will think of you not drinking and all the questions that come with it you could ask for a non-alcoholic beer in a glass so no one will know..... or you could get a lime and soda or coke and say it has vodka in it etc. Ooo there are some pretty nice non-alcoholic cocktails in the bars i…
