Add them to soup, or even some good old Irish stew!

I don't see why a breeze would have a negative effect on exercise... Where I live (southern Japan, 35c and 90%+ humidity), no a/c = no exercise for me!

Sadly, I think that's normal, although it is only temporary and you should see a good drop once your TOM is over. Don't be discouraged!

A toy poodle named Bingo, a turtle named Kameji, a rabbit named Polly, four goldfish (at the last count), and a collection of stag and rhino beetle/larvae. :ohwell:

I so want to bottle your words and save for cases of emergency! Mwah! :happy:

Thank you! I was getting some funny ideas... :laugh: :blushing:

Enlighten me pleeease... what the heck are you talking about?! :embarassed:

1. A godly person, who reads and obeys His word. 2. As above. . . . Stick with number one and the rest will follow :-)

My body has been under wraps since... my first baby 11 years ago. No-one has seen it since. I need to see things more like you :-) You know, you deserve your very own website! You are a very special man, and I think that the Lord has a great purpose for you. Your testimony is inspiring, and your words encourage, cheer and…

I could use a cheerleader :-) Just started on MFP about 10 days ago, been on the straight and narrow ever since but worry about falling off... Feel free to add me!

Bump!

Shaking and shimmying with the Bollywood Dance Workout - 50 minutes and 261 calories burned. Some of the numbers I'm seeing here have me wondering... really?!

Feel free to add me as a friend! I have a similar amount to lose, and am a lacto-ovo vegetarian :-)

You seem to get most of your nutrition from supplements, maybe include some real food (especially veggies) in your daily diet?

Yes please, add me! Just finished my first week, worked really hard and did everything right but lost zilch :-( So I'm in need of all the encouragement I can get!

Thank you, friends, I really needed your encouragement! You are right, I will no doubt see a loss in the coming weeks... and good health is not just about weight, right? I needed to start eating healthier - less fat, salt, sugar, more protein, etc. - and this will carry many other benefits as well as weightloss. I want to…

Wow, that's fab! Keep up the good work :-D

Brush your teeth! I find that after brushing my teeth, I no longer feel like eating anything! :-)

Thanks everyone! I was thinking that this must be my body's reaction to having junk removed from my diet, and it's reassuring to know that this seems to be normal. I haven't cut out caffeine (yet), but sugar is a no-no so perhaps I am getting withdrawal symptoms from the lack of chocolate! I never seem to be able to eat my…

1990? Prince at the NEC, Birmingham (UK)... I could barely contain my excitement!

I'm just 5ft, and aiming to lose around 20lbs. I signed up last Friday, today is Day 4... so far so good, but the scales will reveal the truth at the end of the week! Feel free to add me :-)

Thanks, ladies! :-) I did wonder if it was my body's way of pleading for more calories, by based on 1200 I am only predicted to lose 0.7lbs a week and if I increase my allowance then it will take me forever to lose this weight! I think I'll give it another day or two and see what happens.

Living in Japan, I drink a fair bit of green tea, although more iced barley tea in the summer. Strangely, just last night I posted asking if tea (and coffee) could count as my fluid intake, and the overwhelming verdict was no, because of the caffeine!

Thanks everyone! And It's just as I thought, mixed opinions even here! I suppose I will just have to do my best to drink as much as I can :-) Barley tea is popular here, caffeine-free and healthy, so I'll have to have a jug of it on hand in the fridge. I probably need to cut down on the coffee anyway. By the way, sparkling…

Day 1 and so far so good! :-D

3 - 4 pounds for me, too.

Thanks for the welcome! First day going well so far :-)
