2lbs down also! Very pleased as I thought this week wouldn't be anywhere near! Well done to everyone, you're all doing amazingly :)

Hi all! I'm a UK girl of 5'3" and I currently weigh 143lbs. My weight has fluctuated a lot of the last 6months but I'd love to get down to 133lbs by the beginning of June when I go on holiday. That gives me approx 66 days to lose 10lbs! Good luck to everyone on their journey, and if anyone has some great motivation…

That's great! I'm in!! I've got to lose 10lbs in about as many weeks so any help would be great :) I really appreciate the support on MFP, there's nothing better than others for a bit of a confidence boost or some inspiration! What gym routines do people find that work?

Hey! I am also 23 and 141lbs, standing at just 5ft 3. Feel free to add me and we can join each other on the weight loss journey. What do you find the hardest thing about your weight loss journey?? Well done on your loss so far. How have you been managing that?

I also need to shift about 10lbs before the beginning of June so will happily join you on this thread. I have found that up'ing my calorie intake has actually helped, I was eating too few calories. I also find that drinking lots of water really helps for us girlies who retain water. My biggest struggle is my love of both…

Thank you. Have started to weigh foods regularly now, including my dinner tonight. Good to know how accurate or inaccurate I was being before. I sometimes find it difficult to log items when they are in USA measurements such as cups and oz as it's hard to translate them to UK portions. Are there any specific categories I…

Thank you both. What do you mean by I'm not logging properly? Admittedly I haven't been logging drinks, I've started this today and was surprised at how much those empty calories add up! There have been a few days that I have begun logging and not continued but 80% of the time I log every meal on a regular basis. What do…

I think you're right. My weekly weight loss goal was 2lbs a week which would be marvellous but I guess a little unrealistic for a small girl with just a stone to lose. It's this stone that will take me down to my ideal size 8 so I guess I was keen to lose the weight quickly. Impatience is my downfall. Do you think it is…

I have a real bad relationship with calorie counting as it seems that when I do that my weight doesn't budge. This either means there's some weird coincidence, I'm doing something wrong or it doesn't work for me. Do you always eat the calories you've worked off? I.e if you go to the gym and burn 300 calories, do you then…

Hello! I'm a 23year old female, 5'3", size 10-12 and 142lbs. I'm aiming to be 130-133lbs. About me: Weekdays - support work, largely sedentary. Weekends - Sometimes working or catching up on sleep and diploma work Spare time - swimming, visiting my other half, cinema, restaurants, reading Loves - Chocolate, Cheese,…

Really interested to jump on the Hairy Dieters Diet Club band wagon. Mum bought the book for me last year and have had a few recipes from it but not really used it as a diet plan before. Until now. Bfs parents have been following the recipes and absolutely swear by it so thought it would be worth giving it a try. I was on…

I get rid of the bread completely which usually cuts out 120 cals a slice (not to mention all those nasty carbs that make me feel bloated and take ages to burn!) Instead I cut up a load of lettuce, fresh tomatoes, a load of cucumber and some sweetcorn (not in sweet water) and then I mix half a tin of tuna with either salad…

With those who HAVE found that they have lost weight, what worked best for you? I feel sometimes that because I'm not "fat" and don't have a hefty amount of weight in the first place it is harder to lose it. I used to be a cross country runner but now struggle to run for longer than 20mins. I'm currently doing the Couch 2…

YES!!!! Finally!! In my healthier days I was a size 8 and sometimes a 10. Now I'm a 10 and sometimes a 12. I'd really love to get back into all the clothes that I've got sitting in my wardrobe and my drawers (especially the ones that cost more!) but I find it really difficult to shift weight. I know people say that it's…

I go to uni in Canterbury!

Sounds totally cliche and all 'hopeless romantic' but we met in our freshers week at uni. Hit it off straight away. And now plan on being together for the rest of our lives. It's a small world, because our parents grew up in close neighbourhoods, we both have relatives living in Suffolk, our siblings are very similar e.t.c…

Hello :) You've taken the first step. Deciding to lose a lot of weight is a very big step to take and the fact that you are so keen to do so is brilliant. The best piece of advice I can give you is to set sensible goals. Obviously 130lbs is your overall target weight but maybe start with 200lbs to begin with, just so you…

That's brilliant advice thank you :) I will particularly try not to eat carbs after 7pm too. Do you think there's a particularly good time to eat meals and which meal should be the biggest? People always argue that breakfast should be big and decrease from then on. I prefer a larger lunch and small breakfast and dinner.…

Thank you :) With regards to water, do you think there is anyway of water tasting better? I hate it. I drink flavoured water but obviously there's the addition of sugar and what not? Or I guess that's just something I'll have to either put with or I'll have to bite the bullet and just drink old fashioned water. I've…
