Whooo HOoo That's brillant, congratulations. I love it when you pass those milestones. Still heading for mine, but inspired by yours.

You look awesome, congratulations. What an inspirational photo!

Two suggestions - firstly evening primrose oil taken daily can help manage the symptoms. My second suggestion is a tad unusual - try switching to a moon cup (www.mooncup.co.uk). I never suffered badly , but what I did suffer is gone - something about not blocking the flow . Hope you find relief

Welcome to the wonderfully supportive MFP family

On a backpackers bus trip between Vancouver and Banff. We had 2 days together. Did the long distance thing betweek UK and Aust for 3 years, got married 12 years ago and couldn't be happier. I think you find your soul mate when you stop looking and just be your own wonderful self

When I go to the gym its early morning, and I can't eat that early either. Just make sure you drink - you'll need tobe hydrated to complete your workout . I find a glass of juice helps to give me a quick energy burst and hydrate before a work out

You're an amazing inspiration:)

Great story. I think its ony when you start to notice the effect of the lifestyle changes that this really begins to work. I used to wonder how people survived on so little food when I'd eat a big meal and then snack afterwards - I think you've shown me the way. Thanks for the great inspiration

Here's the recipe: http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/three_bean_salad/. To make it simplier I just use a can of beans - you can…

Thank you. Drinking lots of water has really helped. And I'll try to leave on time so I can drop into the gym. I really appreciate your support - thanks

I haven't yet, but am going to. In the past (old diets) I found it helped if the pounds weren't falling off you could still see progress through the inches

I'll be a partner in crime. I've been on MFP for about 3 weeks, - we can motivate each other!
