Hi, Im definitely struggling with this at the moment! I've been in maintenance for a good couple of weeks, then really let my hair down over Christmas and have added a few pounds so like you I dropped back to 1200 cals, I was hoping to shock my system into losing the 4 pounds I'd put on and then after a day or 2 increasing…

Bump! I can't be alone with this :-( seriously I'd love to hear any maintaining stories...please give me hope!!

I make my own cleaning products at home and add essential oils to everything! I'm all for making your own products it really does make sense! However I have always been scared about trying it on my hair! Maybe I will pluck up the courage once I'm at the end of this bottle! Here in the UK the apple cider vinegar doesn't…

Oooh lovely thank you! I shall check this out! Since having my little girl there are many smells I can no longer tolerate so fragrance free sounds good!

Oh I love Molton Brown! I keep having to stop myself buying their hand wash and lotion! So good! The brand I've just bought is Silk Oil of Morocco...have heard great things about it...so here's hoping its all true!!

Lol I bought mine online so I can't use that as an excuse! :embarassed:

Lol! It comes with a free TINY bottle of skin and hair serum! That makes it worthwile right? :laugh:

Ibetancourt: love your shades!

My worst date was with a guy who was so obsessed with comics and superheroes he spoke about nothing else! He wore a ring that matched his favourite hero and showed me photos of his room where he had ripped out comic pages and stuck them up as wall-paper and he had superhero bedding....dont get me wrong, i love Sci-Fi films…

I refer to my husband as hubby in texts and forums etc, but to his face I call him Handsome Man or Babes and he calls me Gorgeous or Babes; we call each other this every day without fail...it now sounds odd if he does call me by my real name!! Just thought I'd throw that one out there, I'm sure some of you will be sticking…

I stumbled across MFP searching for the amount of calories in lentils! Previously when 'dieting' I'd cut out carbs, and all the bad stuff and lived off rabbit food; yes I did lose weight but I soon got bored, and soon felt ravenous!! It didn't take me long before I started pigging out on all the things I'd been depriving…

I personally haven't tried WW but I do know loads of people who have, and have successfully lost weight, but they all seemed to put it back on again. I'm afraid to me it really doesn't make much sense, I find the whole points system confusing and don't feel it covers all food items. I dread to think how many points I've…

Not sure if any if these are any good? 1) A "wear your slippers to work day" ( I definitely would pay to wear my boot slippers to work!) 2) Selling crafty things or tray bakes and cakes is always a winner. 3) A raffle? - people could donate items so there's not too much cost in getting it started 4) Does anyone have a wii…

Hi, I'm Nikki, currently living in Scotland but hoping to move back to England next year. I'm almost at my goal weight so am hoping to be maintaining after Christmas. (although realistically I'll be needing to lose my Christmas weight first!!)

Hi, I currently live in Scotland, but am English. I like you am always on the look out for support and motivation and knowing of little treats in our shops is always a bonus! Some of my top snacks are: alpen bars, toddler crisps (organix), Maryland cookies (57 cals per biscuit, but they are so sweet, 2 makes a good treat),…

Thank you, this post has just stopped me feeling hungry!!

I have an English accent; if only I could bottle it up and sell it you all! I'd make a small fortune! I've never really liked the sound of my voice; I've been told many times I sound quite posh!

HUGE congratulations on your weight loss and that is fantastic that people are starting to notice. Don't feel bad about the other lady feeling like she 'had' to mention something, if anything you would have given her inspiration that it can be done :-) And I rarely notice people's weight loss / gain, only because a persons…

Oh yes I so get this! I went shopping just the other week to buy new jeans as mine were quite baggy! Upon picking up several pairs of jeans and trousers in the size smaller than what I previously was, I suddenly thought everyone would be looking at me, thinking "LOL she'll never fit in those!!" but I tried them on anyway,…

Lol! I make my husband walk around in just his jeans so I can perve at him all day :laugh:

My husband couldn't take his eyes off my butt whilst I was working out :laugh: made me feel fantastic! I'm loving my new butt!!

Oh yeah! That's cool! Thank you Meg! Let's burn those calories!

HELLO FELLOW SHREDDERS and newbies :-) how fantastic a new challenge and we're all here again! I'm so sorry I was so so so pants with the shred, my shoulder is still a wreck :( BUT I went for a run today!!! Go me!! So you can count me in for this challenge! If I'm not able to shred I can still do something! And now my…

Bump! Hubby left this morning...so just bumping this thread to see if there are many others in the same boat. He'll be back in March, so my aim is to tone up at hopefully maintain my current size whilst he's away!! Add me as a friend for extra support during this time that our loved ones are away

Yum yum! So what time did you say dinner was ;-) I love sushi and am also from the UK and know what you mean about there not being many places that sell it, it is something that is seriously lacking in this country! Perhaps you should open a restaurant ;-) Enjoy your sushi!

Gentsevetzak: lol love it! Not sure I'd ever be brave enough to wear anything that bright even once I've lost my remaining 4 pounds! At least you won't get lost in the crowd!

Asyouseefit: that sounds like a lovely coat! How about some skinny jeans and brown knee high boots? Not to go against what your bf said or anything :-p

Lol LOVE it! I've lost an average housecat! I'm hoping to work my way up to lose a Sperm Whale's Brain, something I've always wanted to lose!

Thanks everyone :-) Allie: you will get there Im sure, keep up the hard work! Kimberly: I bought 2 beautiful bright red tops the other day :-) and I've seen a vibrant pink dressing gown which will be a nice replacement to my grey one! (yes I really did buy a grey dressing gown! Which I now really dislike!) Shanolap: I…
