Well done on getting back into Onederland! :)

Wow, you look amazing! Congratulations :)

Hi, I'm back after losing 40lbs beforehand and then having it all creep back on, and then some! Lots of big events lined up this year so have got the motivation and determination back! Feel free to add me :)

Wow, huge transformation, congratulations!! :flowerforyou:

You look so much healthier - and younger!! Well done hunny, and thanks for the quotes - love "Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street" :flowerforyou:

You look fantastic hun, you should be very proud!!!

I agree with most other people on here, that the speed will come gradually, and that you should concentrate more on the distance. We all start out at this speed and build on it - even the top professionals started slow and the speed came later! Think of it as your body getting stronger the more you use it, so the more you…

Congratulations!! Well done :)

Definitely spotty!

That's some transformation! Well done to you! :flowerforyou:

Wow, the change is amazing, you should be so proud!! :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the replies so far... Ok, in answer to the questions... I've got my goals set at 1200 but I do eat all my cals back. I'm not seeing much weightloss recently but am losing inches. I have been trying to focus on better hydration as I know I suck at that, and generally better eating choices, but I'm by no means a…

Thanks for all your replies... I started running about 9mths ago last April... I did my first 5k in July, had a month off and have then been running s couple of times a week until December time, when I started to up my training in preparation for the Half Marathon in March. Writing it down like that would agree with the…

Wow hun, what a change already!! If you can get this far then I know you can do more - go get 'em!! :)

Wow that is fantastic - I can totally see why you don't get recognised! Well done :flowerforyou:

My current favourite is melba toasts, topped with a scraping of low low cream cheese with cracked black pepper, topped with cuecumber slices... A pack of 6 toasts with the topping included are 120 cals. I'm also loving Alpen Light chewy bars - especially apple and sultana and the cherry bakewell - 70cals each :) Also, a…

I got pregnant and then breast-fed lol. Not something I guess you can try! I may have a night out literally once a year where I get a craving and give in but the next day I quite happily continue as if I hadn't. Try looking at this calculator to look at it from a financial point of view seeing we all know the health…

BUMP for future reference! I'd be here all day quoting all your pic posts - fab work ladies, *go shorties!*

Close, 27 :) @rockymtnlove 26

Hi, I feel for you. I went through this with my little boy. Admittedly he was about 18mths but I'll pass on the advice I was given by my Health Visitor that worked a treat for us. My boy was tuned into our adult routine (both of us worked evening jobs so went to bed 1am or later and got up late - 10am was an early start…

Personally I "politely request a brief message saying how you came across my profile as I like to know how you found me and who I'm becoming friends with!"... for exactly that reason lol. I add most people that send me a request but will delete those who haven't been active in 2/3months.

You're both welcome - it's the best site I've found that's "real women" rather than simulated or essentially just models!:wink:

Hi, As someone said, it depends what country you're in as to what sizes are considered "Normal" etc. I'm in the UK and I think most people would agree a size 10-12 is a very nice healthy weight, but it really does depend on your individual body shape and stats. You may like to have a look at this website which shows lots…

MFP already figures in a deficit to give you weight loss over the week. If you work out and don't eat them back you create a bigger deficit which is normally well below the amount of cals you need a day to simply survive, let alone be healthy and go about your daily activities. Sure sometimes going under by a bit is fine…

BUMP

BUMP Yummy ideas, thanks !!

Bump means you post the word Bump and it puts the post back up at the top of recently replied to threads so more people will see it. Sometimes there's so many threads going that people completely miss a really good one so people post Bump to literally Bump it back upto the top. To the OP, I'm really impressed you say the…

This!

If you're not feeling ready for it, (especially if you're feeling injured!) I'd suggest re-doing the week 2 so you will feel confident moving to week 3, and you won't be putting extra pressure on yourself or your body. Definitely make sure you're feeling better before moving on though as you don't want to risk further…
