your hair looks great! (and congrats on reaching your target!! a much deserved treat!)

LOL. And thanks, its still a work in progress of course! : )

I relate! I put wieght on on holiday last week nad weighed myself on monday morning cos i neded to know i had made some progress. : )

generally i weigh myself once a week on a friday. I weigh myself in my pj's when i get up.

Love this post! You have a good attitude! : )

i used to have sugar in a cup of tea. Now if someone sugars it its like poison. The same if i ask for a diet coke and get regular. its sickly! I just can't drink it...its great!

I wouldn't worry, the times I have been there have been people of all sizes/ages/fitness levels/dancing abilities. The key is not to take your self too serously and just let yourself go with it. Its so much fun!! and the music is so upbeat. give it a go! Whats the worst that could happen? : )

big difference! your looking good! : )

great story! ( i had to quit coke and chocolate too! it was the best decision of my life!!) well done on your success so far!

yeah i rememebr being really surprised at the time, but i guess its a suden change to your body so theres a big loss. Someone told me it was water or something, i dunno! anyway, great way to kick start! hopefully the weight will keep coming off (maybe not so much every week) well done :)

Hi danielle, welcome! I love this sie, theres a variety of really nice interesting people, who are really encouraging! Hope you feel at home and get into the swing of things easily! : )

thats really great! well done xx

it is great by the way isnt it! its not usual to smile so much whilst excersising! glad you enjoyed it! : )

i listed it under "dancing, aerobic,ballet or modern,twist." i figure that would cover it x

things to do in edinburgh - go and see historical buildings, like the castle/ holyrood/various old churches. wander around the new town, or the old town, discover the difference between the two. Socialise (without drinking alcohol - thats ok) in one of many pubs or if your more like me find a nice tea room! (theres one…

I'm Scottish. I'm from Edinburgh!

hello and welcome, I'm finding this site a great resource and a good source of encouragement! Hope you are having a good first few days! : )

oh lots of things...people who dont clean up after their dogs. people who listen to bad music on the bus. skinny people who can eat junk food and not get fat!

yeah your right, the fact others can see the progress you make is motivational to me!

hello! Well done on your first week! hope you are finding it ok so far! this place is a great place for support and encouragment! : )

p,s i have 51 lbs to go! : O

hi, how did you enjoy zumba? i have been a couple of times and love the class!

i worked out how to put in my starting wieght form beofre, not just mfp, so its 93 pounds i have lost. Although im not sure if i worked out the the starting weight right. but anyway, i've stick with the 93 pounds.

my profile picture is from last week, so is current, but there is a definate fat picture on my profile too, it was taken the week before i started dieting, and serves as a good reminder! its motivational, i look at it a lot.

not at all, roughly 7 and a half stones. x

hi all, thank you for your posts, i have found them encouraging! The last time i spoke to my doctor they were happy with my progress and had no concerns. kminor67, that was helpful, you are soo right, there are people i know who genuinely are very thin and people would be more likely to worry about my weight loss being too…

love zumba!!! its so much fun!! I find myself salsaing around the house sometimes! the latino rythym is infectious!

hello and welcome! You are right about diet and excercise battling stress! I always feel better after excercise! : )

i haven't worked out how to put photos in a forum post! : ( But i have added a before and now picture to my profile! the before picture was 3 christmas' ago now! the main pic is from last week, can you see the several stones of difference?? sam x

Hi garry! congrats on you weight loss so far, thats brilliant!!
