Hi all, I'm returning to mfp after a few years. The horrifying thing about having 140lbs to lose is that I did this all once before. I got to target. And then I put it all back on and a bit more. I have the standard excuses, gradually started gaining weight as I had a knee injury and couldn't excercise, gained lots of…

Ah that's not wonderful- did you find it was underestimating or overestimating calories?

I'm interested to see the responses here as I'm wondering the same thing. I've lost 15lbs in 2 weeks and am breast feeding my 10 month old. I think the main reason for the mig loss is that I've just started counting cals and have cut right out things like chocolate and sugary juice. I'm thinking that once my body has…

I'll look out for it. It's hard to admit that I've gained back all the weight I lost. I've just read my own "success story" thread on here - that's depressing. Just have to think of this as the start of a new journey! Take it one day at a time. X

I'm a 33 year old mummy to two, also tried slimming world in the past, and quite liked it so I still use the cookbooks as they are good and low fat (some a bit bland!) I've also got more than 100lbs to lose! :smile:

Oh - also I'm from Scotland.

hello! my wedding day is 8th Sept 2012 : )

Hello!!! My wedding day is Sept 8th 2012....which seems to be a very popular day for it! We've got more or less all the big stuff sorted, and i CANT WAIT!!

Hello, Im Sam, im 27, studying divinity in Edinburgh.

hello, yeay for Scotland!! Im from Edinburgh : )

oh, and scorpians. (irrational)

rational fears 1.illness/death in my family 2. financial instability 3. failing irrational fears 1.balloons 2. wind turbines

I know that this thread has been about how unrealistic the Disney princesses were but if i had to pick one for a role model it would be Belle. She can read, she is a deep thinker. She is sought after by the stereotypical "good catch" gaston but she turns him down becasue she wants someone with a bit more substance. she…

oh i seeeeeeeee. aye, fair enough.

ok, so you actually lost more than you said you lost? becasue you wanted someone else to win? Is that whats going on? im confused?

im pretty sure it has been on the forum before, but that's ok. I have lost a lot and yes, the skin is a problem. I think i might have surgery one day to try to fix it, but i plan on having babies in the next few years, so there's no point in fixing it now. How much are you planning on losing? I think this will only be a…

try a class....i love working out in a group, it keeps you going and you meet new friends! Also. i have never been able to run outside but i can run on the treadmill, maybe this would be worth trying if you are keen on running. But you should try some classes! zumba?

amazing transformation!! well done you look so healthy : )

AH! how wonderful!! its such a brilliant transition! I can imagine how elated you are, and you should be, you earned it! congrats!! keep up the good work : )

oh, to answer your question....body attack is another les mills class with a similar cal burn, but its not my cup of tea. its high impact aerobics though, try it : )

i do combat and I LOVE it! Its my favorite : )

Bridesmaids is possibly my favorite film at the moment! so funny!

Baba you have forgot your housekeys x

I would love to run a marathon too, i have tried to run so many times, and i can run on the treadmill for AGES....but as soon as im outside i cant do it anymore!!

I think generally I probably am. I like the fit feeling when im at gym classes. I like feeling better in clothes and feeling (usually) like I look better. Although I am generally upbeat - I think sometimes I am not too happy. Being the type of person I am , the better i do (in anything, not just weightloss/fitness) the…

absolutely! : ) im sad that we are the only 2 people on the whole forum with any hopes and dreams....ah well : )

These are inspiring hopes and dreams! You are a bit awesome!! I would love to learn another langauge too, maybe french : )

really bad cravings for chocolate today....but i am a month clean (lol) and did not decide to destroy myself today...which i feel rather smug about now. If I had given in and had it at lunch time i would have totally had a major binge by now. and i would feel rubbish! woop.

woo!! excellent progress!! keep up the great work : )

1. well done 2. you are gorgeous. 3. enjoy the new improved version of you :)
