thats 4 dress sizes you have dropped!! thats excellent, well done : )

"you wnna go where everybody knows your name" : )

on random phobias - i have a fear of wind turbines(irrational fear). i dont knwo why...they just look so sinister!! Im scared of baloons too. one burst in my eye, it blurred my vision and it hurt (rational fear) I also feel uncomfortable seeing scorpians on the tv...

(julsdaine...wee bit snippy). cassie, i had a read,the sample menu that they present isnt as bad as i thought it would be, but its not ideal. theres not a lots of veggies (with the exception of the salad stuff) and the other stuff would be a lot of saturated fat. The diet would be really high in cals too, and this would be…

i got the dvd as a birthday present on thursday, but im not sure if i can do it in my flat because if im jumping around it might annoy my neighbours : (

I am in the third year of an honours degree at university and have no career aspirations. i want to be a wife and i want to be a mother.....but i really really really don't want a career!

I have been thinking about responding to this topic for 2 hours. Its difficult. I was told yesterday that i was beautiful even though i was sleep deprived and looked like corpse bride. ....so there must be more to beauty than aesthetics. Beauty is not objectifiable, its subjective, which lends it room to take so many…

Edinburgh, Scotland...err...Great Britain, Europe, The World. : )

cant wait to be normal....(well done!!!!) : )

thats excellent, well done on your success!! Keep up the great work : )

you can check the database for elliptical, put in 30 mins and see what it says for your weight (which it has stored). The only way to know for sure is with a hrm with your weight programmed in, but they are expensive (worth it though). I completely understand why you would want to put your weight in the machine at the gym,…

Its just a personal choice i think, ive found the way ok without really seeking advice about specifics in my diary.

If you tell your facebook pals you burned ____ cals doing ____mins of ___ they wouldn't care(they might actually say "and??"! ) but,...your fitness pals IMMEDIATELY give you encouragement and spur you on!! it gives you a lovely boost : )

glad im not the only one : )

i just looked at yours after reading your post...lol...thought it might be interesting...but youve only had breakfast so far... (I keep my diary closed because i can't cope with the idea that people know exactly what im eating. I dont like people watching me eat either)

you are stunning and radiant! I'm proud of you x

see, i do drink coke zero all the time now (which people tell me off for) but i like it! I switched from one fizzy addiction to another, but this one has less than one calorie in it.

of course i shall get the ball rolling. I used to drink pepsi cola every day....i cant remember the last time i had it. its been more than 4 years! I can't remember the last time i had an alcoholic beverage. (I used to have one now and again, but I don't really bother about it so can think of lots of things i would rather…

that must be a great feeling! congrats on the good work....those jeans wont be too far off im sure : )

I do LOVE having a hrm. I got it for my birthday (thurs) and used it yesterday for the first time. It wasn't too far out for the excercises i did. I found the elliptical had over estimated (although to be honest it wasn't the hardest workout ive done on it, as i was just filling time before a combat classs) and the body…

i kinda thought that was why, i would be the same. So i was thrilled to have a reason to say my name!! (i had considered wearing a tshirt with my name on it!! lol!! )

I have been using photobucket and its been fine. is this a new problem?

it bothers me that i feel so lethargic today!! and that i have to work a 12 hour shift, then go to someones 21st birthday party (who i dont even know) then lose an hour tonight when the clocks change forward...then have to get up super early tomorrow to wrok again. I need rest!!!

I'm going to stop listening to them too!! And 168 is attainable! : )

In the abstract aman with chiselled abs is very pleasing to the eye. but you kind of get to thinking that hypothetical perfect abs guy spends a lot of time perfecting these abs, and loves these abs (and the rest of his perfect body more than he would have the capacity to love another person... I think its important (for…

there is a bag containing dirty laundry in the reception desk area that i am currently sitting in. I have been smelling the same bad smell for 3 hours...and its making my head hurt.

I love ow the first three people who replied to this thread were redheads! lol!! speak out for your kind!! I'm a brunette. So i prefer brunettes becasue naturally we are clearly awesome!!

I'm also stuck at 180. I have been since Christmas. My target is 168, im quite tall (5'10) and have good proportions so i dont really look like im overweight. Also, people keep telling me i am not overweight and i am stupid to suggest such a thing. Which isnt really motivating. yeah, its tricky i was just saying to my…

Just had a chance to read through all the comments, thank you all so much for the encouragement. A couple of people asked questions about how I lost the weight or did i have any tips. Basically, its as simple as this, eat less and move more. To begin with (I was dieting before i was on mfp) I would just cut out snacking…
