Hello from Southend-on-Sea :)

too much wine and cheese (they go so well together) combined with not enough activity ! but now I have changed that, hardly ever drink, cheese is a rare treat and I exercise most days and after taking up running in October will be running my first half marathon in March :) big changes but i can see the results so its made…

Its never easy and I have struggled many times, and cheese has always been a big downfall for me ! You could try replacing the cheese and crackers with a fruit snack, or have a supply of veg sticks chopped up in the fridge within easy reach ??? make sure you log everything then you can see where the calories are, and I…

Hi, I have been running since October and am training for my first half marathon in March. I am running my first ever race a 10k next month as a bit of a warm up and to get experience of running with others. I am enjoying the running and the improvement in my health and fitness from doing it. You can add me to your friends…

fat free natural yoghurt, pear and blueberries :)

It is possible , if you can be strict with yourself and find some exercise you enjoy then you can do this ! good luck ! and enjoy the holiday all the hard work will be worth it when you are there !

fantastic achievements for 2011 i'm sure 2012 will be an even better year for you :)

to run my first half marathon in March :)

wow ! fantastic you have done so well :)

Have you tried eating some of these vegetables raw ! I am not a love of cooked veg, but I will eat many vegetables raw, Spinach for example raw is a great replacement for lettuce in salad and you get more goodness from them raw as they loose some goodness when cooked, and raw peppers are nice especially the orange ones :)

fantastic achievement ! I bet you have been smiling all day :)

Grapes have always gone down well at my children's parties :)

HI and welcome to MFP. Good luck hope you find it works for you. There are lots of great people on here to offer support. I've been on here about 6 weeks now and find it is really helping.

You are going to need support and motivation. There is a lot of support on here. Try logging everything you eat for a few days and see if it…

well done ! 3 belt holes is quite a difference. The scales may not show the figures you are hoping for if you are doing resistance training as muscle weighs more than fat, but its not all down to what the scales shows, change in shape is just as important. Good luck and keep up the good work :)

I always start my day with a fresh fruit smoothie made with fat free natural yoghurt and 2 or 3 different fruits, so many different mixes to try ! works out 200-250 calories and is a good mix of vitamins, protein and carbs and fibre depending on the fruit chosen.

Well done on you for taking that first big step ! and a very brave move. I use to drink most days and have not cut right back and have only had a couple of glasses of wine in the last month ! its not an easy thing to do when you drink all the time but you will feel better for it given time and you will notice the…
