Hey all :) Nice hearing your stories, I feel like I know you already :L I'm Rose, 20, Scotland. I'm a lazy and unmotivated person when it comes to losing weight and exercising. I'm not taking excuses from myself now though and it's going slow so far... but slow's better than nothing at all, right? I don't have a lot to…

Awesome! You're doing great! I started off with small walks too then gradually increased them. The best I've done so far was a 7.8 mile walk. Now I walk 3.3 miles a day (to and from work). Keep at it and also look for places with lovely scenery that'll make the walk worthwhile!

My house is freezing just now, and instead of putting the heating on, I did this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La14c-9TAe8 Now I'm sweating xD

Snack on fruit. Make up little fruit salads to have throughout the day. Tea an coffee also helps. Green tea, also.

True dat.

You look so much healthier now :D Well done! You've made a tremendous achievement.

1. The Redemption of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings 2. Sabriel by Garth Nix 3. Junk by Melvin Burgess In that order.

I also use it :D ^^^ Fiona actually introduced me to it, so you'll find me on her friends list :D

I ordered in too many times. I was a lazy student and had the money so I thought, why not? Of course, I regret it now, but I still enjoy the occasional take-away.

Hey Bella :) I started this around a month or so ago (I started it ages ago but never actually started using it xD) It really takes some motivation to keep on track, but that's why we're here. The more active an helpful people you ad, the more likely you are to stay on track by sharing and learning from each other's…

Awesome! NSV's are the best. :)

Hey! I'm another shorty at 5'2 :) It's so much harder to carry off a bit of podge at this height :L

Give it time. You're body is getting to used to exercise just now. Don't be a slave to the scale! And start measuring yourself and I'm sure you'll see a difference :D

Today is a new day! Just forget about yesterday and to the best you can do today. If the weather's nice, go out for a walk and you'll feel much better :)

Personally, for me, I usually eat the least amount of calories in the morning. I like have porridge an fruit because it satisfies my sweet tooth and fills me up. If you don't like porridge you could perhaps try a light cereal like special K or something? I'm not big on cereals so I don't know the calorie content of a bowl.

I have meals that I go over on calories because that's what I want to eat and once in a while it's nice to just be able to eat what you want. I don't consider it a "cheat" meal, I just consider it as something that's I'd like to eat. More of a "treat" than a "cheat". People don't seem to understand that you can eat what…

Well, there's a whole community here to help you :) The first step is deciding to start and once you've made that step the hardest part is keeping yourself motivated. MFP has that covered though because of all the great people on here I've stayed on it for over a month now. I hope you find the journey as enjoyable and…

Remember that weight loss doesn't happen over night. I was stuck for three weeks as well but then I took a while week of not exercising and dropped 2lbs. Remember to let your body rest every now and again.

Not sure about eating :P But make sure you're getting stretches in whenever possible to loosen up a bit. ALSO! Well done!

It may even be WHAT you're eating. I used to only ea once day but it would usually be takeaways and high fat foods an although the calories were low, the fat and sodium were high. (this is when I was a busy student and art time worker with no time on her hands). So maybe loo at the content of all your food an make sure…

I'm in. Although I have work later so I better get cracking.

I can't say I've really given up anything. I've just taught myself to make healthier choices.

18:19 - 840. (about to have my dinner)

I'm doing this to feel better about myself and to stop feeling like my hot boyfriends' fat girlfriend.

I work in a call centre and I have to deal with people like that every day. You just have to take everything with a pinch of salt. After a while you become an expert at shrugging things off. You just need to remind them that you're doing your job and it's not ok for them to direct their anger at you because you can only go…

I joined this on Endomondo. I've logged about 10 so far from walking. Planning on doing to the couch to 5k soon, too.

Hey :) I'm Rose from Scotland. You've both one really well! I've only lost 5.5 pounds so far, still got another 50lbs to go x) I'm not joining a gym, but I'm exercising every day I work harder in my living room cause no one can see how red me face gets :)

Thanks. This makes a lot of sense. I just felt bad as I lost 5 pounds in a week and then this week I've lost noting. I'll keep at it and see how it goes. :)

"It's not going to be easy but it's going to be worth it." Favourite.

I just started measuring myself yesterday so that if I don't loose any weight next week either, I'll know if I've lost any inches. I usually either do 20-30mins of Tae Bo, a 10 minutes aerobic dance workout and 20 minutes on my bike, go for a 4 mile walk and I've started doing 20 tricep dips and 20 squats a day to try and…
