added! :) I've even more to lose :L

Hello! :smile: Welcome to MFP. I'm pretty sure close to everyone on here adores this site. :heart:

Me!!!! :drinker: I already exercise 5 days a week but my weight loss has slowed (after only 8lbs:blushing: ) so I need to stay focused!

I was just thinking about this today actually. I've only given blood once and it's just reached the time when I can donate again. Just made a little mental note to do it! This just adds to the benefits!:smile:

Weighed this morning and didn't like what I saw at all! Up by 1lb? How is that even possible? :grumble: Anyway, I'm just working harder next week to make this goal! Went to my spin class this morning and the instructor had called in sick so one of the PTs took it. :devil: Hardest. class. ever! He didn't get on his bike…

You can all add me as a friend if you like? lol I :heart: MFP friends

Pretty sure I haven't lost a thing this week. I've doubled my goal exercise, so that's great and I've stayed within my calories, it's just that the food I've eaten hasn't been great. Stressful week, lots of family arguments so some nights were a bit iffy. :grumble: Had a peek at the scale today and yesterday and it's not…

I have 3 meals a day and 2, sometimes 3 snacks. My snacks are usually low fat yoghurt, fruit or nuts. Recently I've taken to having a scrambled egg and toast with a sliced tomato for lunch. It really keeps me full until dinner time! :smile:

I think so too and I'm glad you brought it up! I have 68lbs to lose, which at the start seemed huge. Everyone would ask me how I stay motivated. I just think to myself, when I reach my goal weight I'm gonna be able to say I lost nearly 70lbs! Those words will taste so sweet coming out of my mouth! It's worth it! :laugh:

Hey all! Had a peek at the scale this morning (2 days early:blushing:) and I was exactly the same as last week:cry: I'm not too worried, I've had a really tough week and although I stayed within my goal I wasn't eating quite as healthily as I usually do. Up side is, so far this week I've exercised double my weekly…

:explode: Pretty huge arguments went on in my house last night (& are ongoing as we speak) and I was really upset. BUT, instead of going and grabbing the nearest tub of ice cream I went swimming. It made me feel better...until I got home again:explode: But at least I got that 1.5hour away... Hope everyone is well! I've…

I have Rayman too...:blushing:

I totally agree, I'm addicted to MFP! You have a great attitude so just keep it up and you'll get to where you want to go! :smile:

Congats! That's amazing! I've been on for over 2 months and lost 8.4lbs...my body seems really stubborn!:laugh: lol It seems to be picking up the pace now though so its all good.

This site and the lovely people on here are what keeps me going! :drinker:

Aww, that's such a lovely story! :laugh:

I'm not a sad mommy...but I thought I would comment because you said your daughter was diagnosed with autism. My brother has autism, he's 16 now, and my mother, like you left work when he was diagnosed. In his case that wasn't until he was 7 years old and found it difficult to string a sentence together or pronounce words…

It's probably nothing like what you're looking for but I'm addicted to Angry Birds! lol You have to catapult birds at a big structure and try to knock it down! lol :)

So proud of my little victories! I walked to the shop last night to get a loaf of bread for my Mum, then this morning, there was no milk, so I walked again! It's not far, 15mins walk away but that adds up to 60mins walking total which I never would have done without this challenge! Left my car sitting in the driveway.…

Are you wanting to lose 1lb or 2lbs per week? I'm 209.6lbs and my limit is 1420? But that's for 2lbs per week so if you were on 1lb it would make sense that your calorie limit is higher.:smile: Also, on the topic of gaining a little bit, are you drinking enough water? If you're not getting enough your body can retain water…

Welcome! :flowerforyou: This site is really great, you only have to look at the people on here who have lost crazy amounts of weight to see that. :smile:

I try to clean as quickly as possible, as if a guest is coming and I have to have the entire house spotless in a limited amount of time lol. And I always clean on my rest days as light exercise. :)

You must let us know how he reacts! That's so exciting! :)

Getting started on my cleaning tonight 'cause my room is an absolute tip!:blushing: I'm pretty sure it's gonna take me at least 2hours to have it clean!:grumble: My mum has granted washing machine access for the entire evening too as she wont be needing it so it's a big opportunity for me to get all of my laundry done as…

I needed 64lbs to reach a healthy weight but my goal weight is 6lbs lighter than that, so a total of 70lbs:blushing: Good news is I'm already 8.4lbs down so that's 61lbs to go:drinker: That's how I visualise it, the longer I go the less weight I have left to lose. My body seems really stubborn when it comes to losing…

I say leave the BMK challenges in this thread. Everyone is kinda used to posting their progress on the challenges at the same time as their 5lbs in a month progress. I like using the challenges towards losing 5lbs specifically. Like the 150crunches/ 75 squats...if that was it, i can't remember:blushing: Last month I was on…

I'm sure everyone already eats this, but in case you don't...I am a passion fruit addict! :) They're super sweet, and if you've got a sweet tooth they're the best thing for cravings! :)

Welcome! All I can say is I haven't come across anyone who has used this site regularly who has anything bad to say about it! You've definitely come to the right place! It's motivating to see other people do well too. I'm gonna add you :) All the best. Corrinne

Hey! Thought I didn't make 5lbs for july but weighed this morning and was down another 1.4lbs, so that makes it 5.6lbs! So happy, I'd worked so hard! :) Hope everyone is excited about this month's challenge! I get really excited when I think about what weight I should be at each month! 5lbs always seems like a lot! :) I'll…

I didn't make it :mad: Weighed this morning and I had GAINED 0.8lbs!:noway: Was totally gutted. I worked so hard this week. I was swimming every morning and then in the gym in the afternoon 'cause I was on 4.2 lost for the month and I wanted to make it 5lbs. I ate healthy meals every day, never exceeded my limit, in fact I…
