Hi there! I'm Lal and live in Burton on Trent - not a million miles from you! I have a shed-load of weight to lose and this is my second week on MFP. Be happy to add you as a friend.

Hi Donna! Welcome to the club!! You look lovely on your pic - how much have you lost up till now? The last ten pounds, they say, are the hardest to lose - but it will be a long time until I get down to my last 10!! LOL I'm in the UK, and its hard to diet here when the weather is bad - nothing to go out for! BTW, your…

I know a friend who uses one as part of his martial arts training, but he uses it for two hours, twice a day. I think it works, but only if you use it constantly and it would define abs if you already show them!!. Bit of a waste of money when you can do ab crunches with the same effect.

I live on a limited income here in the UK (I'm retired) and I cook every meal from scratch. That's not saintly, its pure economics. For the…

Hi Jen Same happened to me - I quit smoking and piled on weight. I cant absolutely blame the smoking for keeping me lighter, but you do need something to do when you dont smoke and the satisfying thing to do is to eat! I'd be delighted to friend you - we all need all the help we can get! And yes - the smoking is worse than…

I'd be honoured to friend you - just tell me how - I'n no techie!! Lal

Yes- howdy all! I'm Lal , I live in the UK and I started two days ago. I decided this is the last time I start again. Like most people I have dieted on and off all my life and have been anywhere between 140 and 240 pounds and I guess its not rocket science to guess where I am right now! Having got to the ripe young age of…
