Thanks everyone, it's encouraging to know it will get better with time. I think it is partly an electrolyte thing as I felt much better as soon as I ate the salt. I might try a spoonful before running next time.

I have done CICO eating on and off for years. I had some success with it, lost weight and did feel better when doing so. However, I could never keep it off. I have been LCHF for two weeks now, so still early days, but I feel so much better than with my old WOE: Less hungry More energy No mid afternoon slump Just generally…

I'm 5' 2 and a quarter. I always thought I was 5' 2 and a half, until I stupidly re-measured myself several months ago!

I sort my breakfast and lunch out the night before, so I don't need to worry about that. Have my running gear ready. Try not to think too much when my alarm goes off, but just get dressed on autopilot. I don't worry if I put my running tights on back to front (as I did yesterday) as hardly anyone is going to see me any…

Hi, I've just joined the Garmin group. I'm an old hand at MFP, but just getting to grips with using my new garmin. My inner geek loves it though.

I'm an emotional eater, again no surprise there. It would also explain why MFP works for me.

I'm up for this.

I'm in Nottingham and back with MFP for the last two weeks. I successfully lost over 2 stone with it last year, then stopped logging and am back at sqaure one! Please add me.

I'm back again and happy to add any active UK MFPers.

Yep, I love wine. However, I feel better (and it's better for my weight loss) if I only drink 1-2 times per week. So, now I tend to just drink at weekends and usually only one or two glasses! ????Cheers everyone.

Does a picture of a fish count? I'm in Nottingham, if anyone wants to add me.

Six months ago, I thought I hated running. Then I did a C25K program and am addicted! Have sent you a friend request.

I'm also over 40, allegedly, and in the UK. I know what you mean about some of the strange food! I'm happy to be added and now I'm on a post holiday blitz, will definitely be logging everyday. I'm keen to support and be supported.

Hi Op, im also from the UK. I agree with most of the advice you have had here. I think one of the hardest things is learning some patience. We all want to lose our weight overnight. Well, we didn't put it on overnight, so aren't going to lose it overnight either! Good luck with the weigh in tomorrow. :flowerforyou: Feel…

Hi everyone. Can I join in? Not sure I've got one for today yet, but yesterday's was working a long day (7.30 am - 8.00 pm) and just eating the food I took with me. I ignored the chocolates and cake that were around and I didn't even eat my "emergency" chocolate that I had with me. Meant I could have a glass of wine and…

Hi I'm a bit late to this, but I'm also living in Nottingham. I'm 43 and about half way through my weight loss journey, but intend to be fit for the rest of my life. ???? I'm a newly converted runner and if anyone has done the Colwick Parkruns, I'd love to hear from you. I log in every day and have had fantastic support…

Yes, if you can do all twelve reps X2, then move up. I'm on week 4 and love it. I'm definitely getting stronger. I'm not sure I can see any physical changes yet, but I'm eating at a deficit (also TDEE-20%), so I am not expecting to build muscle, just protect LBM whilst losing fat. Good luck and enjoy. Edit: meant to add,…

I'm in the UK and we (thankfully) don't have height adn weight on them. Great change, btw, well done.

Chocolate is not bad, it's food.

I'm doing TDEE-20% and eat 1650 every day, even on a rest day (like today). It works for me and I am having consistent weight loss. I find that exercise suppresses my appetite, so I actually need to have as many calories on a rest day. I would have struggled to eat 1350-1400 today, which would be my goal if I was set to…

This.

I joined MFP in 2010, but thought it was a load of rubbish and never used it again until this January. I now know the error of my ways.

DW Sports in Broadstairs do gait analysis, apparently (I goggled gait analysis and Broadstairs) I have always got shin splints on trying to run, until this time. The main difference this time was that I did C25K and built up gradually. There are lots of apps to try from and I know lots of people have had success with it,…

A colleague kept a door open for me today at work and said "I don't need to open it as wide anymore." It made me smile. ????

I could hardly walk after day 3/4, but it then got easier after that. Keep going, it'll be worth it.

I log every week, regardless. I have only put on once since I started in January (0.8lbs), although I may have a small gain this week as post holiday. I missed two weigh ins, once when I was ill and last week for the holiday I just mentioned. I think it helps me keep on track. I am a scale hopper and weigh every day, but…

Why would she want a breast reduction? She's probably got great breasts! I started off as a 34G, I'm now a 32FF, also same height and I have EXCELLENT sports bras and I did shred, I've done C25K and I weight train. My boobs have never got in the way or been a problem. OP, 30 day shred is great, so give it a go. I have a…

Some great inspirational ladies on here, well done. I'm 5'2 and a half inch! SW 168 CW 149 GW 130ish, UK size 10. I haven't got any photos yet, but will see how brave I feel nearer to target. Thanks for motivating me.
