Hey, I am also back on the band wagon after a few months of not logging or doing much exercise, feel free to add me :smile:

Well done on the loss so far :smile: It can be hard when people don't take it as serious as you do, I find some folks don't realize that its such a big deal to you, and I often have to deal with people trying to feed me cakes and sweets, especially in the office. Look it as part of the challenge and give yourself a pat on…

Yeah I sometimes feel a bit guilty, but I do try and plan ahead a bit and work out a bit more if I know I will be going out for drinks, plus I think its good that if you are doing it as a lifestyle change that you can have a few treats now and again.

Hey, playing devils advocate a wee bit but maybe your Husband is afraid you will lose weight and become more attractive to others, maybe hes a wee bit insecure, you should sit him down when you are calm and have it out with him, you lose weight and get fit for yourself and no one else. An as for your daughter, its hard…

Yeah I tend to drink more by the bottle, but I try and do more of a workout if I know I am going to be having a couple of glasses. Only thing is I need to watch as I do tend to want to munch on snacks with my wine

Can you get an induction at the gym? I was a bit apprehensive about joining a gym, but when I joined our local one at the start of the year I got the induction which showed me how to use all the machines, and the instructor also gave me a programme to work on so I felt as if I knew where to start, now I love it.

You could maybe ask her why she bought it if she does not like it?

Hey am in Lanarkshire, found this site a lot more useful since January when I started adding friends and using the boards. I log every day Feel free to add :smile:

Got a lot of Older Green Day stuff on my workout playlist just now, reminds me of when I was a bit younger, fitter and slimmer :smile: So its good for motivation too

The best way to gain self confidence is to do what you are afraid to do.

Great Post ladies :smile: really brightened a stressful afternoon at work... though the addition of Johnny Depp and possibly Henry Cavill would be awesome, though doubt I would get any more work done. :flowerforyou:

Also in Scotland, tend to log everyday, feel free to add :smile:

I met my OH when I was 16 and he was 25, we didn't start dating till a few years later, I was 19 he was 28, everybody told me he was far too old, but we just clicked from the start, been together now 14 years, and getting married in December (didn't ant to rush into anything :laugh: ) Follow your instincts though, if you…

I tend to drink about 2 litres a day, more in the hot weather not that we get so much of that or if I am doing a lot of running, but I do also drink a lot of herbal tea 4-6 cups a day. Some days I find okay but other days I do run to the bathroom a lot, not sure why.

Hi Abbie, welcome :flowerforyou: The amount of information out there and on MFP and be confusing and very conflicting. I recommend reading http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 It explains it pretty well. Feel free to add me as a friend and have a look at my food and…

Hey, well done on your loss. Feel free to add me :smile:

Hey Welcome :flowerforyou: Just getting into the forums myself, even though I have been on the site for years Absolutely love supernatural, even download the episodes as I cant wait for them to show in the UK

I love Red wine, and Guinness, and also Jack Daniels with Dr Pepper (full sugar as I hate diet drinks) Probably I am a functioning Alcoholic. :laugh: I try and up my workouts, for example I know I am going to have a few glasses of Red wine tonight, so I am going swimming after work in addition to a work out at the gym this…

^^^^This, especially the screaming abuse at Kids and cursing at them, as you say it does seem to be happening all the time

I was the same, started running last January and couldn't run for longer than a minute at a time, by May I managed to run 5.5 miles in a charity run. Its worth investing in a good pair of trainers. I used Runners world for a lot of tips and training plans, I also got the nike + app for my phone which is great. I live in…

Yip me too, fair skin and hair, end up with a face like a tomato when I work out, my OH does like to tease, but least I know if my face is red I have had a good work out.

I weigh every morning and record every Saturday morning.

Hi, Congrats on the wedding, Iam also trying to get in shape for my wedding, not sure about dress sizes would just like to look a bit slimmer in the pics and loose the flabby belly :) Add me if you like.

Listening to music on the treadmill helps but I do find I get bored and keep watching the timer, though I got the nike running app which cheers you on. just started going to the gym and I find that a lot better as there's enough going on to keep me distracted so the runs not as boring, I find that mixing up the workout…

Just a nice meal and a wee chill out for me, but you can never go wrong with flowers :)
