I'm in North London but I'm from California so I can provide some crazy American tips with an English twist?

Hi Nicole, Well, welcome to MFP! Secondly, you have to just accept that it takes time and along the way you will fail then get back up again and possibly fail and then have to get back up again. It's not fun but this is the damn truth. I've been on MFP since late December and I've been happy, I've been angry, I've been sad…

Totally not even going to happen...went away for 2 weeks, 5lbs gain... Original starting weight : 159.6 Week 2 - Apr 10: 138.6 Week 3 - Apr 17: 138 (TOM) Week 4 - Apr 24: 139.6 Week 5 - May 1: 137.8 Week 6 - May 8: 136.6 Week 7 - May 15: 135.4 Week 8 - May 22: Sweden Week 9 - May 29: 139.2 Week 10 - Jun 5: 137.2 (since my…

I've totally fell off the wagon...and just returned today. I've been bad for 2 weeks, no exercising and no healthy eating, all resulted in a near 5lb gain...very upset...but I went back to the gym yesterday and back on tracking food again. Starting weight: 159.6 Current weight: 139.2 Goal weight by July 4th: 130 Ultimate…

You look beautiful!!!! what a great journey, very inspiring. I hope I'll have flat tummy like yours one day!

I was too embarrassed to go to the gym when I first started losing weight 4 1/2 months ago so I did Jillian Michaels' DVD at home, mixing walking about 2 - 3x a week. I lost a good 15lbs doing this so no, you do not need to go the gym to lose weight. =)

I unintentionally zig zagged my calorie count last week...I thought I was over eating but as it turned out it was exactly what I needed. After the scale refused to move for a good 2 weeks, I lost 1.6lb from last week and I ate loads of food! Win win!

I don't think so, however, it was brought up at a dinner part by a very nice friend who is also now on MFP over the weekend that I ate some fish and chips and possibly some KFC. One of the girls (who's always made stupid backhanded comments about my weight loss) looked at me in disgust and said, 'you eat KFC and fish and…

I've been checking on Chinese sites that 'advertised' her rant...and the comments from a lot of these girls make me want to cry.... *She is so right. I don't deserve to eat, I deserve to be fat. *It's only hunger, I really need to just deal with it. *This is super cool. I am sharing with all of my friends. Everyone should…

It's really crap like this that made me move away from Taiwan. I grew up in the States and when I went back to live in Taiwan in 2005, I was bombarded by comments about how 'fat' I was even thought I was around 128lbs. I hated every time I turn on the tv, every channel is advertising 'skinniness' and diet products.…

Woohoo! This week's check-in: Current weight: 135.4 Pounds lost since last week: 1.6 Question of the week: Are you tracking inches too? Yes. I measure myself once a week. It's been a while since I lost some major inches but I hope to change that in the next few weeks!

HAHA Oh Anjy...

I tried to translate it as close as to the way she said it because it was so choppy and my Chinese is really not as good as before...but when it's in Chinese, it reads even more like some young girl rant and this 'girl' is in her 30s!

I was absolutely gobsmacked when I read it. I just cannot believe she is a celebrity and a spokesperson for some diet program!! I was so livid!

I failed to check in last week so catching up! Last week I was down to 136.6, overall I lost 2lbs the last 30 days. Honestly, I'm not pleased but I have no one to blame but myself. I've become complacent with my workout and I just need to get back on it again. This week I lost a lb and a bit, definitely happy! I'm going on…

I'm a few days late but can I join? I really need to have something to keep me going... username: Petithamu first name: Tiffany Height: 5'2 Starting Weight: 159.9 Goal Weight: 128 (115 is the end goal but I'll be happy to be 128 by July 4...) What am I doing: Spin class 2x/wk, yoga at least 1x a week and am contemplating…

You look amazing!!!

If you're happy with at home DVDs, check out Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zone. The whole hour is dedicated to toning. You'll get some really nice definitions in your shoulders and arms if you keep it up. =)

Believe it or not, she did! She called me bright and early on both Xmas and NYE just to tell me she thought I was too fat for any man!

Yeah, me too =)

Hi there, 30 Day Shred is a Jillian Michaels DVD, you know, that mean trainer from The Biggest Loser? The workout consisted of 3 levels and you do 10 days per level and move up as you go. Each session is approximately 28 - 30 minutes. It's 3 sets of circuits per session and it gets harder as you go up a level. All you need…

God, what is up with mothers, right? I really hope when I become a mother, I will not be as critical to my kids as my mom...and thank you! I've added you as a friend since we have similar goals!

I'm 5'2 and I started at 160lb. It took about 10lbs for me to see any difference. I took photos every 30 days and I took measurements as well. When you don't have massive weight to lose (like 50+), I think it's harder to really 'see' the difference so we have to use other methods to motivate us cuz we all know how the…

You would think, right? Nope. She said and I quote: 'That's a strange looking dress. It must be a European thing. Doesn't suit Asians very well, don't you think? You look very round. You probably should lose 20 more lbs to pull that off.' Yup! Thanks mom...

I totally needed this...I have been feeling quite unmotivated and to the point where I'm ready to give up... Thank you guys!

Thank you guys!!

My grandmother.... 'You're never going to get married cuz no boys like a chubby girl. That's why you're single, isn't it?' I didn't have the heart to tell her my boyfriend is Black...but probably should've cuz that would've shut her up...

I'm 8lbs away from losing 30lbs and it's taken me just a bit over 4 months. I'm also short and has 'little' to lose...so I'm losing on average (if I'm lucky) 5lbs a month. Really need to change things up though...but I heard losing 1 lb a week is healthy for my size...so...
