Hello to you too, I'm in sunny Bedford (well it was one day last week). Good luck with your journey!
-
Check you out! You've lost so much the pictures don't need to be so big :smile: . Well done :flowerforyou:
-
1. Lose 8-10 pounds (or more) 2. No chocolate 3. Work out what all those buttons in the car do... one of them must be an ejector seat :devil:
-
They are pretty lush but you have to be careful as some things (i.e nuts) can be REALLY high in calories! I ended up giving all my nut-related snacks to my parents, kind of help the aged arrangement :happy:
-
I live in Bedford, near Milton Keynes (almost nobody knows where Bedford is!) Good luck with your weight loss!

Usually by the time we work out how to deal with the snow.. it's gone. This year cos its been going on for 3 weeks (ish) no-one's got a clue! The Americans would be outside shovelling - the Brits sit inside and wait for it to melt :laugh:
-
I didnt know there was a size 7! But well done :)

You could also have Fat Man by Mammoth. Or Big Fat Mama - Status Quo, Cardiac Arrest - Madness or plain old Heart Attack by Olivia Newton-John! Or Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls. Best one for me would be Fattie Bum Bum by Carl Malcolm from about 1975-ish which a girl at school used to sing at me every time I saw her, possibly…

Good luck with your loss, Ive been using this site for 3 months or so and I've found it very helpful! Feel free to add me if you wish, I'm usually on every day for various lengths of time :)

I have some days when I can't get to my PC to log but even then I write stuff down, on my phone or in a diary or something. Mainly because it helps me stay on track. Maybe in a few months I will feel ready to move away from keeping a log, but I didn't keep one for 47 years which is how I ended up 5 stone overweight! Plus…

Remember that in general cats will climb and scratch pretty much anything so especially a decent scratch post or some old carpet, and beware of your christmas tree, my cat never has been brave enough to climb up but they can go for the lower branches, oh and also don't put any chocolate decorations on lower branches as…

I lost nothing/or gained for a few weeks when I started, then something kicked in and it all started pretty much from there. I didn't really change a great deal, just persevered with doing the "right things", just keep going cos even if you're not losing at the moment you must be getting fitter thru all the exercise!…
-
Well done, I know exactly how you feel, I finally dropped into the "overweight" category a couple of weeks ago after, oh I don't know how long swinging between "obese" and "morbidly". Good luck with the rest of your quest!:wink:
-
Welcome, enjoy and best of luck! :)

Someone once told me I looked like George Michael, I'm not so sure I really want to go there at the moment, :noway: ,,, George Clooney will do for me, so to speak! :wink:

Being non-American I can honestly say I have never heard of half of these foods! I thought someone was making them up... I still got 7/10 though :)
-
You're doing great, keep it going and never lose sight of your target! :)
-
Good luck with your mission! As previously said 10lbs a month will be a big ask but then I thought that too and I've pretty consistently lost 2-3 lbs a week for the last 5-6 weeks. Just takes motivation, exercise and sticking to a plan! Feel free to add me if you wanna :)

According to my PT part of the reason for the back problem - I'm assuming it's same place as mine hurts, i.e just above the bum - is that by doing all this exercise your core is not "up to it" and you need to do things like pilates/yoga type exercises to strengthen it. My own problem is not actually the "back" but the…

Hi fellow UK people Hope its OK to tag along for August.... I started on MFP start of July at 17 stone 11, at weigh in this morning I was 16 st 10. I'm aiming for about 14 1/2 stone which I haven't been since.. actually I can't ever remember being 14 stone anything! My lightest recorded was 16 1/2 stone a couple of years…

I try and switch my routine frequently, I don't do treadmill now at all (that's just me though), I do ellip, bike, some weight machine stuff, and quite a few classes i.e Pump, Spin, Aerobics-type, Combat, Circuits and recently quite a lot of swimming, mainly cos I had a hamstring injury and couldn't do a lot of…

Hope it all goes well for you. Yes you do have to make it a lifestyle change, something I tried (and failed) before, its a combination of many things but naturally food education is the most important, you shouldn't be afraid to let go - once in a while - its the "once in a while" that's the problem. I'm sure you'll work…

Welcome to the free world, feel free to add me :) Good luck too!

I did all that weigh in every day stuff for a while and it does mess you up because there are so many factors that can affect it. Now I generally weigh in once a week, wearing the same clothes (well not EXACTLY the same ones-but you know what I mean) and most importantly at the same time, or as close as possible (with me…

You should maybe try at least talking to a Personal Trainer, I know that the first thing people think is the financial aspect but they are there to motivate, tell them what you like and what you don't and see what they recommend for you, you don't have to take them on or commit to sessions with them. Personally there are…

Any time I feel like a McD's I watch Supersize Me on DVD - puts me off every time! Seriously if you have never seen the film then buy/rent it, if shoudl at least motivate you to reduce intake...

There is no cure for the flu except rest and drinking water. On the bright side not eating anything will help you lose weight for sure :) Get well soon!
-
Oi don't knock the Brits! Or English actually... welcome and good luck :)

I dont mind anything except running, especially on a treadmill. Bores me senseless!! Running for a purpose i.e when playing squash is OK, otherwise no thanks :)!
