More greetings from Co Kildare!

Yes, my plan is to take photos every 5 weeks! I lost my first 2 lbs this week and plan to log the journey ongoingly :)
-
Apparently not :)
-
I have played guitar for a good few years and sing. I've done a good few gigs and played in a band for a while too!

Hear hear!

I think 'healthy' means something different for everyone in terms of their appearance! I was clapped on the back for my weight loss a few years back but I had only lost it due to stress, other women lose it due to eating disorders. The truth is, I have been at my healthiest in terms of emotional and mental health when I…

A holiday in the sun this time next year! I have planned several different rewards for each goal reached :)

In Ireland, people have this strange begrudging thing where they don't want to give celebs a big ego and so they pretend to be all cool around them :) I've met Bono's wife Ali, Will Smith at the Cannes Film Festival, Michael Stipe from REM in Nice just walking through the street, had dinner beside Brigiette Nielsen;…

I'm having people over for dinner tonight so I'm making roast chicken, roast potatoes, chicken gravy, stuffing, cauliflower cheese, and steamed broccoli. With lots of red wine!

I find muscles a turn off. I like slim yet cuddly guys! Perhaps that just isn't a physical thing though; often muscly guys are also a bit full of themselves and I like a down to earth guy! Thankfully, both these descriptions describe my husband :)

Go for it! Just try keep within the Fat limits but if you're under your calorie limit, you're fine! That's the bonus of this site. If you go for a nice walk, you might be able to have a glass of wine!
-
ha!
-
I know exactly what you mean! I don't really like any comments about my weight at all, I find it really uncomfortable to think that people are even watching my weight, you know? Like, it's great to be told 'you look nice' but when people say 'you look great, have you lost weight?' I feel mortified! I have only been on this…

Meerkat70, I am the same. The more water I drink, the more I notice my thirst. I was warned by the doctor of overhydration which dilutes your pee (your pee should be a light yellow and not see-through like mine!) and your liver/kidney functions. The whole 8 glasses of water isn't the way to go - you should drink water if…

Good luck you guys! Add me if you like - I'm also a recent started and an MFP addict! Deborah from Ireland
-
toasted pitta, tuna, low fat mayo, red onion, tomatoes and some low fat mature cheddar cheese. Was nice and pretty filling!
-
I'm thinking from small to bigger rewards like a pedicure, a new handbag, a visit to the cinema, a weekend away and those kinds of things! BUt that's all a while off for me yet :)
-
Wow I'm surprised at the harshness of some of the replies - no need to take it personally is there? I don't know MFP well at all but I have only experience positivity so far so I have found this a bit surprising! I'd say give it time, get involved with message boards and giving (encouraging) feedback and you'll be on your…

I have tried both and find Low Fat to be more realistic and less anti-social. On reading Low Carb diets they make it sound like it is easy to avoid carbs but there are carbs in everything so if you go to a friend's house and they serve lasagne, you're supposed to pick at the meat and leave the pasta to the side? I dunno,…

What gee3675 said! I'm in the same boat having started yesterday but I'm liking it so far. Just hope I don't get too addicted and can actually get some work done! And: well done you. I'm with you on the enthusiasm front, I just hope it lasts :)
-
I'm saving some calories to 'waste' for a dinner party tonight - am gonna eat gravy, roast potatoes and drink red wine!
-
Dublin, Ireland!
-
That's great, well done!
-
Everyone's welcome to add me!

add me :)
-
Hey and welcome! I'll be your friend :) You can do this. Deborah
-
Welcome! Yes, you should only aim to lose 1-1.5 lbs maximum a week. So you could try and lose 15-20 lbs before your trip and will no doubt look amazing! I just joined yesterday and also feeling ready :) Feel free to add me. Deborah

Welcome! Feel free to add me :)
