I'm trying to give up my coffee and toast breakfasts at mylocal Starbucks.......I wish they would close the shop!!! It is so tempting when I am out for my morning walks :D :D

Hi from South Yorkshire, used to run in my younger days and remember the feeling well. My greatest feeling of achievement was when I ran my first half Marathon.......those were the days but it was a long time ago.

It surely is, and the friends you make on your journey will soon become friends for life. I was a yo-yo dieter until I found MFP and managed to lose 41 lbs. Got to admit I have gained a few lbs back but still weigh much less than I used to. Welcome

Hi Tiffany. It is a lot easier with a good group of supportive friends. I'll send you a request :)

Hi there, welcome back. Here's hoping you will have your operation soon and congratulations on quitting smoking :) .

Build up a group of supportive friends to encourage each other.

Ha ha - like your style - this is me - take me as I am or go away. sending a friend request to a like minded person.

Hi. You've done the right thing, this is site is wonderful for just what you are wanting to do. Sit quietly and work your way through the app and then I would advise you to make/request friends on here who can help, support and guide you. Logging seems a bit laborious at first but you soon build up your favourites and it…

Hi Jason, it's so hard isn't it. I also struggled for years with the yo-yo dieting and a wardrobe full of clothes stretching across 5 or 6 sizes. My life changed the day I found MFP by accident and realised I just needed to be honest with myself, ensure I logged anything I ate or drank (being truthful about the portion…

I'm with you MissTracy, I love my MFP pals and have made some really good friends from all over the world and have actually travelled to meet some face to face, had a wonderful weekend in Durham when 6 of us who had never met before all met up, great memories and totally off diet!!! But I totally respect it if someone does…

Hi there, I've been on MFP almost 5 years and know it is the only way that works for me. I'm 64 and from the UK. I'll send you a request Linda

Oh dear - I feel your pain. I am 64 and lost 41lb 3 years ago, I have regained half of that and I am just in the process of getting it off again (lost 4lb last week). I also threw all my fat clothes away but got to say I'm glad I did as the motivation for me to get the fat off was I got fed up of wearing the same items of…

Click into the "quote" button at the bottom of their post and this will take you to a new comment box with their quote already highlighted in your comment box. Happy journey Linda

If you tap into the person's user name you get the send message or ignore but if you tap into the username again you get the 'add as friend' option.

Hi. Request sent to you x

That sounds like advice I should be listening to.....i'm also struggling to get back into good practice at the moment. Why is it that we know it is good for us and the best way forward and we still don't do it???? Friend request on its way to you.

Hi there Chris and welcome to MFP. This is a fantastic support community and somewhere to go to when you're looking for hints, tips and advice from like minded people. I hope your journey with mfp is a good one and your plan helps to reduce your pain. :)

Hello Paula and well done. We are never too old to learn to love exercise, so much better than all the fad diets. I've been with MFP for 4 years and up until recently managed to keep the 41 lbs off that I had lost.......unfortunately I am now slipping and putting it back on......I need to get my mojo back x x

Welcome and congratulations on the birth of your baby. Notoriously hard to get rid of the baby weight. Good luck to you. You have made the right choice by joining MFP for support.

Make yourself loads of friends on here to give and receive support. Worked for me. Good luck

Smaller meal with a nice small sweet treat for afters......perfect x

You may need to have more formal tests to ensure you do not have some sort of an intolerance to certain foods. Better safe than sorry. Good luck

Ooops - me again - sorry, I looked at the wrong profile pic, I looked at the poster below your original post. Sorry for the confusion.

Perhaps your body thinks it has lost enough - by looking at your profile picture you look pretty good and have lost a significant amount of body weight. I know you can't judge by looking at one photo but perhaps you just need to accept what your body is telling you and start working on maintenance.........which I have…

You need to make your self 'busy' during that hours you would normally be a work to maintain a proper lifestyle. Join any groups that are free (I understand money could be tight if you are not in work), do voluntary work or help out in a charity shop (and grab some bargains), be a helper at the hospital.....loads of…

This sounds like me.........I have been here for 4 years this week and love my group of MFPals. I slipped towards the end of last year and with a Spanish holiday and Xmas I now have 10 lbs to lose.......I will do it with the support of my pals. Good luck to you

Hi there fat-dad.....meet the ex-fat-granny.....I am living proof you can do this. I have been on this journey for 4 years, I lost 41 lbs in the first year which was way beyond my target. I have gained some since then but with the help of my pals on here I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and I am comfortable with my…

Well done to you, it is really cheering to hear from people who are doing well. :)

Ha ha.......had to laugh at this. I had some favourite jeans that I constantly wore and then they became too small but I couldn't part with them. After a few months on MFP I was back in those jeans and the happiest girl in the world. I claimed it as a NSV and all my pals were happy for me........then.......they became MUCH…

Hi Cybertone. Will try that next time I'm on PC. Many thanks for the info.
