Hi from Tipperary! Add me if you like, best of luck!

^^ this. But remember to log the cals!:flowerforyou:

18th. Turning 30. Waaah! :-(

I love traditional Irish names so, Girls: Saoirse. Sadhbh. Boys: Donnacha. Daithi.

Wow, this would make a really amusing animated show, you should look into it!

This. Makes losing weight in general easier and more sustainable.

You have to lower yourself slowly onto the toilet because it hurts so much! You walk like an arthritic 98 year old woman because yesterday was leg day!

Siri is my b*tch.

There's been a 22c levy on plastic bags here in Ireland for the past 5-6 years. You get used to bringing your reusable bags with you to the store pretty quickly so it's only an inconvenience for a while.

About 10 mins

If I'm eating a lasagne I will separate the layers and eat each one before moving onto the next for example I'll eat all the meat sauce then the pasta layers then the top layer. Also if I'm having any 'wet' food such as a sauce or gravy I won't pour it on my dinner I need to have it in a bowl by itself, beans beside toast…

I got NROLFW and a years membership at our local track, also new all weather running gear from my parents, makes a change from all the boxes of chocs and food hampers over the years!

I'm so sorry you are going through this, my youngest sister just came out to us last week and I saw how difficult it was for her even though we all accepted it no questions asked. In her words we are "the most boring family ever" it was the biggest non event ever for her! She had herself all worked up that we were going to…

Perky Angel-pants! Lol, perky is not a word anyone would use to describe me!

Yes how accurate they are when applied to every single person is just phenomenal!

@nearptr When we were taught about basic nutrition and the dreaded food pyramid in school it always listed potatoes etc to be eaten as a source of carbohydrates, then to eat other vegetables to reach your target. I never said they weren't vegetables at all. But that's here in Ireland so maybe food pyramids etc differ…

Potatoes don't count towards your five a day, they are counted towards your starches/carbohydrates. Not sure about sweet potatoes though, so someone who knows more than I do can let me know.

Hey, feel free to add me!

This. Also I wanna be a MILF!

I am truly sorry for your loss. :flowerforyou:

Yeah BMI sucks @ss, I'm aiming to reduce my body fat by 10%-12% rather than focus on the scale or BMI.

Coffee, nose, screen!!!

This * 10

I'm taking Dianette and I notice one week to ten days before my week off the scale can go up as much as 3lbs, I stopped weighing weekly as I was getting so disheartened so now I weigh a few days after I'm back on my pill after the 7 day break and I'm always down.

"You shouldn't start lifting weights you'll get all muscly and weird looking just stay at your running." Yeah how about you STFU?!!

You don't HAVE to exercise to lose weight, a calorie deficit will accomplish this. However no advice or suggestions that anyone can give you will make you want to eat right or exercise, that comes from you and when you want it enough you'll be able to do it.

I really hope your taking raspberry ketones too. No diet is sufficent without them, Dr. Oz says so.

Myth: women who lift heavy look like muscly freaks. Fact: women who lift heavy usually look freakin awesome.

Loving these pics!
