Hey Im interest to hear answers too - my wedding is in may and i am also wearing a strapless dress. Could do with a little more toning! :-)

Iv been with my fiance 8 half years and we are getting married in May :-) This was a fun and interesting read!!

Hey I got a Sigma PC15 for christmas, it comes with a chest strap and I think its a great tool to have! Its ecg accurate (which is good enough for me!) and has a good lot of features including a calorie counter. I would recomend it :-) Hope you dinf something you like :-) PS, the chest strap is comfortale to wear - which…

hey, Instead for saying you logging backwards - I would say yor forward planning! I personally try to do that as much as a can (usually mon-fra, weekends a bit hit and miss!) but it works for me. If that works well for you, stick with it :-) x

Hey jenbusick I havn't read any posts about that I must admit - so I shall hunt them down and give them a read. I didn't know the closer you got the easier your body could go into starvation mode. It certainly sounds worth giving a read about! I will certainly give that a try, though to be honest, I have been a bit more…

Your comment was lovely jadesign, it just feels weird to me that someone would be envious of me... You can achieve your goals, believe me you will! :-) Shall i tell you what, before I joined here (which was only a few months ago!) the only thing I changed really, was such small things, like swap my afternoon choc snack to…

hi karleyyy A bit ike you, i want to get to te point that when people sat to me 'you look good' - i believe it! I am getting married in May so for me, that really helped me focus, however I wont stop mfp after - Im in this for the long term. I want to lose weight to be healthy and look better, and to be to improve my…

i have always wondered what it meant - and iv been on here since august haha!

madness!

I get this too so its nice in a way knowing i am not alone! pins n needle feeling isnt fun when trying to work out haha

hy katielou I am in the same boat! I also started on here in August and was going really well up until mid dec when my gym closed for 3 weeks which realy threw me! I have been trying to watch what I eat more so since then, but find myself munching on sweets etc here and there, and my gym routine is only just about back to…

fantastic work :-) you look amazing and so beautiful in your wedding dress! x

hi Even when you track your exercise, mfp still keeps your 500cal deficate - if your set to lose 1lb per week for example. You should aim to eat bck at least halk your exercise calories - hopt this helps x

Hi I have just got my first HMR and there are soo many out there isn't there! I know everyone on here loves polars, but to be honest, I dont havethe money - I got a sigma pc15 and am not disapointed - its great for the money too. It cost around £40 and has great features in my opinion... It comes with a cheast strap and…

That s terrible and m sorry you had such a bad experience... the guy sounds terrible - of course classes will help you lose weight - it's exercise! Do what is best for you - whether it be workng out a home or trying a gym /dfferent guy. Like you, it tok me a lot of courage to jon the gym, but I was lucky, there was no…

An interesting and enjoyabble ready I found!

Hey That's a very open question there! I would personally for starters, narrow it down into categories, then, since your wanting to do a website, do some research and find out which topic is most popular / successful. Do you have experience in wed design / copywriting etc? I studied graphic design and now work as a…

Thank you so much for your replies everyone :flowerforyou: it means a lot hearing from others too! I do need to get back in usual gym routine, I usually got 4 times a week and I do think the fact I havnt been in a while is probably making me feel btit worse! So gym is the first thing to get back on track with :-) Sorry,…

Hi It is mindbogglin isnt it! Ive just got a sigma pc15 - so far no complaints at all and it has a good lota features for the money xx

Hi I just got a Sigma PC15 and so far a I am please with it - and it's had good reviews too. In my opinion its a good choice if you don't have lots to spend; its ECG accurate, has a chest strap and lotsa features :-)

you look fantastic! well done :flowerforyou:

Hey Karleyyy and alyssa83202 I'm hoping maybe I can help... Your eating 1200 calories a day - if your goal is to lose say 1lb per week - that is a 500 calorie defecit a day (7 x 500 = 3,500 which equates to 1lb) which MFP ALREADY takes into account. The 1,200 is the number of calories to eat with the deficit already in…

Hey sapphirelazuli I'm in Central Scotland too :-) We sounds similar I have to say - been overweight blah blah - now we ARE doing this for real!!!

Hi Katmil This site is great isn't it - like you, I stumbled upon it too! Its funny you mention gettin 'hooked' on this site, I feel like I am sometimes haha, but at least its towards a positive cause!! Well done on your weightlos and being a dress size smaller! :-) I know what you mean, my name's Penny and I used to be a…

I find it hard i have discovered to stay within my 1270cals when havin done no exercise... anyone else has this problem? I know the answer…

Hey sheepdpglady Nice to meet u, I dont usually tend to start threads (or ones that end up kinda popular haha) but its lovely meeting people on here :-) nice to have a UK bunch to talk to :bigsmile: Well done on your weight loss, even if its not the main focus for you! pen x

Hi xmaxine89 :-) Of course you can join - welcome! Great dedication so far and good one for learning more about about the importance of body fat and strength training - that is one area I dont know so much.. They say the last 10lb or so is the hardest / slowest - better to be slow and steady with the loss though isnt it…

soz about the tripple post there!
