excellent idea for motivation! I have to admit I have been slacking off from the gym, off there today tho so I am def going to be using this tip, love looking at my shiney diamonds all the time anyway! :happy:

Hi there, I'm Alice. I'm 30 years old! Have been on mfp since March last year, still got a long way to go, but after a bit of a blip at the end of last year I am making a new start. I like eating normal food (no faddy diet rubbish!) and working out at the gym while trying to keep inline with my mfp daily goals. So far…

Hi, I'm hopefully a 2014 bride too - though at the moment haven't decided on ANYTHING! We got engaged on 7th December 2012, and so far all I know is we both want to get married abroad. Looks like it will be 2014 at the earliest as we both want to get in shape and we also have to save for our wedding fund! Anyone feel free…

Hi there, I'm based in Manchester, feel free to add me too!

Feel free to add me, I'm always looking for new friends for mutual encouragement! :flowerforyou: I'm 5 ft 8 in and over 200lbs (quite a bit over) so I have a long journey to go. I eat normal food (not scary diet stuff or tasteless rubbish) and I just try to keep my calories in line. I try to workout in the gym a few times…

I guess I'm a bit of a geek. I'm a massive Buffy fan (still!) and Star Trek, Firefly, Fringe, Grimm, or pretty much anything with vampires, witches or werewolves in (however terrible it is). For books I love Hitchhikers Guide (the first is my go to book), anything by Terry Pratchett, love HP (was so excited when I got to…

Glad, to know its not just me - I actually did start trying to work out if my mobile was broken and then had to log onto the PC to check! What shall I do without thee newsfeed?! :frown: Oh well, today was my weigh day anyway and was a total disappointment to myself through complete lack of commitment this week! :ohwell: At…

Hey there, this site is brilliant and so helpful and encouraging. Feel free to add me if you're still looking for some friends! :happy:

North West England. Is great to see so many people from all over the world on here!

I have been looking into getting a Fitbit too. I've just read so much good about them and it feels like the sort of thing I would just completely love. Trying desperately to convince my boyfriend that I do NEED one or otherwise convince one of my family to get me one for my birthday which isn't too far off (my 30th…

Hi, Feel free to add me if you want, I'm in the UK too - North West and can always do with some more UK friends. :smile:

Good luck! My 30th Birthday is in 33 days and I am desperate to lose some more weight. Would love to lose 15.5lbs - as that would take me to 2 stones lost, but think thats probably a bit too much of a stretch now :noway: - aiming for at least 7 though and would be happy with 8.5!:happy: Hope you reach your goal. It's mad…

I've been wondering what Fitbit is for a while. After reading this, I looked it up and based on the advert and all the feedback on here... I WANT ONE! Have added it to my wishlist in the hope that I get one for my 30th birthday, looks like just the kind of thing I need to motivate me.

Start weight: 276.5 Goal weight loss - 4%: 11lb After Wk 1: 273 After Wk 2: 271 Total loss: 5.5lb down! Half way there! Really hope that now I'm pretty much over my cold, I'm going to get back to the gym this week too. Just keep swimming!

Start weight: 276.5 Goal weight loss - 4%: 11lb Wk 1: 273 Total loss: 3.5lb down! On track for my first week so far (despite some naughty slips for Easter). Another 7.5 to go over the next three weeks. Will probably start weighing in on Saturdays from now in though as that's my preferred weigh in morning. I can do this!

My goal is also over 100lbs. Well, actually I want to lose half my body weight! to get to my perfect weight, it definitely feels quite daunting:noway: but I'm loving the site so far and getting support really feels like the way to go!:flowerforyou: Feel free to add me

sounds good, might give this a try thanks :flowerforyou:

I did yesterday. I have been realy unwell with a chest infection after a nasty cold so was pretty much feeling sorry for myself :sick: The kitchen was a complete tip as I had not done any housework for close to a week, so I surrendered to my boyfriends request for takeout and we ordered far too much pizza for two people to…

Yeah, I too have a selection of clothes I just can bare to get rid of and have kept for years "until I lose enough weight".:blushing: They currently take up one of the storage drawers under my bed and I have to guiltily admit that I have slowly been adding to the collection for years as I have gotten bigger and bigger. I…

wow, Wow, WOW! so completely inspirational, I love it! :happy:

thanks, that looks like a great site. already spotted a couple of recipes I can take ideas from.

I'm in for this challenge, which will be my first but I think the motivation is just what I need. My 4% goal will be just over 11 pounds, So got a lot of work to do for April, but it will be totally worth it!

Hi, I'm from UK too, Manchester. Loving the site so far, really helpful!

I'll be 30 in June, which is really one of the reasons I joined, determined to get my life on track (or at least start to!) before then. Feels like a massive force in my life at the moment, the ever looming three zero!
