Hi all, sending you FR now :)

Hi all! Sending you friend requests now :)

Feel free to add me also!

Hi all! Starting at 220 and the goal is to be much lower than that ;) please feel free to add me!

Hi mate, type 1 of 25 years here. You should be SUPER CAREFUL with all alcohols if you are a T1. Most largers and ales contain carbohydrates which as you know, affect blood sugar. The real problems come in a few hours after you drink the alcohol as it will actually lower your blood sugar whilst you sleep! I have had many…

I am trying to build up my resistance. Realised the early programme isn't enough so am doing 5min warm up then three mins running at 8.5km/h then 6km/h rest for three minutes 5 times a piece. Legs are feeling it but it feels good!

Hey there! Sounds good! I am back on the running side of things as of last week! I realised my running ability had taken a serious hit so would welcome the company!

Hi everyone! Little about me, 28 year old guy based in the UK. Am trying this AGAIN (this has been a six year struggle) but am really feeling good about this approach! I have been doing this for just over a month now and am *shock horror* actually enjoying it! I would love to find more like minded people to share the…

Hi guys adding you all! :)

Hi guys, I am a lapsed gamer (damn life commitments and whatnot) BUT feel free to add me on MFP :)

Yup, as someone who suffers from type 1 diabetes it is rather funny when I meet people who tell me I have to switch to a low carb diet. I try explaining to them, its not that type of diabetes..but you are drowned out by a sea of people who know your condition and dieting habits better than you do! At the end of the day it…

The people in the comment section below the article are going rather crazy at this. Personally its both. I have found getting my diet in order has helped me tremendously and now I am on a more sustainable path the exercise will help to further enhance the weight loss and help me to look better once I get down to a more…

Hi guys! I have about 40-50 to lose so feel free to add me! :)

Hi, can you clarify this? at the moment I have a rather huge deficit (1,000 a day) then add to that about 3-400 calories for the walking I do. Why would not eating these calories contribute to a longer weight loss time?

I have been a type 1 diabetic for 23 years and my weight ballooned when I left for university. I didn't take care of my condition and as a consequence I became rather heavy. I went on a course to get better control for my diabetes last year and it finally made me take responsibility for my condition and realise that it…

Hi there and welcome! I have sent you a request :)

Wait.... it's suppose to help with weight loss?!? I eat two or three a day because I have a rather unhealthy obsession with them! Being a diabetic they are fantastic, they have a really low GI and taste awesome!

Hi there, I have had some problems with the levels of calories burned through the fitbit. It turned out that it was down to the BMR settings you use on MFP. I had it set to sedentary and it told me I was burning thousands of calories! I would check to see what yours is set at. Also, always wait till the end of the day as…

So this past Saturday I met someone for coffee. This coffee ended up being several glasses of wine, several shots of jack daniels as well as Thai food! Although it was a rather huge blowout it was good as it is the first time I have had experience logging alcohol and understanding the calorific content. I shall be much…

Hey feel free to add me, Good luck, we can do this! :)

Full time England fan... ;)

Well done, keep it up! :)

The sad thing is with this advice is the OP will probably ignore everyone who said this is unrealistic and jump at the one person confirming she can do it :(

Hi there! I have about 60 to lose to get to my optimal, feel free to add me! :)
