Wow you've worked really hard and really earned it! At 25 years old you look fighting fit and ready to enjoy the rest of your life. Keep it up and keep it off :)

No real advice as I'm not a great runner, but I just want to say it's fantastic that you're taking yourself out of your comfort zone, and doing something positive for charity and for your own fitness. Don't even think about walking as a negative thing - you're doing more than a lot of people ever do in their lives so be…

OK I only just saw this, having not logged in for about a month. I was doing great on MFP until my family life changed (we had 4 more family members move into my house, long story, but theirs was repossessed). Since then, obviously I've been pretty busy, but that's no excuse! I think my situation makes me a Mum who needs…

Weight as of 6.30am today 141.46 lbs (64.3 kilos) no change from last week. Keep going everyone....

I really believe almost any breed of dog can be a great pet if you make sure you buy a dog of the right temperament, and don't be lax with training in the early years. A good breeder should temperament test their dogs at a certain point (7 weeks old?). We bought our American Bulldog (10 years ago) from the best UK breeder…

141.46 lbs as of 6.30 am. Not much of a loss I'm afraid - but a loss all the same I suppose. 0.1 kilos to be precise! Keep going everyone :)

Summer holidays right now and looking after my children all day so can't get out for a run or anything like that. When they're at school I try to run on my local beach and woods, which of course, is way nicer. Obviously I still go out for walks with the kids and dogs but it's not exactly a major calorie burner. I lived in…

Can be pretty lazy about getting round to it, but I love the feeling immediately after I've finished, and it lasts the rest of the day. I prefer to exercise outdoors to a gym though. If weather is bad or I can't get out because if the kids, I get on the bike which I have attached to a realtour and I will watch a something…

I'm not keen on dairy either - which his a shame as I know a lot of people on here swear by fat free or low fat greek yoghurt. I have been eating way more meat since I've been on here - just to try to up my protein intake. I bought some whey protein shake powder. I have to tell you, being someone who absolutely hates milk,…

My weight as of 6.30 am is 64.4 kilos 142 lbs. Neck: 13.4 ins Thighs: L-22.4 R-22.8 Arms: L-10.6 R-11.2 Waist (at navel) 34.2 Hips (at widest part) 39.4 I'm so glad of this challenge as the summer with kids off school and lots of socialising has made this a lot harder than before. I am so pleased I have the accountability…

Over a week I usually average out at eating about 2/3 of exercise cals back. I hardly every do on the same day I exercise though. It takes my appetite a while to catch up. I exercise about 4 times a week. I never eat low enough claories to be under 1200, because I have a good appetite. I wouldn't forve myself to eat them…

I'm at a similar point to you right now. I'm 165 cm which is I think 5'4.5", and I am currently 64.4 kilos. I am aiming for around 56.5 kilos or thereabouts, depending on lots of other things. (Fitness level and body shape such as waist to hip ratio mainly). Good luck!

I don't know about veteran, but I love spinning! But, I have lived in loads of different places and to be honest the classes really vary a lot according to who your instructor is. I think as you're already fit, and you will just be getting used to the whole routine, it shouldn't take more than 5-6 classes before you're…

I take an iron supplement. It's not an expensive brand, just a once a day iron supplement, nothing else in it. I do eat it with a meal though or it might have some side effects, like nausea, and I eat a lot of fibre in my diet so it doesn't cause constipation. I have to say I never have. Also, your body can absorb the iron…

Ahh the old MIL problem! My MIL loves to cook. Really big, banquet style meals. She has quite old fashioned food tastes (well she is 71 yrs old) and she lives to feed everyone these huge meals of really fattening foods. She only eats a sparrow's portion herself though. She'll sit at the table and take maybe one small…

Well, if you ate a massive sandwich/fries/whatever, chances are you'd be in an even worse mood, and then when you decided to do this again you'd have to go right back to the start. Just weather the storm and look forward to the sunshine and calm waters at the other end (cliche I know).

bump really want to get some ideas from this but need to log off got to go out. :)
-
Just had a look at the link - thanks for sharing that. I cannot believe it! This young woman clearly dedicates so much time and energy to achieving goals most people couldn't even dream of. She's someone to celebrate and support, and I really hope my own kids will see people like that as role models. I wish her and her…

Hi welcome! I'm from Somerset. I joined a few months ago, I'll send you a request. :)

It does sound like maybe a thyroid problem. A friend of mine has had the same trouble, but once she was put on medication for her underactive thyroid, a few weeks later she started watching her calories again and the weight just started dropping off. She was so amazed as she had been struggling with this for years. If not,…

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. I gave up coffee during both of my pregnancies and I really missed it, all I could think about through those final few weeks was how much closer I was getting to a decent cup of espresso. Oh and how it eased my mornings after the sleepless nights with new baby screaming to be…
-
Give up coffee - ARE YOU CRAZY??? No I really don't see why anyone needs to give it up, if they enjoy it. I read posts all the time on here from people who still manage to get their favourite MacDonalds or pizza in once a week, or their chocolate or ice-cream fix in the evening. They work it out so they make room for it in…

My kids are 7 and 4. I've never had a schedule before, but this year I have written a schedule, although I haven't stuck to it religiously. It's just there to make sure when I'm really braindead and frazzled from trying to keep them entertained, I can look at it and it gives me ideas. I've made sure to include something…

I know what you mean I am terrible at working out in the gym. I think it depends what kind of things you like doing in everyday life, for example I can't stand being indoors too long I get restless, and am quite claustrophobic. This is why I hate the gym. I love running with my dogs, and I am trying to work up my cycling…

I try to stick to around 1400 each day, but I pigged out a bit at the end of this week, so I tried to stay under 1200 for the last 2 days. I'm finding it quite easy to stick to 1400 and be full, and get a full range of foods. When I first started I tried for 1200 and I found it hard ot eat things I liked and stay under.…

This week I am down to 141.5lbs from 143.5 last week. Yay back on track! Well done those of you who have already logged. Keep going everyone - we're getting there...
-
I'm the same as last week (I also posted in week 1 weigh in by mistake). Not great but I'll keep on trying... Great going everyone!

Your neighbour sounds like he has no idea of the usual social boundaries of politeness. He also probably won't recognise polite hints from you such as 'my Dad is almost 55', so I wouldn't waste too much time getting into convo with him. Just find an excuse and be busy each time you bump into him. Seriously, I'm sure it…

My week 2 weigh in as of 6.30 Tuesday 10th July is the same 144.6lbs - no change at all : ( To be fair I wasn't very good on my weekend away. I could have practised a lot more willpower, and this is my body paying me back for it! Next week I will be much better!! Good luck everyone - and keep going!

I don't log mine, because I set myself up as having a moderately active lifestyle when I registered with MFP. If I had set myself up as having a sedentary lifestyle I might log the more strenuous housework. Personally, when I walk the dogs, walk the kids to school and clean up I'm not going at it 100% or working up a sweat…
