This sounds lovely. Will try with stir fry veg I think!

wow some of these ideas are great, thanks everyone for your input. Going to write these all down and have some fun cooking new dishes over the next few weeks :)

I'm 21. Joined MFP a while ago but only have really been keeping a track for the past few months and tracking everything. Have over 20lbs to lose so group motivation would be great :) Anyone feel free to add me!

I'd be happy to join you all! My goal loss is about 24 pounds, any loss by May would be a huge boost !

Sounds tasty, thanks for all the advice!

Sounds tasty and good on calories also. Do you just eat this on its own or with potatoes etc?

This sounds like a really tasty idea - will definately try this out!

Thanks, that looks yummy will try it out!

Would love to get involved in this. If I lose 20 pounds by summer id be thrilled - can wear those shorts without cringing when I walk haha! Add me please :)

I have been similar in means of cant exercise as much, hurt my ankle and have severe stomach pains. Going for a swim always helps though try that - and remember its 80% diet , 20% exercise so if you eat well you should still lose the weight!

I'm also 5 10" and completely agree - its not just you! Weight loss seems to take much longer to show on me than my friends who are smaller. Don't let it dishearten you though!! I find people have only commented if my face looks slimmer etc. Just part of being a tall girl im afraid - but we should be proud of our height!

After reading this I am considering gettting on the 30DS bandwagon. Will be buying this on payday and starting the week after I think!

I am also been looking / sending requests. It is so much better to have more people to share the ups and downs of weightloss with. Spurs on some extra motivation also!

Thanks for posting this! Actually felt like there was someone in front of me saying this and giving me the kick I may need while reading. Want to say my 'feel sorry for self' state is no more for now.....might need to re-read this in a week though!

Congrats on loss! Everyone is different and same diet/exercise plans don't nessesarily work across the board. I myself am really just starting to get into the weight loss and find my motivation and what works for me. Thank you for sharing this post.....definately a few points I have picked out that I will try and adopt for…

I'm the same - it will be water weight. If you are focusing on weight then maybe change your way in day? I was weighing myself on a monday but if i was drinking or out at the weekend on a splurge felt rubbish when saw no movement on scales. By changing to the end of the week when I have been good again and weight more…

My too! Add if you'd like. Also find that if I see others have had a good diet/exercise day I feel more motivated to continue with mine (partly because I'll end up too embarassed to post a bad day diary!!)

Thanks guys, both seems like really good advice. Suppose I just need to look more positively at the situation. Think I just feel awful after eating bad as always feel too full and slugish for days after eating unhealthy, and most of the time I probably am not even hungry when I eat the rubbish, seems to make me get stuck…

I have this almost every week on weight in. Remained the same weight one week I thought I had done amazingly well, but my measurements had gone down....good to keep a track of those alongside weighing. I'm always told "inches first, weight after". Just need to keep motivated :)
