  • Hi Brandon. I agree, it's about so many things besides looks. It's got to be about health and wellness :) Good luck on your journey.
  • Turbo Fire 55 - I've just finished and I really went for it. It shows as my HRM says I burned 1001 calories :)
  • Hi Ladies, I'm going to add you both if that's cool? I have about 80lbs to lose (down to 65 since January :) )
  • Feel free to add me. I have about 80lbs to lose but am already 15 down :)
  • Ok then, I will ;)

  • I don't pretend to be an expert but I would say three things to consider: 1. Are you still logging/weighing everything? A lot of time after a while you get into habits and assume you can eyeball sizes etc and you may be right but if you aren't being as conscientious as you were at the beginning, this could be causing…
  • I hit my 50 day mark this morning and am only just thinking about how cool that is now! I'm definitely serious so I'm going to send a few friend invites out to you lovely people on this thread ;)
  • FKAH - Thank you! This time was the first time ever that I even considered not eating but I knew it was bad for me so I had leftover home made soup :) Janjan - Thank you, I hope so! Delilah - Don't feel stupid! It stands for Non Scale Victory Tangie - Thank you as well, your post made me smile :)
  • Thanks folks! I feel quite pleased with myself. The only real bummer is I had diet soda for the first time in 6 months but I can soon fix that :)
  • I do a menu for the week and buy my shopping according to that. I will swap days around or sometimes improvise if I can't be bothered to cook but mostly this helps me not to waste money and stick to my calories. Plus I always try to make 2 extra portions as most recipes are for 4 and then me and my OH have lunch for the…
  • I would like to lose 8lbs in February to keep me on track with my 2lb a week plan :)
  • Lyndsey - We certainly sound similar, at least up until the 5 children part - woah! You sound like a strong strong woman, what with adding full time work AND studying to the mix. I have no doubt that you will do this. I'm going to add you if that is ok? I would love to see you succeed. As for exercise, maybe start with…
  • 1969 - Hell yeah! Lindsay - It's on the 21st. It might be attainable but I don't want to be under too much pressure. As long as I look good for the wedding, I'll be very happy!
  • HappyMouse - I hear you about keeping busy. I am so bad with boredom eating. I am gonna start with adding in extra exercise of an evening to keep me occupied :) Nu2012 - Damn Skippy, the year of change indeed! The 2lb isn't set in stone but it's helping me stay on track during these early days by looking forward and…
  • Wow mcldk that's pretty inspiring! Would it be ok to add you? Seeing how you are doing down the line from me would be really helpful.
  • Thanks JLD! I am measuring as well so I know that even though I didn't lose weight last week, I lost 1.5 inches (1 off my waist, 0.5 off my hips). I tend to find I stall for a bit when I first start going for it on my exercise so measuring really helps to know I'm progressing when the scale is being stubborn. I have a load…
  • Thanks Saahild. I want to do it but doubt myself and my abilities. I feel so much more sure of myself this time than I have in the past though. Maybe I won't wobble this time but if I do, hopefully having the support on MFP will be enough.
  • Thanks Mummy Kate, I've added you. Also that is the cutest picture ever! I try to look at the smaller picture but I have a devil on my shoulder who constantly tells me how far I have to go. Instead what I have done is plotted out the weight loss according to my 2lb a week plan and stuck it into my diary so I can look ahead…
  • Thank you. I worry about aiming for July as I am trying to break my all or nothing mentality. I think if I aim to look smoking hot by the wedding in October I give myself time and relieve some of the pressure but I'm gonna go for it and if I get there by July I'll be ridiculously proud of myself.
  • I'm in Birmingham. I have about 75lbs to lose. Feel free to add me.
  • You can do it! Thanks for the add. I've made my food diary viewable to friends for that reason too. Plus I'm nosy and love looking at other peoples diary's - feel a bit of a hypocrite if I don't share back :)
  • It's tough when you lose slowly and you are working your butt off to shift it! I lost weight quickly a few years ago and it came off quickly and lo and behold, it all came back and more. I'm trying to just be patient and diligent this time and be happy with 1lb a week. I do agree with the consensus of replies though, that…
