Hi there, I'm from the UK & have been on MFP for about 6 weeks. I love the app, the forums and all the great support from my fellow MFPers! I have about 40lbs to lose and the more support the better :-) Add me if you would like some more support buddies :-)

Hi there, Well done for making the first step by logging onto MFP. I'm very sorry to hear about your mum and that your dad is also poorly. I'm sure that does make it very difficult for you to have a moment to yourself, but not impossible :-) Take it one step at a time. Maybe take 10/15 minutes at the start of your day to…

Totally right! Log everything and don't let the odd 'bad' day get you down - we all have them now and again, but stay strong and get right back to it the very next day. Drink plenty of water, especially with your food to help fill you up. Make sure you have a good pair of kitchen scales and weigh everything at the start.…

Hi Angela, Well done on making the first step in logging onto MFP. Try not to compare yourself to your husband, every person is very different. I used to do the same as my husband can also eat for England and not gain a thing, but I have learnt to recognise what my body needs now. I am trying to lose about 42lbs, am 10lbs…

Hi there, I am 41years old and have about 42lbs to lose - 10lbs down so far! Great job on your weight loss so far. Good luck for the rest of your journey :-) Sending fr

I do that too! It's just water! £2.50?!? lol When I went with my son a while ago we went through his sweetie box and found a few mini packets of jelly sweets, tipped them all into one bigger bag and took those! :smile:

Awesome! That's a great NSV! Keep up the good work :-)

Amazing! You look fantastic and your post is very inspiring! Thanks for sharing :-)

That's a fantastic achievement! Congratulations! Keep up the good work :-)

Hi there, What an amazingly positive attitude you have and it's great that you have your husband on board for support as well. That's going to be a big help! I also got my husband started on MFP, although he doesn't have as much to lose as me - he mainly wants to eat healthier, lose a few lbs and tone up. I have been on…

Try cooking with a slow cooker. A little planning ahead but there are some very tasty dishes out there to find online. when you get home from a tiring day and you walk in to the smell of dinner cooking and all you have to do is dish it up! Yummy! Then any extra portions can be saved for later in the week or frozen for…

Hiya, I've been here for a couple of weeks so fairly new into my journey. I want to loose about 40lbs. So far have logged in everyday and love to see what other people are up too and offer some support. Add me if you would like to share your journey :-)

Hi there, I am quite amazed that your husband would want to sabotage all your great efforts! Well done to you for having the will power to resist it all. Stay positive and hopefully your husband will see that you are being serious with your new plan and help support your journey. I have only been on MFP for a couple of…

I have suffered with RLS for a few years now and most evenings my legs are twitching and jumping around. I have to stretch them out or get up and walk around for a while. I can't see any pattern for when I exercise or don't. I had heard that anaemia can be a cause but had my iron level checked and its fine. I have about…

Hi there, I'm a 41 year old female, hoping to loose about 45lbs in total. Got started a couple of weeks ago and would be glad to have more friends to share support with. Add me if you would like to share some stories and some support :-) Hugs

Hey there, We could be twins! Age: 42 Ht: 5'4" SW: 182 CW: 176.5 GW: 140 Sending you an add for support :-)

Hi :-) I've been on MFP for a couple of weeks and have been so motivated by all the support and by following friends journeys. I would be glad to have you as a friend, so add me if you need some more support :-) Hugs

Hi Jaime, I have been on MFP for only a couple of weeks, but have felt so motivated since I joined from all the great support. I'm also trying to loose a 'few' lbs before my holiday and have a goal after that of about 42lbs. I enjoy cooking too and have found MFP to be so easy to add in your own home recipes, so it gets…

Hi Lawrence, I've been here about 2 weeks as well and love to offer support and encouragement. Don't hide in the background anymore! Enjoy the support & share it with some friends :-D Sending you a friend request. Good luck!

Hi there, I love logging each day to see how friends are doing & offering support. I've been here for nearly 2 weeks & would love some more friends. Add me for some more support & good luck :smile:

Hi there, I've been on MFP for nearly 2 weeks & love checking the status of my friends & offering support every day. Add me if you need more friends & support :-D

Welcome to MFP :-) I would be happy to have you as a friend for mutual support. I have only been here a week myself but love all the support & encouragement from everyone. Add me for support :-D Hugs

Well done on taking the first step on your journey. I have been a major closet eater for a long time & would overload on chocolate as comfort food. I just decided that enough is enough & it's only going to change if 'I' decide to make a change for myself. Track everything that you eat - MFP has really opened my eyes to how…

Great job, well done!! You look amazing! You have inspired so many of us to keep on track. Thanks for sharing your pictures :flowerforyou:

Hi there, I'm in the UK (Berks) and have only been on MFP for less than a week, but loving it already. So much support here and I would be happy to offer up some support for others. Add me as well if you want to share the journey :-) Hugs

Hi there, I'm in the same boat as you about food - I love food (esp chocolate) and am a terrible comfort closet eater - a very bad combination when trying to loose weight! I would be glad to share your journey with you and offer up some support. I'm trying to make some changes as well and become a healthier person. I will…

Hi there, I'm fairly new to MFP too and in my early 40's. it's going to be much easier this time round with all the great support here. And what a lovely way to start - keep positive and have fun too! Will send you a request. Hugs

Hi there, What a very tough 9 years that must have been, but so great that you have a rosy future ahead of you. You have made the first big step in changing your life, I'm sure you will look amazing for your wedding day. I just joined MFP a few days ago and would be glad to have you invite me as a friend for some support…

Well done on getting started with your healthier lifestyle :smile: I did the same before my 40th and managed to fit into a lovely evening dress for our party (my husband & I are the same age so we had a joint 40th!) but before I knew it the pounds were piling on again :cry: I feel so positive now to finally make a true…

Hi :-) I'm 41years old & new to MFP so it's great to read about people who have stuck with their goals! I'm determined to finally make a change in my life but its very hard so I take it one day at a time for now until I can get myself into a good routine. I have a couple of small issues that can be worse if you are…
