I looked at that site fstgf. It was very good and have got lots of useful information from it. There was a work out on there for women that incorporated dumbell weights and cardio. So I'm goibg to do that every other day and pure cardio on the alternate days. I know it will take me a while and before I've always wanted the…

I like to exercise in 4 sets of 8 reps per exercise. If I can lift the weight easily more than 12 reps per set, it is not heavy enough. If I cannot lift it for 8 reps in a set, then it is too heavy. Can't say this is right, but it is working for me. I also found a lot of useful information here: http://scoobysworkshop.com/…

Thanks for the advice, I do appreciate it. I have a question about weights. If I start start lifting at home, what weight should I start with? This is for dumbells and the barbell.

Hi, you have come to the best place. Mfp is such a support and all the people on here are really encouraging. Feel free to add me and good luck. X

Hi, feel free to add me. I'm losing the weight for my sisters wedding next year.

This!

Wow, amazing! Right now I would be happy to look like your before picture and I've only had 2 kids!

When I first started just over a year ago I didn't have a time frame I mind and it didn't help. I lost sight of what I wa doing and then I got ill and didn't care. This time I would like to be on or very near to goal by next summer when my sister gets married.

Well if you ate all the pies I ate the cake! Time to get a grip, I turn 40 in February 2015 and I have spent all of my 30s fat and fed up so now its time for a change. Feel free to add me.

Hi, I admit to lurking around the boards a hell of a lot more than I post gut I notice that I always feel so much more motivated and supported when I do respond to posts or when I post a topic of my own. I used to have scale ocd too, I lost close to 50lbs got ill and just watched tge weight increase every time I got on…

Same as me, I lost loads earlier in the year then I put most of it back on when I was ill and now 2 and a half weeks in for me and I'm just starting to get my motivation back again. Hopefully this time I won't be ill! Lol

Yep me too! But it has to go!

Hello, I know what you mean about being a stay at home mum with 24/7 kitchen access! Feel free to add me.

You are truly inspiring! What a story of triumph! Congratulations

I have exactly this, my specialist told me cardio with no impact or strain. I have a cross trainer and I love it! I can do crunches with accushion under my back and I wear a support vest to help with back support. You can do it, just take it easy.

Soo right! 3 years ago I lost 35 in 6 weeks o lighter life. It was just about the worst thing I ever did. My body is only just recovered enough for me to loose weight in a healthy way and exercise. It is just not worth it. Honestly eat well and work out and drink water.

Thanks for posting. It is god to see the pics of befores and afters but loved reading how you did it. I shall definitely use some of your tips to help with my weight loss as it is also nice to know that there are some things I am already doing. :)

Good for you! That is a great NSV, these are the little battle's won that keep us all going. Thanks for sharing.

Just wow!

Love love love this thread! Hopefully it won't be too long before I am posting my own pictures.

Hi! I was the same, I left mfp in March after loosing nearly 50lbs. I got too confident and then I was ill for a while and then I left mfp and ate! Now I'm back and goung to nail it this time. I'm 38 and I don't want to go into my 40s fat! Feel free to add me.

I lost 42lbs then fell off the wagon because I got complacent and managed to gain 16lbs back on. But this last week I have been back on it and I am so inspired by all you ladies! I'm going to take some pictures tomorrow and keep track and use this thread for motivation. maybe one day I will be posting on here too.

Hi, feel free to add me! I'm 5'3" and around 175lb, goal weight around 135 would be nice. What would also be really nice is if I could do it be September for my step daughters wedding!! I'm 37 and have 2 children and live in Kent.

Bump! I need this inspirational thread for the next 45lbs and phase 2 of my weight loss after having a break for 3 months due to illness. Amazing work everyone! :)

I have this problem too!! I am wearing smaller clothes, I have gone from a UK size 20 to a size 14. I still have a way to go and all I see is how far left to go and I find it so hard to recognize how far I have come and what I have achieved so far. At the start I asked people not to tell me that I was looking different…

Hi I'm from Kent! Feel free to add me. I could always do with some good old fashioned bottom kicking!!!

Amazing! I'm at my halfway point and starting to flounder a bit. This is just what I needed to boost me up again. You look fantastic and so happy.

Hey I'm in Kent. Feel free to add me I could do with all the support I can get! Happy Christmas! :)

Metallica - One So fast!

I did the towel thing too! lol I am finding the NSV's much more motivating than the scales moving because for me the NSV's make me feel so much better. Great news for your trousers.
