Hello, I am in The process of relocating from Manchester to Bristol. Thanks for the thread because would love some support in the local area, and certainly in the same time zone.

Count me in, 14 stone 4 pounds today. That sounds such much better than 200lbs. :)

Interesting topic because I suppose I have also taken a view its a secret. I haven't told anybody because I am trying not to think of the change as a diet at all, just a change in lifestyle. I need to manage stress, get more exercise and care about what I eat and drink, before it’s too late! The weight coming off, the…

Great Thanks Steve, I blame my addiction to work. So I have joined the gym and starting to take serious steps to reduce stress

I think one is taken in a mirror, so makes sense. Great job

My husband was made redundant, yesterday. We just bought a house and relocated away from family for work 2 years ago. I hate MITIE

Where are you from Kat? Manchester UK here, orginally from West Virginia, USA. Read through the sucess stories, there are some great ones there and other community forums. I took alot of inspirations from them when I started. Off to bed and will be travelling 2 days on business, but will be about using my iPhone. Nightie…

My husband is also a very picky. If I ask him first he will always says peas, no thank you to salad. I do bear in mind he is not a veggie person and so I fix myself a big salad, or a veggie based main. He gets a portion as his side dish. I slip extra veggies in his steak and noodle stir fry, 1/2 a green pepper and some…

Well the short-term goals are a good approach, right now mine is losing enough weight I have an excuse for a few new outfits. Diet is an important part of managing Cohn's disease, so the tools here should help out. I have persistent trouble with ulcers since I was in my early 20's but nothing so serious. Mostly, I struggle…

I almost cried the difference was so, well you look so much younger to start with... beautiful and thank you for the encouragement.

If I eat junk food, because I just am having one of those days - maybe stuck on the road, emotional day, if I drink too much.... I still try to keep under my goal for the day. I think its important to be honest, not perfect and if I ate badly, but managed not to binge and stayed on track - why not get some encouragement.…

My son brings me some from the States when he comes, I have never found any here that I enjoy. Mom comes in September, I ask her to brings some extra jars. What brand?

I find just having this place where i can see what I eat and exercise, this very easy to use tool - the best approach. I am not dieting, following any sort of "plan" - I just log what I eat and try to stay close to my calorie goal. It feels like a good place to come and "facebook" when I need support or inspiration. And…

Poached routine quite often. Turn of the electric kettle and get the water boiling.... (empty the dishwasher whilst it comes to a boil) Start my tea mug brewing and use the leftover boiling water to poach egg. The boiling water in a sauce pan. Add egg. Lid on. Low-med heat. Start toast, by the time the slice of toast is…

Also- look up "midsole running" .... on it... thanks so much guys I feel like I can really do it after reading all of this. Slow is better than not moving - good advice.

I am so glad you both posted. I was thinking of doing it daily! I work in IT as well, and that mean couch potatoe, and video gamer by weekends. I love to read and wrote a few short stories when i was younger, I don't think I have any hobbies that require movement outside of my doggie walking duties. The dog will love the…

Cheers.

I am roughly 200 looking to be 140 and i am starting C25K today! I opend a thread in Excewrcise to see if any other newbies were just starting it. Friend request coming Fitnclear because I think I will need support.

I just downloaded the iTune app for my phone, for £1.99. I am so ready! My husband and I tried this about a year ago - but I moaned and moaned about it. This time I am ready! I need to up my exercise. Thanks for the post Please anybody ad me who is doing this, I so need a push on exercise

Welcome, I think this place is working (even though i had a baddie day yesterday). It could have been worse, at leaset my cheating was on low calorie cheats. I would have really went wild if it wasn't for logging all the stuff yesterday. I feel back in control today, and maybe needed a extra calorie day since I have lost…
