Hello ladies! 39 years old, married working mother of a 2 year old little boy. Live in Kent, England and work full time in London Loving MFP so feel free to add me. 18lbs to lose and have lost 5lbs in 5 weeks so feeling motivated to do this!!

What an absolutely amazing achievement, you are an inspiration!! :happy:

Maidstone in Kent too, but work in Canary Wharf in London :)

ok 1. You have done AMAZINGLY WELL to lose 92 bloody lbs!! 2. I agree with the others, you are not eating enough cals. 3. I try never to go less than 1200 a day and am consistently losing weight 4. Stop beating yourself up - I put on a lb the other week (and I had only lost 3lbs at that point so was gutted) but I got…

Welcome! Been on here for 4 weeks now and am SO glad that I found MFP!! People are friendly, non judgemental and most of all, supportive! Feel free to add me :happy:

I'm new too (3 weeks in!) so feel free to add me :wink:

Add me as I am also fairly new (3 weeks in!) I want to lose 18lbs and 3lbs in 2 weeks and then added back a lb at this mornings weigh in! ARGHHHH! :mad:

My name is Sophia and I do like it. I hated it as a kid and insisted on being called Sophie (which incidentially I now cannot stand!) but since I was 16 or so, I have loved Sophia, although all of a sudden it is getting popular with a lot of reality show women with children named Sophia. Horrified! :ohwell:

Firstly well done for the massive weight loss so far!! I think that you're body is now losing the 'hard fat' after the initial bumper fat weight loss. I.e. your body has settled down a bit and a 1.5lb a week weight loss is great!! That means it will stay off in the long term. I have put on 1lb today after a not so good…

Live in Kent, work in London Add me too if you like :wink:

Hi I agree with the others, anything less than 1200 a day is counterproductive. I want to lose 18lbs and my cals were set at 1200 a day which it said would give me a 0.8lb a week loss. Well I lost 1.2lbs my first week and my second weigh in today showed that I have lost another 1.8lbs which means I've lost 3lbs in two…

Hi Jolene I am new too (been on here for just 2 weeks) but everyone is lovely and very supportive! Add me as a friend too :)

8.5

As the others have said, loads of low calorie alcohol options, however watch the sugar levels. I had a glass of moscato rose earlier this week and one glass had 15g of sugar but only 106 cals.............! You know what sugar turns into.........

Hi Greg I would do the most logically thing which is add all the five calorific values together and divide by 5. That will give you the average of them all and is probably the closest match. I make this average number to be 3741 calories which is the number I would go with. However, I would stick to the HRM Oregan thing…

Amazing!! Well done you :)

OK - you have all convinced me - I'm going onto ebay to buy 30 Day Shred!!!! :happy:

ok feeling dumb but I am a newbie............what is a 30 day shred?? :noway:

Amazing Job!! You must be absolutely over the moon and rightly so! Keep on trucking lady! :wink:

Do not feel disappointed!! You have to get into a mindset of anything lost is a complete result :smile: My first weigh in is on Monday and my fear is that I will either be the same or put on which will be severely demotivatiing but I will keep on going!! I think you are doing everything right and like everyone says - 6lbs…

I know the feeling - someone has just bought my a box of chocs to say thanks for helping her out last week...........I wanted to scream! Lovely thought but since I am only 3 days into my diet, I am trying to stay on the wagon! Have put them in a central position and am watching everyone else eat them whilst mentally…

Hi Definitely just weigh yourself no more than once a week - I think anything more than that leads to stress and obsessing! I weigh myself in the noddy, after toilet duties first thing in the morning. You are doing great - keep positive! :wink:

Thanks for all your replies - I am overwhelmed with your loveliness and offers of support and help. We are all so going to smash this!! :) x
