32 From Southern England here too. Been here since end of September last year and nearly lost 5 stone! feel free to add.

I am from Hampshire UK and been here since the end of september last year and 53 lbs gone :)

I tell lots of people I know.......only because in my head..if I don't succeed then I will look like a silly *kitten*......so that drives me to do it!

I am the british half of a Californian Man who lives with me here in the UK in Hampshire :)

32 year old girlie from Hampshire here! This is my 3rd week :o)

You look so much younger!!! you have got to be happy with that!!!!! well done

My doctor said that if I have "blackened" stools ( nice! ).....then you are having too much iorn. If you are finding things normal in that department.....then I wouldn't worry to much. I take a multi vit with minerals as I have to have more iodine to help keep my thyroid functioning healthily and to absorb iodine you have…

I would get the kids involved...perhaps do your excersise on the weekends...take them for nice walks or go to a play area and just make yourself more mobile. My little nieces love dancing! Turn up the stereo and gett boogying! They poop me out with 40 mins of dancing :o)

Have you spoken to your doctor? Pehaps they can reccomend a light fitness plan for you or put you in touch with a dietitian to suit your requirements?

I have thyroid issues too and was advised by my doctor to take multivitamins with minerals as the iodine, b12 and vit D are essential to a healthy thyroid :o) started taking them today

I think if it helps you to "switch off" from the exercise your doing, then it can only be good! My secret pleasure would have to be cheesy 80's tunes or failing that Trance

If you open your food diary for us to have a look at, maybe we can be more helpful. Got to settings "Open Diary" :o)

I have been here 10 days now. I am in the UK too. More than happy for you to send me a friend request :o)

Awe bless ya. xx Bananas are good when its your time of the month and foods high in Iron. Also a cheeky low fat chocolate mouse might help with the choccy cravings...i think Tesco have some xx or what about working a 2 finger KitKat into your calories?

I am from the UK and me and my hubs ( he is Californian ) both live in the UK in hampshire :o) So a little bit of both x

I am a chubber from the UK who has 60lb to loose! My hubs ( who lives with me in the UK ) is Californian...Feel free to add. More than happy to have new Fatbusters on my friends list :o)

Too many carbs from too much bread based foods and biscuits. I have a horrendous sweet tooth but found some alternatives such as fat free toffee yoghurts, or highlights hot chocolate, or a jubbly ice lolly or even sugar free jelly. I try and limit any bread intake to 2 slices of bread a day and thats it..no more bread.…

I am not intentially being gross but before drinking lots of water I would live on Cups of coffee and coke and pretty much no other liquid. I had sugar puff sweet smelling and dark treacle coloured urine all the time and only peed twice a day ( once in the morning and before I went to bed ) Now I am drinking plain water I…

Its such an eye opener this site! What a great concept. I am currently creating my next shopping list to be more "healthy" in two weeks time as currently have a cupboard of "food stuff" that I cant replace financially until I get paid..so be warned over the next two weeks you may see something random on my…

Well..probably unlike most Brits, I do understand American foods as my husband is Californian living with me here in the UK :happy:

I am a newbie, but very happy if any brits want to add me too! I am from Hampshire. :smile:
