Hi, I'm from Cardiff, feel free to add me!

Sounds like a great NSV! Fabulous job at losing the 3 dress sizes too!

I have to say, I completely understand your decision and will support you in making that change. Not all carbs are bad, ie the veg and fruit you mentioned, but white/over-processed carbs are simply not necessary, so......SO LONG CARBS!!! Keep me posted how it goes, as this is something I want to do too. :bigsmile:

Whatever time I eat, I just make sure I go to bed at least 2 hours afterwards.

Bump, Thank you!

My Mum doesn't make mean comments, she just completely ignores the fact that I have lost any weight at all. :sad:

^ Love this post! Completely agree with OP too!

Check out this article, very informative.... http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/food-sources-of-potassium.php Getting enough potassium has long been a quest of mine, as I suffer with terrible muscle cramps, a symptom of potassium deficiency.

Awesome achievement!

Funny!

Hi, I've sent friend requests to all of you - hope you can join me in this crazy journey! With the amount that I have to lose (130/140lbs) I will be hanging around this site for a LONG time, so hopefully we'll get to know each other really well.......who knows what doors are opening, lol! I'm quite a private person (as…

Flax seeds or flax seed oil - works EVERY time, lol! Easy to eat too.....

Hi, I'm in!

Great information, very well put. Thank you!

I would categorise it as Dancing - choose one of the options already on MFP, or get a heart rate monitor to make your own category.

I'm SOOO jealous! I wanna go!

Hee hee hee funny as f....udge!

WOW! You sound totally shocked by his announcement.......I guess he'll be feeling very anxious about his decision and your reaction to it as well. You owe it to both yourself and your husband to be totally honest with him when you talk about this........anything less will only cause trouble later. My heart goes out to you,…

Hi, I'm in Cardiff......

Ummm, what's zig-zagging???

Oh man! I wear two bras to workout!!! They still get all jumpy!!

I've heard (can't remember where) that green tea helps the digestion process - I always have a cup after a big meal, really soothes the tummy and you lose that bloated feeling! I love hot lemon water too, need to make it an everyday thing.....

I use weights strapped to my ankles and wrists, that makes treading water an exercise in itself!

Great Idea! I love the water too, for both the reasons that you mentioned. I used to sea-swim a lot and really miss not being able to get to the pool everyday now, but I dive in whenever I can! Aqua-aerbics is just fab, a great workout and no impact pressure on your joints! I've also done Aqua-Zumba - now that is amazing,…

It's a rugby (the game) saying over here (UK) Rugby is a bit like American Football, but without the padding - they know about pain! lol

I checked my frame size, using that link. I measured my wrist and gave my height and (no surprise) I have a large frame. The ideal weight calculator suggested a weight between 135 and 159 lbs!!! I'm so happy to re-adjust my goals to 150 - I carry weight all over, in an hourglass way, (big boobs, big bum, small waist) so I…

Hi! I have 130+ to lose, so we can help each other along the way - feel free to add me! :smile:

I've switched it to Lightly Active now, it's only a small increase in daily calorie allowance, so it sould work for me. Thanks for the opinions guys! x

Fabulous! Enjoy your success, you SO deserve it!

It's very hard, I know! I have 3 kids, who all want different things from me just when I need to spend a bit of time on myself! The time that you take to workout now is an absolute investment in your and your child's future - not that they will understand, but mine got used to it, so will your Darling. It's the same with…
