Hi, Would love some more support and motivation. 2 years ago I managed to lose around 60lbs but due to extremely difficult family situation I kind of of gradually lost my way and have over time regained all I had lost. I got back in the zone at the beginning of this year and had been doing quite well although at the moment…

You are looking amazing. You should be proud, you have worked so hard to get where you are. Well Done !!!:happy:

Just looked at Aug results on my fitbit and did 252 flights of stairs so am up for increasing to 400 this month !!! Only 13 flights a day :ohwell:

Not too far away - Fakenham in Norfolk !!!

Would love to join as well please !!! I increased my calories 2 weeks ago and started some basic strength training but at the moment could use some advise about the exercise amounts and net calories etc. I have currently lost 56lbs in the last 7 months but was finding myself more and more tired etc. I still have a long way…

Well didnt get time to do the ab crunches on day 2 , but did do 10 ish on the 3rd along with 25 shoulder presses. So far today have walked 3 miles and climbed 36 flights of stairs - not too bad for a beginner. Will aim for more reps of each exercise next time they come round !!!

OK, so I managed about 20 hip abductions for each leg but can't be more exact than that.. Was so busy concentrating on the breathing i forgot to count !!! Perhaps I'll get the hang of this by the end of the month hehe

Well i am ready to give this a go, but as I havent even heard of most of them i guess it will be a steep learning curve. You tube be prepared - you are going to get a hammering !!!

A tip a friend shared with me the other other day if it is any help. This was a actually in relation to an anorexic friend who could not see that she was actually smaller than her friend. She considered her friend a small girl but could only see herself as fat and ugly. My friend got a large piece of paper and they each…

i agree with logging everything. At least that way you can see what has caused the day to go over, sometimes its not what you expect. That in itself helps you make better choices. Also if you go over one day you can see how bad it was and try to make up over the next few days by doing some more exercise and limit the…

If I didnt know better ,I would think today is April 1st !!! This cannot be right !!!!

Ok, well this sounds a good plan for a week of excesses, but really have no idea where to set the goal. So based on the fact that I will probably overeat by about 700 calories on 3 days I will aim to burn 2100.

Have recently started using FT60, it is really quite motivating. Just havent worked out yet how to get my workouts to show as 'fat burning' I always seem to get 'fitness improving' I know this is not a bad thing but would like to be able to choose which to do. Technology pah !!! lol

Hi - Feel free to add me. I started this journey in November at 275 and am currently at 260. I have tried many times in the past to lose the weight and always failed and ended up gaining a bit more on top. I realise this is going to take quite some time and hope the motivation from my mfp friends will make all the…

Dont have any scientific facts to back this up but I find on the weeks I have to go more often I end up having a greater weight loss. If I dont go so often the weight loss is less. Guess all those lbs have to go somewhere - lol !!!

My son is severely allergic to all nuts ( mildly allergic to other stuff as well) and a small amount ingested can put him very quickly into anaphalactic shock. He was breast feed solely until he was 6 months old and then gradually weaned but was never given any nut products to eat. My theory ( all be it with no scientific…

Well I hadnt even thought that far ahead, but really like the idea of going for maintenance in the run up to and over Christmas. Thanks very much for the idea :)

Have sent friend request. I have only just started this journey and have a long way to go(100lbs +) so will be here for a good while . yet. I am trying to break this down into managable chunks and need to take my mind off how far there is to go

15 mins on the cross trainer before tea. Am now getting ready to play cornet in band concert for rememberence day which mfp calculates at loads of cals burnt ( but it never seems that many) If I get home in time will walk the dog for 30-60 mins !!!
