Inspiring words Handfordrose - thank you for sharing with others for motivation, I had all but given up after a year of hard work, but am ready to continue the journey. Your message has given me, and I am guessing others, the boost to keep moving forward. :flowerforyou:

Hi - I'm sneaking back into the group after going missing for a couple of weeks yet again - hope that's okay, and sorry :( Ok, well confession time: I don't think anyone will be surprised that I haven't been honest with anyone (even myself) about what I've been eating and exercise lately. Not sure what's happened except…

Hi everyone, Sorry I haven't been around for a week or so, I've been sick with a bad cold / flu on and off for the last few weeks - thought I'd better get my iron levels checked as I have been really exhausted as well as feeling really run-down, and it turns out I'm pretty anaemic, but a few days on iron tablets have…

Hi everyone, Wow, you're all doing so well, congratulations to all of you for your achievements, it is inspiring to see all those goals being met. Still waiting for those scales to move, I keep trying and trying but it's still not going down... On the upside though it isn't going up again either I guess. Good news is I…

That's fantastic news! My uncle had MS when I was little, it's great there is so much more the doctors and specialists can do now than back then. :)

Hi everyone Been a bit MIA this week here, crazy week at work settling new kids in (I'm a teacher in a child care centre) it's been exhausting. Then over the weekend I came down with some bug and felt pretty ill over the last few days - pretty much sat on the couch over the weekend and did nothing, so haven't really…

Hi again, Broncosbabe: we have PCYCs here (WA) but their activities are mainly only for kids - there is one round the corner from me but the gym there is owned by the local council and they charge pretty heavily (last time we went about 2 years ago it was over $10 for a casual visit), though they are the only ones close to…

Hiya everyone, I'm only going to be weighing in monthly, as I'm finding I'm at a place where I'm just not losing much quickly anymore, even though I still have quite a lot to lose. When I started on mfp, I decided that this time I was going to lose weight as cheaply as possible - by this I mean without spending lots of…

Haha Helen, well done on taking Claude on board lol - beware tho, the last cat we tried to make friends with has truly adopted us, and has pretty much taken over our house. This has also pushed me scarily close to 'crazy cat lady' status, as it brings my cat total up to three - and they are not very impressed with the new…

Name: Tansy Location: Perth Sex: Female Age: 44 Height: 155cm (I'm part-hobbit lol) Starting Weight: 84kg Starting Date: last year Goal Weight: 80kg - anything under this will be a bonus. Starting Measurements: Bicep: 33cm Chest: 116cm Waist: 106cm Hips: 120cm Thigh: 63cm (not sure if I did this one right though) Starting…

Fantastic story - thanks for sharing :) Just over a year ago I was looking for free apps and downloaded mfp thinking 'meh, I'll probably have a peek at it but i doubt it'll be any good'. So happy I was so wrong: in the last year I have lost 25kg (about 57lb), my health and fitness have improved beyond belief (I am actually…

Still here after almost a year & 25kg down but still have a long way to go - so I'm here to stay :) Have given myself Xmas off but will be back into it properly soon. Good luck to everyone for 2014 in reaching their goals! :smile:

I've been here almost a year and like all of you only many of my friends have disappeared. I still have a long way to go and log on every day, feel free to add me :smile:

Hi I'm 44 - been on mfp since Jan and have found it a great motivator but I seem to have hit a wall with weight loss lately. Feel free to add me if you like I log in every day :)

Welcome and congratulations on giving up smoking and taking that first leap to a fitter you! You've inspired me already to continue on my own journey to better health and I hope I can be some support to you on yours - sending you a friend request :smile:

You look amazing! Congratulations and well done :)

Still here, still going, though slowly. I started a new job about a month ago so am now working 2 jobs 5 days a week - a big jump from 2 - 3 days a week, so it has been a busy time for my whole family as we all get used to the new routine. Haven't done as much exercise as I would like as I'm on my feet most of the day at…

Hi all, I'm still here - started a new job 2 weeks ago and am now working full time for the first time since I had my kids. It's made it harder to fit in exercise but I'm hoping being on my feet most of the day at work will compensate for that at least till I get used to the new routine. I think I've gone off track a…

FR sent and best of luck :smile:

I'm 43 and have been on mfp for nearly 6 months but seem to have hit a plateau lately with very little weight loss - would love to make some new friends to motivate / support each other :)

That's awesome Julie! Congratulations, your hard work is really paying off :happy:

I started on here in Jan at about 242 lbs (I'm only 5'1" so any extra weight really shows). Before starting this year I was very obese, very unmotivated and hated how I looked and felt. I had always promised myself I would never be a 'calorie counter' and that I didn't need any help to lose any weight. Then in Jan I…

I weigh in officially on a Sunday morning, but usually will also weigh myself once a day as well just to make sure I'm keeping on track... just in case lol :)

Thanks so much ladies, I really appreciate your kind words and thoughts x x

What's going well: I think I have made real lifestyle changes to what I eat in that I eat regular meals, I really think about what I'm going to eat (and if I really need to be eating that - often not) rather than just doing what I want when I want, also cutting out junk food, soft drinks and sweets. Last week I went out…

I started it a couple of times last week - first time I thought I was actually going to die (I'm very unfit). Gave it a break and tried it again today, I almost got thru the whole thing without stopping and only modifying a bit of the cardio as I get shin splints but actually feel pretty good after. I'm hoping to do the…

Hi I'm a Perth girl, would love some new friends from good old WA :)

Thanks for posting this, I've been wondering about that as well. My goals were reset today too and my first thought was 'oh no, I'm down 60 cals? How will I manage that?' - even though I often don't eat them all anyway (I just like knowing they were there if I wanted to lol) :laugh:

I'm still here too - I don't have many friends either, will add you if you want :)

Hi, I'm still here I've probably been a bit quiet lately as I've had some personal issues to deal with :( SW: 242 lbs (110kg) CW: 222 lbs (101kg - 1kg till first goal) GW: haven't set one as such though hoping for at least 20kg loss - making short 10kg goals for starters. Successes: kicked chocolate, soft drink and fast…
