Big hug!!!

Thanks that does actually help, as I'm very bad at that. Forget to eat and then eat a big meal or lots of junk =(

Hey, I'm in the UK too. I got a fitbit one last christmas and love it!!! Helps you track EVERYTHING and links with mfp. Good choice if you are competitive, as it will motivate you loads!

Know that problem well. Healthier=more expensive. Buy dried chickpeas, lentils...all sorts of pulses. Frozen veg Bulk buy and bulk cook then freeze. We also found over all we end up saving because our portions got smaller when calorie counting (and we never throw anything just freeze or use next day) And as above, no…

Hey there, feel free to add me. I have three little ones and know how difficult it is with kids around. Also aiming to lose a stone and a half. Good luck on your journey =) x

hey there, I think it is a personal choice. My little one is 10 weeks. I was told by GP to put in 500 calories deficit. Thought that was way too high, but have since found that I do need that amount to get through the day and helps with extra snack for me after feeding baby. I will probably drop it to 400 calories in a…

Hey there, good on you for making that first step. Now it is just a matter of continuing that journey. I'll send you a friend request, motivations helps a lot =) ps: i have REALLY low self control too!!!

German here...and totally agree...bread is great!!! And shouldn't be the reason for being overweight.

Hi Arne good to see a fellow German. I live in the UK. I'll add you. I'm trying to loose about 8-10kg and get in shape. Could do with motivation and am happy to motivate :) Andrea

Done. Thanks for recruiting =)

I'll join. Think it might help with my motivation. Do I just add name and weight?

Hi everyone I have a 3 year old, a 21 months old and the latest addition is nine weeks today. Ready to get back into shape and any support and motivation is appreciated.

Chocolate glorious chocolate =) growing up in germany has brainwashed me into loving and worshiping chocolate. not a day without it. !

I'll join in the dance when I get to my goal. If you want some support and motivation you can add me. Busy mum myself and trying to get back in shape =) Andrea

awesome hair!!!

I read this in the forum. Was it meant to be taken seriously? Not sure whether to laugh or cry....

Ditto solves my chocolate cravings immediately.

Love how everyone from UK is mentioning the weather ;)

From Germany originally...but living in beautiful England now =)

I hope it is possible. Can't really do much exercise so kind of relying on the calorie deficit. Only just started but it's looking good =)

Like my back ...weird I know. Content with my upper body. HATE my thighs and butt. Just hate that I'm so out of proportion....

I had a curry and a beer last night. So feeling for you. Back to being good today though, occasional treat has to be. Turning 30 in Feburary and really want to feel good about myself this year. Lots of support here. Good luck.

My kids are really into stir frys at the moments. They are so quick you can make them individually. I usually make the kids first and whilst theirs cools down I do mine with a few healthier or a few less ingredients. During the winter now we quite often eat lentil curries or lentil stews which are easy to make, healthy but…

Hi wuerde gerne ein paar deutsche freunde hier finden. Bin aus Deutschland (Sachsen-Anhalt) wohne jetzt aber in England. Bin bei MFP erst seit einer Woche und brauche Unterstuetzung und Motivation. gebe immer schnell auf aber moechte das jetzt unbedingt durchziehen. Schreibt mir einfach =) Andrea

I like to kick *kitten* =) At the moment I need a little though. Lacking motivation even though I only started. Oh I am from Germany then London and now Nottingham. Feel free to add me. Andrea

Hey there, I had the same problem. I try to stick to the calorie intake set (without considering nursing) but find myself very hungry at times. Nursing can use up to 500 calories! I just go over my calories now if I have to and not worry too much... Maybe create an exercise log entry for nursing to push up your calories a…

Haven' really got a useful reply. But am curious to any you get =) Got awful sugar cravings. Good luck.

Thanks everyone. =)

Only joined yesterday as well. Read about taking your boys swimming on your profile. Can relate to that. One of my main reasons to get in shape is to keep up with my boys and not to have to think twice about taking them swimming. Let me kow if you want to chat or need some encouragement. Andrea x
