I quit a 20-30 ciggies a day habit, 12 years ago by going cold turkey. The hardest thing for me was breaking the habit of stopping my mind planning the next cigarette break (ie. Walk to bus-stop (have a cigarette), catch bus, get off at work bus-stop (have a cigarette), tea break (have a cigarette), lunchbreak (have a…

I'm giving up salty snacks - crisps, popcorn. My kids have voluntarily given up their gaming computer!

Bump! I want to come back here in the future and post my story! :smile:

England!! I have three sons that play the sport so you never know I may have given birth to tomorrow's players!

You don't have to do this ^^ anymore on SW. But I found it difficult because of the portion contol issues too. I love my food so being told I could eat some things as much as I wanted... I did just that! Not very helpful! It is expensive too. That's why I love MFP! It's simple TDEE -20% and free!!

I don't need anyone to tell me I'm fabulous. I'm the King of the Jungle! :laugh:

Excellent NSV... Keep it up!

Completely concur with you.... the scales for too long dominated how I felt about myself :angry: . A small gain would make me lose all hope and make me put tonnes on. :grumble: Congratulations to you - you look fab! :drinker: xxx

This ^^^^ x 1,000,000 And stop using the adjectives 'fat' or 'lazy' because from your post you appear to be neither. You are a new mum - be kind to yourself - you don't have to be Supermum - there is no such thing. We are all out there (me included) just doing the best we can everyday. So take each day, one at a time.…

Bump :)

Noooo I like my men to be hairy. :love: Neanderthal even.. :happy:

Great NSV - well done you ! :drinker:

Top Five 1 Tea with Semi-skimmed milk 2 Porridge 3 Red Wine 125ml :drinker: 4 Salted Popcorn 5 Butter :noway: Ha ha that's not the healthiest of diets is it :laugh: Apart from tea and porridge, I don't have the others every day so I suppose its not too bad!

No parking

I regularly get Plantar Faciitis and I actually find that walking helps (although the first steps in the morning are unbearable) it does get better during the day as long as I don't sit for too long. Maybe cut out the power walking until it not so inflamed but you'll be all right just going out for normal walk. It'll mean…

Oooh I forgot about Prince... good call!

10. I don't watch it (am a rugby girl) but we sometimes watch for the half-time performance (The Who, Stones, Tom Petty, The Boss) :smile:

Well done! :drinker: Don't give up now...

I would say don't focus so much on the number on the scales. Its what has lead to my downfalls in the past. Sadly, I am too competitive and no matter what I did, my body just didn't want to play along. What I didn't rate highly enough and focus on is how much my body was changing (for the better), how much stronger and…

Bump for later

Feel free to add me :)

:drinker: Congratulations!!

People who sneeze three or more times in a row and unnecessarily loudly makes me instantly angry :explode: . I don't know why and I don't let on that I am cross! (I am totally calm and peaceful 99% of the rest of the time :smile: )

Definitely overestimate! :)

I have loved MFP since I have been here too! And I can tell you that the OP is an inspiration and a great supporter of others too! Well done Suzi - great post and well done on your weightloss. You look amazing. :drinker: x
