Very inspirational, and a perfect moment for me to read. Congratulations.

Hi All, early 50's, back at Gym, and trying to control, and significantly reduce the middle age spread! Happy to have friends who can share journeys and help motivate me.

Good luck, I'm starting to record again to get a real feel for progress. I have been exercising for 4 months now and have around 100 lbs to lose, so happy to share my journey with you if you want to add as a friend. In for the long haul. :)

Same here, just resubmitted my weight!! Have been advised by my work GP that this site is really good for support. I'm in the right frame of mind I think to get back on it, but I do find it confusing with all the different advice around. Is sugar bad, are carbs bad, which fruits are good. But hey ho here we go again. Good…

I will not gain the weight I've lost back, because............... I know that I am loved and have a right to look after myself as well as everyone else, I have rediscovered my love of exercise and the positive feelings it can bring! I no longer think about food as the answer to all of life's challenges And finally, I…

Go shopping!

To all of you who gave me tips and advice....thank you soooooo much. Had a brilliant week got myself organised, took food with me and used gym at hotel. Think it is a state of mind thing, and your good tips were great motivation. Have a great weekend everyone.

In beautiful sunny long eaton. Feel free to add me.

what does TDEE - 20% mean?

What does TDDE stand for.

WOW...thanks for all your responses, I'll have a look at the links and I do also use the oats so simple pots but it is like eating cardboard!! Feeling motivated and just as well as going to states on holiday in 12 days, so a last minute push will be just the job. I'll try the salad and balsamic, can use a fridge in office…

My achievement for today is, being organised so I could starting tracking again!! Bought low fat sandwich and fruit on way to work to avoid the chocolate machine and Snacks at work! And I've tracked everything so far today..yeah me!

OMG.....Awesome transformations doesn't matter how much weight has been lost the exercise that has gone with it really shows how amazing you can look and feel. At 270lbs very afraid of the camera, so no shots but maybe i should take some so at least I can see how my body is reshaping, then maybe I'll be brave enough to…

Another reason why i love this site!!!! Made me laugh out loud now i have to show your knockers and knobs to my hubbie who wants to know whats so funny!!!!! lol:bigsmile:

Well done! Great progress and think now you know you can do it, keep up the work and 100lb will come and go, and then you'll be focused completely on your next 100lb. :happy:

Well done you!! So do you have any tips for those of us just starting out?

After years of lining the pockets of WW and other diet companies, I saw this MFP in my WHiCH magazine, and decided that I would do this for me, and save the money that I would have being sent to the big 'corporates' to give myself a real treat and not become a slave to the points sytem. Thanks MFP, I'm loving it and…

I'm in only able to walk at moment but here we go. Does anyone have the link to the little trackers that everyone seems to have. THX :smile:

Sadly - 'Puppy Love' was the first I bought, but it got better with my second being 'Bohemian Rhapsody', on special order as a 10/11th birthday.

I love gigs and here are my 3 favorites; Queen - in Manchester many years ago, Noisettes at Rock City Nottingham, and Zutons outdoors at Nottingham Pines. But best value for me and quality has to be Mr Springsteen, Coventry City football ground amazing acoustic version of Born to Run. Ooh nearly forgot Jools Holland and…

Great to see challenges on here, I up for whatever in Feb!
