I find when I have a goal I can be so determined! A couple years ago when holidays were a thing 😂😳 I managed to lose about 2 stone/28lbs in a few months ready for heading to Mexico. But my wedding is a short term goal and I want to really focus on my health at this point and beyond the wedding - we want to start a family…

Great work!! Lock down has been tough, it's great you've used this time to work on you and your goals.

Hey! I'm getting married in August 2021 too. When we first booked it up, it felt like years away. Now it's next year and I'm fatter/bigger than I've ever been. We can do this!

For reference, I am 6'1, female, 24 y/o and currently weigh 17 stone 9 / 238lbs x

I'm hoping to be a success story! I'm 6'1, 23 years of age, and I've been pretty up and down all my life with my weight. After gaining around 50lbs in about 3 months, I got horrific stretch marks on my tummy that are still bright red, that still haven't faded and I feel like I've ruined my body, so since April I've been…

Wow, this is jaw dropping. All of this. I didn't really read many comments, but I saw all the pictures and the journeys. Such an inspiration. This thread has made me decide to lift heavy this time around. My weight yoyos all year round and I'm at my heaviest ever now, but everytime I lose weight I usually focus solely on…

45 Minutes of basketball ended up with me feeling like I was going to die, red face, sweat all over! Probably managed only a couple baskets out of a lot of attempts but better than nothing, and I was more active than I would have been just sitting at home watching TV!

Do you work in an office at home or around other people? Could you try maybe sitting on an exercise/gym ball? It would keep your core engaged and pretty fun to bounce on from time to time haha.

I think you're right to some extent, but then again I know that I am very prone to unhealthy behaviours i.e. taking watching my food and exercising to the extreme. When I was 18 I ate an apple per day and ran at least 5 miles whilst eating the most minimum amount of dinner each night to prevent family from suspecting I had…

I'm in this group! Around 70lbs to lose. Recently purchased a basketball (used to play when I was younger) and hoping to do as much fun exercise as possible whilst eating better! Hoping to be where I want to be by next summer at the latest.

Cheers guys. Some great replies. Just came back from a 11pm wander around our local superstore. Partner picked up doughnuts and other naughty chocolate things, but I treated myself to some nail accessory things. Trying to think about "treats" as things to use/wear/do rather than to eat, which is a usual cycle I get stuck…

Thanks everyone! Eggs seems doable, I like the idea of batch baking and then there is literally no prep on a morning! Or I could do eggs maybe with a slice of multigrain bread/toast or something? I also like the sound of the cereal bar thing too! Hopefully will work out pretty cheap. Is there any other cold meal…

Hi! Well I'm unsure of my exact calorie allowance... I'm thinking around 1900, but MFP has calculated it at 1450ish which doesn't seem right to me as a 6'1 female, 238 pounds, 22 years old and I'm quite active! I'm going to target around 1900-2000 I think. I prefer smaller breakfasts that are easy to prepare, probably eat…

I'm up for more friends! Particularly anyone trying xumba for xbox as their main exercise?

It's definetely about baby steps! This much I know for sure! It's so over whelming looking at the numbers and wondering where and how to begin. I've put my display picture as a picture of me at 170lbs, to try and motivate me. This was only 2 years ago! And now I avoid cameras like the plague. This needs to change, I need…

Salmon tagliatelle :) It tastes so creamy that it feels it should be fatty, but it's not. A medium-large portion is about 450 calories and really satisfying. It's a recipe in a book i have at home, but all you do is: Makes 2 portions: weigh out 130g wholewheat/brown dried tagliatelle. boil in salted water for 10 mins. melt…

Meeeeee CW: 210 GW: 150-160 (will see how I look/feel when I get closer to goal!) This is my 3rd time around of MFP, so although I have friends on my list, they're all inactive for the most part so if anyone's looking for friends, feel free to add (My MFP page is pretty desolate atm!) :)

I suppose it depends on your lifestyle really! Last year, I did about 3,000 steps per day and even that felt like a struggle. I lived right across the road from my uni, next door to a large supermarket and in the centre of town so I barely walked anywhere really. This year, I have a dog. I take him out for 20 minutes 3…

I would create foods that look, taste, smell like all of the yummy things that most overweight people seem to crave, but have the nutritional and calorific value of nil. Of course I would make these foods ultra expensive so that people didn't live on these foods (and of course make my millions) but I would bet many people…

Hi WhisperAnne! :) I'm Jade, 20Y/O from the north east of the UK. I'm 6'0, femaile and my current weight is 215lbs. I'm hoping to lose about 55 pounds to get back to my goal weight of 160 pounds. I'll send you a friend request! Today is my third attempt at losing weight and first day back at MFP :) x

I always use my phone whilst on machines. I pay for my membership just like you do, therefore I can use the machines in any way I wish to. If I'm walking on a treadmill and using my phone to text or I'm running on the treadmill and talking to someone, I will do it. And in fact, if I see someone waiting impatiently next to…

My partner just so happens to be 6'2", but I wouldn't say it was particularly difficult. Although I will say that although shorter men definitely show interest in me and show that they are attracted to me, I do think their is an element of intimidation and domination that prevents them from acting on it. I am mostly…

I thought I was 6'0" up until 4 weeks ago, and then I switched doctors and the nurse had to weigh and measure me. I am actually 6'1"! & also a female from the UK :) I have lost 11lbs since January (started my journey at the end of January) and began at 208, and as of four days ago I now weigh 199. My ultimate goal is to…

Wouldn't really say anything does bother me. My friend hates seeing people walk slowly on it, she hates people attaching the safety chord to themselves and having to watch the excess string sway back and forth whilst they are running, she hates hearing people panting, she hates seeing people wipe sweat from their head with…

I live in the north east of England (UK) and most of the ladies changing rooms here like in sports direct, H&M etc are ridiculous. They have designed them with the idea of being able to see the tops of peoples heads in mind, so that if anyone is in there it will prevent the embarrassment of opening a curtain on someone…

My boyfriend currently has the same issue, however has no intention of giving it up. Have you heard of pro plus? Drink water during the day instead, and if you seem to be having withdrawls and have a headache, take some paracetamol and some pro plus (pro plus is basically a pill of caffeine). Eventually you won't need…
