FR sent, I'm finding this site so useful and hope you do to x

I realise that I am managing to lose weight so far but the higher protein, lower carb system sounds like the way to go. I do expect to plateau quickly. Never really been lower than 190 lbs my whole adult life.

Inspiring and thank you, I hope you get that 50 lbs back off, I'm sure you will x

Brilliant weight losses, feeling a little bit less down about it all now *get shoes on for a more motivated walk*

I'll definitely add you if that's okay, My profile says I have lost 14 lbs but this is in 3 years :laugh: I'm back on the site and still motivated so far. And many thanks for the youtube link, I'm listening as I type

This is what I would do if I was in London http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invader_%28artist%29 Go search for these fellas, found all the remaining space invader art in Manchester, took photos and it was a massive walk and great fun. I am a nerd though

I've just re started MFP this week so at the moment I've cut out the silly things I was eating and drinking. Milkshakes and ice cream are my problems but it's amazing what typing them into a calorie checker will do for my appetite for them. I put a Friji milkshake in my basket the other day, tallied up calories and put it…

Hi there, I've just started after a bit of a break from the site at 238 pounds so your loss is motivational. Congratulations. feel free to add me. My list of friends is lacking Brits

Hi, I'm a 36 year old Brit with a lot of weight to lose. I guess I joined this group because no matter what message board I seem to read through there will be someone who says "put your faith in God" to lose weight and needed this group as a bit of an antidote from all of that. Religion has never been a part of who I am, I…

As a nomadic nurse I've lived in a few places but its probably Manchester for me...love all the indie shops and Afflecks Palace (where I spent most of my pocket money as a kid). Centre of London is wonderful but I lived in the East End and wasn't a fan in the end. Loved being a student in Liverpool...etc etc. Live in Leeds…

Think I've gained about 14 pounds in 3 weeks after quitting smoking...I'm so upset. I am thinking about food or cigarettes all the time, why am I so weak? I have to get my head together.

Yeah I'm liking it here too!

Knowing this will probably make me sound a bit obsessed but have been really inspired by Lisa Jackson's - Adore Yourself Slim! I'm usually a major reader of Sci Fi/Fantasy and Popular Science non fiction stuff

PCOS too...not got a lot of advice really as I found Metformin made me pretty unwell so had to stop taking it. It was exercise plus healthy eating that got the first 2 stone off last year but now I'm a bit plateau-y. There loads of support to be had on here....good luck with your weight loss journey x

Ello, I'm Ali from Lancashire now living in Leeds, you can add me too

I really appreciate all of your support and I give you all mine if I can! Alison

I'm technically new as well, had this application on my phone for a month or so but also decided to quit smoking (34 days smoke free and counting!) first and so healthy eating went out the window. Good luck to you and your weight loss journey xx Alison

I'm new too, quite a bit of weight to lose but loving this site, its very inspirational! Good luck everyone x
