Definitely find motivation from having plenty MFP friends! I've used it for a while now, currently on a 70+ day streak, exercise and food diary is open. Feel free to add me :) x

Hi there, I'm new to this group! I'm 5' 11", and 67.5kg. Looking to drop the body fat and tone up. Started properly back in January and have seen some great results already. Got my first ever proper holiday booked in June once I've graduated so that's my motivation to reach the beach body! Feel free to add me, I log food…

^ What a beautiful dog! We've always kept dogs and they've always been mongrels/rescue dogs. Would never buy a pedigree from a breeder when there are so many dogs in need of a good home. Although the best pure bred dogs are undoubtedly beautiful creatures.

I got a retired racing greyhound for my 14th birthday. Approaching 8 years later and she's still as mental as ever! My parents got a lurcher (we THINK greyhound/border collie mix) about 18 months ago. We don't know her age but reckon she's about 3. She's also bonkers, and really brings out the puppy in my old girl. Both of…

I get this too despite having proper running/training shoes that were specifically fitted for my feet. Bizarre.

Superb! I hope you begin to feel healthier and stronger :) My Mum is in her middle 50s and started hitting the gym a few times a week along with an exercise class after going through breast cancer treatment and she is looking fab. She can even plank for longer than me, but I'm happy to accept defeat!

I have been incorporating weight training into my gym routine for a wee while now. I don't use free weights, other than when I do dumbbell bicep curls. I usually stick to the leg press, leg raises, lat pull down and chest press. It helps hugely in not only weight loss but getting a bit of definition rather than just being…

The heavier the band, the bigger softy the members haha!

Suppose depends how heavy (pun entirely intended haa!). In November I travelled from Scotland all the way to the 02 Arena in London see 30 Seconds To Mars - I know they're not exactly heavy metal - but it was incredible especially as I wrangled VIP tickets! I also used to date the lead singer of a Screamo/Heavy Metal band…

A Ray Lamontagne album for my Dad's Christmas. Had his songs on repeat during exams!

Hey! I'm up in Scotland. Have managed to lose about 2 stone in the last two years. Now beginning more focussed training and nutrition to try and shift body fat and build a bit more muscle. Hoping to lose another stone, although 'lose' is probably the wrong word - I want to convert it to muscle! I combine weights with…

Spot on. This is what irritates me most when friends ask me advice on losing weight and keeping it off. They complain about sticking to a diet, and then putting any weight they've managed to lose right back on again because a diet isn't a long term fix. I always say that it's a lifestyle change, not a diet. x

I wonder if this thread was reversed and started by a man, if the same reaction would have occurred haha!

Hi there, I've just posted my introduction post but I am also from Scotland and I'm just finishing my final year of uni in Stirling :) Us Scots really do seem to have the worst diet going! x
