I've lost another 1.3lb so I'm 8.1lb down so far... only another 21.9lb to meet my Christmas goal

I've lost another 1.3lb this week.... so now at 8.2lb loss since 26th July!

I'm in too.... was at the gym 5 days out of 7 last week (and other exercise the other days) and want to try to get a similar figure this week.

All I can tell you is that I'm experiencing the same thing so it must be common (I've only been on here for about 2.5 weeks). I've had a really healthy week and done lots more exercise than I ever have before, but the weight hasn't come off. If we stick at it I'm sure the scales will catch up with our healthiness!

I'm having a bit of a nightmare... have been going to the gym lots (5 times in the last week), have been eating 1200 calories + some of my exercise calories all week... and I've not lost a thing, in fact I've put nearly 1lb back on. I'm guessing my weight just needs some time to catch up with what I'm doing, but its really…

Hiya I'm Nessa from London. I've been on here for a couple of weeks and have lost about 7lb. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want some company on here :happy:

I've never heard of banana and mayo sarnies (I'm from the UK) and have to say it doesn't appeal at all!! I haven't had a banana sandwich for years but as a child I used to love it sliced and with a teaspoon of sugar over it (for the crunch) on white bread with a scraping of butter.

I log each thing individually. If you're making it for 4 then weigh everything and divide it by 4 and then enter it into the food diary. It takes a while to do it but its worth it.

I love Greek salad Tomatoes (either a big beef tomato cut into chunks or cherry / baby plum ones cut in half), cucumber cut into chunks, crumbled feta cheese, black olives (I don't like olives so I miss this out and add a little extra cheese!), lettuce. Put it into a bowl and then sprinkle a little dried oregano or other…

I want to get fit to have a baby too... I'll add you as a friend and we can motivate each other to get to our goals!!

I joined right at the end of July... so can I sneak in this one???

Well done you, you look great!

I've just replied to someone else's post asking about this. I have no idea what part of my arm / thigh to measure etc

I'd like to do measurements, but I struggle to work out where to do arms / thighs... is it just above the knee and elbow joints of do I have to try to work out some significant mark on me and measure there???

OK.... this is a silly question, but where on the arms / thighs do you measure?

That's great!! I did over 1 hour on the exercise bike at the gym yesterday. Up until a couple of weeks ago I couldn't even do 15 mins (I have a bad knee and it was hurting on the bike). There were a number of times I thought that I was tired and wanted to give up but I just pushed on with it... over 600 calories of…

I'll add you as a friend. I need all the motivation and help I can get. I'm better at motivating others than myself :noway:

I haven't been on this weight loss journey long enough to give you any advice, but I just wanted to give you hugs and say don't give up. You need to find something that will work for you. I'm sure there are lots of people on here that will know what to suggest but maybe it would be a good idea to speak to a GP or a…

I've only been on here a couple of weeks... feel free to add me as a friend ;-)

My weigh in day is Saturday and I've lost 2lb already this month (and 6.9lb over all). Would really like to get to 10lb loss this month but not sure how likely that will be.

If you're making dishes like chilis serve them with a large portion of green veg instead of the rice and add some other veg into the chili. I made it last week - made enough for 4 portions which each worked out at about 300 calories and then instead of doing rice, one day I served it with a large courgette (zuccini) which…

Well done you!! Today I did 45 mins on the exercise bike.... I used to only be able to do about 10 mins without it hurting too much.

I'm in London too.... not sure how many of us are from the UK

I get that too if I've been doing lots of exercise. I always assumed it was lactic acid in the muscles but don't really knwo!

I probably have a similar amount to lose so if you want to add me as a friend we can get through this together! I've lost 6lb since I started back on here on 26th July and I'm hoping to have lost 10lb in August (so another 8.5lb to go)

I'd like to join in too if that's OK.... I'd like to lose 10lb this month.... I know thats a lot but its the first month of me doing this and so I'm hoping that I will have a bit of a kick start. I'm 1.3lb down already.... The only problem is that I am going over to Chicago to see my best friend for a week. I'm going to…

Count me in too! I'd like to lose 30lb by Christmas if at all possible! 4.5 months... I'm hopeful that I can do it! I've lost 6lb in the last week and a half. Feel free to add me as a friend as I'm fairly new on MFP

Thats great! You are doing so well! I want to have the same responses from people ;-)

Hiya I'll add you as a friend. I'm Nessa and I live in London. I'm 37 and have got a fair bit to lose but I'm hoping MFP will help me get there. I'd love to lose 25lb by the beginning of Dec like you! Nessa

I'm in South West London... so maybe quite close to you sunshine79!
