I am 5ft 8 and just under 200lbs, aiming for 140lbs. Ambitious? Maybe. Determined? Definitely. UK sizes are different - my goal is to be a size 10 in this country. And you know what? I'm going to get there and then I shall post before and after photos to show you all:smile:

Hello there! rather than think of your weight loss as being 7 stones, divide it up into manageable chunks and reward yourself (in a non-food way) for every half stone - you won't get disheartened that way. Welcome to MFP:flowerforyou:

Lose the weight, and see how you look before worrying too much. Small boobs on a small body are good. And there are tons of push-up, underwired, gel type bras around for smaller chested ladies. I reckon you will be pleasantly surprised By the way, I think your friend's comment was a bit out of order, did she realise how…

I don't log my beverages either:embarassed: But I drink black coffee, herbal tea, and sparkling water, nothing else. Surely the calories in those drinks are minimal?

How fantastic to see so many of us from the UK on here. I used to use weight loss resources but couldn't afford the site fees:grumble: I couldn't believe my luck when a colleague told me about MFP - it's fantastic and FREE. I am from Derbyshire and weigh 14 stone 4 lbs (sounds better written that way than 200lbs!) I am 5…

I like those simple steps - they are achievable! I shall start by de-cluttering my wardrobe this weekend.:smile:

What are burpees?

Don't eat the birthday cake - give it to the birds or persuade someone else to eat it. Then treat yourself to something yummy but low calorie.:drinker:

I only joined today but I am determined to get to my goal weight in a healthy and sustainable way. reading through some of the posts on these boards, it is possible, and there is lots of support for everyone.:flowerforyou:

Is there a UK version of these desserts, I wonder?

That sounds like a really fun way of working out to me. Great music!:smile:

Wow, what a welcome! I am overwhelmed. Thank you all so much. I have heard so much about this site and I am looking forward to my weight loss journey in good company now.:flowerforyou:

Thank you Autumn, I have added you - I think!!!:smile:
