Thanks both :) Ah great news curioustoo - go for it! :)

Loads of fab advice on here so the only thing I can add is that I often eat veggie-substitute meat as it is so much cheaper than actual meat! Chunks of 'chicken' and 'mince', and even sandwich 'meat'. Doesn't taste exactly the same as meat but with seasonings etc it's not too bad!

Very happy - 2lbs off for me this week taking me to 6 1/4 in 2 weeks! Managed 1lb loss before doing 5:2 so now just over half a stone off.

Hi all, I'm having a fast day today and a friend decided she wanted to meet up - in itself not a problem. Then she suggested lunch at Wagamama which is one of my favourite places. Well, we went and I sat there and had nothing but sparkling mineral water!!! Feeling very smug right about now hehe. Just had to share it with…

Hehe fantastic - way to go you! That is definitely a show of major dedication :) x

Feel free to add me too - I', 5 ft and have about 27lbs to lose (started with 32lbs to lose!) :)

Thank you!! Feel extra motivated thanks to this group :) x

Drum roll... ...4 1/4lbs off!! :D x

Well said!!

3rd fast of the week for me today. Thought I'd weigh myself to see how I'm getting on (official weigh in tomorrow) and I'm showing a 4.25lb loss!!! Had to jump on and off a couple of times to believe it hehe! I'm hoping with another fast day today I'll maintain that loss! Have a good day everyone :) x

Doing a 4:3 this week - already had 2 fast days and the OH offered to take me out for dinner tomorrow night but it's a fast day :( I considered scrapping it but that's what got me here in the first place! We're going to figure out a better time to do it :) x

Looking forward to catching this, looks interesting!

My goal this week is to stay focused! Lx

Hi everyone, Tried to post last night but my laptop was playing up - hopefully it'll be okay this time! I've tried 5:2 before but never made it beyond week 2, I seem to have a mental block and think I can't do it...so I'm hoping that being a member of this group will keep my motivation up to week 3 and beyond! I'd like to…

Hi there, I'm doing the 5:2 fast at the moment; I'm in week 2 and just done day 3 in total! I have to say it was harder to start than it has been to continue...I hardly felt hungry at all on my last fast day! Feel free to add me as a friend, moral support is always good! :) x

YES!!!

North Lincolnshire originally (there's a lovely documentary about my home town on channel 4 at the moment!) but now live in Oxford! :)

Hmm...doesn't sound like she's ready yet...give her some time and she might come around! She might not too though...she has to want it like you did/do and it totally sounds like she isn't there at the moment x

I aim for the 1200 mark myself - feel free to add me guys :)

Aww - feel free to add me! I have been away for a couple of weeks but back to it now. I log in daily and welcome any encouragement too! :) x

Request to join sent :) fab idea!

Oh wow what an amazing loss - congratulations!! Those pesky last few pounds are always the hardest! I'm in Oxfordshire - not too far away, feel free to add me :) Lx

Hello! I'm originally from Lincolnshire - welcome :) Feel free to add me.

I over-indulged on dessert but rather than beat myself up over it I went out and earned some calories back with a walk...ended up just under my calories for the day :)

Hi :) I'm 30 and trying to lose another 28lbs, since starting my journey I've lost about 28lbs (not all while being on MFP). Feel free to add me guys! x

Hi there, couldn't resist posting...I'm originally from just south of the river (but moved South a few years ago). Tried to write the place but it got blocked...I'm sure you can guess where that is! :)

I'm in Oxford - feel free to add me!! :)

Wow what a difference! Well done you :)

Amazing - thank you. I've just input my data (the same data I inputted into MFP) for my TDEE and it came out with about 300 calories more than MFP gives me! Made me think I'm perhaps not eating enough so I'll up my intake a bit :)
