You are an amazing inspiration!!! Cannot believe that a year has passed since that party, you should be so unbelievably proud of everything you have done/achieved in the past 12 months. It is not just your weight loss and your improvements in health and well being, but the fact that you have paid it forward buckets loads…

Aw sweetie....a virtual hug coming your way!! That's me too...always ate crap on the road, but you've moved on now!!!! happy times :bigsmile:

Cat pee diet?? What is that??

You are a great support to all your MFP friends...an you should be very proud of dusting yourself off and getting back on it!! Its a journey and its not always going to be an easy one, and you're not always going to be in the right place to focus on losing weight, but its damage limitation and getting back on that wagon as…

It has been a quiet few months on the forums...think everyone is enjoying their summer hols (minus the sun!!!) Think my excessive eating on holiday caught up with me, put on 3lbs....so trying to keep focussed, there is so much more temptation in the summer months!!! Looking forward to darker nights and less temptation.…

Cheers Rosy - good to have you back on the UK forum, hope you get back on track - the exercise challenge is a good idea!! I'm good at working out regularly but its the food that gets me, so I'm trying to have the things I fancy on my exercise days!! Hannah - It must feel so good to be at goal, i'm planning on going a pound…

Hi all, Been off track for a few weeks, although haven't gained but need to get back on track before I do!!! Hope everyone is doing well with their weight loss etc :bigsmile: Em

:smile: Sound nice

It is a great blog....really helpful!!!

Thanks everyone!! I am just sitting it out at the moment!! Started this week with a new calorie goal so hopefully will get off this plateau some time soon :smile:

That is very sweet!!!

Hi all, Cheers for your help and suggestions!!! I have been using the weighing machine in the gym which measures body fat and since March I have reduced my body fat from 33.9% to 29.4%, so I know i'm doing something right :laugh: I think i'll reduce my target weight loss to 0.5lb a week, am feeling so so so much better…

Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds fab!!! Will def give that a go:bigsmile:

Very inspiring.....and so so so true!!!:flowerforyou:

You don't need to wish anything, you're 24lbs lighter than you were two months ago....that is amazing!! Love what you've done and focus on what other fantastic things you will achieve over the next two months!!!

I'm sure those girls have their own insecurities and hang ups which is why they're in a gym working out!! Or they may have previously been bigger and have worked equally as hard as you to get in the shape they are in now. I feel the same when i'm covered in sweat and extremely red and puffy and others look like they are…

Thanks Mairgheal and backinthenines... Mairgeal you should try it, a few years back I couldn't run for more than two mins!!! just start small!!:smile: jbenton......It is hard getting used to calorie counting but it definately works, most weeks i've lost (apart from when the wine finds me:embarassed: ) emma...I started at…

Just had a new running PB...3 miles in 27 mins and 50 seconds!! This half marathon training is going well.......so far:laugh: Hope everyone is having a good week with food and exercise:bigsmile:

Huge congrats Mairgheal!!!:flowerforyou: Aiming to get there end of August!! I agree sparrow_feet about the buffer...i will def be doing that.

Backinthenines - great advice!!! I felt exactly the same when I started weighing portions, I realised how carb heavy my diet was pre-MFP!! I think I had convinced myself that I had a reasonably healthy diet before!! I log everything...it makes you accountable!!!:smile:

We can motivate each other through our half marathon training!!!:bigsmile: At the moment i'm aiming towards 10st 5lb so i'll be in normal, can't see me wanting to lose more weight after that!! Had a running PB in the gym today, shaved 1 minute of my 3 mile run and did it in 29mins...woop woop:bigsmile: backinthenines -…

I think 20 mins on the eliptical is good going!!!:smile: You can set yourself targets to increase that by a minute each week, you'll be doing 40 minutes before you know and will be handy when winter comes and you don't fancy walking in the rain!! Or you can start doing 1 minute runs towards the end of your walks, i'm sure…

Weighwars - the Cardiff Half is great...did it 2009 but missed out 2010 so will def be doing it 2011!! Just bought some new trainers to start some outdoor training!! I've been doing a bit of the gaining and losing the same few pounds of late, really determined to get back on track in June got no distractions…

I'm from Cardiff...been on here a few months and has the forums have been fab for support!!

Although its the 7th and no one has yet started one!! Everyone has been clearly enjoying the sun too much :bigsmile:

Some generally starts a new thread every month, and we just chat about random stuff, goals etc!! Made a few UK friends from the forums....there are some on here for the past few months if you want to have a look!!!:bigsmile:

Can't find a new thread either....so here is the link to one I started, hope to see you all there...... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/258598-team-uk-ireland-june-2011 :flowerforyou:
