Thanks for the tips, I think I just about tick all of them, but its reassuring that I'm doing the right things... I was talking to a colleague about it and she said it sounded like I'd got a dose of baby brain, lets hope it doesn't last longer than 9 months!

What a great result, it sounds like you've made a major shift in your thinking and have seen amazing progress over the year. Very inspiring.

great to hear someone's sucess story of slow and steady, I'm convinced that its the best way to go for long term permenant weightloss, but I do get a little disheartened from time to time when I read the "I dropped a 100 in 6 months" stories. Thanks for restoring my faith. Congratulations on the results of your hard work…

Over 50 here too and the weight is coming off slow and steady. Lifestyle change, creating new habits and not trying to be perfect have all worked well for me. Happy to accept friends requests.

Welcome back, sounds like you've set yourself some very realistic goals, I'm back for another attempt and finding it a little easier this time as I'm focusing on the health benefits and treating the weight loss as an added bonus. Work on progress and not perfection and you won't go to wrong. If you're looking for…

Feel free to add me always looking for a little mutual support

Yes it is possible, slow and steady especially if you look at it as a lifestyle change, I've found that changing the type of food I eat, cutting out as much processed food as possible and eating good nutritious food has also massively improved my symptoms, its definitely been worth the effort... Feel free to add me as…

My up has just started to sync food again, although a couple of days are missing, so looks like the problem is fixed

Hi, I try for 10,000 steps a day, some days I find it incredibly easy while other days it is a real challenge, it would be good to have and to offer some support and share tips and strategies. I'm a jawbone user, but I'm sure there would be a way to link them so please feel free to add me as a friend, same goes for anyone…

What a great transformation. Very inspiring, thanks for posting

so its not just mine then!

I'm still waiting for my replacement, it been over a month, but its finally out for delivery,so fingers crossed. I had to chase them every step of the way, so I'm not desperately impressed with their customer service. I only charged my original band via my PC but it still died, although I did wear it in the shower. To be…

I'm still waiting to here from them, I reported the band broken two weeks ago, they were 'validating the warrantee' then nothing, not impressed with their customer service at all! I had problems with the battery, suddenly crashed and then wouldn't recharge at all. I'm gutted as I really loved my up

mine died last week, waiting for a replacement, how old was yours, only had mine since June

Hi and welcome I'm not on HRT, I've been advised against it as I have bad menstrual migraines. I'm hoping that a clean diet and plenty of exercise might help, but it's very hit and miss and to date has only had limited impact on my symptoms. I know a lot of people have had some really positive results with HRT, so I hope…

I'm using the Jawbone up, which I love. I have definitely found it a great help at understanding my calories consumption. I think the calories burnt through MFP can be a little misleading and lull you into thinking you're perhaps more active than you actually are ( well in my case at least) By using one of these trackers…

I think your right in thinking about food being a fuel and wanting to improve the quality of what you eat but you must enjoy your food as well, you won't last long if you're only eating stuff you don't really like. Try and eat food that you find both tasty and nutritious and base your diet on that otherwise it will feel…

Hi and welcome to you all, been here a couple of months myself - hot flashes-I have used progesterone cream and it helped with night sweats, not had any day time 'tropical moments' yet but I've heard black cohosh can be helpful. As for loosing weight I think you'll find lots of people on here that are finding it hard, but…

Hi Like Helen, I track food on MFP and exercise on the UP, I think I'm getting a much more realistic view of how little I can actually move in a day so the functions like idle alert and some of the daily challenges are good. I think it's useful to get some friends in the same time zone because if you want to compete on…

Good luck, You sound very determined so I'm sure you will do it. But whatever the result enjoy your holiday

I do wonder why just the juice and not the whole fruit or veg, wouldn't it be more filling and satisfying and require you to consume much less if you did have the whole thing. I did notice that they were juicing several apples just for one drink and I don't ever remember eating more than one apple at a time. I was really…

Hi I'll add you too

I'm from Warrington too

Hi, I'm quite new to this too and have only just found the UK site, It would be good to have some UK friends, so I hope people don't mind if I send you all friend requests. Angela

Thanks for taking the time to answer, I will experiment a little more with the timer and see what happens to the calorie count

Hi Tom I'm UK based as well, would be good to have a team mate in the same time zone Angela

Hi Dana, I'm happy to add you, I'll send a request . I've had mine just over a week and I'm still trying to find my way round it, particularly the logging exercise bit Angela

Hi I think you can do either but if you search an email address then the persons name will come up and it's not always obvious the link between the two please feel free to add me I should be under angela arthur or angelaarthur10@icloud.com same goes to anyone else trying to build up their team, I've only just got my up so…

Hi, I'm fairly new around here too and I can relate to the' fed up of being fat and tired'. I'm hoping by getting involved in the MFP community will give me the tools and support to make some real changes in my lifestyle, but I'm realistic that 50 years of bad habits are not going to stop overnight. I'm working on the diet…
