Hi there :) I log everyday and will be for the foreseeable so please anyone feel free to add me, always happy for the support!! x

I have looked up eBay and the cheapest FitBit of any type I can get is the FitBit zip for £40 which seems a lot when it doesn't measure steps on carpet (would say I spend 60-70% of my time on that)

that's absolutely amazing *high five* to you!!

I've from Glasgow :) feel free to add! I'm starting back on hereafter 5 months of no healthy eating x

I lowered my dosage to 500mg myself and gonna stick with that for a week before increasing back up to 1000mg. Hope it goes well for you. I still have diahorrea but hoping that'll calm down soon! I'll give you an add so we can support each other while we're getting used to it :)

oh my goodness thank you so much for posting this thread - was literally just about to post one very similar. I started on 1000mg/day of metformin and I feel ravenous all the time, tired, diahorrea and gassy .. Can anyone tell me if this is normal? And if so will it stop? Also does anyone think I should increase my cals…

Hi Katie, I have added you as a friend. I started MFP 6 weeks ago now and have lost 15lbs so far. I can honestly say its amazing. I have been a yoyo dieter all my life and have tried every diet out there but this is by far the best. I try to support all my friends on here as much as possible cos i can guarantee whatever…

Yeah I always eat a cereal bar before I start. My Day 3 wasn't as bad though - didnt feel as sick. I've started using 3lb weights instead of 4lb :) x

Just completed Level 1, Day 2 - still hating it. Is it normal to feel sick and really dizzy afterwards?? I'm worried these workouts are pushing my body a wee bit too far! Also have just realised the weights I've been using are 2kg, not 2lbs!!! I'm so stupid lol.

Hi guys! I weigh 219lbs & im 5"2. Just completed day 1 of my 30 day shred and I thought I was going to die!! It's so intense but in a weird way good! Need to get this weight off me. I started the 8th April 2013 and so far have list 8.2lbs. I'm not sure I can do the shred every day - I think I'll need to start with every…

Are all the levels on you tube? What's the name of the channel you get them on?

don't think we're doing starters. - just straight in to the main which I'm pleased about! Think I'm gonna go with a tomato based pasta dish with a side salad! I've burnt about 800 cals this week and haven't eaten them back so I'm thinking that could maybe help compensate :) olive oil is v. high in cals unfortunately :/ but…

that sucks @rainghirl but thanks for the great advice whatever I get I'll deff be ordering the side salad :D and by the looks of things there isn't any sorbet for dessert which I was holding out for but hey ho - will just been to do plenty of exercise haha. haha unfortunately @neanderthin I don't drink and if I did I doubt…

Hi everyone Thanks for your replies! You're right I do want to enjoy myself (and the food ;)) but I'll try and keep it limited. I was gonna go for the plain chicken breast with spaghetti in olive oil dressing (I think that's what it was lol) but I'll try and stick with tomato based things. It's sucks it doesn't give…

Hey :) I started my journey on Monday 8th April so woohoo one week anniversary ad I've lost 4 pounds so far. I know the first stretch of the journey is the hardest but I just want to tell you that it is so worth it (even after my first week I can say that lol). I'm wanting to lose about 60lbs so I feel your pain. Please…

Thank you so much to everyone :) you are all very kind. And @marysowter don't know how my family would feel about that without meals :P it isn't a chore for me - I genuinely love to do it :)

Thanks everyone! I'm a student so im not having to leave the house extra early. atm im usually up about 10am but like @chasetwins i cant face food. i could easily go all day without eating if i dont start! (and when i was at college i used to do this cos i was embarrassed to eat in front of others because of my size but…

@chriswhudson I don't go near any pills etc, have tried them in the past and its made no difference. I have a pedometer app on my iPhone and it counts my steps, distance, speed, cals burnt etc. thanks everyone for your replies! And feel free to add me as a friend :)

Thanks guys :)! I'm my 2nd day in and I'm not feeling the way I usual feel on my day 2 of dieting (sluggish, grumpy, hungry) and like you said @marysowter its about eating healthily. I absolutely hate fruit - the feeling and texture of it makes me gag (this was the case even when I was thin) so I'm planning on eating lots…
