  • <3 true inspiration <3 Keep up the good work! :D xxxx
  • Just to put this one out there... Stress is a major factor in my weight. Recently, due to high stress levels I seem to have yo-yo'd in weight! (My eating habits haven't really changed, yet I am bloating like a pregnant hippo with trapped wind!!) I am trying my hardest to de-stress, stay calm and get as much sleep as I…
  • Hey hun! Im in the UK, 22, I started at 10 stone (before MFP), now nearing 8 stone 11! It has been a great journey! My best tips are: Weigh everything! I didn't realise just how much I was eating until I started weighing it accurately! I was eating the same portions as my 6'3, heavy lifting boyfriend. (I'm 5' and waaaay…

  • Weigh everything! I didn't realise just how much I was eating until I started weighing it accurately! I was eating the same portions as my 6'3, heavy lifting boyfriend. (I'm 5' and waaaay too lazy for my own good!) And, don't go hungry! You're more likely to binge and your body wont thank you for starving! Don't think of…
  • Love this... I know images are photoshopped but can never figure out which parts! Could you post images that are more natural too? (It's nice to have something to compare to.. if there are any 'natural', lesser tweaked images)
  • MyM0wm0w... this genuinely made me smile!!! Real perspective on life... thank you :D Thanks everyone for all your support. Having had a lie down, a cereal bar and a glass of milk (my guilty pleasure) I feel much better! *feeling the love* <3
  • Hey hun!! I study with the Open University, so I study my degree from home. Unfortunately this means if the systems aren't working there is no one around to help you out (by the time you get through to your tutor or the helpdesk the session has already closed!) Thank you all for the hugs... I will do y deep breathing and…
  • That is gross... I also hate the people who sweat all over the machines, and don't bring a towel to wipe the equipment down! Just what I wanted for my workout... sticky stranger sweat!! EW!!! Also, the summer is closing in so the gym is mad busy (Ive started working out at home now because of it!) the gym is packed full of…

  • Congratulations on your bundle of joy! Lots of extra exercise, running round after a lil tot!! ;) LOL You can add me if you like, I log on every day and like to add random notes of encouragement to my friends :D (That applies to all MFP users, if you would like to add me that's cool!)
  • Thank you! (Sounds so common sense when you say it like that :) )
  • Thank you for your advice!! I know it's a deficit, but she is struggling to eat 1600 calories, let alone telling her to try 2070!! LOL Should I recommend her eating 2070 calories, or does she need to increase her intake slowly? (2 weeks ago she was eating only 800 calories) :)
  • Erm... Im about 20 in on one leg, does anyone else find their hip seems to 'pop' with every lift?!? Im a bit concerned!!! hmmm... interesting... I 'pop' on one side, and get crippling cramp in the other! :(
  • I REALLY need to stick with it this weekend! It has been a pretty bad week for me (food and exercise wise!) so need to stay focussed. I tend to fall off the wagon when I go to stay at my Mums, she is a terror for buying food each day, so there is nothing in the house until she gets home from work... the temptation is to…
  • Im in... If you don't hear from me in a couple of hours I may have got stuck on the floor, but will try to crawl back to the computer to update you!! LOL
  • Here is the link to the C25K site... http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/c25k/Pages/get-running-with-couch-to-5k.aspx all you need are some trainers and an MP3 player... have fun!! ;)
  • I remember my first week 1 run... I felt like I was about to cough up both lungs, my face was on fire and my knees felt like they had been hit with a hammer! Today I did week 7 run 2, that's 25 minutes of solid running! It feels amazing!! I will admit I haven't always had time to do 3 runs a week, so it has taken 9 weeks…
  • @kindasortache... thank you, Im 7 years older than her! ;) (PS I did have to google it lol)
  • Looking in the mirror! I lost 6 pounds in my first week and have stayed that weight for about 3 weeks now. The scales may not be moving but my body still looks different. My stomach is flatter, and love handles are disappearing and I have lost 2 inches off my waist. The scales are only half the battle. As long as I am…
  • I live with a true crap food addict. My other half of 6 years has the WORST sweet tooth!!! If it is high in sugar he will eat it!! Cookies are now a common place grocery in our house! He loves all fast food! We used to have take out at least once a week. We would eat huge slabs of cake, because we didn't want to throw it…
  • Absolute star... true inspiration!!
  • Is there any way for her to lose weight more quickly? pcastagner mentioning 'long haul', Im just concerned she may become disheartened before she sees any real results. (I realise she has only been calorie counting for a couple of weeks, but she swears when she started weight watchers 4 years ago she lost 8 pounds in her…
  • Soooo true!!! TNP sings like no one can hear them....
  • Yeah, Im with all of the above! The people on here are amazing! They will listen when youve had a bad day, there are no critisms if you go over your limits... and everyone is a bit nuts (trust me, it's the biggest comfort there is!) I feel as though I am logging everything accurately, and it doesnt take a lot of fuss and…
  • Deuteronomy 31:8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those…
  • I am going on holiday in four weeks and I am looking forward to wearing cropped tops, hopefully with a flat, toned, non-wobbly belly!
  • Woop woop!! GO YOU!!! Keep doing what youre doing!!!

  • YES!!! The first run I did I felt like my lungs were trying to crawl out of my throat and my chest ached for hours afterwards!! (Genuinely felt like death!) However, Im now on week 5 and running (and I mean RUNNING!) In 8 minute blocks! I feel amazing! Keep going, dont give up. Once you hit week 3 you'll definitely feel…
