What were you pronouncing it as in the first place? Life is a learning curve - English county names are someone trying to take you out with a crossbow along the way.

Grosvenor and Edinburgh also wind me up slightly. I know it's Grow-vner and Edin-borough but I can't get my head right with them.

It's the crazy English counties/towns! You ask someone in one town how they pronounce things, then 10 miles up the road they say it differently. As long as everyone has an idea of what you're referencing, no-one cares.

Only after you looked that up, right? ;)

Woost-a-sheer - easier as I'm a Midlander (UK) but it's not at all pronounced how it's spelt, annoyingly enough. Shrewsbury is also not Shrews-bury, but Shroes-bury. Special language... :P

Incongruous ended up as Incroguous the other night. Don't do crosswords at a silly time of night when you can barely speak English at the best of times XD

Good luck! I have a X360 and am looking at "borrowing" (yeah, like she'll ever get it back) my Mum's Wii so I can use the balance board. Do you have a kinect? If you want to up general "doing" movement, having 15 mins on Kinect Adventures or something is better than nothing! Or just stand up when you play/sit on a medicine…

I used it for a while before being prescribed another AD (no longer on any medication). The thing you have to watch with SJW is that, although it does work for some people, the doses are all over the place. If there's some way to find out what dose you should be taking (an informative website, for example) and you can find…

The mobile app(s?)* have weekly averages on the nutrition screen Hope that helps :) * It's on my Android, anyway
-
That's my goal for a year, pretty much :) Started about 17 and a half stone, aiming for 12st 7lbs or so You may not be able to keep up a 2lb a week weight loss for an extended period of time *but*, as someone said to me, remember that any weight lost is still weight lost! Don't worry if it's not on target, it's still…

AHAHAHA! XD How's that working out for you? I'm Faith, 23, based in the West Midlands. I've been overweight, if not obese, my whole life - not necessarily from eating junk (my favourite food is broccoli; don't judge me!) but just from overeating. So I signed up to MFP "properly" a week or two ago to log what I'm eating and…

Numbers! Numbers everywhere! Bit weird being able to have complete numerical control over things not really thought about before, but it is very addictive, isn't it? :) I'm finding myself checking the database for random foods I rarely even eat, but I'm dying to know if I'd be able to have them on restricted calorie…

Hi and welcome :) How much weight are you aiming for* and do you have any plans on how you want to try and lose it? Good luck! :D * I put a weight loss goal in based on my expected Body Fat Percentage rather than BMI, cause I'm more interested in measurements than a weight, but weight is easier to aim for ;)

Thanks everyone :) I've downloaded Sworkit (although I have a feeling if I try yoga, I'd fall over trying to do even the mountain pose) and will have a go at some of the stuff on there over the next week :) I do have a video game system, but no fitness games - best I have is Kinect Adventures and a Dance game I bought for…

Another cat profile picture! Hoorah! I see a few of those about :D I have just over 65lbs to go now. Slowly but surely. What method are you using?
-
Thanks very much for the help everyone :) I'll make a note of all the suggestions and see what I can do. I could use stairs, for example, but I live in a self contained flat so I'd probably wind the downstairs neighbours up! :D
-
Have you checked your BMR (Under Apps at the top) to see an approximate amount of how many calories you use by, well, living? My BMR is about 1900 at the moment and, from all the things I've read around here, you shouldn't really go under that as it can inhibit weight loss significantly, but just keep reducing calories…
-
I'm trying it, although I'm falling in love with counting calories in general. Thanks for the group link, I'll go join that too! Good luck Karen :)

I drink about 6 mugs of various drinks while at work, then a few at home on an evening. I found that by only drinking caffeine loaded drinks (green tea is another matter) before 1pm, it helped me have more variety in my drinks, making me appreciate them all more. I went from 2 sugar coffee (with milk) down to plain coffee…
-
Another thing is how long you want to be eating this stuff for. Most ingredients (packs of mince, chicken etc) that are prepacked come in enough for about 4 people, which if you're living on your own means you either have to freeze part of it prior to cooking (eliminating the ability to freeze it later due to…
-
I personally know what I'm going to do for at least 1 meal a day (I only eat 2, plus "snacks") then the other meal/snacks are free reign. That way, I log that meal in advance, know how many calories I have to play with the rest of the day and stick to that planned meal like my life depends on it. It means you still have…

Photos! Knew there'd be an obvious one I'd miss. Thanks :) Do you have any suggestions on how to work out BF%, without using one of those "Bod Pod" things?
