Hi, I need a fitness pal as well. I had a horse, but no more. She was beautiful and none could replace her. I tried again with a handsome bay cob, but my heart wasn't in it. Because I don't do the horse lifestyle any longer, I have gained weight and have become so unfit its not true! (I never realised what aids to health a…

Hi, and welcome. I'm in Yorkshire as well. :D Wakefield.

'Marilyn Monroe wore a size 12.' And didn't she look fabulous....... Womanly.

WOW -you are all so inspirational. I realise you are all on week 18, and I'm on week 1 (again) - but can I join? I definately qualify for the 200+ club.

Those are brilliant pictures - I've never experienced snow like that, we did well a month ago to have 10" of snow, LOL. The country ground to a halt....... or got faster and couldn't stop because we ran out of road salt :D Those pictures are beautiful, and I hope you get the summers to match the winters.

Thankyou, lots to thinks about there. I've seen the C25K on iTunes and wondered about it...... I'll get some proper shoes and start moving. Thanks again.

If your weight loss is not at the goal eg 1.5 lb, instead of a predicted 2lbs, will the projected weight loss alter?

I love half term, you really need it and the kids are on their knees, esp the long push from September to Christmas. We get 6 weeks in the Summer, but after a week, it's as though you've never been away......

I don't know if my DVD will be available i the US - It's by Davina McCall, and it's called 'Davina-Fit'. I went riding today and it was coooolld! I'm hoping that you burn more calories keeping warm. Plenty of trotting! Riding is mostly about 'Core' strength and balance. Not cardio and therein lies my problem :D I've found…

Hi, I'm new to this thread. I teach in the UK and I teach Receprtion/Year 1 (5-6yearsold in their 2nd year of school). We've just had some 'snow days' - and there is h*ll to pay, LOL. Some parents in our Education Authority have started a petition to get schools to NOT close for half term holiday (5 days in february) to…

I started my exercise DVD and was appalled at how my legs don't move! I do a lot of walking in my life, but athletic I am not! I don't do running/jumping etc. So now when I go up and down the stairs, I try to go quickly to make my legs move :D I've decided to call mucking out the horse 'gardening' to get it into the…

Walking in heels makes the balls of my feet burn..............not nice

Personally, I find walking in heels more difficult than flats. It's the balance. I stand up straighter, and engage my core muscles to try and keep my balance. You can tell I've thought about this :D I always a greater difficulty = more calories burned. Don't think it would be many though.

I had chocolate yesterday - Green and Blacks white chocolate. 2 small bars (35g) but oh so nice....

Hi, I live in West Yorkshire. I'm new as well and didn't realise there were so many of us from this side of the water. Thought it was a mainly US site. Wonderful to know you.

Danone Activia. I could eat that as a posh dessert, it's lovely, esp cranberry and fig flavours Used to do Muller Light but they are very sweet and not very creamy.

Thankyou, I've never measured in 'cups' before (except bra sizes :D)

Just found this thread (just finding a lot of things LOL, new to mfp). I'd like to join. Does anybody else find it harder to lose weight since you turned 40? (I'm 47 btw)

Good question, I've been wondering that as well....... :D thanks for the answer. What about solid food though? I love mango, and mfp gives calories acc to a cup of mango....???? any suggestions?

Baked sweet potato. Baked potato. salad

Hi, I'm new too, and am day 2 :D. I live in the UK and we're having the worst winter for 40 years - never seen so much snow. My plants are most definately dead! :(
