Hi everyone, I am mummy to two girls. I have been on this journey since December 2010. I havent reached my primary goal yet have been stuck hovering for a year, trying to find the best way to move forward. I work in central London and eldest goes to school in Covent Garden, she is my only limiting factor for meeting up...…

Can I suggest Cafe Vergnano There is one on Charing Cross Road just up from Leicester Square tube station. Or their south bank or holborn ones are bigger stores. (chx one has no toilets its that small) Their coffee is amazing and the chocolate is worth a days worth of calories!!!!!…

If you go to this website it might answer some of your questions http://www.paralympics.org.uk/about-us/faqs

There is an additional personal trainer program which does cost but you dont need it to use fitbit. you will need a pc with internet access to sync fitbit to your account and to charge it. It doesn't count steps when riding a bike - what you can do is log the activity - so press the button to start when you start riding…

I've had mine since February and it has helped me lots. My work is changable on a daily basis, I drop my daughter off and collect her from school before/after work I use a hire bike to cover part of the route, Some days I can be sat at a desk for a few hours just doing paperwork other days I don't even get to check my…

I am lucky enough to be there almost everyday - I am a Medical Team Gamesmaker, based at Riverbank for the hockey. Long hours but I am going to miss it, last shift on Friday. I wear a fitbit and the other night before it reset I had got to 30,500 steps and I wasnt home - lots of walking.

I have just got a gazelle freestyle as husband has knee and heel issues, this looked best option to get him started and it was less than £15! But we didnt get any instruction manuals or the dvds. Can anyone scan the manual for me, we cant get the time/distance bit on the machine to start and there is a magnet thing which…

long suffering Dolphins fan here. Wish I could see the games, but I refuse to pay for three sky channels to get the one I need to see any. Only good thing we got to see them play at Wembley the first time they brought a season game here in 2007

Hi Sarah, I love your post! I work full time, toddler wrangle a three year old, have a five year old who thinks she is a teenager, a husband who's motto in live is growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional! Plus trying to study for a degree and get fit - loose weight. Sometimes things have to give.... If you look…

I find it ironic that you need a hand out to buy milk but you still can spend cash on smoking - sorry maybe its a different take on life!

I have seen women in the supermarket using vouchers to get milk for their child and then walking to the tobacco kiosk to buy cigarettes! If you don't have enough money to buy milk for your child there is no way you can afford to smoke. A lot of people are starting to think that we should not give out cash for beinfits. Pay…

Here in the UK its the opposite they are trying to cut down the number of c/s as they are doing too many, we have had all sorts of daft rumours by teenagers getting pregnant to try and get a c/s or even starting to smoke as they had been told it would mean their baby would be small and therefore easier to deliver! I had an…

I was overweight before I got pregnant with both my girls due to PCOS being undiagnosed for over ten years. I didn't diet, just careful about what I ate, I knew that it would not be good for me to gain lots so my target based on extensive research was not more than 1 Stone (14lb). I gained 9lb with first and 7lb with…

I am 5'4" too currently trying to get my head around the fact my weight has been stuck at 188-192 For six months! I started at 232 January 2011. Hoping at some point to get around 145 and work back from there if it suits, I have always been large (very large chest) Not 100% convinced I would not look really I'll at…

I am based in London. Been on MFP for about a year. Have a full time job as well as child wrangling, so I don't post everyday, although I log on and read everyday. Happy for anyone to add me if they like. Edited typo!

I struggled with infertility for over ten years before having my first daughter. On the support site my name was auntietigger as I love tigger and I'd just become an aunt. My eldest has red hair and bounces like a tigger hence I changed to tiggermummy to reflect that.

I've been on MFP for over a year but I am struggling. My weightloss stalled last year and I put that down to loosing my mum, but six months on and I canno't get past loosing the same 5lbs over again. I have done more research and found I was under eating which I didn't realise. I have looked at many different websites to…

I was a 38 KK at best fit which was the wires two inches off my cleavage. Two refits latter I am now in a 34 JJ So I have lost two back sizes and four cup sizes

with regard to the activity levels - it always says about doing sports/gym 3 times a week etc. But I have lots of numbers and not many answers. I know from averaging three different sites my BMR is 1549 working out my average TDEE = 2350 which is based around my life/job etc not any planned exercise - should I discount the…

The problem I'm finding is getting the numbers to balance. I have hit the dreaded plataeu and I am struggling to get off it, and I am almost at the point of giving up. I've lost/gained the same 5lbs for the last six months. At first I put it down to the sudden death of my mum but its been a while. I got a fitbit ultra and…

Bumping for feedback.....

I lost my first stone (14lb) just using the wii and balance board. I still use it now although I struggle with the time to spend on it, but I have made it more difficult for me by using a riser for the board to sit on so it is higher off the ground - it won't record your weight correctly soI just lift it on after I have…

I am a walker - and I have no inclination to try running - I don't get the same enjoyment out of it. I walk at a fast pasce, swing my arms as well and even when I am not "trying" to walk fast I do have to try and slow down for my children. They are starting to enjoy walking too, we walked home the other weekend at their…

I also have virtually no sense of smell. I can smell petrol and friesas but nothing else - weird. I had my tonsils & and adenoids removed as a child because they were physically too big and caused airway obstruction issues. My Eldest daughter had to have hers removed for the same reason when she was 2.5, and my youngest…

Bumping for a read later

yes

I admit it was nearly 14 years ago.... we had church wedding with 250 guests and we got change out of £3000. Definatly the more you can do yourself the cheaper you can make it. My friends made a lot of it possible. I designed and made the inviations and order of services. Didnt bother with save the date, just sent the…

yep power walker here (waving) I started walking short distances then went a bit longer, then tried a bit faster. I signed up to do a walking half marathon last october for cancer resaerch and I also started to do parkrun (google it for website) timed 5k every saturday at 9 am - and its free I did the half marathon in 3hrs…

Fingers crossed that all the changes I've made over the last couple of weeks means I can make some progress. Starting weight : 185.8 Goal for end feb - 180 would be nice. I'll post some of my measurements when I get home tonight. I am going to try and start p90x, or do a mix of 30day shred and wii-fit workouts.

I would like to try and join you all. I seem to struggle as soon as I sign up for a challenge, My weight loss has only just started moving again after four months, I have a conference to go to at the end of March, some of the people I will see there I haven't seen in over two years, So it would be nice to surprise them…
