I'm really missing multi add!

Yes! I'm a paramedic, and I weigh about 50lbs more than I did last year, when I was already overweight.

I'm losing over 100lbs total, but I'm already nearly a quarter of the way there. At one point I was thinking "omg, I can't do this!" but at the moment it's going ok

That's fantastic! I hope you don't mind, but I've shared your story on my "wall" to help a friend who's struggling with motivation

I am so proud of myself right now. I wore my new top to zumba which is an NSV in itself as now it fits! When i was there someone commented that it looks really good on me. Then we were talking about a "party in pink" in october,and i was asked if i'd gone last year. I said i hadn't as i didn't start doing zumba till march.…

I've recently got addicted to pickled eggs. They're low in calories but high in protein! If you don't want the pickleness, you could just try boiled eggs, or scrambled eggs or omelette or something.

I can't stand this any more. The other day I ate a yogurt, which I'd specifically chosen as it was high(ish) in protein. I got told off for it being high in saturated fat - but overall my saturated fat was fine. I ate some pineapple, and was told it was high in sugar. Again, my sugar overall is fine. I eat crisps and get a…

A while ago I bought a bra and it didn't fit, but it was in the sale so I didn't take it back. Now it fits! I'm also wearing a size 16 top I haven't been able to wear for years. I don't think it's a "real" size 16, but it's more the fact that it fits and didn't used to!

I have slippers at work

I don't specifically say "I have a cheat day every Friday" or whatever. but I do have a very small number of days (about 1 a month on average, but so far it's been 2 this month and none last month, so it's dictated by circumstances) where logging is pretty much impossible, so I don't concentrate on that and just have…

MFP says I burn about 750 from zumba, but my HRM says 500. I did a toning class as well on Weds, and MFP guessed over 1500, but my actual burn was half that

I've found that increasing my protein intake stops me wanting to snack as much.

I have no idea, but my mum used to make gluten free meatloaf back in the old days when gluten free breadcrumbs weren't available, and gluten free bread was really expensive (and not that nice). So maybe having a look at gluten free recipes might have some good ideas!

From Nottingham, and my diary is open to friends

I have mixed opinions about this. It made me look at my macros more, and I have realised I eat too many carbs and not enough protein. So in a way, that's good. However, it seems to only pick specific things to comment on. And it's annoying that I have the same foods picked up on every time - if I eat some oatcakes, I'm…

It's huge :-( I don't know how to make it not huge.

I've lost 30lbs and don't feel you can tell - but work colleagues don't really look that closely anyway! It's also supposed to be more difficult to notice things when you see someone every day, as they've seen you shrinking gradually.

I want to lose 100lbs in total, but I'm nearly a third of the way there :-)

After Zumba, the instructor came over and told me I'd done really well

I was coming to post this! I found them on YouTube as "walkathome". It's walking with a twist - but it is just mainly walking, so you don't need any special equipment. It's also a lot more fun than just walking on the spot.

Things like potatoes and rice are gluten free but still have carbs.

Horses can get fat on grass

I'm a couple of months into my journey, but still have a way to go.

Thanks for the warning, but they're birds

I love Angel by Theirry Mugler. I also like the Britney Spears ones and have had loads of people say they like it - until they realise it's Britney Spears

I put it down my bra. However, I did this when I did the Great North Run several years ago. I don't know if it was the fact that it was raining, or the fact that I was sweating a lot, but the phone didn't survive. The screen colours went funny, and the picture moved up about an inch. So there was a blank stripe at the…

Crumble loves crumpets. She's also recently developed a liking for Hula Hoops. Custard loves strawberries. Once, she bit Crumble just because Crumble was sitting near the pot of strawberries. Apple is very new so hasn't tried much yet, but she seems to like grapes best.

I get a lot less back ache now

I am new to this! I have just done my first 1 mile walk, and actually enjoyed it. So I have joined, and am aiming for 30 miles in April.
