These are the ones I hear most often. I wouldn't mind but I've only lost 25lbs and am at my goal. Meh keep your opinions to yourself. My mirror works fine and I look fine thanks. You're wasting away If the wind gets up you'll blow away You look fantastic but you're not going to lose any more are you? You don't want to get…

Fitness is more than a physical challenge it's a mental one Your body keeps an accurate journal no matter what you write down.

Start straight away. My PT got me to sign up on here so he could check my diet and my first day I had a birthday meal out at a really nice restaurant so I started off in the red. It really helped to focus.

Thunder - Classic British rock at it's best. Their timing was off, they got their break just as grunge hit. 5 years earlier they'd have been massive.

42 and loving life. Don't know about hot, that's not up to me. :wink:

I hate the false positive comments: "You look amazing - but you don't want to lose any more" (Erm thanks but mind your own business) "You don't want to get too skinny" (see previous comment) "Aren't you frightened of getting too muscley" (Erm nope - bring it on) Everyone has an opinion on my weight loss like I'm doing it…

Marie, 42 from North East (South Shields). Lost 27lbs and put 2 back on while still losing body fat :-) After going to the gym for years without any proper focus, I've rediscovered my love for fitness with the help of a trainer and am currently caning the gym 5 times per week building muscle and loving it. Feel free to add…

My waist, the first 4lbs I lost also took 3 inches off my waist, it settled down and became more even after that. It's always my bum and thighs last.

Never mind bench press, you wouldn't want to be at the back of a yoga class during "Downward Dog" :embarassed:

I'm North East too, feel free to add.

1) Had the confidence to wear a bikini in a public pool for the very first time in my 42 years. 2) Gave away too black sacks of too big clothes, including the ones which were too small when I first started losing weight. :happy:

I started all of this because I had 4 dresses in my wardrobe which hadn't been worn because they were too tight. They're all too big now and the new trousers I bought for work 2 months ago, too big as well. Expensive business this losing weight. Need to find a tailor. :smile:

Hello ladies, my name is Marie, I'm 42 years old and joined MFP on Thursday. I have to say the Food Diary has been a bit of an eye opener. Anyway I'm hoping that this site is going to help me get back to fitness as I've gradually succumbed to the dreaded middle age spread (even if I'm still 26 in my head). I've got my…
