I started with a personal trainer about 2 months ago and have lost 14 pounds so far, he recommends apart from doing my usual aerobic exercise (ie. running) to do anaerobic training, this involves weight training, but you have to combine it with some form of cardio in order for your body to burn more fat and get more…

well done!!! keep it going! ive lost around 42 pounds since i had my new baby, but want to get to 50 lbs by Christmas, your story inspires me, well done!

hi, i am also a stay at home mum of one and a law student at night! joined a few months ago and never looked back, ive lost 20 pounds by recording what i eat and looking into peoples posts for tips on healthy eating and exercise, also found the success stories so motivating, and it is great to know that u can still indulge…

welcome to mfp hope it helps you, it certainly helped me so keep the faith:smile:

thanks so much for that!!! really motivational and i shall aply it!!! keep the faith girls and boys!!:happy: :happy: :happy:

dont worry about that! i know u r supposed to intake 1200 calories a day but a few 100 under wont do that much harm!! i find i always eat under, but the thing is because i am not eating the bad stuff (which tastes so so good) i am under, but what can u do, if you are not feeling hungry dont eat, listen to what your body is…

well done!! here here to MFP!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

wow congrats!! i have got to get the old tape measurer out!!!

oh and another thing, dont worry about not noticing your weight loss yourself, i usually dont, but people have been telling me so thats when you know is working!!!:bigsmile:

hi been here for about 2 weeks or so and lost 8 so far, its just very inspiring reading up on success stories and keeps reminding you to drink water etc, also i found logging in my food intake has made me shift the weight quicker, everybody is different but i strongly reccomend you use this and you will see results.

put it under treadmill, as it also says steps etc. it is a good exercise thats how i started!! try alternating it with a bit of jogging maybe even 30 secs at the beggining to get that heart rate going and then do it 35 secs etc youll notice your resistance going up :bigsmile:

hi jen and welcomed, i have been using this for over a week now and can really notice the difference, th advice and support r second to none and is nice to see that there r people out there who actually struggle with the same issues i do everyday. so welcome and good luck! :smile:

god you and me could be the same person!!! that happened to me just last night, i came home at around 10 pm and felt like i was going to die if i didnt eat anything!!! i drank water and then i had some grapes and it repressed my hunger a little bit, and then what i did was go straight to bed as you cant eat when you are…

hi delyth, Im so sorry to hear you dont have support amongst your loved ones, but here is my tip, dont deprive yourself, the main criterai for losing weight is eat what you want when you want but do it consciously. Dont eat just because you feel that you need food to calm your anxiety. I too have a husband who is very…

thanxs evrybody for your advice, i think i will go for a long run early in the morning and go about my usual life, i was thinking to drink a vodka tonic and then 2 glasses of water for every drink, maybe sparkling water so i dont feel left out think if i can manage that i will no have a bad hangover next day and be able to…

if you are an emotional eater that means that you are not really hungry but replace your emotions with food, there is a good exercise that reprogrammes your brain waves. I watched it just before december on tele, and is this guy paul mackenna who is an english motivational speaker who showed it. What he says is that when…

you look H O T !!! congratulations!!!:wink:

just a note on the lemon thing, I too find plain water just unbearable, but as i have a stomach condition, gastritis, if i drink or even eat fruits that are very acidic my stomach will get very upset. What i have been doing is taking sparkling water with me and it does exactly the same trick as the lemon water, just to…

hi weejen, I think most of us here if not all feel disbonded and desperate at some stage, specially i find that i just let myself go and only started noticing how much weight i had put on when i heard comments from people that hadnt seen me in a while and instead of motivating me it actually made me want to seek confort in…

best of luck to all you fellow struglers, i feel your pain!!:sad: :sad:

hi, i am also new to this, just joined last couple of days and already noticing the difference. Before i used this i used to weigh 184 pounds and i am now 167, this has been a very long process for me to lose all this weight but i feel more confident now using this website, i have noticed that i am able to keep track so…

i feel you, i too am obsessed with the scale, so i hid it in a drawer, but took it out again today, not too bad as it said ive lost 2 pound, but i am really going to put it away and weight myself at the end of the week, anyhow, the thing is i went shopping today and even though the scale says i only lost two pounds i tried…

yes well, that is life, i am in my late twenties, next year i will be 30, thus the decision to do something about it before it is too late. I feel what ur saying about our prime, but we have to also keep in mind that we have to lose wight healthily if we want to see our 30's so hang in there!
