I'm dahn sahf now as well - London. But born and bred in Cleethorpes. I love etymologies - being in London, I'm fascinated by how all the little place names in the Capital have come about! (And apologies, my reply was supposed to be quietly educational - re-reading it, I was worried it came across patronising. Sorry! Have…

E by gum? Wasn't that the fad drug that took Leeds by storm a couple of years ago? :happy:

Point of fact, Scunny isn't a seaside town. It's not far inland, but doesn't have its own beach. The denizens of the town have to go to Cleethorpes, which is the nearest decent beach. (Cleethorpes - Thorpes of Clee, Clee from the Viking for Clay, 'cos that's what the surrounding area is built on. There's a lot of brickpits…

Londoner here - but am originally from N. E. Lincs. Add me if you wish!

This. I'd give any amount to have done this right in 2011, or in 2010. Or in the countless times I've started a weightloss program and fallen off the wagon within 8 weeks. It looks daunting from this side, I know. I'm facing up to the fact it's going to take well over a year to get down to a normal weight. But there's no…

Carbs: Veggies, fruit, cider. Protein: Turkey meat, eggs, bacon (mmmm, bacon.) Fats: Eggs, bacon, cheese. Now all I need to do is find some good sources of fibre. (I'm getting sick of baked beans for breakfast!)

Nothing more to add- there's some great suggestions here. Just in for Dr. Who and Sherlock. I'm still holding out for the inevitable Children in Need special crossover.

I've done surprisingly well. Except for beer and cider. Love the taste, and it's always a social calorie intake. *sigh*

Female, 5'5". Current weight 222lb. Love me some walking. I try to do at least 3 miles a day. Am contemplating some exercises to strengthen my core (when I can find out what's going to be best) and tone my upper body, before starting C25K when it start to get nicer outside next year.

Breakfast - 2 Scrambled eggs and 2 rashers of bacon Lunch - 4oz of chicken or fish and lots of steamed veg or salad Dinner - 4oz of meat and salad or steamed veg (which ever I didn't each at lunch) and a serving of carbs (rice, pasta or potatoes) if I've got calories left. Snacks of fruit. Tea (because I'm British). Beer…

I've found it very difficult to pick a goal weight, as I've never been a healthy weight. Am currently aiming for a big psychological barrier - 12 stone (168 pounds), as this was always the goal weight for myself growing up. It was very difficult/nigh on impossible for me to diet much below that on the standard 1980's…

While I don't want to demonize food, I do have a personal definition of junk food. That's food which smells divine but somehow doesn't follow up on the taste. So most fast food burgers fall under the the definition, cheap cakes, pies and pastries. And Krispy Kreme donuts. Urgh. And I used to eat them, even though they…

At the risk of derailing the thread (and OP - trogalicious has given you every thing you need to know about successful weightloss - seriously, that checklist is awesome sauce....) Can anyone explain to a bewildered Briton what on earth peeps are? They look very... yellow.

I'm so happy right now, I walked three miles instead of my usual two at lunchtime. And then I climbed all five flights of stairs again! My thighs are aching now... And thanks!
-
Awesome advice! OP: Do this!!!
-
That's amazing! Congrats! And very good luck with your first ever 5K!

37, in the UK and female here. I'd love to be fit and normal weight before I'm 40. Am doing it the radical way of eating less and exercising more. Add me if you wish! H ETA: I'm with jeffpettis here - there are no bad foods, just eat for a reasonable deficit. You may find certain foods help with that goal - eat more of…

Another walker here - started out seven weeks ago, walking a mile in the morning and a mile at lunchtime during the work week. I've upped my lunchtime walk to 2 miles, and am considering 3 miles shortly. I also try to get at least 10 miles in over the weekend. With that and counting my calories, I've lost nearly 16 pounds.…

Only 0.6lb this week, but with four days at a hotel, a family wedding and then entertaining a friend from out of town, that's more than I expected. Back on the horse now.

Hi, I'm 5'5" also. Currently at 224lb, down over 14 lb over my starting weight, but a long way from my goal. I'm also tired of being big- I've been that all my life. I've dieted before, but also gained all the way back and more. This time I'm doing it right. The only way to get the weight off and keep it off is to be…

Congratulations - that's an awesome achievement! :flowerforyou:
-
Oh, thank god. I thought I was the only one. It always seems to start about 8-12 pounds into a diet. It's working and I'm happy and confident about that. And then some random male stranger makes a comment - this time it was a guy who chased after me to tell me I looked great from the back (which I doubt- I'm still 224…

Weighed in at 224.2lb this morning. TOM weight busted. Yay!
-
I've recently started round Green Park - it's a nice route. Three miles (through St James's as well)! Only thing is, takes me about 50 minutes to do. :-(
-
Looks like I'm an oddity here. I tend to gain weight first on my rack and lose it last. I swear my constant yo-yo dieting in my teens and twenties contributed to my enormous 38H (J, depending on style of bra) chest. Now after 14 pounds gone, the back size is starting to decrease, but the cup size is holding steady.…

Replying so I can find this again - this looks rather lovely!

Current goal weight is 12 stone (168 pounds). I'm 5'5" so that's bang in the middle of overweight for me. But it's a weight I fluctuated between in my early teens and I've not been lighter than that, much, since. If I I hit that goal I'll look at being more fit - running or strength training. Whatever happens, it's not the…

Shop-bought cakes and pastries. They never tasted as good as they looked, and I look at in terms of my calorie budget. (I'm an accountant, so that probably explains it...) Why eat something that's high in calories and doesn't taste so good when there's plenty of alternatives? Homemade cakes, on the other hand? Bring them…

You know, I wasn't on the adding friends, (don't know why), but a Whovian, crafter and Pagan - I'd be an idiot not to! (Whovian, crafter and Pagan from London here.)
