Yes it can be done. Its just a bit slower that's all. As long as you stay within your calories you will lose weight :flowerforyou:

Wow thank you Karlaki for taking the time to type all that out for me. I'll have a look into some of the things you have mentioned. Thanks

I have a Wii but avoided the EA sports active because it looked a bit tough :happy: Does it have a lot of jumping around to do? - that's what hurts the most. Do you get a good calorie burn on it? I have Exerbeat which I find really good. You don't get a high burn but it is fun. I used to do aqua aerobics and loved it but…

Look at you. You have done so well. I'm so proud of you :flowerforyou: xxx

I wouldn't even have to think about that one. Grandparents are so special. Enjoy every second you can with them. I lost my Nana last week. Even though she lived in Ireland, I made sure I saw her as often as I possibly could.

Thanks guys. :flowerforyou: I was pondering this question on the way to work. I asked hubby who said that he didn't know so I said I would ask my Fitness Pals. I knew you would know. :happy:

What's the point of Baileys without the alcohol. You nutter :laugh:

Thanks everyone. That's what I thought. I couldn't imagine that onions suddenly increased ten fold because they have sucked up the oil you've already counted. Yay, my dinner on Saturday was a lot less than I thought. Could have had a Baileys :happy:

That's a good idea. I'll do that. Thanks :flowerforyou:

My friends noticed and commented after about 1.5 to 2 stone because they were looking for it but not so close acquaitances didn't start commenting until 3 stone and new clothes. Hubby has never ever ever noticed or commented. I say "do you think I look like I've lost weight?" and he says "I don't know because I see you…

Leslie Sansone - Walk away the Pounds workouts would be a great place to start I reckon.

Any MP3 player will do really. You can get them cheap. Try Amazon and Ebay. Yes, you will be able to load music from the library. You have to turn them into MP3's first though. Or you can get the ipod shuffle. Quite cheap. Easy to use. Load music onto itunes and then sync with your ipod. I have both and they're both easy…

I love this. I love your attitude. I want that mantra on a poster. :flowerforyou:

You'll be fine. You're not going to get ill but I guarantee you'll check more carefully in future :laugh: I done that once and now I check EVERY piece of bread in detail even if its only a day old :happy:

[/quote] Noooo some people would be very offended by you saying they had lost weight. Unless you know them very well, or they already told you they were trying to lose, you really shouldn't do it. Rude. [/quote] Really? It always works for me. :happy: I've just asked my colleague because I'm not the most sensitive person…

The words "have you lost weight? you look great" will brighten up even the gloomiest face :happy:

Look at you!!! Seriously look at you!!!! You look like a completely different person. In fact, you look young enough to be your daughter :happy: What an amazing difference. Oh how frustrating to not hit the 100lbs that day but you will. There's only a teeny tiny bit to go. You will get there. :flowerforyou: And yeah! what…

Thank you so much :blushing: :flowerforyou: I'm so glad I listened to my friends and started using MFP. Its made life so much easier and having all this support and encouragement is just what you need to keep you going. Here's to another good day. Cheers :drinker: :flowerforyou:

I don't believe in going cold turkey. I chose the drugs straight away. Feel free to add me. We can choose not to smoke together :happy:

That is an outstanding achievement. Doctors don't just take you off meds for no reason. Seriously you should be so proud of yourself. YOU have turned your life around so significantly. Big round of applause from here. well done :flowerforyou:

Couldn't possibly expect someone who's never smoked to understand. Some people can just throw them away and have done with it. My Nana did. I needed time. I still miss them. I'm going away for the weekend soon and I'll miss them then so much. We're not allowed to smoke in the pubs here so I love going outside and playing…

Setting a date for when to quit is a lot easier than just doing it for most people. Its like saying goodbye to an old friend and you need to prepare for that. Its emotional when you think of all the times you have a cigarette and what you'll be missing out on. When you have actually quit for just a few days you will start…

I feel glowy as well. Life was such a chore in the old days. I was so unhappy. I never realised how bad I felt until I started feeing better. And now I've given up smoking as well, I can breathe. WINNING :laugh:

Aww thank you so much :flowerforyou:

Thank you so much All I see when I look in the mirror is my HUGE stomach. I forget to look elsewhere. I have to stop doing that. Now that I have the photographic evidence in front of me. I can totally believe it :smile:

Thank you all so much. You're so kind :blushing: Yes, Berry I am only half way through my journey. My stomach is so huge, it could take over the world. :laugh: But like I always say, you get the benefits all the way along not just at the end. :smile: New clothes you say? Oh yes oh yes oh yes. My wardrobe is bursting with…

Thank you thank you thank you. I don't know how you done that but I thank you. I can relax now and stop it bothering my brain :laugh:

Ok I seriously give up now. They're not worth this much effort. Thanks for the congratulations everyone :flowerforyou:

Ooh thanks. Ok I'll try again

:grumble: I give up. *Pfft* :grumble:
