Belly Button piercing and holiday in Jamaica :)

Just sent you a Friend request... I started at 267 lbs a while ago...I joined MFP 26 lbs ago and it still seems to be coming off :) Welcome !

YAY I love NSVs more than Scale Victories....

Just sent you a friend request....I'm hoping to Hit Wonderland soon too 17lbs away from it...and hoping by the end of April I'll be there!!!!

Done :)

Hey just sent you a friend request....I have an elliptical at home too as I hated the Gym, 3 months in I'm wanting Gym membership but for the fancy pants one down the road that cost the same as my elliptical monthly.....so I'll still to my elliptical for now ! Welcome to MFP

Focus the hard work and determination I'm putting into weight loss to do something amazing....maybe become Prime Minister? ha ha!

Just sent you a friend request....We're the same age and got the same name (and I started MFP at the same weight)!!!

Heya, In October last year I could barely suffice 5 mins on the elliptical, now I do 40-60mins every day...it's all about baby steps and building it up! I started off at 257lbs and was around 238lbs when I joined MFP....so it does work! It's hard work, but you've got to focus and put your mind to it and then you'll start…

I went to Curves and LOVED IT!!!! Then I moved towns because of work and the nearest Curves to me is about 20 miles away :(

Well done!!! Wednesday is my weigh in day too :)

I'm 5'5" Start Weight 257 pounds....Current Weight 217 pounds...Goal Weight....135 pounds!

Just sending you a friend request now - Welcome :)

Try and make the most of your calories- I eat 1220 calories a day and I feel like I've eaten more than ever before- lots of vegetables as they are very low calories..... Try and only drink diet drinks or water Measure out your carbs Use low-fat products There are lots more tips out there...I just can't think of them at the…

I'm giving up Eating Out & Takeaways & Desserts..... I'm also taking up working out 7 hours a week!!! Hopefully this should all aid my weightloss!

I get so angry when this happens too....I love independent restaurants too (and there are A LOT in Oxford) but they NEVER have their calorie content....So I've just got to add it up + add a few extra 100 calories because I doubt they'll cook low fat!

sent you a request....as I'm a bit addicted to MFP & the support keeps me going!

When your so worried about what your boyfriend mother is going to serve you for dinner when you go around to her house, you do 2 hours of cardio...just incase it's something way over your calorie allowance!

I'm giving up take aways and eating out (hopefully this should save me some money too) and taking up Exercising for an hour every day! I do go away for a few days over lent, but at that point I'll stop and just extend my lent time over easter.

I let if know how easily replaceable it is!

I'm going to Germany next week to celebrate my anniversary with my boyfriend in Berlin, and then again two weeks later for the weekend as the BF will be working in Frankfurt for 2 weeks- so going to join him over the weekend! Then going to go visit a family friend in Italy over easter.... Then 2 weeks in Jamaica in October…

Friend request sent - Defo a daily logger (it's my equivalent to facebook at work!)

Heya, sending you a friend request!

I usually do 75g of raw pasta cooked per a person...and there is sometimes leftovers!

The machines give you a very rough estimate....Burning calories really depends on your size / heart rate etc- maybe try a heart rate monitor to give you a more accurate reading?

I want someone to come round and clean my flat!!! With working, running and studying the house gets neglected...(the exercise use too but I changed my priorities)

Nice motivation! Can't wait to have that flat stomach!

I grew up in a Catholic family and giving up something for lent was the complete norm for me, I'm not that religious these days, but I still give up something for lent (my atheist boyfriend thinks it's weird). Thanks for all your ideas I think I'm going to give up eating out & takeaways and take up morning work outs…

I'm cooking the BOYF Steak and dauphinoise potatoes (his fav), candles, wine etc....... Also the night before I'm going to bake him heart shape cookies, and put them in his pack lunch he takes for work!

Oooo this is good! I grew up around Windsor- and never knew about this!!! Thanks!
