Thanks everyone. Some great ideas and options. Keep up the good work.

Everything's better with friends. Add away :)

Well done on taking the first steps. I'm approaching half way, and find the peer support from mfp to be a great help which keeps me focused and accountable. Friend request sent.

I have yet to find anywhere in Northern Ireland to buy egg whites. Tried asda, tesco (their biggest store in ireland), sainsbury, Holland & barratt, and few other supermarkets. I'd be delighted to find a source for these. CBA getting covered in raw egg every time I have to seperate 4 or 5 egg whites.

Candice, have you looked at parkrun.com? It's a global network of free 5K events, which are on every Saturday. I've signed up, and soon as I can manage 5K at least once on the treadmill, I'm going live, onto a Parkrun event. There might be a event in your neighbourhood!

Well done on using the app, and for following it up with peer support - I think its been the single most beneficial element of me getting this far! Anyway, friend request sent from me 39, Northern Ireland. Anyone else looking for some NI friends, feel free to add me!

I've just finished week 2, and starting week 3 tomorrow. I'm considerably overweight and thought the whole idea at times was a bit fanciful, in that I was thinking my body couldn't cope with the stress. But I have to say, the slow, controlled approach has seen me enjoy the programme so far, and I'm actually looking forward…

Like many other people posting above, sodium isn't a problem, but the natural sugars in my food always put me over. Even my breakfast puts me over sugar goal for the day, and that's usually 8oz of 100% pure orange juice, shredded wheat & semi skimmed milk. I avoid added sugar where possible, but have stopped tracking sugar…

I'm about 5 weeks in, and have doing well with all the help & support I get from my MFP friends. Feel free to add me.

I use my fork in my right hand!

12 years ago I used to be 18 stone (252 lbs) Through a 15 month exercise and diet period I transformed myself down to 12st (168lb). As a reward, I went on an all inclusive 2 week holiday, and I ate like a pig. I told myself 'sure it's a holiday' and I'll be good again when I get home. Trouble is, I gradually let the bad…

You can add me if you like. I'm in Northern Ireland! And welcome back!

Well heres the way I do it... If it goes in my mouth I add it.... If its a food made up from different items - i.e. a cheese sandwich, I would add the cheese by serving (weight/slice etc), and then add 2 silces of bread, not forgetting to add any butter/spreads. I always take the trouble to use the actual producers…

You can add me too if you want some support from Northern Ireland. Welcome to MFP. Mark

Kinda brings it home about all this excess weight we are carrying. Well done so far. Keep it up and you might just get one for each shoulder! :-)

Northern Ireland! Add me if you want!

I'm new here too. Sent you a friend request :)

Thanks to everyone who has posted a reply and added me as a friend. I have a good feeling, that this time I'll really make it stick.

You can add me if you want support from across the Irish sea!
