I'm looking for more UK friends! Please feel free to add me :)

I listen to playlists on Spotify on my iphone.. i make sure they are fast paced and upbeat songs, and usually a lot of them are songs that remind me of people I don't like/people that are skinner than me!! Those songs always get me working harder!!

Thank you all! These all sound great. I had never thought of buying something that could keep my food warm, definitely going to do this! thanks :)

Yes I'm desperately hoping to lose 50lbs! Please all feel free to add me, would love to have someone on here to do this with :)

Ah thanks so much for replying its great to see what someone on the same position is doing... I have some dumbbells at home that I've been neglecting, I've always enjoyed cardio more. Do you mind if I add you? It would be great to follow your journey.

ooh thank you!! I'm going to give that all a read now :smile:

haha :wink: it's okay it all helps me i'm completely lost when it comes to weights and strength training!

I'm limiting myself to 1400 a day, I seem to be losing steadily about a pound a week at the moment. I will start working with different weights at the gym, I just really love the VIPR weight for some reason I really enjoy using it!!

I do roughly 4 workouts at the gym a week, maybe more if not a couple at home. That looks good I'm going to think about following more of a plan.. I think I do need some structure like this. Am I right in thinking that weight lifting also aids fat loss in the long run? Thanks!

Glad to know someone else is in the same boat! Hopefully someone here can enlighten us, I've never really known what would be best.

I'm hoping to lose around 50.. feel free to add me! :)

I've just come across this post.. I was diagnosed with Colitis last year and feel like I am the only person struggling with this disease who is overweight!! I am currently a UK 16, the largest I have ever been EVER. A lot of it is to do with anxiety and depression which I think were lurking inside me for a while and have…

Update: I used 1 cal spray and turned the heat MUCH lower... success!! They were delicious.

Great, thanks all! I feel a bit more understanding now, it's something I've never quite grasped.

I'm going to have another go tomorrow with 1 cal spray and a much lower temperature, fingers crossed!!

Ooh I'll give that a go I've been meaning to buy some for ages, thanks!!

I tried that but they were going really dark really quickly! I'm wondering whether I have the heat too high.

I'm in my 20s and have around 40 pounds to lose.. I'll send you a friend request! :)

Wow thats amazing, well done!! I'll add you as I can always do with some motivation too. I have about 40 pounds to lose.

I'm also in college and new to MFP! :)

I'm also in college at the moment, I'll add you as I'm new too! :)

That quote applies to me completely. I think about how much I hate the way I look ALL the time.. now is the time to start doing something about! Will add you now, thanks! :)

THANK YOU ALL for your great words!! I think it appears this website could be the one thing I needed to keep me motivated..! I am looking forward to waking up tomorrow and having a great day and remembering why I not only want but NEED to lose weight. Thank you!! I hope you wont mind if I add you :)

I was actually thinking of getting some magazines! I read a lot of fitness blogs but sometimes I think it can be nice to get off the computer and step back into real life again. Thank you so much for your words, good luck on your journey also!

You are completely right. I have an appointment with my GP this Friday to discuss some things. I'm still going to try motivating myself with the techniques mentioned though, but I have been hoping that this appointment might hold some answers to what is really stopping me from getting where I want. Thanks for being so…

Hi, I've added you! I'm also in need of some motivation :)
