Great news! We're all looking forward to your next post that you had to replace them with a smaller pair! :D Fantastic work!

Green veggies usually have a fair bit of iron in them. Think broccoli or spinach. Wilted baby spinach with pasta is really nice :)

I've tried the Your Shape trial for Kinect, and it was okay, hard to tell with just a trail of one game. It uses the camera to scan your body too, so it's a bit harder to cheat than with the wii! Personally though, I prefer Dance Central for Kinect as it feels more fun while still getting a work out. Having had a wii…

Sounds like a great plan and sound advice! There was a post on here a while ago about eating 6 small meals a day rather than 3 main ones, so sort of similar. I had some success in not bothering with numbers at all before I signed up here and just changing what I ate, not the portion sizes, got used to that and then started…

I do, as I clean so rarely and don't move much on a day to day basis. So anything that's me moving I tend to count as exercise.

Bear in mind that height makes a difference! One of my friends is the same size as me but looks a bit bigger as she's smaller, and another friend is taller and a bigger size or 2 than me but looks about the same. I know that it's easy to say and harder to do but try to remember that everyone's body and idea of fit and…

Love the 'If you can't be kind at least have the decency to be vague!' but I'm not a big motivational quotes person, so I'm afraid mine's a bit stupid: 'If practice makes perfect, and nobody's perfect, why practice?' - Unknown

I'm assuming you've already done this, but thought I'd suggest it anyway: a pros and cons list for each of them? See what has the most pros.

First of all: welcome to the site! I'm sure you'll manage to meet your goals now that you're here, everyone is very supportive and the weight loss ticker the site gives you automatically is great encouragement in itself! Feel free to add me as a friend, the more you have on it that support you the more likely you are to…

Hi to both of you and welcome! I'm sure you'll manage to meet your goals for October, but if you find yourself falling behind a bit or craving that one food that seems to be your downfall just pop onto the message boards for some encouragement and some alternative recipes that some of these clever people come up with! It's…

Welcome! You'll definitely find inspiration on this site, and motivation. After 2 weeks I've never been so on track and have seen so many posts with similar comments. Best of luck with your goals! Feel free to add me as a friend :)

Welcome to MFP! Hope you're finding it useful, be sure to check the boards if you need some help, everyone on them is brilliant for support and motivation. :)

You don't need luck, you can do it!

I'm drooling... I was planning on having a girly night in with pizza in a few weeks as I've got my flat to myself with the boyfriend away, at least now I feel more inclined to make an alternative! Though... I may still need to add a stuffed crust! Thanks for the warm welcome (and that goes for everyone!)

Exercise DVDs are very good to start but your body gets used to the energy and strength needed to do the moves after a while and you won't get as much benefit from it after a few months. Use them to yourself back on track then maybe try a gym to give yourself different exercises to do. Though if you're as financially…

Get someone to go with you! Maybe your fiance? Even if you're both not morning people knowing that someone else is expecting you to be at the gym for 7am or something makes you more likely to go.

That does sound good... rather than feeling so hungry by one of your 3 main meals that you eat too much have 6 smaller meals spread out more and you won't feel as hungry (or have as many cravings for snacks I imagine!). Going to try that out, thanks!
