I passed my first Tae Kwondo grading today! First time I have been judged or earnt a badge for anything physical since i was a little kid learning to swim!

Went to Tae kwondo this evening, been going for 3 months or so, have to do fitness for first half. Tonight was my least favourite, jogging round the hall forwards and backwards. For the first time ever though, i did the whole session without having to break into a walk once!! At the end of class the instructor told me off…

I bought all the fixings to have a banana split for dessert tonight. I finished dinner and decided i was full so thought I'd give it late. All evening I've been asking myself if i want it and i kept answering not really. This means i still have all the fixings ready for when i really do want it. This is pretty major for me…

I went to Tae Kwondo tonight and managed 25 push-ups. Okay, so they were on my knees but only because I know we were in for a lot of them, next time I'm gonna go for broke and do non-modified ones. When I started 4 months ago I could only do 2 modified ones in a row and we don't do them every week. Actually, I guess I…

What an amazing difference, well done

Hi, I'm Laura. I have just over 100lbs to loose. Increasing my excersise and need to be able to do 10 push-ups for my tae kwondo grading in March!!!!

Hey. I'm 35(gulp) in 6 months time. I want to loose 40lbs by then but I have 120lbs to loose in total. I really want to get on board with the social side of this and have friends that reply on board thing

//www.fitbit.com/user/2V8HL8 Hi folks, I;m new to the Fitbit thing - if anyone wants to add me, please do :-)

Hi Folks. I too have a new fitbit and I'm looking for friends //www.fitbit.com/user/2V8HL8 if anyone wants to add me :-)

I have just started - well, Wk1 day 2 tonight anyway. I like to run in the dark, makes me feel better than no one can see the colour of my face. I live in the middle of the British country side and have lots of lovely footpaths around fields. Turns out trying to run in them is a bad idea! I put my foot down a rabbit hole…

This x1000000 I am just coming up to 2 years as a non-smoker. I smoked for 15 years anywhere between 20 - 40 a day depending on what I was doing. I have tried stopping before, used champix, patches, gum, cold turkey - nothing worked. Much to my total shame I didn't even stop completely when I was pregnant for the first…

Hi, It might not be what you are looking for, but I used to do the same thing, I swapped to plain pop corn and now either crunch icecubes (when it is warm) or chew gum. Also find I get through my work a bit quicker as I am not stopping to replenish snaks or put hand to mouth! Mind you, still better than the old old days…

A lot of people advocate a weekly calorie deficit rather than a daily one so yes, you can .eat the calories you had left over. Other people refer to this as a cheat day. This is where the consciously eat under their calories for most days of the week and then on a 'cheat' day they use those calories on a blow out.

He is 4 next month, but he is already in 5-6yr clothes. He takes after his Daddy, he is massivly tall and bizzarly for a 3YO, he has defined muscles!!!! It;s like looking at a mini body builder!!

The month I should (in my very realistic goals 6lbs a month until I have less than 30lbs to go and then 4lbs a month) reach target is the month after I become debt free as well (June 2013 is going to be an AMAZING month!). So the £400 I would normally be paying on my debts is all going to spent on clothes!!!!!! I also get…

I have swapped my two biscuits (cookies) at morning breaktime for 25gs of almonds. Certainly feels more satisfying and keeps me going easily till lunch time. As long as they fit into your cal allowance it's all good!

I'm a north Beds girl! Add me if you like.

I am 10lbs off losing the weight of my 3 year old! I am looking forward to be able to lift him up and feel it! Mum always says I feed Leo on bricks as he is a rather large 3 year old!!!! Tall and muscular I must add, not fat. His biceps put mine to shame and he is a 3 year old!!!

My current favorite quick meal is an ommlette. Ham, mushrooms and if I have the calories left a bit of cheese, bang in 2 or 3 eggs. mmmmmmm!

I am going to have a family photo shoot. This year we have had a family one in Mum's back garden and the same photgrapher took pictures at Mum's 60th later in the year. I would like to get him to do a new set of pictures. To be fair, despite the fact I had not lost weight at this point, the photos were beautiful and given…

My body seems to go in two week cycles so my weekly weight loss seems to actually reflect the fortnight before rather than the week before! Maybe your body is just catching up with you. Could it be water weight you are holding onto? What sort of excersize are you doing? Strength training can make you not lose for a little…

In 8lbs, for the first time since we met I will weigh the same as him!!!! I am hoping to be signifigantly smaller than him by the time we finish!

The nly time it bothers me is when my little one steals cheese! I always weigh out my cheese and put it on a seperate plate if I am adding grated cheese to anything. Without fail he will always take cheese of my pile rather than the big one which is meant for everyone else! Other than that, don;t really mind!

I currently have a large suitcase of clothes that are a size or 2 too small because people have given me their cast offs so I don;t have to buy new clothes until I am at target. Actually, last night I got the suitcase out and was trying on the clothes and lots of them fit now YAY. Not sure when I get close to target I…

The summary message is because you have your settings to lose 1lbs a week which is recommended for someone who has very little to lose. It would seem that you are eating way under this, hence the message that based on calorie consumption alone you should lose quite a bit more. Unfortuantely in the real world it doesn;'t…

No weights yet, although I am tentativly looking into it, just not sure I can find the time or the money without my husband getting mad! I need to look into these other aids, as I've never even heard of them!!!! If I was going to choose one of them to start with, whoch would you suggest?

I am swimming for weightloss and toning (for when you can actually see some of my muscles!) I basically do 5lengths breaskstroke, 5 lengths backstroke, 5 lengths front crawl and repeat ad nauseum! I am not really sure what I can do to have a different swim routine. I have searched on google and all I can find are things…

Not since using MFP properly. I have tried various slimming clubs in the UK and have only ever been able to loose between 7-10lbs which is mental as I have well over 100lbs to loose! Just after starting MFP I got myself a notebook - I like a good notebook me! I split my weightloss down into 15 mini goals, some based around…

I've looked at your food diary, and aside from yesterday, it does seem like you are eating a good ammount for your target. Have you set it to a 2lb loss though? At your weight and goal, 2lbs is probably too much (according to MFP - I don't pretend to be an expert on this!!!!), try setting it at 1lb. 3lbs in 3 weeks is good…

I get this as well, really bugs me in the summer when I want to wear shorts at camp! I have tried all sorts of razors to no avail. I've not tried it with shampoo though. One thing I have read, although not tried because I keep forgetting, is to shave your legs pretty much as soon as you get in the bath because as your skin…
