Thanks Ladies. I know as we get *ahem*:tongue: older it's harder to shift weight but I really do think it's more than that because I can stick to my daily calories & exercise and not lose or even gain. and yes I did gain weight on the pill, even more than I have now, quite a lot actually thinking about it and the weight…

I love this!!! No more crappy gas in the tank!!!:laugh:

well you've come to the right place. This site is great for support. You WILL succeed just stick with it x :flowerforyou:

WOW!!!! You look amazing x

I'm not alone then!!:wink: I was worried about lack of space as our lounge is quite small but I managed it with my 2 daughters joining in as well! I was advised to log it under aerobic high impact. Found it better than any wii fit game. I could feel which muscles I was using, and it includes arms and a warm down and water…

Thanks x I'll take a look

this is a new idea to me. Is it supposed to speed up weight loss?? if I go over I always try to go under the next day. Obviously I try to stick to my limits, but if I have a blip & go over then I try to correct it the next day x

this is a really common post. Everyone says that MFP puts proteins quite low. So long as it's from good sources I wouldn't worry:flowerforyou:

I'm currently 144lbs & Hope to get under 140lbs. 140lbs is my next goal anything under that will be a bonus. I would love to be 133lbs & have been there before but found it a little hard to maintain but Oh did I feel good about myself!! For me if I go under 133lbs I look drawn & a little too skinny. But we're all different…

Thanks for all the replies. I did look for trampoline but it didn't come up? I added as aerobic general & a lovely lady inboxed me a chart which went by My weight & how long I 'jumped' a bit like the skipping one. It was almost the same as what I had put in I had a great time bouncing & ended up being joined by all 3 of my…

Thanks everyone. Will try the B12. Have heard it's good have changed work level to moderate & I'm making sure I eat all my calories & if I'm hungry I just top up on fruit or something else healthy x Shifted 1lb this week. That's 5lbs in 3 weeks x

That my friend would be a miracle!!!!:laugh: Cheers!:drinker:

I posted the same thing when I started & was told by all the lovely members on here not to worry too much so long as it's coming from good sources. I think the protein is set quite low on here & you can adjust it I'm just not sure how! (sorry):embarassed: As long as everything else is under, or where it should be, I…

I'm 5'7" and loved being 135lbs although right now I'd settle for 140lbs!! And will probably stick between 135 & 140 as I found 135 really hard to maintain (but I loved how it looked & how I felt) added a pic to my profile as have no clue how to post it here! It's the one of me in the black dress. That's when I felt at my…

15lbs in 2 weeks is a huge loss. You have to expect it to slow up at some point. But it's only been 4 days. Maybe try only weighing in once a week. then you notice a loss more than day by day. Like someone else said maybe change your exercise? Are you eating back the exercise calories? I'm sure you'll get lots of support &…

I was diagnosed with PCOS when trying to conceive. I was heavier than I'd ever been before. My GP didn't give me any meds or supplements but she did put me on a strict, healthy diet & told me to exercise at least 3 times a week. The weight did come off & less than a year later I was expecting my first baby.:happy: I had 2…

I'm a food education presenter to children:smile: And before anyone says anything, it's not what I eat, but how much that has landed me back at MFP!! :embarassed: I don't have that much to lose but I did lose my self control and anyway, I Love it here & don't want to leave!! :smooched: Mwah xxx

Thank you :flowerforyou: I lost 3lbs this week, so that's a bonus. Just wish I felt like I had more energy! x

Welcome back!! You sound like me, I'm back again!! Good luck x

Thanks I know it's not an underlying medical issue as I've been under loads of tests in the last few weeks. I was just wondering if maybe I wasn't eating enough to lose weight. Hard to know what to do for the best really.

I've certainly been getting my sleep! I crash before 10pm every night! (poor boyfriend!!) I don't seem to be really shifting my excess weight & was wondering if it's because I'm not eating enough???? I like the idea of destressing & I think I have a yogalates DVD, just never got round to trying it. Thanks x

I've probably gained a few pounds just looking at it!!!!!:laugh: I admire your will power!:flowerforyou:

Netty, I was raised to clear my plate too!! LOL I now get up 10 mins earlier & have some cereal, then have a banana mid morning, a healthy sandwich & an apple at lunch then a healthy smaller dinner. I also have taken to carrying healthy snacks in my work bag! We sound very alike!! :flowerforyou:

People here want to help you:flowerforyou: . Best give them the full situation to get the best answers. EVERYONE here is on your side. We're all in the same boat. No one is trying to be smart

if you use them for convenience try batch cooking & freezing favourite meals. That way you have 'ready meals' in the freezer but you know what's in them. Well worth the little bit of time & effort invested :drinker:

Take a salad tub. Lots of salad & lots of fruit. Picnic's can be really healthy. Whenever we have family picnics my sister plates a salad with cold meats or fish, salad & new potatoes. Always looks so nice & not obvious diet food, just healthy!

I either - leave enough calories & have dessert, ie fat free yogurt, Muller do chocolatey flavours, virtually fat free ice creams like Skinny cow Or have either a boiled sweet or a toffee, a few calories but they last a while & one is enough to feel like I've had a sweet treat Or low fat/calorie hot chocolate drink like…

refined sugar (ie from chocs, fizzy drinks etc) is quick release energy, so not great & no nutritional benefit Natural sugars are better for you and obviously if you're getting them from fruits etc then there are other nutritional benefits that come with them. That's what I think. And just as a note, my protein is VERY low…

well I stayed away from the chocolate cake all day!!!:smile: Even though twice I went to it & almost caved in!!!!!:laugh: I had a small piece last night, as I'd promised myself I would & now, thankfully it's been finished up by my partner & kids!! So no more temptation!!!!!:happy:
