Hiya, I'm from Hertfordshire. I have crept back up to 12.07 stone and want to lose 35 pounds. I need Motivation! I've got my sisters wedding at the end of May, I'm a bridesmaid and would love to have lost at least a stone. :-/ x

Don’t worry! I think what you feel is normal, I've been there too - feeling like people are watching you and judging you. I know people say, don’t worry about what other people think, but that is easier said than done. Once you start going regularly you just get over those feelings. I think, for me anyway, being fat and…

Hiya, im 28 from Hertfordshire. Ive got about 26 pounds to loose. But these are the tricky ones, not easy to loose and i keep falling off the wagon.

Hahaha I think we would have instantly regretted seeing that!

YES! I want to be under 11 stone by xmas! Ive got a James Bond themed xmas party on the 20th December, got a really nice dress but its a size 12 so will be a squeeze. Need to up my game! CW: 11.13 Xmas GW: 10.13 Pounds to loose:14

Well done everybody. I'm in Hertfordshire! - and also struggling with cutting down on alcohol at the weekends, then the overeating the next day when I’m feeling delicate. ;-) Need some will power. 

This is the only thread i can find on this topic - is it too late to join the group? I drink every weekend - lager, like up to 8 pints plus shots. I know :-/ im going sober for October to loose weight, it will completely speed up my weight loss cutting out those calories.

Definitely I agree with this comment, this is bullying in the work place. If they were saying things like ‘you look like *kitten*’ to an overweight or obese worker, they would be straight down the disciplinary route! People at work always feel the need to comment negatively on my diet/healthy eating plan. But I would never…

Yes Please!! Just got back from a 2 week Holiday - 2 solid weeks of eating and Drinking - Ooops!

Mines open, add me up...

NICE ONE!! Ive lost 10 pounds. HIGH FIVES ALL ROUND!!!

St Albans in England!x

Yeah i feel the same, i try to eat my 1200 cals a day and burn 200-500 cals with exercise. (if i ate those exercise cals i would just be undoing the good work i have done with the exercise.) This method of sticking to my original cals is working for me. But since you are working off a LOT more cals you should eat more…

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood Luck!

lol - good responses!! I do too, my boyfriend. But he is more of 'a tempter'. He knows im sticking to set calories, and that i will treat myself to nice things if i have enough calories spare. But he loves his food (as do I, thats why im on MFP) and he eats loads of nice things in front of me and ALWAYS says 'would you…

I have the same thing, i loose weight around my waist but still have the bulge around my belly button - apparantly, (i have read)this is all to do with your natural shape. But you can burn fat (like your zumba classes) which will reduce the weight on your tummy , but in the meantime you can tone up the muscles underneath.…

I know i shouldn't but i weigh myself most mornings, it's a bad idea because i obviously fluctuated this week and thought i had put on - prob water or something like that. But my actual weigh in day is fridays and to my complete surprise i have lost 2 pounds as well!! Now i am feeling totally motivated!! Going to run…

Hello everyone, Has anyone had any success on the scales yet? I haven't, :-( in fact i have put on weight! arrrggghhh! I was a bit bad on Sunday but that is the only day I didn't exercise and Im burning about 300- 500 calories a day, normally and sticking to my calories! Ho hum, guess i need to make sure i have no bad days…

Thanks everyone - Yeah the reviews i found online aren't good, plus what you guys have said. Think it's a no no to Adios!!

Yay a new week!! My sunday was pretty bad - couldn't resist my mums roast dinner!!! :-/ BUT! Just did a 1 hour run with my sister so feeling all proud of myself (and sweaty) lol Hope everyone else is feeling positive this Monday!! :-) x

I have been doing ok so far, have been for a run with my sister every night this week and today i walked into town instead of driving. Sticking to about 1200-1400 calories a day too. I am feeling really positive about loosing the 10 pounds in this challenge!! Hope everyone else is feeling positive too! :-)

I'm in! Need all the motivation i can get!! Name: Sarah Starting Weight: 164.5 Starting body pic: I can't work out how to do this, and I just ran upstairs and took a load of pics as well! lol Goal Weight: In this challenge, I'll say 10 pounds. 154 (plus the 0.5) ;-) What you plan on doing: Sticking to my calories, even if…

Me, Hertfordshire. :-)
