  • I'm from Wales! anyone can add me, welcome to MFP! :)
  • ha ha ha! there are so many different variates of fish and I was once told that fish that actually tastes fishy isn't cooked properly! You should try every different type of fish you can, there's bound to be one type of fish that you like! :)
  • To be honest I think the best motivation that I've had is from myself! I've tried to get people around me that complain about their weight to join MFP and exercise but they lack motivation themselves and end up giving up after 3 days. When I started MFP I made the decision to try it and really go for it all guns blazing,…
  • Welcome to MFP, and hello new friend :) I needed to lose 44lbs too and I'm now 22lbs in and feeling great. I have better eating habits and a much healthier view on foods now, this place can sure teach you a lot! :)
  • Exactly and you are welcome :flowerforyou: You know you have the strength to overcome your want for the junk and you can do it! Have faith and keep reminding yourself you deserve to be happy.
  • I've had a lot of people say "No WAY! You don't look like you are THAT heavy!!" But I'm quite a tall girl and feel like I have to mention this to people when they say that to me. I still get "You don't need to lose any weight, you're alright" But at the end of the day you should do what makes you feel comfortable and happy…
  • Yup, it's such a great site and glad you are joining the millions that have discovered MFP! :) It's been incredibly easy for me to lose weight and keep track of my diet as I have the app on my iphone. It's the only app I use every day without fail! I'm sure you will do great, feel free to add me if you need a buddy for…

  • By all means admit it to yourself if that is what you think it might be but don't hold onto it. If you give in and have some junk food you might say to yourself "well it's an addiction and I'm doing well" If it was me I would be more likely to succeed by saying "I made the choice to eat it and that's why it happened,…
  • But you don't have to be RICH to spend a little more on your healthier choices. It could be as little as £10-15 a month and you benefit MASSIVELY in other areas.
  • Seriously how many men do we all know that actually notice anything we change to our bodies?! Even if they notice I doubt they have the sensitivity to tell us we have done well and we actually look good! Don't be discouraged by lack of comments, its about how you feel about yourself that matters! If someone pays you a…
  • TOTALLY DISAGREE! Yeah the rich can buy more and maybe organic food is more expensive than non organic but that doesn't stop you going out and buying healthier choices than you would normally! My grocery bill has increased too but so has my health and love for life which is priceless in my opinion. Stop spending money on…
  • If you continually tell yourself it's an addiction in my opinion you are more likely to not be able to take your mind of it. Tell yourself you aren't addicted to junk food you have just made the wrong choices in the past! From now on you have the CHOICE to eat or not to eat junk food. Educate yourself on everything…
  • I've lost 22lbs since I started at the middle of April/beginning of May. :) I have a problem with my hip so have been unable to exercise so have lost the weight all from healthy eating! I have about 20 more pounds to lose before I get to my goal weight. Add me as a friend if you like and we can encourage each other along…
  • Sutekh, she didn't say a FACE for radio so I think you can pass it as a compliment. And for the guy that said we cal Yorkshire puddings "puddings" and the American lady that said a pudding in america is something made from milk. Maybe that's why we called them puddings. Because Yorkshire puddings are made from milk, ha ha.
  • My sister has been trying all sorts of diets her whole entire life pretty much and I'm very lucky I never had problem with my weight until about 2 years ago. I put on 2 stone and now I'm determined to get back to the slim me and make sure that never happens again. The first thing I chose was a lifestyle change not a fad…
  • That sounds so great! Congratulations! :flowerforyou: I am motivated to the brim to star working out and getting fit again once I can and know when I start my life is going to change forever. I'm really excited and I want to see the benefits you are seeing now :) Well done.
  • I was born in Wales but my dad's from Derby and my mum's is from Hull! I've lived in Wales all my life but grew up with a mixture of a S.Welsh accent and an accent from 'up North'. My school friends with strong welsh accents thought I sounded more English than Welsh. Now Ive grown older and naturally widened my social…
  • I have hip dysplasia too. I'm 24 and had it for coming up to two years now. They told me it should have been spotted at birth and from the age of about 11 I noticed it always used to click on my left side. It never used to hurt until about 2 years ago when it started hurting a lot. After a lot of hospital appointments they…
  • ha ha! That's awesome, it must be great dropping 3 whole dress sizes. I hope to do the same! :)
  • Michelle Bridges body is awesome, she's totally inspired me to get into exercising asap and go for it until i get there!
  • Well I think you have your 20 :) ha ha! I would join too but there are plenty of people here. I think I've got about 26lbs to go roughly. I'm 24 and 5'8" so my goal weight will hopefully be around the 140 mark. I've had a few friends from MFP and have even deleted a few of them from complete lack of motivation to lose…
  • To the lady that replied that she drinks a gallon a day, do you think that might be TOO much water?
  • From the UK too here but Wales to be more precise! :) Feel free to add me too, put a little note telling me who you are in your message please so I know where you have come from! I'm aiming to lose about 42lbs in total and I'm almost at 20lbs! :)
  • Thank you noelheart. There are some good and bad stories here which I think means you can only go with how you feel right now. I used to panic about the future of me and my man as a couple. I'd worry about him cheating on me in 10 years time even though I know he wouldn't any time soon. What about when we've been together…
  • I'd be interested to see other peoples stats if you have scales that do the same? Can I improve on these figures? I know when I'm able to work out I will be able to know whether muscle training will increase my muscle perctentage but I won't be able to do that for a while. Should the body water % be about half or should it…
  • ha ha! I like your wife's subtly :) I'm 24 and yeah we have talked about marriage to each other a few times so he knows how I feel about it and i knows how he feels. I'm not in a good physical state at the moment, I'm waiting for an operation on my hip so can't really enjoy life as much as usual until that's done. i think…
