Well as of today I've logged in for 10 days! Seems pitiful by comparison but have to start somewhere :smile: Anyone broken 1000?

Those are good numbers! Well done. :smile: These days I think of it as an achievement if mfp doesn't get a chance to tell people I haven't logged in! Lol. But I'm working on improving that!

Thanks for those replies! Really appreciate the help. As for what is my shoe selection process.....not as good as it should be as money is tight so it is usually the cheapest running shoe I can find. Will be saving up so I can get properly assessed for running shoes and get a decent pair....maybe I'll request from my other…

Wow! Absolutely inspirational!! Well done and keep it up :) x

I don't have any experience in this area so feel free to completely dismiss my suggestions if you want I won't be offended! How about finding some fitness magazines that have relevant articles in them and strategically leave them lying around, open at the article you think may help him. That way if he picks them up and…

Barbados at the end of April! I'm so excited as I've never been outside of Europe :happy:

Completely know how you feel! I have lost all my weight in the past, then put it back on, and this second time round is so much harder than it was before and I don't understand why. I work very well with routine, when I manage to get into one I can be pretty good with my diet, almost religious about it. But it doesn't take…

You are not alone at all! I've suffered with depression on and off for about 6 years and I know how hard it can be to just get out of bed in the morning. I also know how easy it is to take it out on those nearest and dearest to you. Have had many an argument with my boyfriend because I've been feeling low and fed up. If…

I've started using Truvia! Don't know anyone elses opinions on this but it's calorie free and made from a leaf. VERY sweet, only need about 1/3 teaspoon to 1 spoon sugar. Lovely on strawberries :) x

I know what you mean, the tiniest things can have so many calories!! Welcome to mfp, feel free to add me as a friend if you want/need support :) x

Thanks! Will definitely give it a go :smile:

I haven't read every comment here, but thank you for posting this. I have an awful addiction to Diet Coke and have wanted to stop for a long time however every time I have tried the headaches start, and being someone that suffers from migraines anyway (for other medical reasons) I almost fear getting headaches because of…

Welcome to MFP. Exercise is definitely the way to go, but you do need to choose healthy food choices as well. As has been said just make one small change at a time and before you know it everything will fall into place :smile: Good luck x

Wow that's amazing. I started to do the C25K before Christmas but then things got really hectic and I never finished. Think I'm going to start again soon, need to plan it into my schedule and get my treadmill to mine rather than at my parents. Well done!! I hope I feel as good as you did in week 5 :happy:

Yeah, I know the feeling! You are most definitely not alone :happy:

Tricky situation to be in. I don't think there is going to be any real right way of approaching this type of thing. Whatever you say to your friend they will probably get very defensive about it and either argue or tell you it's none of your business. However, by letting him know that you have noticed he's changed and that…

Brilliant! Thanks all, I have taken the plunge and ordered the ft4. Let's hope it helps me get fitter in 2012 :smile:

Ok then, I'll be the advocate for slimming world! lol. For me, having tried both slimming world and weight watchers (and just doing it myself) I think I prefer slimming world. Using mfp does help you to now over indulge, but slimming world I find really helps me differentiate between the good foods I should be eating, and…

Nope, Porn and pawn sound exactly the same, in my head anyway as I'm stuck at work and don't want people to think I've gone crazy by saying what would sound like the same thing over and over again out loud!! Lol. I'm from South East London (the outskirts) and can sound smart when I make the effort but generally I think I…

I've been contemplating doing this. I get through Diet Coke like it's here for a limited time only!! I have heard a few times that it's bad for weightloss if you carry on drinking it. Maybe it should be a new years resolution to cut down (I don't think I could give up). Good luck! I hope it helps your weightloss :smile:

Oh my god yes!! There may be a fight on your hands for him I'm afraid!! Lol.

Please don't single anyone out over this. If you are spending Christmas with a group of loved ones let them indulge as they will and enjoy themselves and perhaps when everyone is feeling bloated in front of the telly maybe say something like "Well I'm going to have to work this lot off in the new year, who's with me?"…

Brilliant!! I kept checking this post to see if there was anyone else out there! Lol.

I love both these films!! Awesome :) I also love Xanadu - very few people even know what that is let alone like it!! Haha.

I don't think I look much like my sister, although a voices sound pretty much exactly the same, or that might just be our telephone voice! She's shorter than me by about 4 inches, dark hair where as mine is fair, she has an hour glass figure where as I like to refer to mine as the blob. I don't even really have a waist…

I'd quite like an extra hour in my day so that I can dedicate that time to exercise. Alternatively a time machine so I can do my exercise and then go back in time to regain that hour/couple of hours to do the other things I was meant to do as well......not sure how that would effect the continuum though......

Totally agree with pretty much all the films everyone has mentioned here. What about American Psycho though? I kind of felt at the end like nothing had actually happened so watching the film had kind of been a waste of time, anyone else?

This clearly is a bone of contention with some people! What a debate. Personally I would never ask someone how far along they are unless they had themselves actually told me they were pregnant. Surprisingly, considering I have spent a lot of time in my life overweight, I have never had this happen to me. Never have my…

That was really fascinating, thanks for sharing :smile:

I'd never heard of this but thanks for the links! I've read up now and think I'll give it a go :smile:
