Brilliant. Thanks guys.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm actually finding making good decisions easier than I thought. I've been to the gym a couple of times and My sister in law has just entered me, with the rest of the family, into a turkey trot. A 5k race before my first ever thanksgiving meal. I didn't even know that was a thing being as I'm…

tight pants

Open plan office so can't do a lot of the exercises without funny looks but I did just go and climb the stairs a couple of times. Might start deliberately going for coffee/water on the floor above.

Great idea! Looking for inspiration!

Lots of good advice. I'm going to try the lemon juice but as its summer I'll see if replacing the hot water with cold and maybe add ice-cubes tastes ok. For some reason I can't enjoy tea. My current snack is celery... I've got quite used to it now and it basically I can eat as much as I like but it doesn't have the sugar…

On the days that I don't I am more likely to go over my calories... so its survival! :-p

I love my Panache Sports Bra and they are a little more interesting than some. http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/sports-bras/#/1?level=1&show=16&sort=1&exclusive=false&new=false&sale=false

Welcome back to MFP.

Hey I know this is an older post, but just thought I'd second the comment about it possibly being an autoimmune thing. I started having hives back in March after an immunisation shot. I've been told to avoid caffeine, alchol and stress as these can aggrevate it. I'm on antihistimines every day and as I'm particularly…

Definately going to try these and if a sucess send 23 cookies into my husbands work...

I'm 5'11 and down nearly 10kg from 95 to 85.6. I hope to buy my first pair of size 14 trousers next week. As long as I've been buying my own clothes, I've been a size 16+.... I love being tall but being in a male profession it probably helps...hard for a man to look down at you if your taller than him lol. Actually I'M…

Sounds very sensible... I find that when I have given my self a fixed goal it hasn't been as sucessful as I would like. If I do better than my goal, I tell myself that my goal was too easy, and if I miss it, I then get really depressed.... working as hard as your can but not concentrating on the weight seems to work the…

Thanks!

It is hard, and I haven't completely worked it out myself yet... so thanks everybody for their comments so far... I think I've sussed breakfast, lunch and dinner (just about) by planning what I'm going to eat before I go down to the restaurant when I'm not hungry, but my real stumbling block is the free cakes at breaktimes…

I don't have very good self control but I'm improving but my main route to sucess is not putting myself in the way of temptation. About a month ago I tried to buy a small treat for myself and when I got to the checkout I was told it was 2 for 1. So I politely said I didn't want the 2nd one, which she then queried and I…

Dreilingda, Which one is it that you use?

I've just started training for a 130mile cycleride which involves a training schedule that slowly increases my distance. I'm also trying to get back upto swimming 3km. I also need to do some hill training. However my main goal at the moment is losing weight, so I want something that can tell me when I'm exercising…

I'm studying for my PhD in the UK. Your in the best of company here, I love the great motivation and support that MFP encourages! Good luck with your weight loss goals. Always open to friend requests! :-)

Dont know what NSV sztands for but amazing that you are down two pant sizes.

Another UK peep here... open to any friend requests. Good luck with meeting your goals.

a) Loose 10 lbs in 30days b) exercise for at least 30mins every day c) take vitamin tablets religiously d) no chocolate for 30days e) start training for coast to coast cycleride (upto 30miles in one day)

194 down to 174 by Christmas...

Stick... learnt first on stick and I just can't get used to driving an auto in the states... especially going up hills when it shifts up five seconds after it should. Though I must admit I do acknowledge the benefits in town driving... however for long journeys... definately stick. I'm an engineer and used to work on…

Bump!

Is there any medical evidence to say what you should be eating (e.g. 1.2 * Maintenance). There seems to be a lot of confusion within my group of friends. Some have said eat what you crave, but I crave plenty of junk food and I'm not even pregnant.

I'm programming and checking over equations while wearing a t-shirt that has a pictorial representation of "eye love apple pi" from the museum of science + industry chicago. :blushing: and I'll be watching the big bang theory later to relax.

Feel free to add me!

Previously my husband has been unsupportive (i.e. your fine the way you are category) but he's now joined the supportive clan. However I don't understand what caused the change. So I can't offer any suggestions only that there is hope for partners.

Bump. Sounds tasty!
