  • Firstly Welcome :-) Will power can be our own obstacle at times but it can equally be the one thing that changes our lives forever. I have found using my imagination and picturing myself in a smaller outfit a massive help on those days when you just 'can't be bothered' to think about what you're actually eating or…
  • I'm in Chelmsford (England)
  • Hi everyone, I'm also from Essex - Chelmsford. I joined MFP last May but didn't really use it properly until July last year and managed to loose 20lbs really quickly by using MFP. Then some would say I fell off the wagon over Christmas and gained 5lbs (surprised it wasn't more) but decided almost 4 weeks ago to get my…
  • Yep, I'm in Chelmsford :smile: How you getting on with MFP?
  • Thats so true. I have to do the same
  • I have hired a personal trainer who comes to my house and I raised the same question. He advised me to start with 20 minutes cardio. I do 10 minute warm up (which you could call cardio to be honest) then followed by 2 10 minute cardio work outs then I go onto core and strength exercises. I've been doing 3 1hr workouts a…
  • I think once a week is good because day on day you can fluctuate and so by weighing yourself once a week/fortnight you get a true representation of your weight loss.

The other thing I do is to eat my breakfast slightly later than normal, say around 9:30-10; I'm lucky enough to be able to do that in my office without a…
  • I started at 250lbs last year, I lost 20lbs initially but fell off the wagon at Christmas and gained 5lbs but I'm back on track and have lost 20.5lbs int total since using this. I started back on my 'Shrink Liz' mission 2 weeks ago and this time round I have added people from various forums - people I don't even know - and…
  • I'm having the same issue with my left foot at the moment. I have had this before and it usually starts when I've changed from walking in heels to flats or if I've done more walking than normal.
  • That is fantastic, well done! I've been on MFP for a while now but only really buckled down and have been using it properly for a month now and the weight is coming off :-D. I love MFP and the fact that I can also use the app on my iPhone. You should be really proud of yourself :-)
