Wow, you look fantastic! I never cease to be amazed at hard work fellow MFPs put in to their lifestyle change - as someone said upthread, it's so inspiring.

Ouch, painful! I found myself with chondromalacia a couple of years ago - couldn't walk downstairs properly, walking even a mile sent shooting pains across my knee etc. It took me 3 visits to my GP for topical anti-inflammatories (didn't work) then oral anti-inflammatories (didn't work) until I finally got to see another…

Thanks Allie - you've done a brilliant job!

Hi Lou, and welcome to MFP! I've never done Weightwatchers so I can't vouch for that, but I wish I had found MFP years ago. The great thing about this place is that there is always someone around on the boards to swap tips and hints with, or to ask for motivation. I love the photo posts; they are a real inspiration. I'm…

Bit late for weigh in day but: SW 180 lb CW 168 lb GW 140 lb

Tortilla wraps are great - with some black beans and hot sauce, or pinto beans, or chicken. I try to make my lunch the most calorific meal of the day, because it's usually the only one I can actually sit and enjoy!

Wow, you look absolutely fantastic - what a transformation! Congratulations on your weight loss - you're a real inspiration :o)

I love my heels and fishnets, and want to look a great deal better in them - so I am in! Current weight 170 lb Goal weight 140 lb

Congratulations, Gil, from an ex-Brum resident :o)

I used to have Lucy from the Peanuts comic strip at her psychiatrist's booth, but thanks to MFP I finally have a pic of myself I can bear to look at (although my head is, thankfully, chopped off in my icon!!)

Wow, you look fantastic. Congratulations!

Hi and welcome to MFP. I thought the winter was tough here, but 9 months of darkness...wow! Great news that you've lost 3 lbs; may there be many more :o)

Hi and welcome - congratulations on your weight loss!

I get this sometimes - if possible, try a different type of exercise for a while. Good luck!

Heh - these made me laugh! My pet peeve is people who hog the machines at busy times and don't look to be doing a great deal on them. Go to the pub if you want to hang out and chat, people :o)

I'm just out of a relationship with someone like this, and I'm glad for the reasons the poster above mentioned. It started going sour when he assaulted me because he was overtired one morning after we'd had a row the night before. My face was a mess for a couple of weeks. I wanted to be with this man, and have his kids,…

Hi Molly, and welcome! You'll find loads of support here - it's a fantastic community. Best of luck :o)

I love the elliptical; low impact for my poor knees :) I whack the resistance up on whichever program I'm doing, and that helps me feel as if I'm actually doing some work. I know it works because I can definitely feel it in my calves the next day.

What brilliant news to start the day with! Congratulations on your weight loss - and finding your abs :0)

Thanks all; I really appreciate your support :o)
