I joined MFP a week ago and it really is very supportive, there are always people willing to spur you on. You are never alone - we all want the same thing here, we want to get healthy and stay healthy, whatever the background details we've all got that in common and I like to see the site as "we're all in it together!" You…

Hi! I see you've already lost 3lb - well done! MFP is a great source of support and motivation, there are always lovely people here to spur you on. Good luck!!

Everyone's dogs are so cute! This is my cocker spaniel. She will be five in August. She always insists that I log a couple of brisk walks every day :wink:
-
So true - I'll be over the moon if I keep losing a pound a week for a year! :bigsmile:

Wow!! I'm celebrating my first week too, but with much less of a loss than you! The site is great isn't it, and I love having the app on my phone to quickly log what I eat. If anyone wants to add me feel free, I could do with some motivation for the long journey..!

Thanks guys, my aim is slow and steady, it took years to gain it all so if it takes as long to lose I can't really moan can I?! It's all about being healthy in the long term.

Welcome back! The site is fantastic for support, we all want the same thing - to get healthy, and stay healthy - you're never alone! I've only been using MFP for a week but it is a great tool and in that week I've become incredibly aware of what and and when I eat and have managed to cut back a bit, increase my exercise,…

Awesome! Well done!

Well done, you look amazing!!

*raises hand* Me too. A year ago I could not leave the house, I was literally stuck. Sometimes I couldn't even go near the front door, I'd avoid looking at it! Now I go to the gym three times a week (always at the same time, always when it's quiet) and it does help with the anxiety, but I tend to push even harder the more…

My sugar is over every single day. I ignore it, because I eat a lot of fruit and I reckon sugar from an apple is better than sugar from a mars bar! :wink: I'm sure there are hundreds of people more knowledgeable than me who can give physiological lectures on it, but I'm not going to stop eating fruit just because it puts…

That's fantastic, well done!!

In May I went to the gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (apart from one when I had a migraine, but that doesn't count because I wasn't slacking!!!) I started using MFP on 28th May.

Hi, I'm not far outside Edinburgh and in my first week of MFP. Feel free to add me, the motivation is all good!! :bigsmile:

Hi, I'm from the UK too, and new to the site within the last couple of days :smile: Good luck, everyone here is really helpful and supportive, and seem to be full of ideas to squeeze in exercise where it seems impossible! :wink:

Not a lot of advice I'm afraid, I just want to say that I'm the same. I used to weigh myself daily (sometimes 3 or more times a day) and it can drive you insane because it jumps around all the time. I'm down to 3 or 4 a week now, but trying to only count my Sunday weight for my weigh-ins.
-
That's awesome! Well done!!

Hi Jo! I love the app, it's fantastic. I started using it to graph workouts, and in just a few days I've started calorie counting and forum posting too! i'm looking for motivation too, feel free to add me if you like :happy:
-
If someone doesn't want to, or isn't ready to, they'll find a million excuses not to do anything. It's not hard to log calories, but it can be hard to be honest with yourself about how many calories you need to log!! Much easier to believe other people have a magic secret!
-
Hi Christina, I'm from the UK too :smile: Well done on your lost half stone, and good luck for the rest of it!! I'm new to the site as well but it's clear straight away that it's full of motivation. WE CAN DO IT!!! ALL OF US!!
-
Hi, I'm new too. Looks like the site is really supportive :flowerforyou:
-
I'm a few miles outside Edinburgh. Nice to see some other UK-ers :smile: Well done on the canderel sweetener clarehaines - I can't do it! I'm racking up the calories in cups of tea, I'm trying to make my spoonful of sugar smaller each time but it's tough...
-
That's what I was going to say! You look AMAZING - well done!! You are an inspiration! :bigsmile:
