Hi All Im a serial MFP yo-yo-er but determined to stick with it log in everyday and shift the weight. Im 27 work in London and work horrible shift patterns :-( im determined not to fall into the piling the weight on pattern that apparently comes with shift work, im hopefully going to make it work for me. Im also 5ft 2" and…

Welcome Julie, Ive been on MFP for a while on and off but determined to make this work this time, all please feel free to add me and we can all support and motivate each other.

Hey there I have been on MFP for a while and go through stages of being motivated I have recently started a new job and work horrific shift patterns now im settled in my job im commited to my weight loss journey. MFP is great but it needs to be used regularly which is something I haven't been doing until now, feel free to…

Best of luck, i have a goal of 2 stone for a friends wedding in May. Are you following any particular plan or just healthy eating and exercise?

Like you all, im determined that this will be my year and that i will not be saying the same thing next year!! I could really do with some motivational friends and inturn will offer the support and push needed that you give me. Please feel free to add me We will all achieve our goals!!

Count me in :-) I have been on my weight loss journey for 4 months now watching my calories and going to bootcamp 3 times a week and so far have not lost a single pound!! :-( But ive upped my exercise this week and am really determined to loose a stone (14lbs ) by xmas. Would love some support and advice feel free to add me

Try peppermint or Green Tea or water balance tablets, but eating veggies will keep the water retention down

Soup is filling and the right ones are lower in calories even better if you can make your own :-) I often have Yogurt and Granola for lunch this is mainly due to having bread for brekkie so dont want it for lunch as well. Ravoli Tuna Pasta

Ive been on MFP for months and not lost anything :-( i work out lots and eat well 90% of the time. Im 25 180lbs and first goal is to get to 168lb ultimate goal is to lose 40lbs. I have endo and really struggle to lose weight, need all the encouragement and support i can get, feel free to add me

Have recently been doing the girly version of the plank and last night at boot camp managed 45 secs in the proper position :-)

Seems like your gaining muscle and thats why the scale isnt moving, but your toning and slimming your shape hence why they clothes are loose but the scales wont budge. This is a fantastic achievement well done, who cares if the scales wont go down but your clothes are :-)

When doing it lying down you legs are more raised not too high but incling upwards slightly. It's hard work but i really feel it in my stomach lying down is even harder i often find myself grabbing the carpet :-)

Its such hard work but i really enjoy it now :-) yeah i agree a month and i want to be seeing results!! Ive challenged myself to not weigh or measure my inchs for 2 weeks, that will then be a month since i started bootcamp and hoping to see some more positive results

Not sure about crunches but toning and strengthening your legs sit on your chair extend both legs infront of you ( under the desk and no one will notice ) Then alternate each foot and tap your toes on the floor. We do this at bootcamp lying flat, sitting is not as effective but as soon as youve done 20 ish you will feel…

Im interested in seeing peoples responses to this as well, i started doing intense bootcamp sessions 3 weeks ago and yet to see a change although i feel so much better!!

Im def in!! Holiday 6 weeks today!! so this is perfect for me, where do i weigh in etc??

I cant wait, its an amazing thing to happen to our capital and i cannot wait to attend. Yes the terroism is an issue, but we are prepared and theses things can happen at any point at least were on high alert.

Im a bridesmaid for my best friend in May and determined not to be the biggest bridesmaid, All help and tips extremly welcome

Have you tried hula hooping with a weight hoop?? You will need to do other things alongside this, but i find it great for trimming, toning and defining your waist, hurts to start with but build it up slowly and youll soon notice a difference

Hi, Feel free to add me in also in the UK have just under 3 stone to loose, not doing anywhere near as well as you im currently 2lbs down :-( well done on your journey so far and hope we can spur each other on!!

Works as a quick fix, is this because you want to loose inchs in general or for an event??

Have you tried Hula Hooping??

Welcome to MFP, best of luck in your weight loss journey. Feel free to add me :-)

Thanks everyone its good to know its happened to other people, im drinking lots of water and green tea :-)

You can get special weighted ones, mine is heavier than normal ones so makes you work harder and better for toning. It also has sections you can add or take away to make it bigger or smaller, the bigger the hoope the harder and better for you.

Im back for the July challenge i only lost 3lb in the June challenge so determined to conquer this month SW - 180lbs CW - 177lbs GW - 172lbs UGW - 154lbs

Weigh In - 22nd June = 177lbs :-) woo hoo about time!

Im in, do you just do zumba from a fitness video??

Weigh In - 15th June = 179lbs again no movement and stuck very close to 1200 calories

I think everyone who is on a weight loss journey has a stage where they do not loose anything. If it makes you feel any better in 4 weeks i have only lost 1.6lb :-( i ensure that i have at least a 4000 calorie deficit every weeks and have only lost weight on one of those weeks. Have you tried changing your exercise regime…
