I'm trying to do 1200 calories a day. It's a struggle - breakfast is usually a piece of fruit, but most lunches and dinners are ok. Weightwatchers has some good recipes for 400-500 calories per main meal.

I know the feeling - I started here, lost motivation and put on 10lbs from my starting weight. I was feeling very demotivated and came back on. I know because of health reasons, Christmas, birthdays I'm going to have issues over the next few weeks. But I'm back on here, if nothing else to get back into the routine of…

Spike from Buffy.

Just come back on here - and bought a treadmill for the house so I'm really hoping to get motivated

Friend request sent

Have sent you a friend request - won't be able to work out, but we can motivate each other on here.

Thought I'd bump this up to see if anyone else is interested. Started well - 26 miles in 3 days so there's still time for people to join in.

Let's check in weekly. Every Thursday.

I'm going to start on Thursday - but there's no harm in having a sneaky day or two head start. :smile:

Hi, I'm from Surrey. Would be good to have a few more UK friends...

I'm up for that. Will break away from the computer every hour to do some. Thankfully I work from home so no-one will think I'm a complete loon. Just the cat

Don't just think about the actual weight loss, I'm finding lots of little successes such as feeling healthier, being able to exercise more and clothes looking a bit better. And each of those little things helps to motivate me.

That's a great victory. I think the NSVs are better at times than just judging the weight.

Woohoo, well done.

Hi, welcome to MFP. Feel free to add me as a friend and hopefully we can support each other.

I've just been on this website - hope it helps

Great job. That's one of my goals - to go from Obese to Over. Still got another 24lbs to go :ohwell: Hopefully we can support each other.

My goals for August: 1. Lose at least 6lbs 2. Swim every day and work out every other day 3. Swim 75 lengths on days without workouts and 50 on days with It's not much, but if I build up my stamina and energy I can be more ambitious in September...

Thanks - I'm coming to the stage where it'll be very easy to give it up so all inspiration/support is welcome.
