Oh I do spend more than 5 minutes per day on site, but it takes me just 5 minutes to sort out my food for the day. There is so much help and info to take on Regards Paul

Well done Gail - that takes some dedication to lose that amount of weight, you are a good source of motivation to us all, Paul

Thanks for posting, you are a great motivation. Regards Paul

Ooops !!! A nice walk down town earned me 177 kcals, but the McDonalds Cadbury Creme Egg Mcflurry cost me 405 kcals !!!! Well, it is was a lovely sunny day, and I just couldn't resist. Hope you are all well, haven't had much chance to visit the board since I joined a couple of weeks back as work is really hectic at the…

I always find stories such as your a great source of inspiration. I put my success down to people like yourself, as seeing your before and after pictures makes you realise weight loss is more than possible if you want it badly enough. Well done and thanks for the inspiration. Regards Paul

Thanks for sharing your journey, its a great motivation to us all. Regards Paul

A very motivating story for all , well done on your success, and thanks for sharing. Regards Paul

Good luck in losing your remaining weight, this is a great site for learning the relationship between calories in and calories out through exercise, and balancing your nutritional needs in general. Using these type of sites has transformed my general health over the last three years, helped by being in the company of other…

Thats Monday's for you - hopefully the rest of the week will get easier !! Paul :smile:

Thanks Karen - it has certainly been a good boost into my second week here - I know next week won't be as good as the first week always seems to be a greater loss due to losing a bit of water. Regards Paul:smile:

Hi and welcome to the UK thread, its a very friendly and motivating place to be as I have found in my first week here. Like yourself, on my way down in the past I had many times where I stayed the same some weeks. Don't let this put you off, it is normal and your body just adjusting to its new food regime, there won't be…

Good morning everyone - hope you all had nice weekends, wasn't it nice to see some blue skies and sunshine. I am especially pleased this morning, as with my first week of keeping a food and exercise diary for the first time in around 18 months my weigh in this morning confirmed a 3.8 lb weight loss over the week. I didn't…

Well done you, what an inspiration to others - you look 5 years younger !!! Paul :smile:

LOL - yes, know what you mean - I think the Wi Fit is more appealing to them, but I keep telling them that gardening is healthier - but they won't listen !! Paul :smile:

Good afternoon all, isn’t it a lovely day out there !!! kendrafallon – yes, I know wheat you mean with spin – at the start of a session I get that “ what am I doing here feeling “ but then look at the HRM at the end and see I have burn’t 800 Kcal and think, more food !!!! kateg789 – hi to you too – you have arrived at a…

Good morning everyone, Thanks for the kind words and nice welcome from everyone yesterday. Already I feel well and truly motivated, and for the three days since joining this site have got back into the habit of logging food and exercise. I find it really helpful to see how much extra calories you can get through the…

I will be resuming Gym routine next week after an absence of around 9 months !!! - My lovely daughter has just started work at our local leisure centre so we can benefit from a family membership of £ 40 for the year - so yes, next week, I will be back into the swing of it, with a few spin classes too - I found spin really…

Thanks for such a nice welcome from some of the UK'ers on here who have already been in touch, it seems a great site. I did introduce myself on the general introduction board yesterday, so would like to say hello properly on the UK board, and hopefully give and receive some inspiration over the coming months as I get on…

My advice, is to stick with it for sure on this site, it will work if you want it to Three years ago I joined a calorie counting web site, and logged religiously for 12 months, all my food and exercise. I ate all the things I liked still, just less. From being a couch potato I started to exercise, just walking at first,…

Thanks Katherine for the link to this thread - it is good to know there are lots of people from the UK all with the same goal, I know its going to be a great help !! Regards Paul :smile:

Hi Federico - stick around, I am sure you will find lots of like minded people to give help and support in losing weight. Good luck. Regards Paul

Hi - hopefully see you around on the message boards !! Regards Paul

Thank you - and same to you too !! Regards Paul

Thanks for the welcome, and yes, like yourself I found this amzing app via my iPhone, the iPhone never ceases to amaze me !! Regards Paul

I know its not. Work contributed to most of my stress, but i did eventually do something about that. I changed jobs, and that was a great help. I think anyone goes through a one off stress when a close family member dies, I certainly did. I am now back on track mentally and exercise is a great stress reliever as I have…

Wow - well done on your first week, a great inspiration to all, and with a bank holiday in there as well Regards Paul
