hehe....we all have our vices! If you are coping with keeping it in your diet then leave it there. It is a healthy fat and full of protein which many people need after a good workout. It could be worse...you could be addicted to crisps and choccies....like me! :laugh:

Hiya Anne and welcome!! MFP is a fantastic programme and so many people are having great success with it. Good for you for getting some exercise in...walking is a brilliant way to burn calories and get some fresh air. Stick around the forums as you'll find great advice and support and you can help others on their journey…

I think I'm slowly getting over my facebook addiction, I have seen so many people fall out on there! :ohwell: I always log in though each day as I'm arranging a friends hen party through it, just don't spend as much time on there now. I don't think I'd cope if I had to leave MFP!

the 30ds is fab fab fab!! I love it :flowerforyou: Zumba dvd's are also great and fun too! :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Hi there, it is a struggle...but the think of the long term benefits. Try not to focus too much on the scale and embrace your new lifestyle. I'm trying to lose the last 13lbs and it is tough but I've come this far, there is no way I'm going back. You'll get great support from friends and fellow MFP members…

Good Luck! You really are in a fantastic place to start becoming a healthier you! I too struggled with diets and had never healthily dieted until I was introduced to this site. I would advise you to stick around the forums too as you can gain fantastic advice and support from fellow members. I'm sure there are a few groups…

Hiya and welcome to MFP and the forums. The site is fantastic and has helped me lose over 40lbs. Any questions post them in the forum and someone will be there to answer your questions. The forums are fantastic for gaining great support and advice from other members. Good Luck :flowerforyou:

Hi there!! I love jogging...you'll soon get hooked! Even though you may be going slower while jogging when compared to walking it is much much higher in intensity than walking. You will find that if you walked at 3mph you wouldn't even break a sweat...but jogging at this pace uses many more muscles and movements which will…

Hiya....good job getting out there, enjoying the sunshine and getting a workout in! I love jogging, but havn't left the treadmill this year. I'm also in the UK and I'm looking forward to getting outside to jog...when my degree finishes. It's such a beautiful day too! :flowerforyou:

It depends on how long you have been counting calories..when I first started I felt hungry constantly. After a few weeks it settled down to the point where I would get food "hangovers" from eating too much! Give your body time to adjust...a litte tummy rumble is normal in the first week...your body needs time to get used…

:flowerforyou: hi there unhinge...you are definately in the right place to take control! You will gain friends easily through the forums...plus you will gain support..something that has helped me!

Loopytoucan...I LOVE fishing!!! I have never been married and I have never been to Mexico!!! Sorting both of those out this November! :flowerforyou: Some lovely responses on here....awwww!

Hiya, how about weaning yourself off caffeine slowly and replacing it with water? I promise you will love the benefits...nothing wrong in having a couple of coffees a day, but water really does help weight loss too...plus, it's good for you! It depends how you eat...my dinners are normally the largest, but not through…

Hi there! Welcome to MFP and the forums! Have a look around...there are loads of great people here to support you and give you advice on any non medical queries you have!! I started about a year ago and now I'm 13lbs away from my first HUGE goal! Give yourself little goals to achieve...and tick them off as you go along! It…

You look absolutely Fantastic! What an achievement!!! Your waist looks teeny tiny too! :flowerforyou:

there are LOADS!!!!! Not me though....but welcome to the forums! :flowerforyou:

welcome :flowerforyou: I'm from the UK so much much colder than Miami you lucky thing!! This website helped me lose a load of weight in a healthy way...something I have never been able to do before! Fantastic...5 days!! :flowerforyou: Here's to the next 400! :wink:

I really like Kirstie Alley too...I'm not in the UK so we don't have the coverage but for anyone to say something like that to gain points is awful! It's the same in Britain, we have one judge on "Dancing on Ice" who really has overstepped the mark several times in the last competition...he wound people up so much that a…

Hi there TheJungle77! Welcome to the MFP forums! Good Luck on your journey and I strongly advise for you to stick around too. You'll find great advice and fab support groups to help you along the way...you can share you knowledge too! Good Luck on your journey!! :flowerforyou:

I think this is fab advice!! I'm also going through my finals here in the UK and have my dissertation to focus on first before my exams. I have found I eat more too when I'm stressed...but it's only a "blip" don't get yourself down about it. Think about all the workouts and healthy food you can get back into in the…

Haha...great responses! :laugh: :laugh:

Oooh, new baby...congrats! I would start off with a low chunky heel that you wore before the pregnancy, just so you know they are usually comfy. Wear them for a few minutes at a time around the house and your feet will start to get used to them. I've been trying to wear my wedding shoes in for weeks now with little…

Oh yes, I absolutely agree! A night of dancing in my killer heels and my thighs and calves feel like they've done a 10mile run!! I would definately promote this...not if you have vinyl on the bathroom floor though (heels will pop straight though it) and make sure you do a health and safety check before hand! :laugh:

I suggest that people step away from this thread and gather your thoughts together and calm down. This was a brilliant post to start with and could be really helpful to a lot of people. However, please don't make things personal...you're risking a very informative thread being deleted because of the personal remarks. Step…

I lowered mine by 5lbs although I'm going to see how I feel at 140lbs and re-evaluate. As I'm getting closer to goal I have decreased the amount of weight I want to lose each week to 0.5lbs. Not sure how it's working at the mo, so may reduce my intake back to 1200 soon as I'm currently set at just over 1300 cals.…

Fantastic post and glad it has helped so many! I never have never gone under 1200 cals even after exercise as it usually bumps up my appetite! I think though each individual is different. As long as you are fueling your body correctly then you're okay. The main deal is to listen to your body... Here is a link to the sticky…
