10lbs to drop. 6 months and nothing!
I've rejoined MFP after a long old break, at which point over a few years I'd shifted a couple of stone and felt okay with where I was at.

MOTIVATION REQUIRED
Hi! I've had the iphone app of MFP for a while now but thought I'd get involved online as everytime I google a fitness question I get lead here and I find what everyone writes very motivating, Which is exactly what I've worked out I need - MOTIVATION. They say the last stone is the hardest to lose and they are right. I'm…
