IN 3 WEEKS TIME!!!!!!! Oh Sh*tE :noway: Who else is trying to…

SHOUT OUT TO THE TRAINERS!
So I realise not everyone is fortunate enough to have or have had a personal trainer - I've been one of the lucky ones and I just want to take a moment to give them the thanks they deserve for all the screaming & shouting, for keeping us focused, for the support and understanding, for keeping us motivated and for giving us…

Compare your loss to something random
Hi all :smile: So here's something I've just thought of that might be a bit of fun... we've all heard the weight loss comparisons e.g. 2kg's is 4 whole blocks of butter; or wow - that's a whole pocket of potatoes etc...

Flying back to South Africa on Saturday and I CANNOT wait to see if they'll even recognise me when I walk through the doors of the Arrivals Lounge, hehehe! :laugh: I'll report back when I get there, and maybe post some…

1200 calories minimum, nets, deficits and such... I'm really
I initially posted this as a reply to another thread - but it got me thinking and I'm actually really confused so I'm reposting it here as a new thread. What I've been doing has been working, so it's going to take a bit of convincing to get me to change my plan, but please - have a read and get back to me. Ta* ----> I…

Hi All :) [and: how do I add my ticker to my Facebook page?]
Hi All, I'm not completely new to MFP, but I've been keeping a low profile 'til now... however, now that I'm making some real progress I've finally found the courage to crawl out of my shell and say "Hello World" ;) I love this site, and it's been SUPER helpful during the past month...there's just something about the…
