A year of MFP (with photos)
It has been a year since I found this website and started to change my life. I never thought I'd get to the stage where I could eat as much as I do and keep the weight off but I've found a routine that seems to work. I've dropped from a UK size 16/18 to a 12-14, lost approx 28" and (depending on TOM) have dropped over…

C25K help
Hi, I started C25K on the 1st May, with very little hope. The first day was horrendous, I felt sick and my stomach was sweating and cramping. By day 2 I was already feeling an improvement. I've decided to not stick rigidly to the plan as I know from prior experience if I try to push myself too far at first I'll end up…

6 months...

Down two dress sizes 4.5" off of my waist 4.5" off of my hips 4.5" off of the fattest part of my stomach 2" off of each thigh :noway: Still have a bit to go but I'm 8lbs under my original target weight, 2lbs off of…

Needing a little boost after a bad weekend
October: 179lbs. Now: 149lbs. At my heaviest I was up to about 185lbs and this weekend have been told a few times to not lose any more weight! Well since I had a bad weekend I can't do that just yet but finally managed to get some decent comparison photos. August 2009 (about 185lbs) August 2010 (about 180lbs) April 2011…

They're not my legs!
Even when I was bigger my calves were probably one of my best features. I've always walked/cycled or been horse riding which helped keep them in shape, sure still fat but not wobbly (although my thighs were!). In the summer I've lived in vests and knee-length denim shorts. Last summer I was wearing a UK size 18. By the end…

First goal weight reached!
Started in october weighing 179lbs. I can't find my sheet with measurements but I'm pretty sure my waist was about 36.5", the fattest part of my stomach was 42" and my hips somewhere around 40". When I reached about 157lbs I changed my final goal weight. I originally set it as 150lbs but after not feeling much different…

Sausage meat from butchers?
I was just wondering how to calculate this, obviously will weigh the meat but I couldn't really find a generic one. I was thinking I could just list it as the same weight in packaged sausages? I'm hoping being from a butchers it will be slightly healthier than a processed sausage!

Bread related query..
I'm a pretty fussy eater and one of the things I avoid is the crusts on my bread. I always enter the exact amount but figured I'm eating less because I don't eat the crusts. Should I just leave it and be happy to know I'm slightly under, or should I reduce what I've recorded by half a slice or so? I'm not fussed either…

NSV!
My second in as many weeks :D Uk sizes; I bought a pair of 14 and a pair of 16 jeans in the sales because I was in desperate need of new jeans. The 16's were a little too big but the 14's were a little too tight. The 14's now fit fine, if anything are a little big! So I decided to try on some size 12's last week and see…

2lbs away from healthy bmi!
I was trying to figure out whether to post this now, or when I reach a healthy bmi, but that might be two weeks from now and I'm feeling a little uninspired, so figured I would post some photos and see what you think :) I've not been trying to drop more than a pound a week because I want it to stay off and can't cope with…

Net intake question.
I was just wondering, am I supposed to go by my net intake (on my front page) or by my food diary to ensure I eat enough? I am up to 1370calories in my diary but my net is only 858 due to exercise. Does this mean I need to eat more?

Quick question
Am I right in saying 11 1/2 stone is 161lbs or 73kg? Trying to convert it all confuses me!

My first little success!
I'm being brave and posting this. I thought I looked half decent in the photo on the left, until I tried on the same outfit 7 weeks later and 12lbs down. Didn't think I'd seen a difference until I put them side by side. Still a way to go, but nearly a stone off so I'm a happy bunny! :) I also tried on a dress for NYE about…

Slow and steady progress?
Tell me yours! I'm so hungry :( Think I may go to bed soon to take my mind off of it. I've kept under my calories but something tells me I won't have lost anything. Weighing myself tomorrow but dreading looking at the scales. I know I don't want to lose it quickly. I want it to come off and stay off but not seeing any…

Hello!
My name is Robyn, I'm 20 and (obviously) here for the same reasons as I guess you are! I've never been small, I'm not entirely unhappy with my body but I know that losing some weight will be better for me in the long run. I've already started. I was around 11 1/2st when I started university two years ago. I got up to 13st…
