Anyone fancy joining me on a 30 day shred?
Hi all I'm keen to kick start my weight loss again after a few casual months topped off with a holiday to Turkey (delicious food!). I once did a 30 day shred and it was quite successful, but it really helps me to do such things at the same time as someone else. Would anyone like to join me on a 30 day shred programme? I…

NSV - I'm a medium! :-)
Before I joined MyFitnessPal I had been buying XL clothes for a long time. But in fact the last item of clothing I bought before addressing my weight problem was XXL. I'm 5ft 6. I really shouldn't be anywhere near those sizes. Today I bought my first Medium sized garment for about 20 years! It was lovely. I first tried on…

Paulatim sed Firmiter
My old school motto meant "gradually but surely". When I first joined MyFitnessPal the weight dropped off me very readily. Now that I've been here a year it's coming off a lot less easily, but it is still coming off. Even when weight loss is very slow you do occasionally pass big milestones. Today I dipped under 14 stone…

Christmas present to self of completed 30 day shred
Hi all I bought the 30DS DVD a couple of months ago, watched (while slumped on my sofa) the first five minutes or so and then put the DVD back in its box, where it has stayed ever since. So far my weight loss has been achieved entirely by food reduction plus a bit more walking than I used to do. But I've hit a bit of a…

Break through loads of milestones quickly the English way
Sometimes getting across a milestone on the scales is a real encouragement to me. Thankfully I'm English and I have milestones coming out my ears! We tend to know our weight in stone rather than in pounds. 14 pounds make one stone. If I were to tell an Englishman that I weighed 198 pounds it would mean virtually nothing to…

2 NSVs in one weekend (woo hoo!)
I walked into my nearest town (Romford) yesterday and bumped into four different friends, each of whom I hadn't seen for a while. Each one of them said I had lost weight :-) Then, today I realised that the belt that I had had to buy myself after two months of dieting, no longer fits me, even on the tightest hole! Since…

Loose spelling?
Has anyone else noticed the huge number of people on this forum who spell the word lose as loose. Is this another funny American spelling, or is it just an often repeated spelling mistake? Back where I come from, loose is an adjective used to describe one's trousers (pants, for my American friends) having lost a lot of…

50lbs lost since the start of the year
Hi all I hope these photos work - I haven't posted any before. Before - 251lbs Current state - 201lbs When I went for a health check at the end of 2012 the doctor said I really ought to lose some weight - I had high blood pressure and cholesterol and he said I could deal with both by dieting. I also turn 40 on Thursday, so…

Stuck at the same weight - any suggestions?
Hi all. This is my first post. Thanks to MyFitnessPal I've managed to lose 37 pounds since the new year. I'm very happy with that so far, but unfortunately I seem to have hit a period (six weeks) of very slow weight loss. Can anyone suggest ways to break through this wall? I've tried a refeed day, but that didn't seem to…
