One for the ladies - problems losing weight with Mirena?
I've had a Mirena coil fitted for almost 3 years. When ever I gained a few lbs before having it fitted, I could easily lose it again by just sticking to MFP and doing exercise. But over the past few years (about 3 funny enough!) I have steadily gained weight and am now over a stone heavier than my 'usual' weight. No matter…

Zumba on the wii????
I was wondering if anyone had tried this? lots of reviews say it's really good but one said you need lots of space? Is that right? I can't make it to the gym/classes due to work & lack of childcare so want to find something I can do at home. Zumba looks like a lot of fun. So has anyone tried it??? How did you find it & did…

I've been on MFP before & it always works until you stop doing it! :huh: I'm the heaviest now that I've been in about 5/6 years. And listing my food diary has made me realise why!:embarassed: I have children & I would think nothing of finishing off their meals, the odd sausage here & there or half a bag of crisps. I used…
