What started your phobia?
With me, I have a MASSIVE fear of baked beans. I don't mean dislike, I mean FEAR. When I was younger, my mother would force me to eat beans, I hated the taste, the texture, even the look of them - and as a six year old, it's not right to be throwing up after eating. So not only do I have this fear of baked beans, I also…
What Do You Wish You Would Eat?
I personally wish I ate Pasta - noodles, tagliatelli, anything, as I know it's good for you if you're going to be working out, and you don't have to have a lot to have a substantial meal. I've never tried spaghetti bolognese and I've never tried chop suey, I've never tried those little ravioli pockets. I've tried noodles…
Nervous About Gymming it
I am currently awaiting my copy of NROL and I really want to make a good go of it. I have some dumbbells at home (the max weight is 5kg I think) but I think that I'm only goi ng to get the best out of this program if I go to the gym to do. I am SO nervous about going to the gym though, with all of the bloody posing men,…
Work Colleague NSV
Hi All, I thought I'd share this, I must admit when it first happened I thought not a lot of it, but now I realise that my weight loss is not only affecting me, but the people around me. I was talking to a colleague about the 'motivators' that have kept me going through the past year (weddings, birthday parties, holidays…
I don't recognise myself anymore!
Hi All I found a picture of me from a couple of years ago that I used on my bus pass. I remember thinking at the time 'Wow my makeup looks good and I don't look too bad!' Looking back, my makeup is amazing, (by my standards at least) however, I look appalling! So I thought I'd do a comparison picture at the 4st (56lb) mark…
Legs Bums and Tums without doing Floorwork
Hi All, I tried doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred and when it comes to the floorwork, I just can't do it due to pain in the centre of my lower back, it feels like there is a ball pressing into my spine and as I'm losing weight the pain is only getting worse. I would like to tone my legs my bum and my tum, but I find it quite…
My year of Weightloss
Soooo... I went to a pal's wedding this time last year and I thought I looked pretty hot. However, looking back at the pictures I was looking pretty... Well... Not. I decided that I was gonna lose weight again that day (I lost 2st previously but put it back on) and I would be determined NOT to put it back on. So... Here I…
0.6 Away From My First Goal... Over 40lbs Down!
I know I haven't yet reached my goal, but I thought I would post here as I am *so* proud of myself! With MFP and my wonderful friends and supporters that I have met here, I have lost the most weight I have ever lost, and I am around the same weight that I was when I was 16 (I'm 24 now). Before now, I had lost 28lbs, but I…

Hi Guys, I have added some information in for us to start with tomorrow (Craig you can add yourself in if you still want to join in) so just put this link into your browser and fill in the blank spaces with your information. Please don't put the " symbol or write lbs/kg as this will throw out the formulae that I've put in…
Argh!
I can't find my measuring tape, any ideas of where to get one? I saw one on amazon which is supposed to be accurate but I don't think it would go around my tummy :s
Before Pictures
If you would like to join in, add a picture of you from the front, the back and the side so that we can see how we are all doing :D (I shall post mine later when I get home from work) Please let me know whether you would like to do this every ten days, or whether you would like to wait until we have gone the full thirty?…
Day 2 - 08/01/12
Well while I wait for the DVD to be ready, I thought I'd write today's discussion. I must admit I'm really not looking forward to the workout today, my arms and bum are killing me! But then again I suppose it means its working! Edit: I had to give up on the weights half way through the anterior raises, my arms are bloody…
Day 1 - 07/01/12
Good morning all, So, how did day one go for you? What went well? what didn't go so well...? Well for me, I did better than I normally do on day 1, so I know my fitness has come up a little, I added weights this time (only thing I could find that was equal was two comfort conditioner bottles haha. My arms are absolutely…

Introduce yourself
Hi I'm Leanne, and this is my THIRD attempt at 30DS - I'm determined to do it!
How Does Being a Fussy Eater Affect Your Life?
I've found that I haven't been out to a lot of food places becasue there is nothing there that I would eat - and if I did eat them, the chef would have to take half of the ingredients out! As a child I wouldn't even eat the batter off chicken nuggets from McDonalds - my parents used to have to peel it off! I like a lot of…
Fabulous NSV! (Made me Work Out Harder)
So, I started this journey around five months ago - I started off at 265.8lbs and I looks pregnant. I bought this top (as I'm a bit zany) at the beginning of my journey and I sent a picture to my pal to say 'does this look cool or what?!' (Please ignore my ridiculous face) And yesterday, I was looking through the pictures…
Do You Have Food Compulsions?
One of my more light hearted food compulsions is that I only eat Walkers Ready Salted Crisps (that's not even all of it!) and I have to sniff them before I eat them! I think it's because I only eat one brand / type of crisps, and I can actually tell the difference in the freshness of them by the smell. Luckily my boyfriend…
Which Foods Can't You Stand?
Me personally, I can't stand cheese, baked beans, tomatoes, gravy or pizza. There are a load more, but I must say, those are the things that I really can't ever fathom eating in my life!
How heavy were you at (UK) size 16?
I really REALLY want this dress, but at the moment I don't want to buy it for the size I am now, as it won't look as nice as it does in the picture. Currently I'm at the border of size 18/20 on the top and size 22 on the bottom and I weigh 250lbs. So basically I want to buy the dress for a size 16 and I wanted to know how…
I was a little down this morning...
I've been here at MFP for about three months, and I must admit I have had weeks when I haven't tried as hard as I should, or worked out as hard as I could, so progress is slower than most. HOWEVER... Check out my progress pics! (they are on Facebook as I can't mark them up here like I can there and I can share my progress…
Anyone in Sutton Coldfield?
I'm looking for a walking / DVD buddy, my boyfriend won't join in and to be honest its no fun doing a DVD alone and to be honest I don't feel safe walking alone! I doubt there is anyone around my area but its worth a shot! Thanks x
How much do you think it is feasible to lose by...
June 2012? I've just booked a holiday and I really want to look nice for the beach / pool. I don't want to think to myself, 'Oh I can lose x amount by then...' if it really isn't likely. If I don't lose the weight by then, I know the only person I will be letting down is myself and I really don't want to do that again!
NSV - Little Bit Back'anded
I had a cuddle from the other half thins <<< Ha freudian slip; *this* morning and he went, 'Aww I can't squeeze you as hard anymore 'cause I can feel your ribs! :( ' However, I thought that this was a good thing, as I haven't been able to feel them for a long time! (Plus he does get excited and squeezes me quite hard!) I…
