Had my tonsils out last year and was the quickest way to lose 1st, however exam stress meant I put it all back on plus some! Currently in my final months at uni and the comfort eating still continues and the lumps are getting bigger. What made me think I really should do something was the appalling snapchat pic my son took of me from behind....it could be used as a form of torture!! Any tips please to save this cupboard raider x

    You can do this! I've been finding reading about everyones tough journeys helps a lot, it's nice to know we're not alone. I also love looking at the progress some people have already made so far. If they can do it, we can do it too! :)

    I used to go to Weight Watchers... and I can't afford it right now so I'm using MFP
    One of the first things my leader always said was to clean out the kitchen and cupboards of all the food that is too tempting.
    Hope this helps!

    Make sure you log everything. It's amazing how it adds up. Don't take what you like out of your diet. It's more about portion control to me. Calorie deficit. This is really working for me. Good luck. You can do this!

    Thanks, like you say it does help to read everyone else's progress and stories. I used MFP before but I didn't use the community, I think knowing you're not alone will help greatly :)

    Same here, I found WW worked better for me than SW but its the cost and having the time to attend meetings. I have finally bought myself some scales so I can stop being ignorant to the fact that I am actually putting on weight and the older I'm getting the eaiser it stays on. Thanks for the tip, fingers crossed I won't actually eat the cupboard contents whilst im clearing them out! :)

    Thanks, I really appreciate the tips and support, that is my main thing, portion control, I know my portions are probably bigger than they should be but I have myself in a comfort eating rut to help cope with the stress. By seeing that everyone else is succeeding will hopefully spur me on :)
