    I am trying to loose 100lbs as well. And I too have considered gastric surgery. I've been using the app on my phone since mid June and am down about 20lbs. It's really great to see the progress in my hand. Good luck on your journey.

    Good luck - I would at least try this and then see how you feel. Set yourself a 30 day challenge, set up a forum and see how you do. Everyone is so lovely here. x

    I myself need a lot of encouragement. I have been trying to lose weight for the majority of my life. I have a very hard time at it. Majority of my family have weight issues and I am trying to get out of that situation. I just started today. I am currently in a weightloss clinic provided by my doctor and I lost 11 lbs. last month, but nothing this month. A friend turned me to this website, so hopefully it will help me. I want to feel beautiful inside and out and be happy for me and show my girls what a good role model is. So please feel free to add me and we can encourage each other.

    Best wishes to you all on your journey :-D

    Hi, I'm also 33, also in the UK, trying to shift weight after having my third baby (nearly 6 months ago now). I have lost 30 lbs in just under 5 months, you can do it!!! :drinker:

    Hi

    I am in the UK, am 33 (next month) and have 100lb to lose too - are you me? LOL. I would never consider gastric band surgery - the though of never being able to eat a proper meal again would be torture! I'd rather cut back and eat healthily 90% of the time to get this weight off, but eat what I fancy on special occasions! I can do that with MFP! I previously lost and regained about 10 stone, that time it was with Weight Watchers, but this seems to teach me more about nutrition and encourages me to exercise. My friends had WLS and she was so sick. That was in Dec last year and she still gets sick sometimes because she eats a bit too much. When she first had the op I was scared she would die, she was so ill. That put the final nail in the coffin of the idea od WLS for me!

    Anyway, feel free to add me :)

    WOW! You're all really nice!! :D i've used this site before but literally only to record the wight. didnt bother with all this part. i'm under a weight loss management programme with my doctor too. it could lead to weight loss surgery or not. choice is there i suppose. petrifies me tho. could talk all day about it but the kids are driving me mental!! back later.
    you've no idea how much this little string of posts has helped already. actually you probably do!!!
    THANK YOU!
