    nope that hasn't worked either I have /img at beginning and end in square brackets and when I hit save changes they disappear off the ends and no photo, but if you highlight the links in OP it will open the pic on a new page (new tab) but I can't seem to get them in this post! :sad:

    Use those links, but stick [ img ] before the link, and [ /img ] after the link. Take out the spaces between the square brackets and the "img"s, and press Post! :) That should work.

    ahh it worked.. except top pic came out massive and bottom tiny.. have to hone my editing skills! .lol!

    well I have Ataxia which kind of helps as everything takes me more energy to do even simple stuff like getting a shower and dressed, then once I got to a point I could exercise for longer and do some cardio added that on top, dropped carbs.. it just started dropping off.

    After a slow start once I dropped the wheat element too I dropped another 19lbs in the next couple of months. (about 3).

    Just got in those 14's! .. lol can't get in all 14's yet but have some PJ's size 14 and a cardi 14-16 I can get in too, most of other clothes currently wearing are a 16 (from size 20 clothes in top pic).

    I'd like to get to 9st 3 (133lbs) to complete wii fit, but my doctor doesn't want me to drop below 9st 6 or 7 so I have a 'spare stone' to lose if ill before dropping into the underweight category. ( I get alot chest infections through winter and can drop half a stone been ill a week or two).

    I'm aiming for 9st 6 (60kg) but I might let it drop just below to complete the wii fit then double my calories the week after to get back to around 60kg where Dr wants me to be.. then maintain. (hopefully!)

    After a trial maintenance week I worked out I just need to add few more carbs to weekly menu's (not wheat based ones) like few more rice and potatoes to keep weight stable once I get there!

    My grandmother had ataxia and I know how hard it is to stay positive. I wish you all the luck in the world in your weight loss journey. Your story is inspiring.

    Thanks... guys... I'm a little stuck at minute after a dodgy TOTM I've lost the water weight but nothing else since beginning of December... I'm only 2lb off my '30lb lost' goal and was hoping to make it for my xmas eve weigh-in... which is soooo frustrating!!

    Not sure whether to try upping calories or try Intermittant Fasting to shake things up a bit?.... I'm getting some new wii games for xmas so I'll be working out a new routine Boxing Day! .. maybe my body is just tired from dieting and exercise and needs a break for a week? (started in June)

    @Lururu: I've had Wi Fit plus since it first came out and only really made progress on losing weight on it since June since I could exercise for longer, if you count the first Wii Fit game Ive had it years.. lol!.. and still not got there!!.. so I'm determined to finish this damn game! :laugh: and besides 3lbs under isn't much... a couple of chocolate brownies and fish and chips and I can soon put that back on!! :wink: xx
