25, Male, North West UK!

I'm back after a 5 month break. Lost just over 150lbs in total since August 2014. Looking for more friends to share and receive advice and support to and forth! Feel free to add me. I don't bite... unless if you're an Apple - I eat healthy these days.. it's nothing personal... ^_^

You need to learn to train yourself to see working out and eating right as a life style change, not a chore or something that requires effort. Until you do that, your negative mindset will make you feel this way about both of those things, quite regularly to be honest.

@bryantparson I'd say you're around 30, single, and a traveller? :)

10!

I feel like sex is important but it should never be a brick that makes up a relationship or makes it fall apart. Making love to your spouse is a bonus that both of them should/can enjoy - but a relationship can (and should imo) be able to survive without it should that be the case.

I hear cancer patients, mental health patients.. angina patients.. all drink diet soda. I wonder if there's a link...................................

If you mean surgery.. I strongly advise against it. You will be on vitamins and other supplements for the rest of your life.. and there are many complications. You CAN lose weight without surgery, you just need to know exactly how, and once you know how.. it'll seem easy. Trust me, August last year I was 462 lbs. I thought…

I ate healthy foods, but too much of them while doing pretty much no exercise. :/

I had this when I started out losing. I soon realised that the reason I was having headaches is because I was drinking literally just three glasses of water a day. I upped that to 8 glasses (or more) and suddenly not only did the headaches stop, but my workouts were energized! But like the others say, advice on here is…

60 minutes exercise bike. Doesn't feel like I'm doing enough even though I'm losing 2-3lbs per week!

From my personal point of view, no. The quality of life while "big" is not good, no matter what anyone says. I used to say that I was happy while fat and that it's possible... but now I've lost over 80 lbs since August '14, I'm starting to see what it's really like to feel happy and that beforehand, I was in pure denial.…

@jrline Was reincarnated from a Cat fish!

Likes.. theatre? :D haha

Recognition of this issue is one step in the right direction. But, people here are right... you really need to go and see a therapist or dietician. Or both. I feel you, though. I panic now when I know I'm going to eat something that I deem as fattening, etc. The way I deal with it now is.. still have those foods, but make…

I was simply so tired of my quality of life sucking so much. I was living life, but the quality of life due to my size was so bad, so stressful. -I couldn't walk or run for long periods of time. -Cinema seats were too small for me, I had to squeeze inside. -Public transport - I was too big for most things. Just in general,…

Like I stand a chance!

Clothes designer? hard to tell!

Well.. I honestly didn't have any idea. Thank you for educating me! you have changed my view forever. :)

I feel you. But.. as cliché as it is to hear, there is somebody for everybody if they seek it. You'll find someone special eventually. ^_^

I think it should only matter to those who have a special someone. If the holiday itself makes you sad, you should probably find a special someone for yourself! personally, after coming out of a long-term relationship last year, I'm enjoying being single. There is more to life than relationships (in my opinion).. though,…

I've heard mixed stories about joining slimming groups. People say the best part about it is having support from other people losing weight as you are, but those that have lost weight (that I knew) gained a lot of it back afterwards. It was just too hard to stick to long-term.

For sure!

Yes, and also, cute glasses. D:

My inspiration is health, and just being able to enjoy the rest of my life without all those "complications" or "restrictions" that being overweight/obese brings!

What an inspiration your story has been thus far. I started out in August at 462 lbs, since then I have lost 70 lbs as of the end of December. I hope it's me posting a story this great a year from now!

Has a unique colored cell phone!

I too have over 100 lbs to lose. Lost over 60 lbs so far since August 2014. Feel free to add me! :)

Cute~

Looking forward to this! I wonder how much I can lose by Easter!
