I adore fruit nowadays (mostly the sweeter stuff like grapes, strawberries and pears) but no, I used to barely eat any of it and I was totally healthy!! I find pears to be useful as they fill me up, but that job could be done by a whole host of other foodstuffs.

Hi @ambonds - I know how to share gifs on the desktop version but not sure if it's actually possible through the app? Someone else may know though!

Hi @briaraelanor and @MartiB856 - of course you can join! It's open to anyone and everyone.

The cool (ha) benefits of water that I have found are: - Keeps me hydrated - I love the taste - Drinking lots seems to ease DOMS for me (could just be imagined) AND THE BEST - Makes my poop super-smooth B)

Bio Oil!! Or, nothing. They don't matter. People get them just from growing in height :) Every person on the planet probably has at least one.

-EXIA: From Ancient Greek ἔχειν (ekhein, “to have”), present active infinitive of ἔχω (ekhō), habit. So, actually, ingesting a lot of fat would be "fatorexia." Other than the fact it's a nonsense word.

I'd recommend a C25k programme; maybe this is idiotic but have you got checked out for asthma? The "winded after running for five minutes" thing happened to me, and boom, asthma.

I've promised myself (read: saving up for) a rhinoplasty! Unfortunately weight loss does not shrink the schnozz :P I think I am about a year away from goal at the current rate of loss.

@estherdragonbat I have had the exact same moment - "yeah I could probably lose a bit of weight" - and then there was THAT photo that just hit me and it really, really hit home. Thank you for sharing, I am still not brave enough to share mine!!!

I get what it's saying - I would just call it "denial" to be honest. Even "body dysmorphia" is too strong. A lot of people 'have' this - they think they're a fine weight but candid photos etc. tell a different story. Also, urgh, Daily Fail. Love how they're calling her "deluded" in the URL too... lovely.

The gummy bear review with the guy dating the German girl absolutely murders me every time. "Gefarrrr."

How tall are you? How much more you can lose will depend on whether you are actually overweight for your height, or if you're after vanity pounds. I would adjust your rate of loss to .5lb a week and see what happens.

Oh WOW congratulations! You look like a literally different person. Very handsome too! Welcome to your healthy life :)

Bizarre, badly-disguised bragpost??

Unfortunately MFP is for adults only! :)

Hi, you don't have to read the books... the number of pages just gives us some goals to aim for. Some people do read them at the same time, but I don't.

YAY 77lbs gone forever! Well done you, I find it tricky enough sometimes but for a BF'ing mum I imagine it's far more difficult. And yet you're here with your success! Congratulations :)

If you can actually do a 5k in 9 minutes then you are Superwoman... did you mean 9 min/mile?

Yes, Zumba has helped me lose/maintain weight in the past! BUT it depends on the dancing type, how much effort you put in, and how much of a calorie deficit is being created overall.

Rice makes me sad, I find it bland and bizarre. The texture is unpleasant to me, too. If I'm served it I will try and eat it out of politeness though! Bagels I think are FOUL - they are SO sweet and, urgh, just awful. Pasta though... sorry, I do love a bit of pasta!

Oh my gosh @bdbchick - you're in Onederland!!!

Buying binge trigger foods (there are a lot of these for me), boredom, frustration, impromptu meetings with friends - there are pitfalls all over. All you have to do is remember that it's not a 'diet' in the traditional sense of the word; your diet is just what you eat. And you have to achieve balance where you can in that…

I can see my waist coming back!!!!!!

Click the Image button (4th icon in from right, looks like a mountain) above your comment, and then you can upload pictures. This is desktop though.

Doors held open by strangers, being flirted with for literally everything and anything, apologies if someone bumps into me... this all disappeared once I got fat.

Yay go Dave!! The fat pics thing got me off my *kitten* this time round too! Here's to health and good choices!

Holy moly. At least you spotted it relatively early though :)

MFP's a dating site now? :confused:

Another BUMP, this is just what I've been looking for!!

07/02 - 186.5lbs 07/03 - 186.5lbs 07/04 - 190lbs!!! Big time water retention... oops :3 07/05 - I didn't weigh! I got up late! Sorry peoples :) 07/06 07/07 07/08 07/09 07/10 07/11[
