Shooting pains randomly shooting through my knees, stopping me in my tracks.

Oh I love this show!! Dr Now is so straight talking.. he makes so much sense, 1200 calories a day, high protein no snacking.. love him.

Me too from 2003..and the top I wore.. neither will fit until I’ve lost another 2 stone, but at least I know the size I was when I met him 😉

This is me today.. I feel like in one day I’ve just ruined everything and perhaps in the past I’d of thrown in the towel.. but hey it’s a new day tomorrow, and I’ve already planned my day.. some days I’m under my calories by a couple of hundred, some days I’m over, today I feel like I left it too long between meals and…

After losing 25lbs, it doesn’t show and my knees aren’t feeling much better, but my balance has improved, I used to stumble slightly like I was tripping over my own feet, haven’t done it for a few weeks 👌.

I’ve lost 3.3 points from My BMI this year 👍

You’re doing great. For me the key is not to over think it! Keep up the good work .

I'm back into the habit of being hungry by the time I fall asleep. And there is nothing wrong with that. Accepting that feeling a little hungry isn't bad. It only makes the food taste better[/quote] I’d much rather go to bed on empty than over full as I sleep so much better.

One day at a time. I started 31st December, there is no magic formula and if all these other lovely people can do it then so can we. Go us !!!!

Total admiration for you. My day 1 is tomorrow, although I stopped with the crisps, chocolate, biscuits & booze 2 days ago as I’d had enough. Going to do some meal planning today write myself a quick note. Good luck to you all, stay focused. Xx

Massive congratulations. I totally understand how you lost all self respect, but I think that some of us need to be at our lowest before we help ourselves. How are your knees?? I’m obsessed with knees? Mine are agony, slowly getting better in sure, but I’d like to think that I haven’t totally messed them up!

Great work! Keep going .

I can’t wait for my knees to not hurt, currently refusing to take anti inflammatory tablets as they are keeping me focused.. taking it 5lb at a time and counting every morsel

I can speak for myself after 32 lost of 100 or so goal...my knees are stiff and hurt when i first get up from sleeping or sitting, but it only lasts a couple of minutes and my legs are stronger overall. No knee pain when walking, though some on stairs still. I am hoping so much to get more relief.[/quote] Thank you, I’m…

How are your knees with the weight loss? I started (again) at 279 this week and my knees are keeping me focused as they are under so much pressure, that I’m in agony.. has the weight loss made a big difference?

That your balance starts to improve

So glad as I’ve now lost 8lbs!

Plan your days in advance, don’t go over calories and celebrate every 1lb lost.. that’s all in doing and all I feel like doing at the moment. Hopefully once I shift a bit of weight, I will regain some energy, but at the moment I’m focusing heavily on planning a day in advance. Challenge yourself to stick to your shopping…

Thank you..I’m really quite excited cx

Thank you both so much.. One day at a time xxx

I’m a huge fan of granulated sweetener and I make myself a very large milky and extra sweet coffee which generally makes me feel gross!! Or brush your teeth earlier in the evening signalling ‘ I’m done ‘ xx good luck

Awesome!! 271lbs or 19st 5lbs when I started on Monday, day 3 and I’ve already lost a couple of lbs.. once I’m in the 18 stones I’ll feel a little bit happier.. go us!!

Wowee!! You look beautiful.. I’m back to it after gaining back 20lbs of the 28lb lost.. my knees are agony so here we go again

Thank you. I feel a bit useless I guess, as I have the gym sat there for the taking and used 2 or 3 cardio machines the last time I had membership. I'm not after muscles, just weight loss. I don't like feeling like a newbie at stuff, I'd just love to have myself a small routine which I can do 3 times a week. It doesn't…

Thank you guys and gals. I guess we all have to start somewhere. ;)

Don't be to hard on yourself. There is no idyllic family life, we all just have to muddle through I'm afraid. If everyone else is pleasing themselves, don't be afraid of taking some time out for you xx

Today is January 1st.. this time last year I was 15lbs heavier. To do that again would be awesome, but just to get through today, then tomorrow, then the next day being careful with my calories and true to myself..

2 big mugs of tea fills me up and something like a word search to get me engrossed whilst watching tv.

14 pound to 1 stone x
