I've come to bed hungry ( yes I'm in bed reading this post) and I'm not getting out of this warm place just for 'food'.. It's so not worth it!! I've had tea, I'm done for the day. Xx

Keep the food wrappers, she's going to want to scan them!! And let her take charge of the remote! Lol!

"Fridge pickers wear bigger knickers". I see it on my fridge everyday and it makes me smile..

My scales get me out of bed quicker than my alarm clock;)

I had a similar relationship with my nan and I hated her for it. She was my mums, mum. So when my mum died ( I was only 24) I decided that I didn't need to be false anymore. One of the last times I saw her she make a dig about my coat and how I was too fat for it!! I walked out and didn't look back. She never met my kids,…

I had a touch of heartburn today as I ate some warm bread, it stopped me in my tracks. It was the first time I'd thought about heartburn or reflux since Christmas and you've just reminded me of that moment. It's a fab NSV!!

We live in Wiltshire so I understand the long journey to the coast. We went Weymouth last week and had fish and chips! The grease was too much for my tummy, but it was a lovely day. Well done on your loss X

My weight is stalling but I'm still logging and weighing, even with the children off over Easter I haven't gained. I also noticed last night that since I've lost these 20lbs, I no longer automatically grab the hand rail to haul myself upstairs.

I live in a country lane with busy roads at each end, it's a little longer at about 1 mile, but I take a bin bag with me and litter pick as I go. I look like a tramp in my old painting trousers as I go but I honestly don't care what people think of me, they can judge all they like. Do what works for you and stop…

Mine is ham. It's not too calorie expensive and the smoky ones delicious.

Wiltshire in the UK. Right near to Avebury. But oh how I'd love to be in Texas or Canada. X

I'm really looking forward to getting started. I bought davina's about 4 years ago, I sat and watched it with a cup of tea and a packet of biscuits! That's one of the reasons I'm 260 lbs. I've asked my sister for the box set, but I'll have to wait another 5 weeks for it. I haven't looked forward to my birthday so much for…

Thank you for your advise everyone, I can't wait to get started.

Thank you both very much. I feel to heavy to exercise but I know I should start or I will be 'floppy'. Hopefully doing it in my own home will make me less concious of my 260lb weight.

Hubby and I share a medium size one now instead of having a large one each. A big fresh salad and ta da!!

Hi, I'm 5' 11' Sw 280lbs Cw 261. From reading the posts, it seems around the 10% mark is when people are having their weight loss noticed. I think if it like this.. If you had a big red balloon and deflated it by 10% would anyone notice or would they still see a red balloon?? Personally I can only see that my tummy has…

And pigs in blankets.. Tiny sausages wrapped in bacon and served with turkey on Christmas Day.

I gaze at it longingly x

Diet Coke and jack Daniels.. Oooh anytime

Easter eggs are for my kiddies, if i want chocolate, I will buy myself Lindt, the darker the better and in a bar so I can boringly count the calories. Oh how I miss the days of stuffing as much in my mouth as humanly possible and sitting in silence sucking the life out of it..

Hi, I started Dec 28th and have lost 18lbs. I'm getting frustrated at the moment but there's no way I'm going to stop!

I shared an extra large spicy meat pizza tonight with my hubby. It was a made up one from Walmart / asda and was approx 1600 calories. I had 3/8's approx 600 calories. Xx

Making butter cream filling and eating it from the mixing bowl.. Make crumble topping with no intention of making a crumble.. And lovely instant custard powder from the packet. Gert lush

Here in the UK, my 6 year old son has just been learning about WW2. I have had to explain ration books to him and how little food was available. There wernt any 'larger people' around then. Eat to live, don't live to eat!!!

How about a good old fashioned meal planner? Did you shop on an empty stomach? Looks like a lot of unnecessary food to me.

Hi, I'm in the UK too, Wiltshire where the sun has never got its hat on anymore

Couldn't you just buy a child portion pizza?? Have a large salad with it perhaps?? Don't over indulge, you'll feel rotten, in more ways than one.. I've been craving roast pork for 6 weeks but wanted to wait for a special occasion. Today being Mother's Day was my chance and ' oh boy! ' did I eat!!! But on reflection, I…

I'm an every morning gal too.. Straight after the bathroom and naked!! I lay in bed excited that I might of lost 1lb so it's what gets me up at 6am..

Hi guys, my hubby has had reflux since he was 15! Turns out he has a hernia, so please be realistic about stopping taking meds.. As for gaining weight being a side effect, I think this can be a possible side effect which we like to use as an excuse! Don't get me wrong, I have the depo injection instead of taking the pill,…

Hiya, my hubby had reflux for years, actually since he was 15. Spaghetti bolognaise and orange juice were killers.. He now takes lanzoprozole tablets daily but he has a mild hernia, so please get yourself checked out.. Weight loss will only cure so much . Xx
