  • @harmar21‌ thank you! It's always nice to hear from someone who was in a similar position. You make some good points. I would probably go with my husband and maybe a session or 2 with a trainer would be valuable too as some of the others mentioned too. To be honest, once I go for the first time I will be fine, it's just…
  • My Uni made postcards of this, I love it! I have it on my inspiration board :)
  • Hey everyone :) Whilst I have no children, I do have hypothyroidism too (hashimotos). I was diagnosed at 18 and an 28 now. Every time my tsh went wrong I gained 20lb. So now I have approx 100lbs to lose!! It's going to be a long journey but I have previously lost weight. It was very slow mind you (7lbs in 12weeks) but it…
  • I do plain popcorn in a bit of olive oil with a bit of red chilli powder - my fave! :)
  • Hey Sandy, our stats are similar, I'm 5'3 and 262 lbs and aiming long term to be at 160. Abit of my background is on my profile. I'll send you a request, have a look if you like :) I'm no expert, have only been back here for a week but totally understand the need of a support network and the people here are really…
  • For me egg is the key . Scrambled, omelette, soft boiled, poached, any way pretty much. And with vegetables in it, especially spinach you can't go wrong! :)
  • Thanks @999tigger‌ I'm sure I'm definitely making it bigger in my mind than it is - that's why I have anxiety disorders! But I'm working out at home anyway, so it wouldn't be the end of the world if I didn't join a gym. Whether I do or not will ultimately depend on where I am with my agoraphobia so in the meantime I have a…
  • @FabulousFantasticFifty‌ that's my fave bit too! :D so impressive! I would have Zack from Crisis Core. Love him!! ;'(
  • Mithering may be a northern term XD
  • I am definitely considering and you are definitely motivating me lol but I also have real anxiety problems than lead to panic attacks if I don't get it under control. I sound like a shy person but I'm not! I have moments of extreme anxiety and then I'm me again lol
  • That's really good advice @jofjltncb6‌ thanks!! I'll keep those points in mind when shopping around :) Haha yes, got to have a person like that around, we always look at each other when we think somethings weird or hilarious :D that would definitely alleviate some anxiety!
  • *Sorry for missing out so many words in that post, anxiety issues! Lol but you get what I mean :)
  • Thank you @999tigger‌ if I do go I do have a rough idea what's a decent routine but to fair at this weight anything would help! Lol. But Yeh maybe the first session with a personal trainer may help with confidence. I may just wait few months. Totally undecided lol
  • Thank you @jofjltncb6‌ that's really nice to hear! It's not so much that they would get in MY way, but rather that I will be that annoying person doing low intensity whilst they twiddle their thumbs waiting to do a 'proper' workout lol. We have actually looked into gyms in our local area and doing research through reviews…
  • Men: the dip at hip bone, lips, jawline
  • This is something that terrifies me. As someone who has approx 100lbs to lose, I can't build up the courage to join a gym! I've attempted weightloss a few times, and even before I was so huge I was always active so do have machines at home (bike, rower and few free weights) but have motivation highs and lows. This time…
  • That's really cool! I can swim but very very slowly and I'm sure my technique is weird lol. I want to eventually take swimming classes when I have more confidence! Can you suggest a dance video you like? I would love to know how to dance lol Atm, I'm mainly using my stationary bike at home but usually do kickboxing once a…
  • Thank you. What kind of exercises do you like doing?
  • This is my plan too :) the only thing I'm restricting is fast food as my husband and I are doing a challenge to see how long before we miss it (18 days so far and not struggling yet! Woohoo!) Add me if you like :)
  • Hi Nicole, I am very similar, age 28, 5'3 and 262lbs. I'm from the UK but active on here. I'm in my first week of MFP (this time around) and so far have met some really lovely, genuinely friendly people :) you're welcome to add me if you like.
  • I absolutely love this. I'm going to print it out to put on my inspiration/motivation board- Thanks! :)
  • @attemptingfierce‌ I really like some of the advice given here and will also use it for myself. Small changes, thinking long term and just taking it a step at a time. I'm focusing on logging all food, everything in moderation with the exception of fast food and not allowing others to push me into eating/drinking things I…
  • Hi, I also have 100lbs to lose and also looking for support and conversation. It seems like alot but if we break it up into smaller goals we can do this :)
  • Hi, I'm very similar :) 28, married, cat lover but deadly allergic ;'( also love Disney and have approx 100lbs to lose. I weigh 262lbs currently at 5'3. I love the Harry Potter world and although that has no relevance to your post, I have to mention it :D I've lost a tiny fraction of that amount previously but ended up not…
  • Hi, is this mentoring/adopting thing still open? I'm less than a week into my restart (with approx 100lbs to lose) and would love to be adopted. I've done this twice now and do think something else is needed to help me when I'm feeling unmotivated etc as I have given up twice when weight loss stalled, fatigue set it, or my…
  • Hey, I Don't have pcos but do have hypothyroidism so understand where you're coming from! Progress may be slow but we will get there! Slowly but surely :)
  • You look fantastic.. Congrats and Well done for your hard work! I'm at the start of my journey and this is very inspirational. I will be doing this slow and steady. Again, you look great! I especially love the pic of you on Nov 5 :)
  • I have a few photos (full length) from a few months ago where I weighed the same as now. I hate the scales but will weigh myself every 6 weeks. In the past I've found measurements to be much more rewarding in terms of losses :) I agree about before and after pics being inspirational, take your before pic and don't look at…
  • Hi! Well done on reaching ur first milestone! :) I have about 100lbs to lose! But starting with small goals too. (10lbs increments). I'm also from the UK. I'm just using the app too at the moment, basically log everything, good or bad! And trying to do some form of movement/activity 30min a day. Good luck everyone :)
  • Hi, I'm from Manchester :)
