Goal achieved today! (please excuse the manky toenail - a hazard of my new active lifestyle!)

Give me the light silvery ones any day... I have stretch marks on my stomach with wrinkles and scars so deep, it puts me in mind of Tommy Lee Jones. I learned to love my stretch marks a long time ago (and I'm confident enough to wear a bikini) but since I've lost weight I avoid looking down when I'm leaning over because…

I track this prediction on my own spreadsheet: I started MFP at the end of January, and whilst 5 weeks in the prediction was on the low side, by week 6 I had caught up. Due to holidays, planned 'cheat' days and the 'woosh' effect (see other threads for this), I generally 'match' the prediction ONCE every 3 or 4 weeks, give…

My partner jokingly complained about the 'lack of upholstery' on my boobs and butt... and then by learning more about CICO and watching his own calorie intake, he lost some of his own excess baggage!

Yes - my weight loss report looks just like a staircase too (aside from a 10 day holiday 'spike', quickly lost).

Apples Strawberries Mixed pickles/Piccalilli/Lime pickle With mixed pickles, I can easily eat half a jar at a sitting... but with piccalilli and lime pickle, I find that eating a few spoonfuls 'kills' my tastebuds and other cravings disappear!

Eating out at work functions is tricky - you rarely know what's available/on the menu, or how it will be cooked (i.e. butter/oil/sauces) so it is hard to plan the rest of your day. At the last black tie dinner I attended, I ate slowly and did more talking than eating/drinking... not only did it keep a good conversation…

I've been attending a mixed-ability weekly class for the last year, and whilst it has been ok in terms of increasing flexibility and learning form, it wasn't until I did the '30 days of Yoga' (with Adriene, as posted earlier) that I really got into it and starting to feel/see a big difference in stamina, strength and…

Hi all... 90 days ago I weighed 160lb (11st 6lb), and yesterday I weighed in at 10st 5 and a quarter. It CAN be done, and to be honest, it hasn't been that hard: a little extra yoga, learning to ski, and making sensible decisions about what I put in my stomach (I think my diary is open). I log religiously, and will keep…
