Awesome. Keep going!

I used to sell insurance and all salesmen, myself included, love getting commission so if they can insure you, they will. Most importantly don't give up just cause you get rejected. Better BMI and overall health will make you happier and if the bundle of joy in the pic is yours, put a pic up at work to motivate you to live…

Us non-Americans think Americans use the word "awecome" too much, out of context and generally as a mild compliment which doesn't merit its use. But your weight loss and lifestyle change are AWESOME and I really mean that in every sense.

First job out of college, working til 8pm each night, single so didn't have girlfriend or wife to keep me in tow...plus was earning good money so didn't have to worry about going to the supermarket to buy ingredients...just ate and drank. Work beers on Thursdays and Fridays, lots of fried food...played a lot of soccer and…

That's 23 lbs in 13 weeks.....achievable but break it down into manageable chunks, 2lbs per week. I'm 85kg (about 187lbs) and am aiming for 1 kg for the next three weeks. I'm roughly the same height too but I'm 39. As regards age, don't worry about that. Milestones come and go, but it's what you do in between that counts.…

Wow...that is unconventional. Hope it went ok.

Awesome. Definitely the 1kg at a time goal really helps with motivation.

These pics stopped me eating chocolate and falling off the wagon. 5kg gone. 10 more to go.

Didn't change too much. The main thing was that I honestly tracked every piece of food and that I set small goals. I think setting the small goals kept me motivated to be more honest in my tracking. Today for example (it's lunchtime here) and I've already had a sausage bacon brioche, and a Milky Way Crispy Roll....so I…

I found it really good. Occassionally I put foods in before I eat them to see if I can get aware with them for the day, depending on what exercise etc I have already done. Allow yourself a treat once i na while but count it on the app.

If you feel really bad, talk to your doctor. There's so much that they can do. As a kid I was teased and beaten up for being gay even though I wasn't gay. (I was a polite kid in a very rough school.) I felt that there was no one I could talk to. I'm sure you got the same for being fat or God forbid for being black.…

Yes it was good fun, but that was as much to do with the lads as with alcohol. It definiitnely would be possible if I were stronger willed. I don't think this is particulalry Irish, but I think in any social situation there is always some alcohol involved. I think if I had a religious reason or I were a recovering…

This was the best advice. Aim for an achievable goal.

OK here's what happened. First night three pints, not too bad. Drank water before bed. Woke up no hangover. Second day, played football for a while, swam in hotel pool etc, but boozing started at 3pm. Six pints downed...drank a lot of water so not hangover but that was a lot of calories. Stopped drinking at about 10pm. The…

I cycle in and out of work, about 10kms (6 miles) each way. It beats city traffic but obviously you can only do it if your work has shower and change facilties like mine. I never go to the gym anymore. Even a leisurely cycle will burn 500 calories (250 each way). I have bad knees and a dodgy back so it's much more relaxing…

I was looking at the same things. I think it might be worthwhile just buying a really cheap on for 10 quid and see how you get on. I'm not an elite athlete and I'd just be using to see what my heart rate got up to during stressful exercise and then to see if it came back down when resting. I have a heart rate monitor on my…

My only advice is to set modest goals. It may seem like a lack of ambition now, but trust me when I say it was the best thing I ever did. Don't walk for two hours. Walk for 30 mins instead for three to four times a week. If you walk for two hours it will rain, you'll be bored, your ankle will give you trouble, your iPhone…
