I didn’t want to be the fattest person at work, now I’m not

Hi I take fluoxetine for perimenopause, I’ve been on it since Oct and initially I lost more weight as it seemed to stop me craving. That only lasted a couple of weeks sadly! Kind of struggling with overeating at the moment but don’t know if that’s anything to do with meds or just need to get a grip and get back on track. I…

Probably the only thing I truly believe is, I can now get a regular bath towel wrapped around me easily without gaping, everything else I make excuses for, I still see the same fat image in the mirror most days, clothes are just being made bigger, stretchier etc . I know it’s mad but I struggle with compliments too, always…

Yes! Used to love clothes shopping until I got huge and then as long as went round me I pretty much bought anything that fitted, now I love trying on different styles and outfits, still feels a bit weird picking up a size 14 instead of 22 though as I still see the fat me in the mirror.

Did she say anything about starving herself? Nope, or that it was costing too much? No, I don’t actually think she asked for advice at all, could be wrong though and not arguing the toss, her choices not yours.

Wow, quite disappointed in a lot of these posts, we are all on a journey and all have different reasons, problems etc about how we came to the decision to lose weight. I personally don’t use or want to use any other method rather than eating less and moving more but I would never judge someone for their choices, live and…

I can totally relate to this, I am down 60 pounds, from a uk size 22 to a 14 and still see the same person in the mirror, I even put on smaller size clothes and think they are just big made, one thing that makes me realise how much I've actually lost, is trying on clothes that were tight a few years ago and are way too big…

Wow that is amazing! Well done

Every single morsel of food that I like

Since March 2016 lost 60 pounds, struggling at the moment though, keep losing and putting on a couple of pounds

Can you add me please? I am struggling a bit and could use a bit of support.

I didn't realise that, I'll have a look at the website, thank you.

Well done, what an amazing achievement!

Wow you look absolutely amazing, in fact you actually look half the age of your first photo, well done!

Firstly you have lost 10lb already!! Well done that is fantastic! Now l am certainly no expert at weight loss or advice but what works for me is taking each day at a time, baby steps not got a specific goal weight as such, just seeing clothes fitting better then being too big is keeping me going at the moment. I'm trying…

I noticed this too, can only input full pounds on my ipad, but still able to put fractions of a pound in my phone? Looks like l will be using my phone then! Every 0.1 lb matters!

I just take each day as it comes tbh! I have a lot to lose, and I never got this size overnight so wont get rid of the flab overnight either! first time ever diet/ lifestyle change, whatever you want to call it started in March,down 34 pounds now and another 50-60? to go! I'm not stressing myself out over it though, if I…

Firstly I think you are being hard on yourself, you are doing an amazing job and should be really proud of yourself! Secondly I don't think anyone has the right to comment on your relationship, this is between you and your husband, what I will say though is, it would be great if you could get a little bit of 'me' time each…

Wow! You look absolutely fantastic, well done!

Thank you! Just what I needed to hear today.

Well done you look fantastic! I was a similar starting size/weight as you and my goals and eating plan are the same, I haven't lost as much as you yet! I started my 'journey' in March, I wondered if you exercise too? Also do you have a lot of excess skin, sorry if that sounds cheeky!

Nachise I'm not sure, l have mucked about with the settings and changed my goals a few times as l was supposed to be eating about 1250 on one of the settings and there's no way l could sustain that at this time! I have about 70 pounds still to lose.

Thanks WBB55, I don't have any health problems but I do have a lot of weight to shift! but I didn't get this size overnight so I am not expecting a miracle to happen, I needed to change my whole lifestyle and eating habits so I plan to make small changes and just try to be healthier.

Thanks kimny72, do you think I am trying to lose too quickly? I have to be honest this is the first time in my whole life that I have actively tried to lose weight and its a mine field of different information out there! I really don't know if I am coming or going, I have read loads of brilliant posts on here but how many…

I honestly don't know why I'm not sleeping, nothing's different about my life apart from changing my diet and I don't go to bed feeling hungry, hopefully it will sort itself out! I really love my sleep.

Thanks for your replies, I know that I have made a lot of changes recently and still have a lot more to make! The drinking one especially, I really need to drink more and learn to at least like water! Tomorrow is another day eh?
