The Mental Health Hotline If you're an obsessive, compulsive press 1 repeatedly. If you're co-dependant ask someone to press 2 for you. If you have multiple personalities press 3,4,5, & 6. If you're paranoid, we know what you are & what you want, so stay on the line & we'll trace your call. If you're delusional, press 7…

I love Harley Quinn's tattoos ... I also think she is batsh!t crazy, but I like her ... lots ... !!

Customer Solutions Adviser on an inbound help desk at a Customer Experience Centre in Sheffield; I'm also a relief caretaker at an out-of-town shopping village in the Peak District, but I only do that job as and when required and it's only at weekends, because my job at the CEC is Monday to Friday.

LOL the porridge was just right, it was in my kitchen and I got into bed with this big tall fella - I think he might have been my husband xXx

After a batsh!t crazy night at work I am eating porridge and then going to bed ... It's 7:35am (UK) so it's good night from me xXx

I've been out with my daughter and her fella for a few hours today - it was a fun way to spend my day off from work, now it's GTA5 a bottle (or two) of wine and ramming the other players of the road time ... My daughter is 20 and her fella is 25 lol xXx

I didn't actually have a goal weight in mind, I just wanted to lose 50% of my starting weight and I have achieved that, so I have been maintaining ever since ... I started in November 2012 weighing 145.6kg - 321lb and in November 2014 I had got down to 71.2kg - 157lb. I now bounce between 72kg - 158.7lb & 74kg - 163lb…

Hi, I have hypothyroidism, arthritis and PCOS and I lost 164lb in 2 years (November 2012 - November 2014) and I've been maintaining my weight ever since; I'm a few years (18) older than you and I am approaching "The Change" so my hormones are all over the place even without the help of hypothyroidism :D ... Feel free to…

I love lifting - I got injured (torn elbow tendon) back in December 2015, plus my husband had been in hospital so it was a good time to decide to quit the gym ... I now train at home and I am almost back to where I was prior to the elbow injury. I have arthritis in my right hip and left knee, so squatting is a no no, plus…

Lifting is a very useful tool in keeping off the weight you lose ... I did purely cardio for the first 3 months (I had 165lb to lose) and then gradually introduced strength training. Nowadays I strength train for an hour, three times week, plus 30 minutes on the exercise bike three times a week and have one rest day a…

To b!tch slap the frigging twats that voted to leave the EU ... Oh and ice cream, but I can't even have that...!! xXx

_/|\_ Namaste Msalicia, Firstly please let me say that Nutmegoreo has pretty much said what I was going to say - in your search for peace and control, you are in fact adding to your stress and making your problems worse, so I don't need to go into that, as it's already been said, and Buddhists don't waist words as we both…

I weigh myself once a week (wednesday) but I only log it on my account once a month, usually the 15th of the month. xXx

I had a new tattoo done every time I lost 1stone (14lb) they were my reward for my hard work... I had 10 tattoos done, but I still owe myself another one and I'm working on my last stone (14lb) so that'll be 12 tattoos I have earned on my weight loss journey.

in November 2012 I started out at 145.6kg (321lb) wearing UK size 32/34 jeans I now weigh 72.3kg (159.4lb) wearing UK size 12/14 jeans

Thanks Francl27 & Labrynthine93, it's good to see you got my point ... How does this even compare - Celiacs are no more a diet to lose weight than alcoholics are drinking alcohol to lose weight, they're a completely different kettle of fish, but again some people are so far off point that you can't reason with them... I am…

I don't currently eat back my exercise calories, because I am only 11lb away from my goal weight, so I was finding that eating exercise calories (even when there is a substantial deficit at the end of the day) was creating the maintenance result, so at present I have high calorie days (my TDEE calories) and low calorie…

Hi Brittany, I have hypothyroidism, arthritis in my left knee and right hip, plus PCOS, oh and I'm pre-menopausal so my journey has been an interesting one lol I would be happy for you to add me as a friend - I am in the UK, I log in every day, I post a couple of times a day too... My profile is public (I think) so you can…

Any diet that tells you to cut an entire food group out of your eating plan ... Moderation is the key to weight management success, not discrimination...!!

I am now considered to be at a healthy weight, but I still want to lose another 10lb to get to my personal goal weight, but I get so many comments about me looking fine, or "Ooh don't lose any more weight, you'll look ill" but I know that I have got a lot of loose skin from the weight I have already lost, so my weight loss…

I tend to not always bother in the winter, because who is going to see my armpits or legs anyway? but in the summer I tend to shave once a week, because I like to wear sleeveless tops and short trousers... I don't have an issue with it, but I accept that some people do and so I feel more socially acceptable when I shave my…

Hi, I pay for Premium, which I was happy to do as I like to micro manage my macros, I'm not so concerned with my calories... I like that you get to set Gram goals for your macros, not just percentages; I have hypothyroidism and I'm lactose intolerant, plus I do a lot of weight training, so I like to be mindful of my…

Happy smile xXx

Hi Amro, Welcome to MFP, you have a very handsome young man in your profile picture - is he your son? Anyway, hope you enjoy your MFP journey and hopefully we'll speak soon. Take care Theresa xXx

I am 74.4kg (164lb) down in 2 years... I have PCOS, Arthritis in my right hip & left knee & Hypothyroidism & I'm lactose intolerant so it's not been an easy journey, but it has been worth it..

Yes you can eat anything, but the more calorie dense (higher protein, healthy fats/oils and fibre content) the food has, the better, because it keeps you feeling fuller for longer... If you're going to fill your daily calorie allowance with chocolate, pizza, fizzy pop (soda), white bread, pasta and rice then you'll be full…

Hi, I'm not quite 45 (42 to be exact) but I'm trying to lose these last 11.5lb to reach my goal weight - feel free to add me xXx

I have a problem with choking, so I need to drink with meals - it also helps me feel full quicker...

The OP is going vegan, therefore jelly and ice cream are a no no - Ice cream is made from cows milk and jelly is made from geletine - either pork or beef... Anyway... I hate the phrase "Cheat Meal" you're not taking a test, so what exactly are you cheating on!?! If you fancy a meal that is "Less than perfect" great, you're…

I hate the phrase "Cheat Meal" you're not taking a test, so what exactly are you cheating on!?! If you fancy a meal that is "Less than perfect" great, you're human and perfection is not fitted as standard in us human, so find things you like and are within your calorie goal, then you know you can eat it guilt free - good…
