That you need to reconsider your hair style. My hairdresser told me today that I’d lost so much weight off my face that it was being dominated by my haircut. I now have a pixie style cut and I love it.

I can cross my legs comfortably. That’s it. And I love it.

My NSV is that after a week of careful logging last week I didn’t lose an ounce. Not an single ounce. The NSV is that Im still here and still logging. I know how my weight loss works. One week I’ll lose then next I won’t( or I’ll hardly lose anything) In the past I’ve given up when I’ve logged for a week and lost nothing,…

My NSV is simple.I had an ice cream when I was out. It was within my calorie allowance, I enjoyed it and I’m not beating myself up about it. I’m not going to do it everyday, but today it was lovely.

That people feel that they can make comments about how you must have felt when you were heavier. ‘You must feel so much better’ ‘It must be so much more comfortable in this heat ‘ etc. Really?

I met my ex PA for dinner tonight. I haven't seen her for ages, she stopped dead when she saw me and said ‘ wow, you’ve lost weight’. I cant see it, but she could.

That shorter hair would suit my newly rediscovered face shape. And its a lot easier to keep neat and tidy.

I'm so bored with logging food, I only log in now to read the Calvin and Hobbes thread. Thanks heavens for @unclemac

I'm not sure the duties of motherhood extend to being publically associated with a child like Calvin - or is that just me?[/quote] Perhaps I'm unusual in that I figure anything expected of a mother is likewise expected of dad... and as a dad, I wouldn't hesitate to be associated with my Calvin(s)... although sometimes are…

Me too. I'm struggling. Gained about 5 pounds back and having to make myself care about it. I don't know why I sabotage my success. I didn't like being obese, it seems liked I'm trying my hardest to get back there. Damn, damn, damn.

I confess I have just eaten a whole packet of caramel snack-a-jacks, just because I'm bored. I'm still bored and now I feel sick as well.

Yep. Me too. Less weight bearing down on them I think. Frankly I'll take any excuse to buy new ones.

I confess that in supermarket queues I judge people by the contents of their basket/trolley also mentally 'helpful' advice such as 'Why are you buying diet pepsi and a tray of 12 cupcakes?' and ' Have you considered swapping those donuts for fruit? Given your size that would be a good idea' and similar. I can demonstrate…

Just look at my name. My full name should be Julieagainandagainandagain. This time I'm taking it a day at a time and I'm not beating myself up. 3 stones lost 1.5 to go. Then you can call me Julieneveragain. Hang on in there, its worth it, and so are you.

I went on a 6 day walking holiday last week, doing a 110 mile coast line walk including some huge lung busting ascents and thigh burning descents and I just did it! I hauled 3 stones less of me with me and I felt better, fitter and happier. I'm impressed with me, which is what really matters.

That no one will believe you when they ask you how you lost the weight and you say that you did it by eating less and moving about more and sticking with it. Even though you have.

No. I draw the line at Mickey Mouse pants. ( or maybe I'm just stupid?)

No. But I'll get one if that's what it takes to be 'cool'

Go for it! Much respect!

Today I am wearing suit that I bought 8 years ago at huge cost because I liked it and wore it only twice before I realised it was really to tight to wear. I put the trousers on accidently this morning ( came in from my walk and didn't put the light on so as not to wake sleeping husband) and they fit. I went back and got…

I've had a hard week, two birthdays and two days away from home at conferences where the food choices were limited and not good. I knew it was asking a bit much to expect to have lost, and I haven't, but I am still going and I haven't given up. That a big NSV for me, I'm inclined to give in at the first obstacle, but I'm…

I confess that today I don't give a rats "kitten" about macros.

I've asked our ginger cat, whose name is Ginger Cat and he says its ok. We had a grey cat, we called him Earl, until we found out he was a she, but by then Earl had stuck. It suited her to a tea. ( slightly embarrassed face)

Thank you Uncle Mac. My day just got a lot better! :smile:

I love the strips where there is a spate but related joke in the first two frames. My absolute favourite is the one where Calvin and Hobbes are looking at a cigarette vending machine, and Calvin says to Hobbes ' Look, it says you have to be 18 to buy cigarettes' and then in the next frame says ' Heck, I'll be old enough to…

Today I am wearing an uber pretty bra that has never fitted me. I bought it as a 'target bra' because its made od spiders web lace and its purple( my favourite) and I've had it at least 5 years. I tied it today out of curiosity and not only does it fit, its in danger of being too big. I'm so pleased I feel like wearing it…

Quitting smoking - brilliant. Absolutely the best thing you can do for yourself and one of the hardest. Huge respect.

Nor me. Death Before Dancing is my motto. I look ridiculous and feel ridiculous. I'd rather be 'no fun' than a comic turn.

The Philly cheese steak and chocolate shake I can forgive. The speaking with politicians - now that's a tough call..... ( Not judging, just commenting in neutral kind of way)
