Welcome! Go ahead and add me if you like. Always happy to have more friends :)

I'm sorry to hear this. I've had similar experiences and it's not nice. It shouldn't be like that. They don't sound like particularly great friends from the way they are behaving. You should surround yourself with people who empower you and encourage you. Hope you find those people soon, or your current friends realise…

I live in Scotland, feel free to add me :)

This is great, thanks for sharing!

Exactly! When my cravings are particularly strong and I start thinking, "I'm sure I can get past the minty taste", I remind myself that I'd have to brush my teeth all over again and it doesn't just seem worth it.

For me, it wasn't advice as such, it was when my boyfriend said, "we can get cake if we go for a walk first." We are trying to lose weight together, but I have a really sweet tooth and I'm always the one asking for something or another. I don't really enjoy most exercise but I love walking. So, doing it to get some tasty…

If I'm craving snacks in the evening but don't have calories for them, I'll brush my teeth earlier than usual. This works for me because nothing tastes that great after you've brushed your teeth because the mint flavour is so strong. Plus, it puts me in the frame of mind of being finished for the day, seen as though it's…

Great input - thanks for sharing! :)

I have the same problem, but I still have a lot of weight to lose. Hopefully people can help us with tips and tricks! :)

Anyone is welcome to add me! :) The more, the merrier.

I definitely feel the same when it comes to sweet treats, but as others have said, if you're keeping calories for it, it seems like you're doing just fine! :)

I'm in Scotland :)

Always happy to have more friends so we can support each other. Sent you a request! :)

Love this, thank you :)

Wow! Well done :)

Wow, that's incredible! Well done! :) Definitely what I needed to see today, thank you for sharing.

That's great! Well done :)

"So, I started eating again, and put a stone of that weight back on" was supposed to say "So, I started eating carelessly again, and put a stone of that weight back on." Oops! :/

Firstly, you're not alone. I feel like I could have written this myself, word for word. I think there are bigger issues here that go beyond weight loss, and you should try and identify them and deal with them. Once you're in a better place, it might not seem as daunting. For example, you sound like you struggle with self…

I'm in Aberdeen, would love more friends from the UK :)

Always happy to have more friends! :)

Yeah, I agree. It was photos like this from a friend's wedding that triggered my weight loss attempts before. I lost 3st, and found that I still hated pictures of myself, so I know it goes beyond simply losing weight, but I'm working on it all and hope that the combination of my efforts will reap rewards. :)

That's awesome! Congratulations :)

That's the plan - can't wait to be able to say that's how I used to be! :)

This is usually what I try to do as well :)

Would love to make more friends on here - go ahead and add me if you want to! :)

Hi, returning to MFP after some time away and I'd love to have more friends on here who will encourage me and who I can support, too! Please feel free to add me :)
