  • The woosh comes when it comes!! It’s not just at the beginning. I’m also feeling demoralised right now. I’ve lost 5 1/2 stone and have 1 more to go but I’ve reached a plateau. Trust your body. If you are being honest with yourself then it will happen If you slip up don’t beat yourself up. Tomorrow is another day!

  • Before I’ve lost my six stone I always thought my face was my nicest feature. I’d hide away my body behind others for photos etc and thought my face looked good. Now I’m a size 8 I’m very happy to have my photo taken! And looking at these new pictures I see my face wasn’t that good after all. No wrinkles obviously but…

  • I’m so jealous of some of the figures I’m reading here! I’m female 5’6”. Currently 136lbs. 49 and going through menopause. ( does anyone know if that affects weight loss?) My maintenance is set by mfp at 1570. I’m sedentary due to ill health But it’s clearly too much. I’ve lost 75lbs from jan 18 to July 18 and have been…

  • I’ve lost 75lbs. Going from 15st 1 to 9 st 10. My bmi is 21 and I’ve gone from a uk 20 to an 8. In 7 months And I look and feel fantastic!!! Apart from the saggy skin. Sigh. But I’m 49 and can’t exercise due to disability. Clothes on nice. Off , not so much!! 😝 But I’m thoroughly sick to death of the number of people who…

  • I sold the entire contents of my wardrobe on eBay. Swimwear, lingerie, everything. I list three times and if it hasn’t sold then it goes to charity. It’s taken 6 months. Obviously if you sell in accordance with the seasons it’s better. No one wants a faux fur coat in August!!! Every bit adds up. I’ve totalled £850. And I…

  • I have numerous illnesses and disabilities and exercise is not an option for me I have lost 40lbs without doing any exercise. It’s entirely possible but be prepared for the loose saggy skin if you’re past 25 and have a fair bit to lose!!!! I’ve gone from a uk 18/20 to a 14 and have another 15-20 lbs to go. I’d guess I…

  • It’s difficult nowadays because people insist on torturing themselves. He didn’t reply to text immediately, he must be cheating. He has a female friend, he’s a cheat. He went out without me, of course he’s a cheat. So they stalk on social media and torment themselves. They call the the phone. No answer, hang up, it’s over!…

  • Hi all I decided at Christmas that enough was enough, weighing in at 15st 1. Started dec 27th and have lost 2 st 6, down to 12st 9. I can’t lie, it’s been tough. I avoid treats at all costs. 1 biscuit is never enough and I can’t look at a crisp! I’d like to get to 11st. But I know that a plateau is probably just around the…
