Still got about 24lb to go...

From lovely Bristol

@JeBeBu you are very welcome 🤗

Start date - 10th June 2019 Goal - walk 15 minutes every day Days achieved/days total - 2/2 Streak - 2 Rained all day but forced myself out ☹

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 161.8lb CW: 161.4lb (-0.4lb) OL: -39.6lb Happy with that as I was on a diet break for most of the week. I really enjoyed it and ate lots of nice food. Got my eye on the big 3stone lost milestone in a couple of pounds now.

Yay. Welcome @drea136 😁

Thanks @tinkerbellang83 I feel like I'm destined to be forever 2nd place and never 1st 😭. I'm hungry for the win 🥇 (although not enough to actually work harder 😂).

I'm super lazy so spread peanut butter on a banana. It's very tasty and satisfying.

I have chronic fatigue syndrome so have limited capacity for exercise amd activity. I have been lucky over the past few months and often walk for 30mins or an hour but not enough to make any significant contribution to my weight loss. I have been very successful losing weight through managing what I eat. I set my calorie…

Someone was asking about before and during photos. Here are mine. First photo is 01 Jan 19 at 201lb and bmi in obese category. Second is today 04 June at 162lb and still overweight.

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 164.6lb CW: 161.8lb (-2.8lb) OL: -39.2lb A huge loss this week - def had quite a whoosh once all my illnesses finally cleared up. Makes me very hapy 😁 I accidentally bought a size 12 pair of shorts the other day (currently in 14s). Thought they were a little snug when I tried them on but…

I hope you don't mind that I created this @tinkerbellang83, I will need it tomorrow morning to weigh in.

@JustinHeasman you have done really well to put on so little weight in what must have been a very distressing time. Welcome back, I'm sure you'll do your mum proud.

And to get to the right calories, I just keep a note of the ingredients/calories I have put in and then portion it up based on how many calories I want in the ball. Weigh the final mixture and then scoop out a set amount each time to roll with.

Hi, I make my own. I tend to go with whatever is in the cupboard. I put in some nuts (cashews, walnuts, almonds, whatever really), some dried fruit (raisins mainly but could be anything), dates and/or peanut butter to bind it. Can also add in small amounts of flavourings like citrus peel, chilli etc. I put it in a food…

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 165.6lb CW: 164.6lb (-1lb) OL: -36.4lb A really tough week this week - a bad cold followed by a tummy bug followed by a different type of infection. Weight skyrocketed but I think it has now come back down. Got two lovely dogs staying with me this week and they are hyper so probably…

Hi Joanne, welcome to the group. Just stick to your plan and you'll get there.

I'm trying to work out whether this was written as a positive or negative descriptor 😂😂

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 168lb CW: 165.6lb (-2.4lb) OL: -35.4lb

@wobblemcwobbleface sorry to hear about your dad, I imagine that's challenging to deal with. Although positive that he had a good weekend with his family. My brother is seriously overweight (I would guess 3 hundred something pounds and if asked will always say he plans on doing something about it and then proceed to do…

Feeling rotten today, got a bad cold so have spent most of the morning so far sleeping. Now my husband needs to go to A+E, although he doesn't seem too hurried about it. So thats going to be many hours of having to sit around. Weekend was much of the same - ill health, walk in centres. Hopefully it all won't last long.

Hi. I put on pretty much all of my weight very quickly through binge eating. I found that once I started binging, I struggled to get off the wagon and would binge every day despite feeling really sick. I had some success with cutting out all sugar but as soon as I had some (due to increased confidence or social…

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 168lb CW: 168lb (no change) OL: -33lb Gah! My first week with zero weight loss. Trying not to over-react and restrict myself further. I ate out several times last week and although I was quite confident in my calorie logging it may be that it was quite an underestimate, or it may be…

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 170lb CW: 168lb (-2lb) OL: -33lb Another great week for me. Hit 12 stone this morning (168lb), another 2lb to go before I can celebrate losing 2.5stone (35lb). I'm going to film trying on lots of clothes tomorrow. I love looking back at the old videos - so much more motivating than…

@chris_in_cal I think I'm a total fail - I can't even find the 'About Me' section 😭 Because I've never had any friends I've never written any posts etc (because no-one would see them). But I log everything I eat every day and surf the forums several times a day (and am trying to do less lurking and contribute…

So I've not gotten at all involved in the friends side of MFP, mainly because I don't know anyone in real life who is on here. Do you fine people have 'friends' on MFP? Are there any benefits? Does anyone want to be friends with me? Ta x

Well done, must feel good.

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 172.2lb CW: 170lb (-2.2lb) OL: -31lb Passed my latest goal and scoffed down my Easter egg. Next goal is 168lb (12stone) which will mean I am about the halfway mark. Will get out all my clothes again and film a try on - I did the last one 10lb before that so hopefully it will make me…

I want to be smaller than my husband. I want to not be worried about bumping into exes or friends I haven't seen for years - I don't want them to think that they had some sort of lucky escape. I want to shave my hair (down to a #1 or #2) and don't want to look butch. Lots of other really healthy reasons aswell, but I've…

SW: 201lb (01 Jan 19) GW: 140lb LW: 173.6lb CW: 172.2lb (-1.4lb) OL: -28.8lb Been ill for most of this week so I'm proud of myself that I managed to stick to my calories every day but one (and that was under maintenance). Hopefully a better week to come. Looking forward to reaching 171lb when I get to scarf down my Easter…
