I've just joined, and really looking forward to this! I am currently 185lbs.

my mum was 18 when she married my dad, he was 40. They were happily married for 34 years before he died of cancer 4 years ago. They were always happy and I don't think age was ever an issue. As long as you're happy it shouldn't matter. Both my brothers married women 14 years older than themselves and the same applies.

^^THIS^^ Also, if you log any exercise you can earn some calories to have a bigger dinner too :) xx

^^THIS^^^ You look great, ignore jealous idiots :smile:

I have never even thought of going commando while exercising. The thought that some people do is gross to me lol. To think that the person who was on the bike before me in the gym had their sweaty bits rubbing against the seat has just made me want to scrub the seat a bit harder from now on! eww:noway:

I'm about a 10 minute walk from the sea, the solent, between portsmouth and the isle of wight. It's lovely! :smile:

I have 6 so far. I'm going to get my left arm top sleeve done when I've hit my target weight. My motivation lol. I know what I want and I want Matt Lapping to design and tattoo it. I love his artwork and what I have in mind will look exceptionally amazing lol :smile:

LOL :laugh:

I just missed out!! I was born in November 1979 lol

way to go!! You look so happy, well done xxx:happy:

I'm terrified every time I get on the scales!! lol It's scary because, If you've worked hard, you're hoping for big numbers, and If you've slacked a bit, you're still hoping for a loss! The worst feeling is when you've tried really hard and not got the results you hoped for. That's when you have to be strong and carry on…

We are the same height and age but you're 4lbs lighter than me lol. I am doing the same as you at the moment too, but I am going to ask a trainer at my gym to write an exercise program for me. Do they do this at your gym? I know it's free at my gym but I've never had 1 done before, not yet anyway. I've also started doing…

I can never give up white bread. For the simple reason that it's the only bread I eat and don't like any other bread! But I haven't really given up anything I like that's not 100% healthy. As long as it's in moderation and I'm within my goals for the day and exercising then it's fine :)

an english horror called Eden Lake. I love horror's and we have a huge collection of them, some nasty films lol, But Eden Lake kept me awake. It's 1 of those, "it could actually happen" films. It's so real that it easily could have happened and no one would ever know!!

I do this all the time lol. Most weekends I find myself looking at houses for sale and I pick the 1 I want in case I win the lottery saturday night! Also clothes, shoes and bags etc. Not just for me, for my kids too lol. I'm a dreamer, always have been, but I don't see the harm in it. I always scrape by week to week…

^^THIS^^^ I'm a bit shocked by some responses to this thread..... If someone logs something I don't log, I let them get on with it.. Just as they would with me. I don't get why people are moaning about other peoples habits. I focus on my own and that's all that matters in the end.

You've lost a whole person!! Loved your post, well done. You should be very proud :smile:

I want to lose 42lb and I'm hoping to lose roughly 7lb a month, So hopefully in 6 months time I'll reach my goal. That's by the end of June so just in time for the summer holidays and the nice weather. Hopefully my confidence will be a bit better by then so I can wear clothes that don't cover me head to toe lol Good luck…

Huge congratulations!! Your starting weight is the same as my starting weight so I look pretty similar to your first pics. Thankyou for posting these as its a huge inspiration to me to see how I could look when I reach my goal! Well done, you look great, You must be so proud of yourself :smooched:

Gotta say I do disagree with this one.... I go to the gym because I can't afford all the equipment and if I could, I have nowhere to store it. I go to the gym for me, nobody else. While I'm there, I stick my earphones in and get on with it. I talk to no one while I'm working out. Occasionally a trainer will walk past and…

haha ^^this^^ Theres a few of them at my gym, a tonne of make up on and they wouldn't dare sweat in case it messes up their hair! They want to be looked at, then moan when they get attention.......I don't get it lol :ohwell:

I agree with you 100% It is so much harder to eat healthily when it doubles my food shopping bill. Eating crap is cheap as hell. I've said this for years. And when you basically live week to week on what you money you have, it's pretty depressing to go shopping x

At the moment, a 2...... Hopefully hitting my goal will make me about a 6 lol :ohwell:

A bit of noise is better than holding it in...that might make you fart and that's worse lol :laugh: Personally I wear headphones so I never hear anything anyway x

same for me, big shoulders and back muscle is a huge plus :happy:

lol yeah I'm very jealous of some of the bodies too! I agree, would be good to know you had the body for it, but personally it's not something I would do....but each to their own!

this made me go eww and LOL at the same time lmao

181lbs lost!!! Girl you deserve a medal!! You must be so proud of yourself, well done xxx:happy:

my dreams are always a bit strange lol. Last night I dreamt that I was in a macdonalds with Bradley Cooper and Chris Hemsworth and we were arguing if macdonalds was healthier than pizza hut. We then left and got chased by a helicopter outside, I said I was glad I'd been going to the gym otherwise I'd never have made it!…
