I'm only just under halfway in, but what the heck, I am shoving this in here anyway. I hated photos of me so there are not a lot of me at "top" weight - I'm not sure 100% if I was 297lbs in that photo or not - I know it was around that mark (one on left, in the Roman Baths for eagle eyes). This was October 2012. One on…

When I bought a HRM - that was acceptance that I wanted to do this to the best of my ability. The moment I signed up for the gym was crucial too. Spending my money on fitness products (shoes, clothing et al) is the norm now - much more constructive that wine and food! I am saving up for a mountain bike....!

Firstly - KUDOS to you for your hard work (it is hard work) and ultimately, being honest. My "amazing" feeling didn't really kick in until 60lbs down - and it still disappears every so often in line with my "I hate the world" mentality - but I have BPD, so I'm not exactly textbook case. I also refuse to get excited about…

I'm constantly drinking water to be honest, but it's not one glass at a time - I've always been very good at just keeping myself hydrated a lot. I generally average about 8 glasses a day, and then about 3-4 herbal teas. It's sometimes more (heat, gym workout for example) and it is sometimes less. I tend to drink water from…

Holy crapola gurl, we're all entitled to opinions but did your Mamma ever tell you to keep it zipped unless you had something nice/productive/not-completely-screwed-up-and-racist to say? Ignite the flame.... :explode:

Besides spending most of my twenties overweight? Um, moving to a different city based on the nebulous claims of a man that he loved me after about...oh...two months. I was 19 and reeling from my Dad leaving the family home and wanted to be loved. I'm quite happy to admit I went about that in TOTALLY the wrong way. He…

Actually, I'm going to get it from the library today - just to say I've read it because I hate book snobbery. We like what we like - I just think 50 Shades is funny, rather than serious, and concerning that SOME people idolise it much like they did Sex in the City. Who am I to judge, I'm obsessed with fictional characters…

Prize winning smile!

Jane Eyre seconded, from the morality perspective about the situation and unrequited/actual love POV. It's also a brilliant book in other ways. I'll admit I'm not a big romance novel reader - nothing is standing out to me massively at the moment. It's not specifically a romantic novel, but I really enjoyed the first two…

I'm not saying YOU (or most) want a Christian Grey - you seem to have the intelligence to know that his character isn't desirable, but I know a lot of people who can't distinguish that. I don't think people who like/read the books want relationships like that - I think they just may have not come across erotica before and…

Uptown girl, huh! Actually, it wasn't my hot dog - I don't really eat much meat, I was just simulating for the giggles!

This. Never eat it, entirely pointless for me.

Candy, I'm about to head to bed (it's late here in the UK) but I wanted to give you a stinging high five for being F*CKING BRAVE! You've made a huge step. I'm going to add you to my friends - a bit about my story is on there and whilst it's not identical, there are elements I completely identify with when I read your…

Part French but not French Canadian.

:laugh: Saved for future reference!

That I am - we suck at football (soccer) and have a rubbish Prime Minister. But the tea is plentiful here and the weather is crap enough not to give a flying *kitten* anymore - we're grateful for every sliver of sun :laugh:
-
Always. I'm not always specific on weights for things like spinach, cucumber and salad leafs, but I normally overestimate weights anyway. Fruit, in particular, has high sugar levels - natural, but sugar levels none the less, as well as carbohydrates. If you're not that bothered about macro's then it's your call.…

BROTHER?! I thought you were at the cinema!
-
This. You want erotic fiction that isn't really, really badly written - go on the internet. I read a chapter of 50 Shades, laughed and gave it to a friend. I'm no literature snob, but it genuinely irks me that the book is so popular based on the fact it's a bit smutty because it's truly atrocious whilst there are many good…

Looks like my brother.

Firstly Tom, you need a massive stinging high five for not only recognising that you need change/help/support but actively posting and asking for it - trust me, you won't regret it. A weight loss journey is not easy. There is no quick fix if you want to do it healthily and responsibly. What works for one person might not…
-
French Canadian, but I'm rubbish at guessing most things.
-
I'm not on my last leg of the journey (sort of around the middle) but I wish you the best of luck in your journey. From what I've heard, mixing things up a bit (nutrition and exercise wise) can sometimes kick start weight loss when you do not have much to lose, but I'm not remotely there yet!
-
Change the word DIET to LIFESTYLE. Some of us (maybe more) are on here because we do not have the luxury of being able to eat whatever we want. Is it a luxury - not in my eyes anymore. You are probably going to have to be pretty switched on about what you eat and what you do exercise wise for a while. It's a f*cking…
-
Yes, you can lose weight without exercise. MFP includes the deficit based on your base level calories, meaning that if you ate the number of calories given, you should in theory lose weight. Weight loss DOES start by the foods you put in your mouth. HOWEVER - in my experience, losing weight without exercise does two…

Stunning eyes and I envy the fringe!

I dare not think about it. I would probably clock on average 3000-4000 a day, including alcohol. Bad days could be higher.
-
I've logged consistently for 50 days (as of today) and am very dedicated to being honest about my food choices. I try to be around as much as possible for encouraging and support too! Anyone can add me :)

Oh, and have "The Dark Side of Camelot" on standby.
