Good luck with getting back on track. Im the same, i got weighed yesterday morning and had lost 3lbs but then i decided for some unknown reason to have a 'day off' from dieting! silly really as i feel really crap today and i'm all bloated again. Although i didn't go too mad yesterday i did have some chocolate and some…

[if the blinkers work will you get me a pair? lol] I am exactly the same. Keep me occupied, and the thought doesn't even cross my mind. But once I'm sat at my desk, that's it! And like you said, it's not so much boredom due to not having things to do at work. I have PLENTY to do, so I feel finding something to eat is…

Hi everyone, thank you for your great ideas! I failed to mention that i bring snacks during the day but i really struggle to control the times i eat them....it's almost like my banana and apples turn into time bombs and if i dont eat them by 11am they will explode!!! lol ...i think i am just greedy!!

I think it will be! welcome to MFP good luck with your journey

welcome and good luck! sometimes you feel like your on your own but lots of advice and inspiration here :smile:

You have done fantastic so far! wow look at how much you have lost! well done. I like your theory :smile:

Hi! Welcome, feel free to add me i have 98lbs to lose and have only started this week! so i am going to need all the motivation i can get from people. It's funny how one day you wake up and realise what you have done to yourself. After years of yo yo dieting i decided enough is enough i'm into my 30s now and i really need…

Hiya! I like my eyes! i have really deep brown eyes and they let me get my own way with my boyfriend lol (in the nicest possible ways) I just give him the big brown puppy eyes - ha ha I hate my stomach the most...it's yakky! it's huge and lumpy with stretch marks... :(

HI! It sounds like you are on a bit of a downer especially hearing people gossip about you! that is not nice to hear. I have experienced this myself. On here you will get lots of help, advice, encouragement and support and lots of friends too!!! add me as a friend if you like i'm always posting on here so we can motivate…

Welcome to MFP! I'm sure you will do really well! I've only just started this week but i'm really focussed and got right into it and feel so much better already! good luck with your goals.

As daft as it sounds i actually use a wok! :) works for me

Hello! I live in Hull :)

Hi, You will definately find the motivation here! it's brilliant. I have a lot of weight to lose and the friendly advice on here is awesome. Add me as a friend if you like. Workd hard and go for it!!

Hiya! Me too! i stumbeled across this by accident browsing apps on my phone. I've downloaded so many apps but tought i would give it a go. I have to say i'm hooked! Everything you need is in one place and everyone is really supportive. I'm more than happy for you to add me as a friend :)

Hiya...that must be a big pressure for you, but in some respects it should also help you and motivate you as you have something you have to work for! good luck to you...you are more than welcome to add me as a friend if you need moral support!

[This made me laugh - mine look like party balloons too! :laugh: ] I'm with you there. Even when wearing size 14 pants, my girls are DDD. They did go down from the G they were at my highest weight, but beware your wishes. They don't decrease prettily, in a reverse growing way. They are more like party balloons two weeks…

That's a tough one.... You may be buying them but your not making them eat them are you?? They make their own choices.... But ...ask yourself ...why are you buying them these nice things.....? it doesn't sound like they deserve them if they are mean to you. They are probably just jealous of what you are wanting to achieve…
