I'm trying to lose about 85lbs :)

I'm on the prescription strength kind and I have had very few side effects. I made the mistake of eating badly while taking it once and definitely had the oily poo. I think it helped me get in the mindset of eating lower fat after that so I didnt want to experience that again. It mostly works as a deterrent and does very…

J2O - Don't want to risk alcohol at the moment with all the stomach probs I'm having.

Bristol, United Kingdom :)

5'4", highest weight 225, currently 183. Goal weight 140 to start with.

More hair on my head, hair thinning out sucks. Also teeth whitening.

congratulations looking fabulous :D

Very little. I grew up with an alcoholic step father and that definitely puts you off for life. I maybe drink 2-3 units a month at the most, sometimes I go for months without any at all.

Am lactose intolerant so only drink soya or rice milk. Occasionally I have lactose free milk, but not all that often. I have about 200ml soya milk with my cereal and that's about it.

Sounds like a great challenge, I think I'll do mine cycling though :)

That is fantastic! I can't wait to be able to do the same. Have gone from a 42/44 waist trousers down to 36 almost 34 :) I would so be showing off that 32 label, lol!

I have mine set on 1lb per week. I did have it on 1.5lb per week but was finding it difficult sticking to the calorie limit for it. Once I hit overweight category instead of obese I plan on taking it to 0.5lb per week. Then it wont be such a big jump when I finally make it to maintenance.

Mine looks fairly small but is rather huge for me. To be able to walk 50 meters without dislocating or fainting :)

I'm keeping track but I'm letting myself indulge for the day :D

I like greek yogurt with honey with a few nuts or dried fruit thrown in :)

Confusingly I had a weightloss leaflet from my specialists nurse saying no eggs on it! My response was heck no, I love eggs too much. I don't eat them as much as I used to, but we still go through a box of 15 a week between 2 of us.

Mostly lazing around and watching films on the telly. Have my wife and my mum around to hang out with. Nice to be just doing very little for the moment before the craziness of seeing various parts of the family happens.

Hang in there mate we all fluctuate at times. If you do the right thing, watch what you eat, get exercise then the weight will sort itself out over time :)

I've only really liked drinking coffee for the last few years or so. I don't drink it as often as I would like to because of the headaches, so only have it about once a week.

I like a grande soy caramel latte. I'm also quite partial to a soy mocha as well :)

Well done mate, keep up the good work :)

Count me in :)

I'm not doing too badly this year. I'm allowing myself 2 days off, xmas and boxing day. All the other days I will be eating the same as usual. Even though I'm giving myself those days off I will still plan on eating less than I have on previous years. My xmas breakfast will be half the size it normally is and planning on…

Outkast - So fresh, so clean goes round my head when I'm dancing around my bathroom nekkid after having a shower/bath. Lol.

5'4" and about 185lbs at the moment. Surgery goal of 168lbs. I'm one of the tallest on my mums side of the family most of them are below 5'. My highest weight was about 225lbs.

I used to have a strong east end london accent (cockney) but it has softened over the years I've been living in the south west. Now it is a combination cockney/bristolian accent which some people find hilarious. Probably the worst accents to combine together in my opinion :P

My bum. It looks good in my new jeans.

I'll take a grande soy caramel latte please :) Sweet, tasty and not too many calories :D

Welcome! :) Hope you find this site as helpful as I have. The people are really friendly :) Feel free to add me if you like.

I used to weigh everyday and then take an average of all the data. I found that more helpful than once a week which is what I'm doing at the moment. Because of my stomach problems my weight can fluctuate +/- 6lbs so it is disappointing if it goes up on weigh in day but then plummets back down the day after. Maybe I should…
