I hope it isn't too late for me to join? I have 9lb until I am in onederland too :P Thank you :D

Could you maybe ask for a one to one meeting with your boss and ask him to help you out by being clearer about what he wants you to do? Explain to him how you worked with your previous bosses and maybe you can work something out between you so you can be a more productive team :)

My 4 year old daughter broke the screen on my laptop :(

On the Internet when Hotmail actually had a pen pals section :) We started out just emailing each other, then chatting online then one day when I was feeling very blue he phoned me for the first time and told me he was coming to visit me, I tried to turn him down but he wouldn't have it. He travelled all the way from the…

I have osteoarthritis in my knees and hips and I use the Leslie Sansone DVD when I feel up to it, I had an arthroscopy back in Feb so I haven't used it as often since then but before that I used it once or twice a week and found it really beneficial :) I really felt like I was getting a good workout, especially with the…

In answer to the question, I was thinking about this earlier and I have no idea :P After I lost 3 stone I got a brand new Singer sewing machine which i love <3 My wedding ring no longer fits and because of the style it can't be resized so maybe a new ring? I do like the idea of making my own clothes but i think that losing…

Super Dollfie!!!! I wanted one soooo much but then I had kids :P

Cashew nut butter is also really good :)

You can also make orzotto which uses pearl barley instead of rice for a change, it tastes lovely too :)

I find quorn mince makes a great bolognese and only takes about 12 minutes to cook? Stir-fries are also quick and easy. Or how about frozen salmon fillets, wrap them in a foil parcel with some soy sauce, a little honey and some ginger,pop them in the over forget about them for 35 minutes then serve with rice and veggies :)…

I have just been told that my left knee is in very bad shape and needs to be replaced and I too am trying to find other options. I have two kids under 5 so can't afford the recovery time for a TKR. But the knee is causing more problems in my right hip and knee which are also affected so really feel stuck at the moment :( I…

10st is my top healthy range too, although I would really like to get to about 8st eventually. Portion size was my downfall and snacking. I have two children under 5 and some health issues which make this a little harder but I have lost just over 40lb already so it is doable :P Please feel free to add me, I hope I can be…

My mother-in-law was the same :p but I know she never mean't what she said maliciously. She would say stuff like, 'she was a big lass, bigger than you!' I only wish she could see the progress I have made, I know she would have been proud of me. She sadly passed away 5 years ago. People say things sometimes without really…

I am doing this on the way to nursery with the kids this afternoon!

Real Chinese food isn't unhealthy. So why not try making your own? You can also make pizza at home which will be much better than a take out or frozen one, I know, I made some for the family on saturday and they went down a treat :) How about mini bread pizza? Take a slice or two of wholemeal bread (or a pitta bread) toast…

That must be a heavy burden, have some tea! It makes everything better :)

Mmmmmm, sweet Earl Gray eases the pain, his lovely wife Lady Gray ain't bad either........... ;)

Me too ;p I like to pretend I am Nigella Lawson :)

I am never horrified my friend, just rather impressed with my inventiveness ;)

Do I love drinking tea so much because I am British or am I British because I drink so much lovely tea????

Comfort and reward with things and experiences instead of food. Also hobbies that use your hands are good, I sew and I have made a lot of things since I started eating better :p You will get used to not eating and cutting out junk, don't worry :)

I am sure that your muscles retain a bit more water after intense exercise so that they can repair themselves. I may be wrong tho?

Hairspray in the Millenium centre in Cardiff starring Micheal Ball. I went with my best friend and we had an amazing time, it was such a fun and interactive experience, the cast seemed to really enjoy it too :) Second to that I would put Video Games Live in Cardiff, that was a great nerdfest and really enjoyable!

I'm 5'6" and my starting weight was 250lb, I would love to get as small as possible so 115lb would be ideal but maybe unrealistic :P I'm still going to try though!

I think if you have trouble fitting into a seat on a plane we are talking morbidly obese rather than just obese aren't we? When I was a little younger my hubby (fiance at the time) went on our first holiday abroad together, I was a big girl then too but I fit comfortably in the seat on the plane so all good. On the way…

Heh, I am 3lb away from losing a Freya :P Well done on losing a Jenny :D

I weigh every morning and it is starting to get very depressing, I seem to have hit a plateau with my weightloss and every day I weigh in or around the same amount :( I have only lost about 3lb in the last 3 months :( I recenly had an op on my knee and haven't been able to go back to the gym since, I have arthritis and…

I over eat to comfort myself, because sometimes life is very hard and very difficult things happen that are hard to deal with. I used to tell myself that I deserved to eat what I wanted as compensation for the things that were happening. I realise now, after my husband making a very good point, that the food can never make…

Hiya, I am 5'6" and started off at 250lb, I am now around 212 and my goal is around 140, even less if I can manage it :) Please feel free to add me :)

I was obsessed when I started and I think it is normal, you are actually thinking about what you are eating rather than just putting anything and everything in your mouth. I would say that you will eventually know roughly what the nutritional value is of the foods that you eat. Having been forced to think and calculate…
