I always liked them on Xena...

The more I see of people the more I like rats.

Little Debbie?

No - wear the socks instead!

Please be kind to yourself and eat at least a little fruit and veg a day. As to weight fluctuations, as a very heavy woman I can vary 5 or more pounds in water weight over a few days. I have learned to ignore it and just sort out the healthier eating and trying to get a little fitter than I was last week. I'm no angel, but…

Love them all including all the brassica family. Having an allotment means we can experiment with growing unusual and old varieties to see if we like them too. Our own asparagus bed has been really good too. There's only two I really wouldn't choose and they are parsnip and marrow.

So to a child's point of view, responsible parents are 'communist parents' becasue presumably they don't just allow them to eat everything and anything they want.

Yup - right in the middle of the country for me!

There's always nuts and beans and other veg.

Started at 440 - at 390 now so please feel free to add me too!

Very useful explanation and a good reason to start weight training!

I used to think the same, and today managed a 1.5 mile walk at almost 400 lbs. I don't know if it is because I walk with my gf (or any other friend who comes along to encourage me) or whether dog walkers are just nicer because we walk our jacks together I don't know. Can you find a running/walking buddy to go with you? I…

I am keeping one set of my largest to remind me that I never want to go back to that weight. My problem is I have so much yet to lose, but some of my old clothes are now getting very loose and will need tighter elastic or I'm going to be arrested for indecent exposure when they fall down! I don't have huge amounts of money…

You're an inspiration. I have 275 lbs to lose and it looks like an impossible task sometimes, but you give me hope. Well done!

Combine it with a thumbs-up - that would do it for me!

Forget the sweet stuff, If anyone brings a cheese board I am sunk!

At my weekly weigh-in tonight I finally got below the 400 lb barrier for the first time in at least 15 years. I am starting to walk much more easily and feel my joints are not going to give up. I am thinking about signing for a 5k 'Race for Life' in my local park in aid of Cancer Research, although the prospect is a bit…

I don't know about him, but I love listening to radio plays in my car and have to wait until the end!

I agree - I knew someone who named an on-line character 'Carpebladus' because he thought it meant 'Seize the blade'. It actually meant 'seize the bladder'! At least he didn't have it tattooed anywhere, unless he was too embarrassed to admit it...

Room in your pants! Which is true - mine are getting roomier by the week. LOL!

I get weighed once a week no matter what, and yes it does make a difference. I just have to remind myself not to let it make me break my diet and as long as the trend is downward - that everything will work itself out in a week or two!

We get homemade pink glittery cupcakes, cherry and coconut cake, celebration cakes, enormous Costco trays of double chocolate muffins and Danishes. I never thought developing an intolerance to all grain flours would be so useful! One mouthful and I am yawning and dropping asleep at my PC. So when I say I can't have any,…

I'm under a doctor's care for this and considering they were suggesting bariatric surgery which would result in way fewer calories and drastic intervention, I'm trying this for now. I have felt tons better and my fitness levels have improved already with a very moderate increase in daily movement which I found difficult…

If I have the calories spare I like Dr Kargs Emmental and Pumpkin seed crisp bread, no need for anything on them either!

My BMR is currently 2500 and I'm on around 1500 a day and it is still a slow process losing weight! Ah well, not giving up this time...

I see some people talking about 'Workout to Failure' where your muscles absolutely cannot do any more. This seems an odd concept given that if you did it to an animal it would be regarded as extremely cruel and if you did it to your car it would be damaged. Weird...

I got my waist to below that - but I guess it's not quite what you mean ;o)

I'm giving up religion.

@Inspirem I'm sorry you seem to think I am criticizing you personally as that was not my intent at all. However it may have been me pressing the wrong link for reply as I'm new to this site, but my actual aim was to reply to the original topic poster who posted this: "What do you think about Shakeology? I don't eat veggies…
