what a great upbeat post to read first thing in the morning feel free to send me a request

use one measurement that you can make sure is in the same place each week your bust will be different depending on the bra and your abdomen depending on fluid you could retain and other hormonal variations so keep taking them but make sure at least a couple are in the same place weekly I do my upper arm over my tattoo I do…

I dont know if this will work on your shoes but go to the pet shop and get some paw wax I put it on my greyhounds feet to stop him slipping - its brilliant stuff

I not only used to go but was a circuit trainer do not sign up for over 6 months as MOST women as they get fitter out grow it I was taught how to use the machines but NOT properly by the then trainer what every you do look after your KNEES I actually got knee damage because I was using a machine improperly - this was…

I like my oatmeal with either/or one spoon cocoa /some cinnamon or some red berries

thank you for posting this - I havent spouted seeds for some time - I must find my spouter -

I am going to allow myself 200 more calories a day but for the christmas week I will be using my calories on a weekly basis so some days I will eat lower to allow myself extra for when I want them that way I am hoping to at least maintain however this is a journey and we will have to learn to live with such times so if my…

what a fantastic achievement now buy yourself something to keep (a little bit of jewellery - just an idea) as you HAVE reached your target over the holiday season attempt to maintain so that by mid Jan you are still at target then you can decide if you want to take a further journey - it takes time for us to get used to…

food pushers I have a few of them around me too however its MY eating plan and I want to be healthy for life so this means I dont want to be constantly depriving myself leave yourself a few extra calories to have ONE treat at work and make sure you are seen eating it say thank you - then say no thank you for the rest of…

yes I do and I do retain fluid so often my weight goes up in fact by weighing daily for a couple of months I could see the real pattern of my body and it helped me to not worry on the weeks when weight went up as I knew how long I would be bloated and just when to step on the scales again

what a lovely and inspirational story - wearing a short top or a tucked in top is on my list of things I would like to be able to do so for me I do think its a really big victory :)

I am losing and I cant exercise - I am on 1200 a day

at the moment my cals are set to 1200 to lose 1.2lb a week and I still have 60+lbs to go I do now eat exercise calories as I get nearer to target I will do more exercise (I am due an operation in the new year-so exercise at present is difficult)and not eat them all back and or reduce the number of lbs a week to lose

why not experiment and put it down for a week or two and see what happens

some times I am awake in the night due to pain and sometimes I snack - I log midnight to midnight

I have in the past I lost 70lb doing walking and diet for 6 months then the next 6 months a couple of low impact dvds and pilates and I so wish I was not so arthritic now if I was I would not have put on weight as I could be so much more active

sit down and write a list of all the advantages to you of losing weight some of those will be about health some will be to wear something in your closet some will be about better mental health so sit and make the list and read it often every morning before getting out of bed its a simple technique but it works for a lot of…

on my wish list to lose another three pound before xmas day so I see 190 on the scales to have my ill dog back to better health and I know I am getting a fitbit

great job :)

I am going to message you

I am sure you are already on my list but I will check

mine was a bit pricier but it can go anywhere on your body and you can link it with a usb cable and down load the data to your computer http://www.amazon.ca/Omron-HJ-720ITC-Version-Pocket-pedometer/dp/B000MN92WM/ref=pd_sim_sbs_k_5/177-9068843-8861419 for work I tuck mine into my bra if yu input your weight and height etc…

arthritis so bad I am awake at night in pain - should have had a knee replacement but instead I collapsed with multiple bilateral pulmonary emboli so am now on warfarin my heart races due to the damage sustained and am very short of breath from time to time depression so yeah I am with you on days when I just cant do the…

you look amazing and that weightloss is great too :)

36 f here and I ONLY buy good bras - from good department stores when they have sales on - there is no mileage in buying cheap the elastic is cheap and the bras lose their supportiveness buy about three good bras in nude colours dont buy too many when on your weight loss journey as they may not fit you for long

Oh and there I was thinking you addressed the thread just for me My name is Hazel and that is shortened to H now to answer your question yes I have something similar as do several people I know being here in the UK though I dont think you can be blaming me :):)

it doesnt matter if you keep using your old scale as long as you use the same one for your weigh ins if your scale is out by a few pounds it wont matter as you will stay on your eating plan until you are comfortable in your body

in my porridge I stir fresh berries or one teaspoon cocoa poder or some cinnamon sometimes I have the cinnamon and chocolate

set yourself up with some distraction techniques some of mine are - have a warm drink and promise myself I will have something to eat in 30min if I truly need it do an online game or sudoku start a craft project paint nails have a nice warm bubble bath and go to bed with a book - that one I save for when I am really needy…

I am a natural hugger - not with family so much, only my children - as my upbringing didnt include many hugs - my dh is not a natural hugger - I so wish he was
