Hi, I'm 5'4", currently 177lbs. I normally wear a UK size 14 on the bottom, but only if it's comfortable, otherwise i wear a size 16 (my wardrobe has about half and half). On the top i usually go for a size 16 or 18 (depending on the style) as i am a DD bra size at the moment. I suppose i am more apple shaped and that is…

Wow, you look amazing. I'm so jealous. I'm 5' 4" and started out at 203 lbs, currently around 177lbs. My goal at the moment is 145lbs, which just gets me into the healthy range BMI. I remember always being about 10 stone from when i was about 18 - 25 (now 36) and i used to think i was fat. Oh how i wish i was that weight…

Hi Denise, I also had a baby last February and am still 2 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight. I've still got an extra 2 stone to lose after that though, as i was well overweight before. Don't feel bad about it - the slower it takes you to lose it, the less likely you are to put it all back on! Keep going, don't give up…

Hi, it's great to have friends for support and to motivate you. I'm almost half way to my goal. I'm not sure i would still be here if it wasn't for the support i've had. Will send you a friend request now! Good luck :)

Hi, I'm a new Mum aswell (well, newish as he's nearly 1 now!). Good luck with your weight loss. I'm almost half way there. Send me a friend request if you need some motivation! :)

I did it! I didn't weigh myself last night or this morning! :) Got to keep going until the 1st of March

Hi, i'm no expert, but just had a look at your diary for yesterday and i would say that a lot of the foods you eat are quite high in sugar - popcorn, cake, wafers etc, but you are not tracking sugars. Try tracking sugars aswell and then you may see where the problems are. Also, you didn't have a breakfast - don't know if…

Count me in! I am a scale addict! I weigh myself morning and night - stupid i know! Didn't lose much weight last month, maybe 2lbs at the most. I will try and stay off them until 1st March - perhaps i will get a big surprise when i do stand on them! xx

Hi, Nobody will insult you on here - you will only get help and support! Good luck!

Hi Lesley, You've done great to have lost 4lbs in less than 4 weeks! It's better to take it slowly anyway - i've heard it's more likely to stay off. I've only lost a couple of pounds this month, but am still happy with that. Every little counts! Feel free to add me as a friend if you need some more motivation! Marie

Hi, i find it hard to imagine also - but hopefully we will get there! I've never been what you would call thin, but was always happy in a UK size 12. At the moment i am kind of between 14 and 16 (depending on the shop). I just want to get back to a healthy weight and back into those size 12's. If i can do better then so be…

Hi Joyce, I'm a working mum (my husband is a stay at home dad) of an 11 month old boy and find it hard to find the time to exercise. I'm doing OK (almost half way to my goal), but it is slow because i probably don't exercise enough. Welcome to this site - it will really help you and it's great to have people to motivate…

Hi, I'm Marie from the UK. I've almost lost my baby weight, but still have more to lose after that. My total amount to lose was 56lbs. I've done 26 of those, so almost half way there. I would love to encourage you and get some encouragement back! Feel free to add me as a friend.

Hi, I'm also from the UK - Hampshire. Welcome to the site and good luck with your weight loss!!

Hi Heather, I randomly add people who i think i may have something in common with or who i find inspiring - it's good to have lots of 'friends' to keep you going. Anyway, they can only say no can't they? Feel free to add me if you like.

Hi, Feel free to add me if you like. I've got a nearly 11 month old boy and have nearly lost all my baby weight, but still have another 31lbs to go. Good luck with your weight loss!

Hi, I'm not new, but still looking for friends to help motivate one another. I work full time and have a nearly 11 month old son. I've already lost 25 lbs in those 11 months, but need to lose another 31 lbs to get to a healthy weight. I've been overweight for a few years now and it makes me sad to look in the mirror and…

Hi, Good luck with the rest of your weight loss. I've nearly lost my baby weight, but have more to lose after that. My son is now nearly 11 months old. Where are you from? I'm from the UK. Feel free to add me as a friend and we can encourage each other!

Hi, I'm a mum of 1 almost 11 month old boy. I've almost lost all my pregnancy weight, but still have another 31 pounds to lose to get to my goal. It's hard to find the time to exercise working full time and being a mum, i need some motiviation! Feel free to add me as a friend and maybe we can motiviate one another!

I really want to (and need to) do it this year also. Good luck and keep going! Have sent you a request as i could do with support also.

Hi Wes, Good luck with your weight loss - have sent you a friend request. Marielw

Hi, we are exactly the same current weight! Will send a request, good luck with your weight loss

Hi, Good Luck. I'm the same, but my baby is now 10 months old. I have about 7 more pounds of baby weight left to lose, but i was overweight before so still a long way to go.

Well done, you're doing great!:smile:

Hi Eileen, I am also from the UK, Hampshire. Good luck with your weight loss. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like - it's good to have the extra encouragement. :smile:

Hi and GOOD LUCK! I'm also from the UK - Hampshire. :smile:

Hi LizzyAngel, I'm in the same situation as you, but i had my little boy in February and still trying to lose those stubborn pounds. Add me as a friend if you like! Marie

I'm a UK size 14-16 and would love to be back to a size 12 and get into some of my old nicer clothes!

Hi, i'm in the same situation as you after my first child. I've lost 22lbs, but still have 34lbs to go! I was well overweight before though, so this isn't all baby weight. I'm new to the message boards aswell, although have used this site on and off for a few months. Good luck, feel free to add me as a friend!
