How about some amateur dramatics if sport is not your thing?? It will get you out & about & with people who equally enjoy your drama. In the mean time keep logging & doing what you can each day. One step at a time, one day at a time, one mouthful at a time.........

I would just like to know......... who are we cheating?? I have things that I want but keep them within my allowance most times. Then if I happen to go over every month on one occasion then I do not feel too bad about it!

With you on McDonalds & most other fast food joints for that matter! Prefer to eat out with healthy food now & pay that little bit more.

You look great, well done!!

That would be me!! Welcome

You look great!! Well done for even having to replace the sloppy gym stuff. Walk tall & keep at it!!

I got on a bike last year after 25 years as my car died! Thought the saddle would kill me but suggest a gel saddle or cover to help. I just got a mileometre & that has boosted me to go just that little faster & takes the focus off the aches to a goal. Little at a time.......

Penningtons have great stretch jeans!! I bought 2 pairs when I was there & my 18s now getting loose. Size 16's waiting to be tried soon.......

If we could eat normally & not get obsessive we would not need MFP!! If he wants you to be healthy & happy then he will cheer you on but make sure you are spending quality time with him & not getting into the chat rooms while he is around more than you have to.....

Yep! Check your portion size!! You can not put weight on other than if you eat more than you use.

Yes, sometimes it does. However, the alternative is to keep the fat........... no big choice there then!!

I make my own using a bread maker. Dangerous time is cooling before I can slice & freeze it........ Nothing better or healthier

You need to log EVERY day & keep replacing unhealthy choices with healthy ones, a little bit at a time. Keep at it, after all, the weight was not gained in 5 mins & will not be lost quickly........

Choosing to ignore the negative stuff & be blessed by the positive! I too go for Philippians 4 verse 13 while using verse 12 to remind myself to be content with what I have just eaten!!

Having expressed their concern & you having checked out the numbers, the next reaction is to say firmly that this conversation is now over! Or you can get personal about them. Some friends just push it too far!! If it is family that goes double......

Hi, feel free to add me!

and you could just be in a bad mood!! May not be related to anything diet or health but some days we just want to kill somebody?

The grass may be greener but it will still need mowing!! Invest in a relationship & keep working at it..........

95 gone but still another good 50lb to go!! At 49 I had a BMI of 49 & did not want it to match at 50! Now I am 50 & feeling so much healthier I plan to go back to 49 next birthday......... Happy to cheer you on if I fit your group!

I have a small bladder & have always had to get up 2-3 times in the night. I got used to it. It does settle after you have had some time drinking water more but try less in the evening. As a matter of fact, having lost 95lb I no longer have to get up in the night so frequently, just the once if that now!! Guessing there is…

Well done for your gritty determination to do this!! You look great too but I am sure your hips, back & blood pressure are grateful for the relief of pressure.....

Perhaps counselling is the route to go with this if you are brave enough?? I was scared but I am so glad I did it as now I do have a handle on the why I eat what I eat , or for now just want to!!

I have done at times but now I can not eat those sort of quantities anymore & I am glad of it as my logical head remembers just how unhappy I was at 309lb & how happy I am now to be able to do a whole new bunch of things! My MS was worse & I was getting towards immobile, my depression was enormous & I was considering…

Feel free to add me but I am absolutely sure that the only way to do this |& be healthy is to eat clean & fresh!

It's on iplayer!! Watched them all & was amazed by the all round approach that the showed. Will be buying the book when I see it! My mate Liz was great on there......

Can you remember your reaction to enthusiastic weight losers before you realised what your problem was?!?!? I was just the same & could not see it until I was ready!! I am distancing myself from a few friends as they do not have a good attitude to it all at the moment & trying to remember all the things I said & did for 40…

Don't take cash with you so even if you are tempted you can not buy it! I need to do that with the dratted vending machines at work!

Rest, heat, painkillers & then gently start moving it but gym would be silly!

Not being honest about what we put in our mouth is how we got to have the weight problem we have! Lying to ourselves just won't help so even if it makes me cringe, I log it!!

I was told I was fat all my life & ate into it! It was not until I decided that it was time to change things was I successful in doing it! If now is your time then do it & let nobody stop you!! All the best!
