You are looking great! Well done girl!

Cut back on expenses! Do you really need a car & nobody NEEDs a mobile phone!!

So glad you have a sensitive & helpful boss. Not everyone is so fortunate! I work for the NHS and they have been nothing but difficult all through my working life. Uniforms always had to be specially made even when I was not that big! If they had had a more helpful approach I may well would have used the services they…

and I do hope you told them to take a hike??

If women are reacting just to looks then they are most certainly the wrong women to be worrying about! Weight is an issue for most people when getting into an intimate relationship but character is far more important for a first reaction!! Keep being you & have confidence that as you look after yourself & care for others…

Yup! Well done on your start in very difficult circumstances!! Exercise will improve your depression so I would suggest you start doing something, anything you fancy really!! Keep positive & I will keep praying for you! Mx

Not exactly but Chelmsford!! I have lost 100lb but I got another 4-5 stone to go yet, so in for the long haul........... I nag about healthy veggie intake though!!

I lost 6 stone & my mother could not bring herself to say anything at all about my weight (never stopped herself before!!) as she was unable to say anything nice! Some people just can't be nice!!

Well done mate! Good realisation of what makes you tick & well done for stepping through that door!! Praying for success always.....

My Ramoska, used almost as much as my digital kitchen scales!!

Bicycle!!

Not interested & shall not be bothering! I have better things to read & do!

Lemon juice or a touch of vinegar!

A difficult journey for you & congratulations on getting so far!! I too have a lot of lose skin & wish it would shrink. Not sure if it will but my way of looking at it is to celebrate that it is not still full of fat! As a counsellor I would recommend any of that kind of help you can get but don't forget to celebrate how…

Good evidence that it is the extra food that puts on the weight not the drug! Understandable that you eat more food or less healthily when depressed as it is part of the disease but don't blame the drugs!!

Depends on how many serving I get out of it. If it is too many cals I make it serve more.....

Well done matey! It has taken me considerably longer to lose nearly 100lbs but as I have MS too I guess I should cut myself a bit of slack there! Loose skin is a bit of a pain but I remain grateful that it is no longer full of fat!!

Feel free to add me......

Yup me too! Can always add layers though & not regretting losing the inbuilt insulation!!

Just who are you trying to cheat?? I do not deny myself anything within reason but I incorporate it into my cals. If I cheat, I am only cheating myself out of success earlier than possible........

Healthy eating & exercise is good for all but when you are not sure just how you get to that you need professional help with it! I had very bad perception of what my problems were & never got far with addressing them until I went for counselling to discuss relationships with food & people. So my advice is to get some…

You are not the only one! I spent most of my life trying to blend into the background as if they may notice that I was fat if I didn't! Of course they noticed I was fat! It was unmissable!! My friends were always sensitive but I was over sensitive. Other people just did not matter but I have learned to see value in who I…

Welcome back to it! I am also hoping this will be the last time I have to lose this weight. 7 stone gone but another 41/2 to go...... I am in Chelmsford. Feel free to add.

I have lost an Olive! Olive is my wonderful landlady who has been so great to me!! She is 81 today and stands only 4ft 11inches and weighs 7 stone. Not a lot for a lady with a big heart but she has supported me with my weight loss journey even though she really does not have a clue as to what it means to weigh so much!!…

It was great wasn't it! I am still waiting to get the book & plan to try some of the recipes. Lovely to see my mate Liz on the show - or less of her anyway!!

Wtg. What on earth does it mean?? Absolutely nothing!!

Well done girl! Now that is something to be proud of!!

Start today, with or without meds it does not matter! One day at a time........ I think most over-eaters have a whole bunch of emotional reasons for it and I would recommend counselling to help deal with theses as it was not until I did this did I have the head success that I have now. In the mean time one day at a…

I always stick it in the recipe page & then they are there for the future. Nothing would induce me to eat processed foods in order to avoid this. Life is about being healthy not quick!

Yup! Me too now but I do sooooooo remember that feeling!!
