  • You look beautiful & well done for your loss! Don't forget to measure as I did not do that until half way through & wish I had. My tight 48D bra has gone though & been replaced with a 40 which is now loose............like you I must be thinner but I think it takes time to catch up in your head!! Well done you!
  • Guessing that you are here to change that feeling! However, I remember it all too well so I will cheer you on & say that it is more important that you do this for yourself and everyone else will benefit from a happier you.......... Friend me if you need some support!
  • Too much cheese!! Where has the one with cottage cheese in it gone?!?!?
  • I give them a week if they are on hols & have said they will be away or I have one lady who said she would find it difficult due to location to get a signal for a month. If they disappear for a month & do not interact with me then I delete. I also delete if they have a really bad diet & it's not getting any better!!
  • Bloody mothers! I had to restrict her input into my life as she was so destructive & it sound like you may have to do the same?? I would end up eating chocolate after this!!
  • Yup, jealous! Ignore & carry on...........
  • One day of not eating all your cals is not going to be harmful! Enjoy your food without being legalistic!!
  • If you are young & the skin is cared for with baby oil & good nutrition the chances are you will have little loose skin but hey it will look a hell of a lot better than with the fat in it! I have much loose skin & when I get to target weight I may get some surgery but in the mean time I enjoy seeing it show that I am not…
  • I wonder if he is feeling a little self conscious since you have lost weight & he has gained?? I suspect there is more to this than just sex as most men do not say no but there may be a reason for his reply. See if he will talk but in the mean time leave him to do the running for a bit....
  • Happy for you to add me but I am a little concerned by the daily goals for your food! 1000 cals is below the recommended amount by alot of experts & you are going under that!
  • with butter wonderful but as not really allowed that now I go for cottage cheese with pineapple! Yum! A little of what you fancy is not harmful!!
  • and now for what you did right! You logged on to MFP & got some support! Log what goes in, move your butt a bit but not enough to hurt too much & take one day at a time........it's the only way!
  • A lot of unhappy people can be mean but it is not acceptable to take it out on others! I agree we should all be kind to others but I just know I am in the minority on that one!! People have opinions & just bully & shout their way through. The fact that nobody seems to post after them or they get a stream of haters after…
  • Oh be kind to yourself! Have you seen all the positive stuff you have achieved?!??! You are tired, possibly a little depressed & in need of some help with the grotty stuff! Any chance a friend could give you a hand to clean up & then you would feel better in your environment? Can someone help you with the children while…
  • If people want to cheat they will cheat! I have some great supportive friends of the opposite sex, on here and in life. I respect them by not flirting with them married or not (I am not but have been married!) I someone is sleazy & makes me feel uncomfortable they get deleted whether or not they are male or female!! If I…
  • Well done, that is amazing!
  • Am I being "ist" of any kind by saying that I do not really notice anyone's skin colour or accent (unless I have trouble understanding them & that is a different issue!) any more? An individual is one person created by God as who they are & entitled to treatment by me as a human being. I may not always agree with their…
  • It's not just fat you can see that is a problem as it sits around your organs. If you are happy with how you look that is great but if you want to feel healthier you are in the right place to tweak your diet to healthy & add some gentle exercise. While you are so young it is good to get into good habits & I wish I had when…
  • Jiffle! A local Norfolk (UK) word for fidget!

  • You can only do this one day at a time! It is too scary to think of how long it is going to take to sort out but then just how long did it take to create the problem?!?!? One day at a time & celebrate all you have done so far......
  • You look amazing! I am not sure if you are seeing just what everyone else is seeing?!?!? I too have lots of baggy skin in places (95lb gone!) but not as much as I thought I would have. As I have another 50lbs to go I will wait & see how it all looks but at present I am just so chuffed that it is no longer full of fat!…
  • Well done! I have discovered that if I meet a friend for lunch or coffee & am not hungry, I can sit & drink a coffee with no problem! I choose to say I would love to eat a doughnut but that I am not going to as I will regret it later when it makes me feel sick. I discovered that I do not die from not eating every time I am…
  • It is indeed a lovely day here in the UK! I am off out to get on the bike. Not very active due to MS but keep at it to lose slowly & get fitter. Add me if I can help! Mary
  • Not here to gawp but to cheer! I have a few men friends who have been a great support & seem to have slightly different issues with weight loss than girls. I would like to say well done for being here & all the best success in your quest for health!
  • If I look I comment & I would hope others do on mine too but I guess they don't. My favourite friends take note of what I suggest, usually about more veggies and I would take note of what is suggested for me. Otherwise, why bother at all?!?!?
  • If you can get up for work each day you have self control. I am sure there are other examples of what you can control in your life. You can gain control over your eating & I am glad you have some help coming. In the mean time try baby steps of control ie not putting on what you have lost & controlling the exercise that you…
  • Freddo - 95 cals!
  • Now 18 months following surgery & I have discovered that if I do not control this I can put on weight! That is SCARY!! I have only lost 50% of what I need to lose but I try & keep at it & am losing gradually and am now able to exercise. Remember how bad it was there & STOP bad habits now before you end up back there. Just…
  • Many people manage this without exercise at al. Some of my friends & I live in wheelchairs or are physically unable to exercise & are doing this on diet alone. If you want to succeed you can. Try swimming as it is non-weight bearing
