No longer thinking like a heavy weight can take some time!! I sometimes slip into negative thinking too & I suspect it is part of how I got to be so very heavy in the first place! Checking the mirror is a good place to start, but then that is not familiar either......!

I never had peanut butter until I was an adult as it was not eaten in my family when I was growing up. I never really developed a taste for it much although I do not dislike it. I am now seeing it in a lot of recipes for flavouring in healthy cookies. I also see it as low fat peanut butter which seems to get a bit of…

Love it! So right. I enjoy doing stuff I have not been able to do for years, just normal stuff & getting on a bicycle!!
-
I agree but it's hard to accept compliments when you have been so hard on yourself for so long & may not yet be where you want to get to. It is something we need to learn how to do while also learning what not to stick in our mouths......

Your diet is not that bad but could do with some tweaking. If your Mum sees you making healthy choices & eating well I am sure she will be fine with you looking well. If you get a diet sheet from your GP & follow that it will really help & reassure her too. You have a choice as to what to put in your mouth & even the…

Most definitely NOT! Enjoying not being in the outsize dept any more but as to where I am going it is towards health & not bones!!

Best thing you could do. Get one that you can zero with a dish on & the re-zero as you are adding food. May cost you that $50 or a little more as you are looking but keep going in stores & checking until you find the one you want, no matter what it costs & then keep your eyes open in the sales or look on the internet for…

Excellent - thankyou!

Well done, that is an amazing success for you and your future!! I started at 303 and am now 215 so still chasing the 200.......... I will catch it......and pass it! I have MS and like you am getting better & better as I get less & less but it won't be a cure! Will be a whole bunch easier pushing a chair around though if I…

My faith in God can not be separated from any part of my life & that includes my quest to be thinner & healthier! Without God I am nothing and He has also given me some faith that I can do this big thing in little steps! Not sure just how folk cope without that?!?!?
-
I gotta just encourage you on this one.......
-
Gotta start somewhere! Well done for in a downwards direction!! One day at a time, one step at a time, one mouthful at a time - You'll get there!! Feel free to add a new friend if it helps!

Use the internet to search for what is on offer & where. Make a list & only get what is on it. Don't go in a bad mood or hungry or order on line?? Grow your own is good exercise too. If you only have a little patch you can do tomatoes, peppers, leaves in pots on the balcony? Aldi good & also some local neighbours may grow…

Oh wow! Good reason to be proud! Well done

First thing you need to do is purge your friends list of people who aren't going to support you. PS. I'd LOVE that cheesecake recipe if you'd care to share. I don't even have a lot of friends on here yet. I guess I just got all the bad ones :noway: Here is the recipe: Crust: 1/2 cup pecans 1/4 cup almonds 1/4 cup shredded…

I tried using conversion tables for this when making a Canadian cookie recipe (for others!!) Did not work at all & had to go out & buy cups. So frustrating!!
-
I have too many friends who are skinny who would love a bit of curve........we are as we are! We need to be comfortable in our skin! Why would you want to cuddle a stick any more than someone you can not get your arms around?!?!?
-
You can, you started, so let's watch you succeed!! Everyone hits their tipping point as some stage. I am enjoying tying my shoelaces without getting out of breath, walking up stairs properly instead of one step then move foot to meet the other, riding a bicycle!!!!!!!!!!! and loads more It takes time so be patient with…
-
Yup, I eat until MFP tells me to stop..... It is calculated that way!
-
You are doing just great! Keep it up.......
-
Stir-fry!! As many different coloured veggies with it at possible! Yum!!!!
-
As you said no excuses but done now & good plan to go on with.............it was fun but can not be allowed to last!! One day at a time!!
-
Keep at it! It will show eventually!! I see some differences particularly in how your arms hang but people tell me all the time I am shrinking & I really am not much but I am toning up so they can see that. Do not get disheartened.........it will shift!
-
You found a few then?? I am from the UK but my favourite place to travel to for a holiday is Vernon in BC & I go every 2-3 years to spend time there. So I am a wanna be Canadian!!
-
You want to, you wear it!! They are battle scars and you should wear them with pride!! If I could I would but I got a looooong way to go yet!!
-
As fruit is nowhere near as high in sugar than chocolate, which is how I got where I am, there is no way I will be able to eat enough for it to be a real problem. It is full of fibre & vitamins too so enjoy within reason! & don't track it.....
-
Welcome & all the best on your journey! I am also enjoying the UK weather but down south. If you need some friends for support feel free to add me......
-
Only if you eat more than 6 in a day!! Balance is good.....
-
Stir-fry with little fry & much veggies!!
-
and it could have been for 2 people to share!! Opinions are not required unless asked for. I suspect someone keeps commenting on her food & so she thinks everyone can do it........ You know yourself better than that. Ignore & move on!
