I also failed trying to make oatmeal pancakes. It stuck to the bottom of the griddle pan and burned. bad smell and nothing edible = FAIL

the weight loss is great and all but what i REALLLLLY like about the second pic is that your iphone co-ordinates with your t-shirt. I respect that!

tried adding a spoonfull of instant coffee to oatmeal to spruce it up a bit. it tasted like death and looked like diahorrea. FAIL.

food is my mothers love language!!

see...i told ya!

i bet a clever person would be able to give you a mathematical foruma to work out how many cals you burned depending on your average heartrate and your weight. sadly im not that person lol. its good that you have come back : )

i should probably make it a rule to never eat pizza, it always makes me feel a bit ill after and theres about a million cals in it!! I dont drink alcohol. i was never a big fan tbh, and i dont dont think its worth the empty cals. for 2 years i didnt eat chocolate, now i have it (although currently its off for lent) oh the…

awesome! yeah, i have all but lost the girls too, i beleive its better this way! you look fantastic : )

lol! thanks guys, i promise they are all variations of me! : )

as you might expect the weight comes off very quickly at the start, which makes sense, esp for people witha LOT to lose, so i suppose the first hurdle was when the big numbers stopped coming. there were a couple of times when i went off track for a wee while and gained a little back, its taken a few years to get here. but…

yip i agree someone left a comment on my blog that said they were disappointed to see me putting a negative light on wieght loss. they said i should be happy because i was more healthy etc etc. It bothered me because they just totally didnt get what i was saying and making out like i would rather be 130lbs heavier again.…

i think i will gain this week, sometimes you just know that your week hasnt been that great. but its important to draw a line under these things and move on, dont dwell on it! I love to read success stories on the forum, reading about others journeys and seeing their success allways motivates me to get back on it : )

They will bother you more than anyone else,most would probably not notice! just be proud of yourself and your body...you've worked hard for it!

Cory, that race looks pretty intense!! I'm so impressed by you, it sucks that it didnt all go according to plan! next year!

I pretty much lost my boobs as part of my weight loss. They are much more managable now. I can go braless in a backless dress, which is good....but i think my bf would have rather they stayed! (well i know...he told me!lol)

I just seem to be constantly spending money on clothes and clearing old ones that are not that old out! lol! good feeling though. I think a lot of the clothes i have now i will be able to keep cos im only 12lbs away from target!

I have driven through it...we all felt uncomfortable : ) Aso...when people leave my work we have to fill in a "discharge form" which sounds minging. And this semester in a tutorial we talked about Penal substitution - which really actually isnt rude! its about Jesus!

A vegan guy in one of my classes made us all vegan pumpkin muffins a couple of weeks ago. It was so nice I actually thought to myself that i could go vegan quite happily, and just eat those muffins everyday : ) but no. Im not vegan. I just like those particular muffins : )

This appeals to me...I do a class (body combat) which is non contact obv...but i like to imagine myself winning the fight : )

Hello, well done on losing 2 stone already! I have recently started jogging too, although not outside, on the treadmill. It really is a great way to work out. I have tried running outside but just really cant do it, i dont know why, some strange psychological thing! im a weirdo! but i have got down to doing 5 km in 34…

If I have a lot of time on my hands i like to work out in the gym and then go for a swim, its relaxing : ) -and then i go in the sauna, which is lush : )

Sont let a bad day turn into a bad week, month, or 20lbs.... Be honest with yourself. Log everything. The guilt makes things worse, try to atone for it!(or some of it) If you have gone over your cals try to excercise till your back in the green. (I get trapped in this cycle too! I still turn to food to handle my emotions…

yip, have you upped the excercise this month?? Def seeing the results! well done : )

today mine is laser hair removal from the ahrley medical group.... Its to do with your internet search history i beleive. I was googling cosmetic surgery last week and the harley medical group are here today!

It's intersesting to hear this from a guys perspective. I swear that I do this all the time! It's crazy I look down at my thights when im sitting down and am (at times) completely convinced that i look the same and i dont! And you certainly don't look the same! I love the pic of you with the same seatshirt as your…

yeay for the dog lovers! I have a 4 year old black and tan miniature daschund called Poppet and he is my prince! He may be a little spoiled, but he is a great character. He isnt the most energetic of dogs, his favorite past time is sleeping in warm places!

yes! you are doing so great!! congrats on the 43lbs!

What a great story of pictures!! YOu have done so well and look great, so well done in reaching your target. You have an absolutely stunning face as well, and i love seeing pregnancy pics, so special : )

congrats on the 75lb mark! what a difference! keep doing what your doing! : )
