The scale is just one small measure of your progress. If you have other measures, like feeling good, and other NSVs then does the scale matter? Ignore it, there is no point obsessing, you are on a journey and its the end goal of a healthy life in all ways that matters not the figures :)

I have lost 14 lb, and apart from my husband, the only comment I have had is my father in law asking me if I am pregnant. Don't let them get you down, and remember the people you see most often will see your gradual change so may not notice it as much as those you don't see often.

I am in Wales, and have about 5 stone to go also. All friends welcome!

Aim at 250, see how it feels. Why set yourself a huge goal? A lot of people have mini goals, with mini rewards like new clothes, a hairdo etc. Your goal can change, but looking at loosing all of it in one hit probably won't make you feel all that great.

I don't log Domino's garlic and herb dip. I figure one little packet once a week is a treat worth absorbing.

My diary sucks because I am focused more on learning portion size right now than worrying about what the content is, and its working out well for me. I wouldn't mind anyones comments on my food diary, but then I wouldn't necessarily change anything because of it either. I guess people have different goals, and different…

You look awesome! Congrats on the hard work, and thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you all for the encouragement, and friend requests, I love making new friends on here that I can help support and be supported by!

Oh yes, these are invaluable! Keeps the teachers on their toes, and the child knows that they are responsible also.

And oops forgot to say that it is just as educational for your boy to miss a trip and learn a lesson about consequences. You are not punishing him so much as preparing him. Actions have reactions, and he needs to learn to deal with them.

Do they correspond to anything? They sound very much like the meltdowns my autistic spectrum boys have.

I have had the Galaxy S for a while now and I hate it. It was awesome at first, (well no, actually the first one was broken out of the box and I had to get a replacement) but now it is so slow, even when I factory reset a lot. I miss calls because it wont respond to me answering, it turns off randomly, overheats regularly,…

The problem with exhaustion is it tends to be linked to physical stress, ie, adrenal issues. Too much over time can lead to weight gain as the body fights to cope with too much cortisol.

You probably don't want to hear this but I just started today and OMG its killing me! But I feel great!

Need to buy a tape measure, mines been appropriated by one of the kids I think

I keep getting that this last couple of weeks also! I notice it flares more at times of high stress, either mental or physical.

Hi Valerie! My Wii needs dusting off big time, I started with Wii fit a couple years ago and probably haven't used it for about 10 months. Thanks for adding me as a friend, I also need all the support I can get!

I have no idea what Shred is but I would love to give it a go. I have only just started on this site, so please feel free to add me to help us support each other. The link would be great too.

I will try also, this is my first diet and the first weeks gone quite well. Thanks for the motivation!
