Very inspiring - you look years younger and just, well, more at ease with yourself - congratulations on your loss :)

I actually love this thread - I'm so glad I'm not the only lazy single person out there :)

I like Asda's own Good For You range of ready meals, but nothing really compares to cooking from scratch. Unfortunately! (I hate cooking :P) x

Good luck! I've never tried the 5:2 diet myself but I know there's more than a few people on here that are doing it successfully. Here's to a slimmer 2015!

I'm in the same boat! Really want to get something a bit more high-tec than a pedometer, but unsure of what the best one to get is! :)

I'd like to get into lifting but I'm not sure where to start - what's better, bodyweight exercises or free weights/machines at the gym?

Its amazing the difference you can see in all of your faces - you all look so much younger :)

Hi Alicia, Welcome! Its a great place to be, and a great time to start. I'm hoping to be more active myself over the coming weeks - my sister is getting married in May and I want to be able to fit into my bridesmaids dress! - so if you want to add me as a friend, please do so! All the best on your journey! xx

Congrats man - you've done a cracking job! Very inspiring :)

One-derland! Waist/hip ratio under 1.0.

Thank you for sharing - I'm just starting out doing bodyweight exercises and your story is very inspiring :)

Thank you for sharing your story - total inspiration! xx

Congrats on your success, mr - all the best for the future x

Thank you for sharing - very motivational! :) You look awesome in your bikini xx

Hi there! Yes, I'm starting again. Feel like my whole life is on hold while I lose weight, so really want to get on with it! What exercise are you planning to do? x

Great job mrs - you've done really well, and you look amazing! :)

I had no idea All-Bran had so much fibre in it! Thanks everyone for all the responses - I'll try and get some more beans and greens into my diet x

Good luck on starting over - sometimes that's just what you need, a fresh start. With regards to your metabolism, it's not set in stone - it will adjust if you feed your body the right kind of foods and exercise. Either way, best of luck on restarting your journey :)

You look amazing, mr - very dapper in your new suit! :)

Hi everybody! I'm Natalie, I'm 27 years old and I live in Scotland. I've had a weight problem my entire life, and I have unsuccessfully tried to diet my way out of it. However, no matter how cliched it sounds, I've realised I need to make a lifestyle change, rather than just be on another faddy diet, so that's why I'm on…

Super stuff! You look awesome, man :)

I was really touched by your story - what an amazing transformation. All the best x

That's great you're committed to getting back on it - I've had so many do-overs I've lost count but I am confident this time! Like one of the other posters, I've started thinking of it as one day at a time. I've got a long journey ahead of me, but taking it one day at a time, I'll get there. It's the only way to get there…

This has been just what I needed to see tonight - BUMP!

This is so hard for me too - the past two days I've felt have been very 'binge-y' after almost a week of being on plan. I've decided to just drink a lot of water to flush the excess salt out of my system and wait until I'm hungry again to eat again today. I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow to draw a line under the excesses…

Hey mrs, I'm sorry I can't help you with your problem but I just wanted to drop you a little line and say WELL DONE for being binge-free for over a week. I know it might not seem like a long time to some people, but to all us ex-bingers out there, it's an achievement! :) I still find myself fantasising about going to the…

I've used Bio-oil for stretchmarks and it did seem to make them fade a little. Unfortunately the result didn't seem to last - but the stretchmarks themselves got 'silvery' over time and faded on their own a bit.

Really inspiring, especially the time frame - gonna start upping my exercise a bit too :)

I agree with a few other posters, you DO look lots younger - good job! :)

To the poster above me - THANK YOU. I had no idea how much protein was in a can of tuna (I can see a lot of my lunch ideas being tuna-centric now!) :)
