Hi, welcome to mfp. I've been on and off here for a couple of years now and find everyone immensely supportive. Feel free to add me if you want x:smile:

Not German but lived in British Forces Germany for 10 years. Both my children were born there :-)

Strawberries or anything strawberry flavoured...bleuchhh!

Nice when you're young. Nasty when you're old.

Hi, I'll be your friend :-)

Helen from Sheffield :-)

Sheffield. Been on and off here for about 2 years and struggling. Anyone add me if they want :-)

I'm low carbing at the moment and it is recommended for bariatric surgery patients like myself. Protein will fill you up more and take longer to digest but as someone else said you have to be careful not to put strain on your kidneys. I get quite bad withdrawals when I first start but after a few days you do feel a renewed…

San or Tracy from the Fat Slags out of Viz comic!:wink:

Sheffield! :-)

Don't beat yourself up over it! We all do it and just have to jump back on the waggon. The weight will come off and giving into your cravings now and then is no bad thing. After years of years of dieting I have no willpower or strength whatsoever anymore and always give into cravings. The best thing to do is to try and…

Hi Liz, Welcome! I have been on this site, on and off, since around May last year and find it brilliant. When I put my mind to it and complete my food diary accurately and exercise I do really well. Not been doing so well lately but am back in the zone now! Good Luck :-)

Hi, welcome. I love this site and keep coming back for inspiration. It really helped me during the summer and I'm hoping that now the season of comfort food eating is upon us it will keep me on track :)

Hello from 'Sunny Sheffield'! Good luck to you! Helenx

Well done! I had a band 3 years ago and then revised to a sleeve last year and have lost 126lbs so far. It's great to be able to buy lovely clothes and feel fab in them :)

Great story! I think that after a while we exude health and fitness in our faces, demeanour, etc. as well as our overall appearance body-wise. Sounds like you have got there. Well done :)

Brilliant weight loss! I'm afraid I don't know the answer though. I find that as soon as I become complacent and stop watching everything I eat is when I regain weight...and more. Well done on your fantastic achievement though :)

What's sex??? ;)

I would concur with the above comments. I suffer from constant stress 24/7 and am always battling with my weight although I do admit to overeating as a result.

I have always been a huge overeater and despite having had bariatric surgery still don't know when to stop. I just keep going for the sake of it. When I am eating at home I quite often make myself sick but am more careful when I am out. I agree that part of the answer is strict portion control, however, I will still go and…

Hi Everyone, I'm not doing so well at the moment, food-wise, but have stepped up my workouts at the gym and trying to be more motivated. I have been under a lot of added stress and haven't stopped stuffing my face with chocolate, wine, crisps etc. and I don't really care whilst I'm doing it. However, I can now jog for 15…

Hi everyone, I've lost my way these last couple of weeks and have been eating rubbish and not going to the gym. I've not been able to get out as my son is autistic and he has been truly awful just recently. I have been feeling very ill with stress and just not had much of a break. Well, I've had no break really as my…

Hi everyone I've had some trouble in navigating the site for messages etc. but that's only because I have 'techno trouble' as my daughter kindly puts it! So if anyone ever messages me and I ignore them it's not because I am ignorant, it's because I am quite useless! Anyway, I have been away last week in Cornwall. Wasn't a…

I'm afraid that I'm one of the 'nuts' that won't let my children have anything with aspartame in nor do I buy any products with it in. OK everything in moderation and all that I do agree with and I am sure that there are lots of things I do consume that you could say carry similar risks, but I don't believe enough testing…

Good luck! I am the same and have found calorie counting to be the only way of keeping control of my intake. I'm from Sheffield UK. Add me as a friend as well if you want. Helenx

I would have it, damage limitation and all that! Most of the cals in Indian are in the fat-laden sauces and you're not having any of those so I would be careful today, enjoy your treat tonight and go back to calorie counting tomorrow!

I crave chocolate and cake all the time regardless of what TOM it is! :laugh:

Hello, I'm quite new to the site and struggling to lose my remaining 2 stone after having bariatric surgery 3 years ago. Is there a group to join like on Facebook or do we just look out for posts? Sorry, I'm not very good at using the computer for this sort of thing - It took me a few weeks to work out how to post photos…

Hi, I'm from Sheffield and I recently joined a new gym called Puregym. It's only £12.99 per month (think it's 15.99 now) but even if I only go once a week it's not breaking the bank. I have started off very gently so far as I suffered a fractured skull a few months ago and have to take it easy for a while but you see all…
