Great job, well done. Such a beautiful figure. I hoped to loose more weight off my chest but only lost on the back size!

Hi, I am big on support and live in Notts. Feel free to add me x

This is spot on I'm afraid, it is all part of power and control in an abusive relationship. These are the early stages, not saying he will beat you but he will control you and get you to a point where you are uncomfortable around men "in case" they flirt with you :noway:

Firstly your relationship with Chris is not healthy. If you move with him you will be isolated from friends and family and that is exactly what he will want. He has no reason to distrust you, yet seems that he wants to control your life. This is not good. Love should be easy not difficult. Your ex is in the past and you…

Hi I'm originally from oxfordshire but now living in Nottingham/Derbyshire :-)

Wow! You look amazing, like a totally different person! Well done xx

There is nothing you can do about what you have already done. You can move on from it though. Everyone has set backs that are caused by our personal problems or injuries. You can get back into it and control it. Just start logging again and remember why you started this journey. You can do it x

Hi, I wish you all the luck. You will reach your goal, especially with all the support and motivation you will get from the wonderful people on here! I'm also from the uk, I've gone from a size 16 to a 12 and my aim is size 10 - never bothered with that aim as didn't expect to get this far! Elina x

Welcome Ryan! And good luck x Elina x

Hey, welcome and good luck. Elina x

I know how you are feeling too. I've had the same in my marriage and didn't address it soon enough. Try and speak to him about it before it has a really negative effect on your relationship. I didn't address the comments and now I feel I am being accused all of the time and not too happy at the moment. Hopefully if you…

My husband has tried to sabotage me from day one. Now I've lost 3 stone our relationship is not great. He has been the opposite of supportive and he's so insecure about me finding someone better. Truth is, that's what he's pushing me into. Who wants a box of chocolates literally pushed in their face?! Not me. My advice,…

What a difference. Looks like two different people! Well done! xx

I feel a little releaved I am not the only one with insensitive parents and partners! My husband has constantly pointed out normal size women saying they are fat. Not very nice when most of the time they are smaller than me... I lose weight and he's still not happy as now more likely to find someone better. Can't win! Then…

Very good, certainly made me smile!!! :laugh:

I know exactly how you feel. I've battled against my unsupportive husband since I started my journey less than a year ago. I've lost 3 stone and he's not happy about it - mostly down to his own insecurities. Still being encouraged to eat crap and gain weight. It's not nice but you sound just as determined as me so just use…

Hey, all the friends the better! Add me too x

We all have bad days, weeks sometimes. It's what we do afterwards that counts. Sometimes we need to have the bad days to realise we still need support and motivation. So today is a new day and you can get right back on it x

I Have a west highland terrier (westie) she's 3 and due to my shifts sometime she's at home all day. It's not a problem and just means she's very happy to see me when I get in! I think it's good to research the bread as some require less exercise etc. I also have 3 cats so it's entertaining to say the least!

I think everyone is spot on. I would say firstly if it's easier block her status updates on facebook for a start!! Some people only know how to bring people down with negative comments, some horrid woman said to me "have you lost weight or have you been ill". Nice, but ultimately I can change my weight, she will always be…

Hey, I'm originally from Oxford but currently living in Nottingham/Derby. So far lost around 3 stone since last April but struggling to shift the rest of my weight. Good luck everyone! x

Welcome and good luck to all you newbies :flowerforyou:

Can I join too?! I am on my last 7lbs to lose and have slipped back into late night snacking and bad habits. Have gained over Christmas but back going to the gym now and need to start those torturous spinning classes again!

Good luck from Nottingham. You sound like you have the perfect attitude to succeed x

Welcome and good luck! :flowerforyou:

Hi Mandy. Welcome and good luck!! xx

That's a strange one, I know after I've been on the cross-trainer for a while my toes go numb. No idea why, maybe we are using the wrong footwear?! :wink:

Welcome! Hopefully everyone can give you loads of support to help you reach your goal x

Welcome from miserable Nottingham, England!

This drives me insane!! Almost where I want to scream or hit the person over the head with the keyboard!! Plus all the grammar issues, it's really not that difficult to know the difference between to and too!!???!! All the posts are so funny and so true!
