What a lovely story! It's so refreshing to hear that you are still so much in love after 10 years of marriage! I'd say definately gp for it! You will be doing well burning off as many calories as you can first!! This kind of celebration doesn't come round too often so enjoy yourself!! Also you might find that you actually…

Well, I FINALLY lost another pound this morning bringing me to 159lbs....... AND........... A HEALTHY BMI :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: I am so happy, when I started mfp my bmi was 36!! Not just obese, very obese! Now it is 24.9! Just in time for my holiday to Italy on Sunday!! Yippeeeeeeeee!! Amanda…

Wow! Amazing loss Tami! You should be so proud of yourself!!

I have always been on the 'big' side, bigger than my naturally stick thin sister anyway, so always felt big. :wink: About 5 years ago I weighed 203lbs and lost 60lbs in about a year. I cut calories and exercised but I didn't change my mindset, my lifestyle. I thought once i got to my goal weight I could go back to my old…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I had a day like this yesterday, a very picky day, i didn't go too overboard but i tell ya, peanut butter on toast really hits the spot for me on days like this! I say just go for it, go home and have a slice of peanut butter on toast and feel like your giving yourself a treat, it really isn't that bad and you can get…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Thanks everyone for all your support! Its really amazing to belong to a community like this!! :flowerforyou:

Well I went for my Ultrasound today at the hospital and am pleased to report that the consultant said the lump is just glandular and has probably been there forever but i have just noticed it because of the weight i have lost, so all the fatty tissue isn't getting in the way anymore! :happy: :happy: :happy: Am VERY…

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Yeah never thought of that but it seem a little weird! :wink: mmmmmmmm devon cream, stop it now or i will have to go shopping!! :wink:

mmmmmm thats sounds gorgeous!!! I LLLOOOVVVVVEEEEE crumpets!!! I'd say they are more light and fluffy than english muffins! But you are right tamim, they are kind of hard to describe!! :laugh:

:laugh: Zen, well put!! Thanks everyone! you really know how to cheer me up!! Diann!! Haven't seen you in AGES!! Have sooooo been meaning to message you! Hope you are well!! And thanks for the compliment!! I think i will write a letter to the doctor and tell her what happened!! :flowerforyou:

Wow!!!! Thats amazing!! So even though you haven't lost any more weight, because you are maintaining, you have STILL lost inches!! All that exercise is paying off!! Congrats!! :flowerforyou:

Well, i am basically just venting about what just happened to me at the doctors!!! I went for my weight check up with the nurse and blood pressure check etc. It was a nurse i hadn't seen before and when she weighed mde she asked how much i used to weigh.( I was 160lbs today and i started at 232lbs) I told her and she was…

WOW! I have never thought about this until now!! I felt really fat last night and this morning, i even said so to my husband, and since being on here and watching what i eat and exercising I haven't said it for AGES!! Then i read this and realise i had a VERY bad day yesterday, stressed, angry and upset to name but a few…

Yeah i hear ya! I am going for an ultrasound first, next wednesday. Then they said they might stick a needle in and drain some fluid out to test! Not looking forward to it, but just want it to be over! From what i read, if it is something serious that is the best way to catch it, that it has showed up on your regular…

Whoa, i'm sorry! Did you feel a lump and then go have the test or do you have regular tests anyway and they told you about the lump? I have just been reading up a bit about it, i never knew how many different things a lump in the breast could be! What is the next test/what happens now? Take care, i sincerely hope it turns…

Really? Because my friend has just mentioned that it may be due to the weight loss, hormonal or something? I might google it now. Thanks everyone! I feel better already. I have never know anyone go for a mammogram or anything before but i suppose it is normal, and best to be safe. I have always just thought this kind of…

This is a bit off topic, but I know you guys are helpful and all have a lot of different life experiences so thought you may be able to help. 2 weeks ago i found a lump in my right breast. I left it a bit as i thought i was just being paranoid, but my hubby kept nagging me to go to the doctors. I went today and she…

Snuggling on the sofa with my hubby and doggy. Going on long hilly walks with my hubby and doggy. Sunshine. Going on holiday (especially to my favourite country - Italy) Working hard on renovating the house- and seeing the results! Family parties! Such a laugh!!

Wow everyone looks great!! Smilineyes i may do the same as you!! :noway: I am going on holiday in less than 3 weeks so i need some motivation to tone up!!! Amanda

Hi I avoided pb too at first as once i start with it thats it!! I just spoon it out of the jar! Anyway after hearing lots of people on here eating the natural stuff etc i thought i would get some, so i did and quite often have it on toast for my breakfast! BUT yesterday i had the most gorgeous lunch EVER!! i had peanut…

Hi Yes i have been here since October last year. I live in Macclesfield, Cheshire! Welcome! :flowerforyou:

Gosh, some of these are really bad!! Its makes me sad and mad at the same time!! And people wonder why so many people are in therapy these days???? I have something to add about how people react to my weight loss now. Apart from the usual "oh you look so good NOW, you must feel a lot better!" which i can sort of…
