  • I’ve just ate Haagen-Dazs GELATO, chocolate drizzle, small pot of ice cream, says less than 150 calories and was approx 136 cals, lovely and rich and just enough to eat. This was bought in uk.
  • I used to drink a LOT of wine, most days, and when i first decided to lose weight, I was still trying to do the same, I would work out my food, around the wine, it after a week or two, the food won, and the alcohol was getting less and less, so I have gone teetotal all together, as when you drink, you make bad choices with…
  • I have come back here after 5 years! I lost over 75 lbs, five years ago and kept it off for over 12 months, then, both my husband and I have been ill, in and out of hospital etc, my husband was at deaths door, at one point, but has come round again, and all this in four years, I gained most of what I had lost, I have…
  • That is brilliant news - I have improved in theme way, I have had osteo-arthritis for a few years now, and as I lost weight (I have lost 85lbs through counting calories and walking on treadmill) as I've lost weight, my pain has got less and less. Keep up the good work.
  • Where do you buy them ? Are they in the UK ?
  • Hi, I am 51 and I have lost 85 lbs over the last 18 months, I have osteo arthritis in hands, hips and shoulders and the only exercise I do, is walk on my treadmill at home, most days, I try and walk four to five miles throughout the day, and stick to 1200-1500 calories a day, it comes off slowly, but you have a greater…
  • If you work out an average of 2lb per week, you will still lose the weight, but it will take a little longer, but you have a very good chance of keeping it off - if you are too strict with yourself and lose more than 2lbs per week- you will end up putting most of it back on - I've been there over the years myself, working…
  • I try. It to cheat as such - but if I'm going somewhere special or I really want to eat something, I will - but I work my calories out per week, and not just day to day, so if I want something to eat say for 700 calories, I knock 100 calories off each day, then I get to eat what I want, and by knocking them off each day,…
  • Change the scale setting - I used to weigh myself in stones and pounds, but it always seemed that I couldn't get past the stone mark - so I changed it to weigh in pounds only, then it seemed to move, but if I get stuck trying to get below, say 190 lbs - I change the scales into kg, then it comes up with a drifter et figure…
  • I'm from southport
  • Wow x thanks for all the positive replies and yes, I know I have come a long way, and I do feel good about what I've lost, I think I will start with another form of exercise and try and mix things up a little and forget about the number on the scales for a while, Thanks again
  • Many thanks for all your kind comments, my profile on here, isn't open, as when I logged to lose the 80 lbs, my email got hacked and I couldn't get onto it anymore, so had to re- start on here again. - I have arthritis in hips, hands and shoulders, so I walk on my treadmill, nearly every day and walk between 3-5 miles,…

  • I have lost 80 lbs, to reach my goal weight of 135 lbs, and I dont, log or write down or measure my foods now, as I know roughly what I'm eating - but I do try to make good decisions with food, I will eat chips with a meal, but I tend to pass on the desert, or I will have a sandwich, but still pass on the butter, and I…
