Everyone, you are so kind and supportive, Iv started logging this week, and so far its as I expected, but also cracked out long walk this morning, Im going for some activity this evening sprinting and running alternately to get cardio burst, and later in week booked for playing squash. Im adamant Im going to win. And also…

In the army, we used to have a sarge say, thumb up bum, brain in neutral, its not the pain that hurts but failure! This is a great subject and will be great to see peoples responses.

well done, and keep looking for those subtle changes, they are the ones that really count, like the clothes that r no longer tight, or eating smaller or not wanting more, or rejecting the bad foods, Those small victories are very inspiring to many people and we all love to hear about them, because this is a positive site,…

its all been said, but I do think women r far more worried about their bodies than men, when you look in the mirror you see all the things you hate and have disgust in your eyes, men look in the mirror and see, sexual chocolate. So, go on the weekend, dont worry, you are beautiful and keep that in your mind and you will…

stay focussed I had that few weeks ago, the inches were dropping but not the weight, just keep believing and doing the right things it does happen, remember the body is a complex machine, it can never be as simple as in and out, its more delicate than that, let the body do its work and it will show. good luck

brilliantpics, great achievement, well done

love the suggestions, im gonna pass on to me partner, she keeps trying to get me into banana sandwiches

gud work, keep goin, brilliant news

thank you to everyone posted here, Im going to work on doing 11 cups water per day, and stay away from fries, and watch sodium, I do try to avoid that but I really appreciate everyones time. Tonight I had stuffed marrow and veg, so yeehah, Im getting there, believe me, my diary is much better now than a few months ago.…

that is fantastic news and very well done, it was that category wen in hospital that stirred me to action, sadly Im seeing that even when the fat is gone Ill still be heavy with muscle, which means I will still classify in hospital test as clinically obese, which is crazy, apparently strongmen and rugby players have this…

i used to be so busy i didnt hav time for exercise, then i actually diarised my time, I found i sat in the bath for hour every nite. I changed that to a quick shower and have relaxing bath as a treat and voila im sorted with no additional strain. If we step bak and think logically about wot we need to achieve the world…

this topic is a fascinating one, and very difficult to conceive, because on the most part, people hate exercise becos they use it as an excuse, or are heavily out of condition. BUt you seem to have a genuine distaste for the pointlessness. I wonder if I might suggest a couple of things, firstly, if you can exercise and…

Ur on right track, I posted last week, that altho I had put on a lb in a week, Id actually lost 2" off my body. So the scales are not the best indicator of losing weight. Stay on track, take heart from the support you receive here and keep motivated, The way I see it, even if you lost nothing more, at least you are eating…

tracking is a much better bet than dieting as its not a big lifestyle change, everyone is going to have different ideas, but i came to the same conclusion, that if i managed what i actually ate better then i would be halfway there, as for exercise thats going to be best answered by someone with medical knowledge, but i had…

stay positive, i put on a lb this week but lost 1-2" thats the hidden loss, so keep up the gud work, dont focus on the lbs or inches but think about how gud u are all beginning to feel and how you know this is the right thing for you. Nothin wrong with monitorin what u eat and how u exercise that can only be gud for your…

thanx dgroulx

thanks everyone, Ill bring it up with docs next time Im in, but Im probably worrying over nothin, I generally have never had an Iron probably until I had a blood clot, now I kind of over obsess. I appreciate everyones time, and I do just love the help and info that people want to share.

this is a great topic for us newbies, iv managed to lose weight on here, but my calories in a day is a massive amount, Iv started to balance my food and am exercising regularly and have adjusted goals, so i dont feel hungry and im on the right track, do i try to achieve the calories or stay where I am. I think experience…

i was a big fan of full fat coke. u cant beat it, however, i was shocked one day to read that i was nowhere near my water requirement for a day. I hated water, disgusting taste and no rush and just a nasty business, however, i forced myself to cuit everything out except tea, and drank loads of water. yes i had headaches…

My dad used to sort my program out, and once I hit a barrier, I could not complete the whole routine, he just moved the exercises around, and bingo i did it, so, the order is important that u dont fatigue an important area quickly. but it is a very difficult thing to do. It might just be worthwhile just payin sum1, once…

hiya, happy to join in, my total loss target is 98lbs, Iv done the first 14lbs on me own, then found this and in week did 4.4lbs. Im now just taking it easy. its getting motivated to do the exercising which is critical. Happy to be friends share thoughts etc. Gud plan

glad every1 havn a laff, but the point was creating a new exercise called misc with same characteristics as sex, will be far more discreet if you use it, and you can still then count the calories, it will be our little secret
