you are so NOT a failure.... you are an inspiration and my goodness your post was just what I needed to read tonight!! Congratulations on your amazing achievement x

I try generally to eat Lowish carb....but mainly wheat free! Since getting on this diet and counting calories I have eaten more carbs...but within my 1200 cal range and guess what ...in my first week here I have gained 4lbs!!! So what is that all about? Do you think it is an intolerance to carbs, wheat, food???? It hasn't…

Have heard that pie manufacturers by whole cows, freeze the carcasses and grind them up bones, skin and all. Not sure they can still get a way with since CJD...but it wasn't unknown in the 80s just wish I can remember the name of the manufacturer...quite well known (UK)

Some years ago I lost 4 stones /56 lbs using Phentermine. I never slept...maybe a couple of hours a night, I was buzzing. I barely ate, drank gallons of water as I was always thirsty. I became addicted to it.....although I had reached a stage that I had stopped losing weight. I eventually weaned myself off it.....took a…

I have done WW and calorie counting.....have lost weight with both. I think WW is good if you need the group support at meetings...the online community is just like this one.

Yummmmmmmmmmmm!!

Thanks guys...really didn't know it had any affect on metabolism....definitely need to up the exercise then....I really need to get the weight off to complete the healthy me this year!!

Mrs LawsonNavy....you look amazing in your photo! You have such a warm and friendly smile!

I have to say that looking at your diary your diet is not too healthy!! I'm sure if you got your carbs from more veggies and ate some lean protein like Quorn you might notice a difference. Don't think your body is getting what it needs....so is hanging on to what it gets!

Do what you always did and you get what you always got!!!

I guess if it was that easy none of us would be here!! Having said that I do believe it gets easier as you get into the rhythm of it. I am at the beginning again after many years of going up and down.....so I sympathise with you......I'm just sure we can all do this thing if we try!!
