Hey, what a great result. You must be feeling so good! I have plateaued a bit. I lost about 28lb (was 247) before getting onto MFP but have lost 5 lb in the last 6 weeks. It's not too bad but not as much as I had wanted! Having said that I have learnt from here that measuring is a really good way to track progress too so…

This thread has made me so happy! (and it's a little bit funny too - in a nice way! )

Hey, might it help to change up your exercise a bit? The body gets used to certain activity done on a regular basis so it might help? Exercise DVDs or shows can just give your body that little surprise it needs to kick start the metabolism. Also, could you be exchanging fat for muscle? We all know what that does. Maybe not…

WOW! My copy of 30 ds just arrived today and you have motivated me to begin tomorrow instead of next week! Thank you so much for posting and congratulations on a fantastic result : ))

Some people suffer from indigestion and stomach cramps as a result of the skin but this is generally the result of a predisposed condition which causes sensitivity to certain acids. If you don't get reflux or cramps from the peppers then you're good to go! : ))

I have a look everyday to keep myself in check> I know it's not recommended but I find it helps me motivate myself to get moving if it's the first thing I do. I only log my weight once a week though. Normally on a Monday so I don't overdo it at the weekend. ; )

Night eating me too...which is actually new to me in the last 4 months (?!) Don't know why I started but it sure is hard not to open the fridge at goodness knows what time : / That and I really enjoy good wine/ beer ...tricky ! : ) Oh and avocados. I know that they are super healthy but I'm sure you're not supposed to eat…

You look wonderful! : ))

I used to wear a cheaper pair of trainers ( I think I spent £25 ish) and am now spending a LOT more on getting my knees and ankles put back together. I would recommend going to a running shop where you can speak to a specialist (this service doesn't cost anything) Getting a pair of trainers that are suited to your feet…

WOW! What a difference! You look great! Proves to me that hard work does pay off! Thanks for posting : )

AND THIS IS A VERY VALID AND IMPORTANT POINT> YOU REALLY DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A DEPRESSION EPISODE!!

What motivated you to start losing weight ? Was it because someone else told you you didn't look great in an outfit? Was it because you saw a picture of yourself that you hated? Was it because you realised that you were really ready to make a committed change? I only ask because from my experience the people who told me I…

Of course it counts! And, after many years of experience, I would be happy to tell your co-worker that pants DO NOT fall down if they are too tight! It defies the laws of gravity! Way to go you! : ))

My boyfriend still likes to eat chips and eat food that isn't great for him but since I started getting healthier he is eating a lot LESS of this stuff. His mother has nagged him for years about his weight so I am not about to go down that route. He sees me looking and feeling better and wants to be there with me. Slowly…

Fabulousness! And the shoes are super cute! : )

219lb at the moment. down 5 lb on MFP but down from 247 so far. I don't mind telling people because it is no longer something to be ashamed of. I am dealing with it, my way, with help and support. I am making myself better but hiding the number from people makes it a bit like a nasty little secret. It's not. It's only a…

What do you want to look like? How do you want to feel? Works for me with exercise (push a little bit harder or longer) and with food ( I tend to put it down ) The only thing I know is that I'm asking the question I already know the answer. : ))

Lightly steamed and dipped into boiled egg instead of bread soldiers. Asparagus soldiers! Mmmmm : )

Just waiting for mine to arrive from amazon and should be here any day. If it gets here soon i will join no worries! Would be great to have others to help me stay motivated and hopefully I can help too! : )

What a great idea as a reward for your success! You are doing a great job! : )

I would love to know the answer to this one too! : )

Way to go! That must feel so amazing and you are a great inspiration ! : )

That's a great idea too! I have also done exercise with rice (the weight I have lost) in a backpack. It is so scary how much extra strain my body felt just with a small amount of extra .... eek!

That's great! Weigh out 3 lb of rice (1.4 kg) and see what it looks like! Way to go! : )

My wonderfully beautiful sister! Inside and out! xxxxx (Don't know how to post pics :( )

Definitely agree with the above. It is so much easier to keep short term goals...especially at the beginning. I also have one long term event in mind (eg my 30th birthday in June). You don't have to do this but I find it stops me giving up partway through a week. The other thing I try to remember is that it's ok to have 1…

I was bullied at school and I have to say that, even though I am almost 30 years old, I still struggle with the effects of it. Your story was a very brave thing to post and I am sure not easy given the gravity of what was done to you. It is always hard to hear (or read) what people are capable of doing to each other and…

You've inspired me! You look amazing and I think you should be super proud of what you have achieved...not just the weight loss but helping so many other people see that it can be done. Way to go! : )

Cinema Paradiso Little Women Marvin's Room UP (And loads more) but these are the ones I always think I will get away with and I weep EVERY time. Great movie moments for me. : )
