I started off with over 100 lbs to lose, and at this minute I'm 4 lbs off goal, it has taken me 3 1/2 years to get this far because I kept falling off the dieting wagon, most people lapse from time to time, my problem is I self sabotage lol, as soon as I see a goal in sight I lapse, yes I could have done it in half the…

My mums got a thyroid problem, I can't remember if it's over active, or under active, but I do know she finds it really difficult to lose weight, as has already been suggested, log everything for a month, if you are still having difficulties then go and see a gp and ask to be tested

Was going to post an almost identicle thread, I'm that sick and tired of my weight being the topic of conversation that I've started hiding in baggy clothes, ok I get that I've dropped nearly a 100 lbs ( reset my ticker to try and push me the final few lbs) and yes I get that some (not all) are well meaning, pat on the…

Jon Bon jovi I'd still run away with him now lol River Phoenix and johnny depp

Pmsl I can relate, I was sick of mine strutting about, looking down her nose at me because she's younger (by 10 years) and (thinks) she's gods gift, needless to say she isn't and is now putting weight on steadily after coming off a gluten free diet, karma lol I have an odd fear of ever being labelled a milf though (not…

I've done this many, many times and I have no excuse lol, throw whatever's left in the bin, and start a new day as normal, most people fall off the dieting wagon, don't beat yourself up about it x

I'm ashamed to say but I absolutely hate salad, the only salad vegetables I will eat are cucumber and onion lol, I agree though most low calorie recipes aren't good, have you ever heard of the hairy bikers? They did a show called the hairy dieters most of the recipes I have tried of theirs are lovely, especially the…

I got called baby elephant when I was around 5 years old, it's one of my first school memories, I also learnt to use my fists so nobody ridiculed me to my face, it wasn't a good or healthy way to live my younger years but sounds like I had it really good compared to you :cry: I spent my late teenage years and all my…

the heartbreak kid 3 years of forgiving him for cheating on me before i had enough, lead me to rebound with.... sleeping with the enemy

i'm close to my parents, but not my brother (his wife has made him shun all his family) i think my kids are really lucky because although they haven't got their uncle, they are lucky enough to have 2 great grandparents still around when some of their friends don't even have grandparents left, my mum and dad have a new…

omg what were you doing to get so dirty? i want to do it lol but seriously every word you said is true, we are our worst enemies, i think sometimes we get that focused on where we want to be, and the fact that we aren't there yet, that we do forget how far we've come i'm going to remember this post the next time i'm down…

^^this^^ i actually tried cutting bread out once in a misguided attempt at low carbing, it didn't work because all i could then think about was bread lol. unless you plan on never eating bread again, ever, don't bother giving it up

i've smoked for about 23 years (yeah i know i should stop but one thing at a time) i manage just fine, is it at all possible that your having a sort of panic attack? obviously not a full blown one, and thats why you can't last more than a couple of minutes. like others have said just try and add a minute on at a time, or…

it's not crazy, and totally do-able break the weight loss goal up into smaller chunks so it's less daunting if you have a bad day, start again the next, don't punish yourself for it measure yourself because the scales can be your worst enemy and above all even if the scales stop moving for a while keep going i've been…

i live in the fattest town in England according to the sun newspaper last year lol worksop nottinghamshire

^^this^^ and please remember that often we are our own worst judges, just go and enjoy yourself and try not to worry about what you look like, because while you may think you look terrible other people may think you look awesome :flowerforyou:

i'm 5'7, and when i was around 250lbs, i was burning about 700 cals per 60 mins on a static bike (according to hrm) so you should definitely be burning more than 600 i've lost most of my weight using walking as my main exercise, what i do is go out with my ipod, and try and step in time to the beat of the songs, the…

no idea lol, but i was a size 16-18 uk, and now i'm a 12-14 uk so definitely smaller :smile: which isn't bad considering i've been left school 21 years, and had 4 kids

^^this^^ you will have far better success if you learn to eat the foods you love in moderation, rather than giving them up completely

it depends on who it is, if it's my family i'm ok with it, my supportive friends i'm ok with, my "you've lost too much, you look ill" friends i hate them mentioning it as it makes me feel like rubbish, i also hate strangers or casual acquaintances mentioning it why is it socially acceptable for somebody to say "you've got…

running can be damaging to your knees, and i've definitely heard about people dying whilst running marathons etc, but (regarding the deaths) was there other underlying problems? newspapers always focus on it being caused by running. long term obesity is bad for the knees, and lets face it being overweight nobodys ever died…

classic case of trying to make you feel like crap for "starving" yourself, to make herself believe that her diet is better, and therefore making it ok that she ate the bagel/donut ignore and carry on your own way

@laurajane1990 i will swap you, i used to have a very sizeable round bum, but since i've lost weight it is completely flat, my mission this year is to actually grow a bum lol x i'd have to go with wrinkles :sad: i'm not ready to be old yet

don't forget marriage counselor, do you not know the answer to every spousal argument is divorce lol

thanks will try this x

got 4 kids at 3 different schools 1. How do you feel about your child's school? i think all 3 of the schools are excellent 2. How do you find out about the activities and decisions of your school? letters home, text messages, and really big things school meetings are held at various points during the day to try and insure…

no we have cordial/squash/dilute (not sure what americans would call it sorry) and all the sugar free ones seem to contain aspartame, and i'm trying to avoid it as it doesn't agree with me

yeah i'm in the uk, and things like crystal light and mio's aren't readily available other than through amazon and ebay thanks for the link though x

daft question whats mio's? even with a water filter our water still tastes lousy, it actually smells like a swimming pool it's that chlorinated, i don't see how adding fresh fruit and veg to water is buying into any crap though, as i'd already said i am purely looking for a way to naturally flavour water, not a magical cure

count me in x
