if you don't already start tracking sodium on your food diary, it's an eye opener, if you are having lots of salt drink plenty of water to flush it out, how often are you weighing yourself?

^this, i "played" at wanting to lose weight for so long and always failed, why, because i didn't want it enough, your mum is right, you may lose weight, but until you are ready to jump in with both feet it won't work for you

i'm not trying to be mean so please don't take this the wrong way but.... you are setting yourself up to fail, 50+ lbs in 6 months when you are unwilling to exercise, and you want ideas to make it go faster is just not do-able, even if you managed to get over half way the last 10-15lbs will take longer to come off than the…

i've got a couple of before pictures that my mum took without my knowledge, but other than that i've only got pics that somebody else takes unexpectedly, i have taken them in the past and immediately deleted them, i hate having my pic taken

welcome to the black parade my chemical romance

i've got dodgy knees anyway from an old car accident plus years of being obese took there toll, i can do 30 day shred sometimes and be ok, others it kills my knees and i have to rest for a week or more, i've recently been doing bootcamp sessions, and the trainer suggested as an alternative to jumping jacks was stepping out…

i've tried all the ones i previously listed and loads i can't remember over a 20 year period, to sum it up i was fat, wanted a miracle cure because i didn't actually want to put the hard work in and didn't want to change my eating habits, it was pure laziness on my part, i'm educated now but still a constant battle to stop…

i use endomondo both on my phone and online i'm stuck with a blackberry curve for at least another year and it doesn't seem to have many really good fitness apps

i no exactly how you feel :cry: i go clothes shopping and pick bigger sizes up because the size that i am couldn't possibly fit me, i was that scared that i was going to regain all my weight, that i kept all my bigger clothes for over 2 years i was a higher weight than you was when i started and had far more confidence at…

you've not got that much weight to lose and your young so you may get lucky, me personally after losing about 40lbs it started to go off my boobs, ive gone from 42 f to a more respectable 36 d, and (considering my age plus breat fed 4 kids) they look less saggy now

i'm never going to have a flat stomach without surgery (excess skin), i've had this confirmed by my gp, and i'm ok with it, perhaps if i was younger and wanted to be showing my stomach off or we go on holiday to places where i'd want to wear a bikini then it might have bothered me more, i can somewhat hide my stomach, i'm…

sweat is just fat crying

Disneyland Paris, sat on the studio tram tour in the studio park

also supposed to be good for cold sores, taken internally 2-3 times a day and rubbed on the cold sore i;ve tried lots and i mean lots of diets and supplements over the years....... slim fast, green tea, green coffee bean, goji berries, hoodia, cabbage soup diet, cayenne pepper supplements, loads of diet pills that are…

i can totally relate but...... i have tried every diet going over a 20 year period, every time i came off the diet i gained the weight back and then some, i started mfp january 2012 and lost 87 lbs, but as usual i got fed up of dieting so stopped counting calories and logging, a year later i had only gained 12 lbs back and…

i used to drive myself insane with weight fluctuations, what i did was get a phone app and weigh in every day, over the month you get an average weight, i now tend to look at that more than a daily/weekly loss, if you did this it might also help you pinpoint when and why your weight is spiking, although as somebody has…

family gatherings, out of 23 people i was by a mile the fattest, i was sick of the embarrassment

i've got a stomach bug so i'm pretty sure i'm empty lol but put 1 lb on since yesterday morning, bearing in mind i only had 2 slices of toast with 2 eggs for dinner yesterday, god knows what thats all about hope your feeling better soon x

i did something similar, when i had lost 20 lbs i carried my youngest around to see how long i'd last, was just over 20 mins before my back was on fire, when i'd lost 35 lbs i did the same with my second youngest, i didn't even last 10 mins, when i'd lost 60 lbs i tried carrying both of them (they had both put weight on…

i'm probably going to be lucky hitting 500 cals today, and i'm not going to even attempt to get any extra in, but to be fair i have been up all night with a stomach bug, seems to have run it's course but i'm not going to risk overloading my system just in case, nice bowl of leek and potato soup later and that might be it.…

i regularly do 1 mile in under 16 mins, it's called the school run when i'm running late lol and it's mainly up hill i use endomondo as a rough guide to how far i've walked (not always as accurate as it should be, once placed me in the middle of the north sea after walking 119 miles in 20 mins) and what pace i have kept,…

set realistic milestone goals, having a lot of weight to lose in one go is daunting, smaller achievable goals breaks it up and before you no it you've reached your target

because you are choosing to eat healthier and exercise, you are making your friend feel guilt that she isn't doing the same, it is pure and simple jealousy, believe me i've had more or less the exact same thing my best friend. she quite often told me i'd lost enough weight and should stop now, when that didn't work she…

i only like it on pulled pork sandwiches, and if you'd ever had the apple sauce they used to feed us with school dinners you'd never eat it again, traumatized me for life lol

NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm sorry having a hard time excepting that you ate 2.2lbs of pork with apple sauce, APPLE SAUCE yuck yuck yuck lol now if you'd have said pulled pork with bbg sauce or sour cream i'd have been drooling you enjoyed it, put it behind you, carry on as normal good luck x

my best friend from the age of 2 is a male, we have never had any sort of sexual relationship, never thought about each other in that way, we have been friends coming up to 35 years now, and can't see it changing :smile:

morning from nottinghamshire, lovely sunny day (for now) up here, hope your weathers improved and you've not been affected by the flooding x if your wise with your calories there is no need to cut out the foods you love, i lost 80lbs and ate chocolate (normal uk standard bar) everyday, i also managed to maintain that…

thank you x

i lost a lot of hair when i cut my calories to 1200 and below (pre mfp) yeah i lost the weight (about 50lbs), but wasn't worth it, took about 6 months for it to stop, now nearly 3 years on my hair is almost back to normal, although a lot shorter if your worried go to see a doctor just to rule out other causes, if it is…

^this^ plus making sure i'm eating enough calories
