my mum and dad are far more computer savvy than me lol, but my mother and father in laws are useless, my mother in law goes on facebook and updates her status wishing happy birthday without putting persons name (i'm presuming she thinks it's going on the persons timeline but you never know) and apparently she hasn't found…

it's about double what i could manage at first so well done to you x see your not as bad as you think

this exactly,also, i used to work in a clothing factory that manufactured m&s knitwear, and it was notorious for sowing the wrong size labels in things, if it was caught before leaving the factory (which wasn't often) the jumpers were either shrunk or stretched on steam beds to fit the label, so if ever you've bought…

i no you said you dont want to be seen in public but.......could you perhaps walk? the reason i'm asking is when i was at my biggest, thats the only exercise i did, i went out in my normal clothing, listened to my ipod, and just walked for a while, the next day i'd walk a little further (or faster) by the time i was 50lb…

i'm same height as you and am losing on 1750 cals, as daft as it may sound upping your calories could help the only other thing i can suggest is doing other exercises, if you do the same thing all the time your body gets used to it (apparently) doing different levels of intensity on different days could also work ie gentle…

i pretty much maintained an obese weight throughout my late teens to late twenties, my average day consisted of chocolate or full english for breakfast, no lunch, more chocolate as a snack, huge home cooked meal or huge takeaway for dinner, finishing the day with a large bar of chocolate, probably 2-3 times a week also…

couple of days late but count me in :smile:

my scales lie lol, they were telling me i was losing weight but i didn't see it till i was 50lb down, but seriously i started losing the first week, it took about 7 months to be 50lbs down, other people started noticing after id lost about 20lbs, it just took me longer to catch on i just ate the calories it told me too…

as weird as it may be, the thing that triggers me to wreck my hard work is reaching a goal, i can fall off the healthy eating wagon for weeks on end and ultimately undo some of the hard work, i eat rubbish and stop exercising, i don't know why i do this, and i don't know how to stop it :sad: another thing that wrecks my…

^^this exactly^^ im pretty sure that taking longer (perhaps) to lose the weight, whilst still enjoying the food you love, is far healthier than denying yourself food you love while chanting the "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" rubbish, food is not the enemy, and while ever your kidding yourself with your lovely…

i used to suffer with my knees too, i started taking hyaluronic (sp) acid and it helped me can you walk ok? if so walking will help, or perhaps a static bike as well as squatting good luck x

you've got to stop looking at this as a diet, start looking at it as a learning curve, you need to eat foods that you like, and are going to be eating forever, otherwise the minute you stop "dieting" and start eating your normal foods, the weight will creep back on try making a list of all the foods that you like, both…

this, after reading the possible side effects i think id give these a miss even under supervision

this exactly i tried low carb last summer, and after 5 days i was actually sat on settee, crying that i wanted mashed potatoes, toast with real butter, and bowls and bowls of pasta, and just to clarify, i don't normally have huge amounts of any of those foods, low carb seems to work for some, for me it just made me…

i definitely look younger now (37) than i did in my mid 20's, a few wrinkles but compared to some people i went to school with i look great, the thing i was most scared of was my extra chins lol, had at least 2 spare, i thought they would either not go away, or leave saggy jowls, but its all gone back as it should be

i would love to lose 32lbs by november, for the last 2 years i have had the same goal, hit my ideal weight by november (my birthday) 2012 i was in great shape getting ready to hit my goal for the first time ever i wasn't going to be overweight, but then a load of family stuff happened and my weight loss stalled, so this…

83lb down and been told by a doctor that my skin will never shrink back, tummy tuck is the only way for me to get rid of it, that said i am 37 and had 4 kids, your still young so take it slowly and you may get lucky good luck x

ha ha beat me to it x

i have just estimated your info based on what you've told us into scoobys workshop http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/#projectedweightloss and according to that you should be on about 2778 calories a day, thats estimating that you eat 3 meals a day and are active 3-5 hours a week with moderate exercise, have a…

personally i weigh myself every day at the same time, i will explain my reason for doing this.... i have been dieting for a long time, and used to drive myself insane getting on and off the scales, the minute the scales went up i'd panic and hardly eat and exercise like a mad woman, needless to say it was not healthy, was…

No, and to top that off nicely, i honestly don't see myself like other people see me, i look in the mirror and still see the morbidly obese person that i used to be, and i don't know if that will ever change:sad:

i attempted c25k 2 years ago and failed miserably lol, i ended up just running as much as i could then walking a bit, until i had done 5k (was training for race for life) this sites not bad http://www.fit2fat2fit.com/workouts if thats the sort of thing your looking for good luck x

i live in the uk, have always lived in the uk, and (hiding behind the chair waiting to get bashed for it lol) i love the American cup system, i joined a recipe site about 8 years ago, and most of the recipes have been posted by American people, i got fed up with having to constantly convert the recipes into grams or ounces…

Dexter by design, not my usual sort of book, but i only recently discovered the tv program Dexter, and now that it's finished i'm reading the books to compare, must admit i'm finding them entertaining and i'm getting through them at a fast rate i'm also currently reading Nicholas St North to my son, and i'm finding that…

go to this site http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ it will give you a far more acurate calorie goal, 1200 will make you miserable long term

the only exercise i have done consistently is walking, so what i advise to you is join endomondo, it's a free sports tracker i use it to track my miles, you can either do it on certain phones via gps (although not always accurate it once said id walked 289 miles in 42 mins and was stood in the middle of the north sea lol)…

i'm the same, except we got married 15 months after he proposed, and only been married 8 years so far :smile: i was very reluctant as i'd already done the whole marriage thing (married at a young age for all the wrong reasons and lasted barely a year) but decided to go for it and never looked back

it's from november 2011 so a little bit out of date lol, but it is my favorite pic of me and my youngest (i actually hate having photos taken) it was taken on her's and my youngest sons first trip to disneyland paris so really happy memories i've probably lost around 50lb since the picture was actually taken, but i just…
