Hey, I'm back again after a few months off (initially due to to some stuff going on in my personal life, but then it just spiraled and I've gained loads!), and I'd really like to go for 36lb by Christmas... I'm not totally sure it's doable, but I'd like to aim for it! If I have a good loss this week I think it will be…

When I was at work and a patient ran off (I'm a nurse), as I ran after him my trousers fell down. That's when I knew it was time to get some new clothes!

I'm in Hampshire (Farnborough) but right next to the Surrey border if that's any good? I need to stay on track too, I get so distracted at times lol. xx

Making these today but with spinach and prawns instead of chicken... can't wait to see how they turn out!

We're on a pretty tight budget, and to save on calories (and cost) I bulk out a lot of things with mushrooms or vegetables. I try and make at least half my plate veggies, and always use lean meats. Also, making massive amounts and portioning it all to go in the freezer out is great for those days when you just can't be…

I lived with my best friend and was 231lb, we just ate for entertainment! Skip breakfast, have a massive lunch (something like a curry with rice and then chocolate too!), snacks through the day, then at night we would either have takeout (and massive amounts) or loads of pasta with loads of cheese. After that I'd probably…

58 for me, but I'm having a bad week or two. I don't appreciate a website asking me a few questions and then diagnosing me with BDD, bit over the top! I don't have a disorder, I'm just extremely aware of the things I don't like about my body, and I feel self concious about them. I do have issues with my self esteem, and a…

It's lovely to see someone being so honest, and I think it's something most of us can identify with. I think we've all at one point thought "oh, I don't need to work out, my job is physical", I know I have! I've convinced myself so many times that it's ok to have takeout because I walked around shopping that day. And those…

Age : 23 Height : 5'5 SW : 231 CW : 199 (finally in the 100's, about time!) GW : 133 (it may go up or down as I get closer and see how I feel about my body then)

I've just got under 200 for the first time ever, and I know that if I have one day where I eat high sodium or a significant amount over my target I gain up to 5lb, but so long as I have a lot of water and stick to my target calories after this it drops back down in around 4 days, then continues to drop. I'd recommend using…

I'm a G, but damn it's nice when you take it off. If I'm wearing "proper" clothes, I wear it, pyjamas/lazy clothes, no way. Unless we have company!

I started with 98lb to go (I've genuinely been considering rounding it up, 100lb sounds much more like an achievement!) and now I've lost 28lb, so 70 to go! Height: 5'5 SW: 231 lb CW: 202 lb GW: 133 lb I'm so close to the 100's that I'm getting a bit obsessed with the scales, I'm actually down to 201 lb but I only log it…

People think I'm Irish until I speak! I'm half English half Welsh but I have pale skin, dark hair and blue eyes, so it's understandable. I'm from Newcastle so I have a pretty distinctive accent which clears up any confusion.

My friend gave me a taste of hers when she was raving about how amazing they are, I nearly threw up in my mouth a little

March 2014 for me, wanting to be at/near goal in October to pick out a dress though!

I'm on 1200 on doctors advice and monitoring, however I agree that it's not right for most people. I will be gradually upping it once I hit healthier BMI's, and that will be with my doctors support as well. My advice is if you can eat more, then go for it, and don't eat low unless your doctor has advised it. If you're…

I'm on 1200 a day, but I want to point out that I am one of the exceptions, and I'm only on such a low number on doctors advice and monitoring. I'm planning on upping my calories gradually as my BMI gets healthier, again with support from my doctor. Basically, the doctor assessed that it was better for me to lose quickly…

My advice is go for it, you're only going to be 21 once! I log mine on the notes in my phone if that helps, then log them on here when I can get on. If I forget one or two... well, I think I don't really care by that point! :wink:

I'm thinking of hiding the scales from Friday for 2 weeks. The thought of hiding them for a whole month is a bit scary for me, so I'm going to start smaller! I weigh myself every day, and the number seems to set my mood for the day. I'm getting my fiance to hide them, I'm much shorter than him so he can hide them high up…

I did slimfast for a while, basically it's just a way of controlling your calories, and I decided I'd prefer to do that through eating what I wanted instead of the shakes. I really like food, hence needing to lose weight. I will say this, and it's not just me because I know a lot of people who have tried it... slimfast has…

I have been doing strength training as well as cardio, so maybe that has something to do with it! I'm just really happy with how it's gone so far. People keep messaging me asking how I've done it. Literally, counting calories, reducing sodium, avoiding processed food (but not all the time, I am only human!) and exercise.…

Thanks guys, the shoes were a gift from my fiances mother :smile:

Step away from the cake and that innapropriate boy!

I think the spa day idea is fantastic, particularly if she's at home with the children! Also, what about getting a babysitter and paying for her and her best friend to go out for dinner? If she's at home with the kids while you're away, I bet she's craving some time with adults! (That was not meant to sound as weird as it…

A 2 year old holding their pet guinea pig for me!

Challenge start weight: 211lb Week 1: 207lb (-4lb) Week: 205.2lb (-1.8) Total loss of 5.8lb, My goal for the challenge is 199.9 (literally, happy if I see something that starts with 1!) so I've got at least 5.3lb to go. This is feeling more manageable now!

I've got around 75lb left to go! Feel free to add me :smile:

I think that's a really good question, not a clue what the answer will be, but I'm here to find out!

I've had an encouraging week this week, 4lb down (not sure how!) Challenge SW: 211 Week 1: 207 8lb to go til I hit my goal for the challenge off 199lb :smile:

Doesn't bother me :smile: Maybe post that as an idea on skinnyo challenge, then if anyone disagrees with it we can think of something else? We're all (I'm presuming) using user names that aren't our real names, and if anyone is really self conscious about it they could always put a different name that isn't identifiable as…
