I have suffered twice from this and first time I went through all the usual - tennis ball, frozen bottles, special inserts etc. However, the one thing that fixed it both times was Cortisone injections into my heal. This was an almost instant fix, I kid you not. Injections one day, not sore the next - absolutely amazing.…

Looking good.

Hi. I too have way too much too lose and need to do it sooner rather than later. I lost over 4 stone about 3 years ago with MFP but slowly but surely put it all back on again. So here I am trying again. 4 weeks in and I have lost nearly 11lbs. And here is how I do it - stick to the calories allocated. Be honest, very…

Hi. I'm in the same boat as you. Really needing to get back to it after losing a good amount and then putting on far too much over the summer. Add me and hopefully we will be able to offer each other the support that we need.

You look absolutely gorgeous now. That picture is amazing. I bet you are extremely proud of yourself. Well Done. Wish I was you.

You can add me. I have been doing this for a year now and have lost around 54lbs (give or take a few recently).

Hi. You can add me if you want.

Your weight loss is amazing. I can't believe you look so different. You must feel amazing. Well done.

I thought 45. I compared you to me and I am 41, I thought you looked a little older than me. Then I took a wee peek too - oops sorry. I am not good with ages at all.

I have had that. I went through many different "solutions" but what worked for me was the Cortisone shots. A shot in each heal. The shot wasn't too sore and it really fixed it. You would not believe the difference they had. Ask you doctor for the shots, they will make all the difference. Good luck.

You are totally amazing. Your current pictures look great. Well done you.

When you say you lap swim. Are you constantly at it for a whole hour? My kids swimming coach says swimming doesn't eat up that many calories. An hour of breastroke give 848 calories according to MFP but the swim coach says it more like half of that. To get what you got, you must have been doing frontcrawl or butterfly the…

What is spaghetti squash?

Do something active - go for a walk, do the ironing, clean the bathroom, do something rather than eat.

2 weeks ago I was the same, nothing lost. Then last week I lost 1 lb and then this week I lost 4lbs. I am not doing anything different. It all adds up over the month.

I weigh everyday but only log it on a Saturday. Yes, I think it makes me paranoid about weight loss but I don't care.

Hi. I had a wee sneaky peak at your food diary. You never seem to be eating your calories (and at times never anywhere near). I have read a lot about this "starvation mode" but am not very sure whether I believe it or not. But I reckon if you are not losing weight on what you are eating, then this could be the reason why.…

Is this your first week? I lost around 8lbs on my first week but now I find it hard to lose anymore than 1lb (if I am lucky).

Thanks everyone. Good to know it's not just me who thinks about these things. And yes, too much thinking is like too much hard work.

Hi, I'm from Glasgow. Add me if you like.

I can see why your "love life" has picked up :flowerforyou: . Your looks are amazing. :happy:

I have exact same problem. I am always over on my protein. Sorry I don't have any suggestions to lower it.

Your neck looks really fantastic now.

Hi, I am also about 1 month in - 4 weeks to be exact. I love the tracking aspect of this website. I hate to be "over" at the end of the day and would go out for a long walk if I thought that was going to happen. I am a lot heavier than you, I started at 220lbs and today I weighed in at 204lbs - 16 lbs in 4 weeks. I was…

Me too, always over on Protein but not the rest. I've only been doing this for 3 and a bit weeks and have lost 11lbs so far but not sure how it will go in the long run.

Well done and thanks for posting your pictures. They really show the weight loss and you look so much younger.

Book a holiday in the sun. I have booked my holiday to the Canaries in July. I WILL NOT look the same as I did last October. I look at the photos of my then in my shorts and nearly die with embarrassment. They are so bad. I don't need to be a size 10 but must be less than last year. That's my motivation.

I weigh every day but only log my weight on a Saturday morning. My weight fluctuates throughout the week, so I am only using my Saturday weigh in as my official one.

I have had a few M&S good for you microwave meals for lunch. Today I had a mushroom risotto and I think it was 340 calories and it was really yummy.
