I think its a no-win situation really (sorry, I did laugh at this as well!) Whatever you do is going to be the wrong thing I'm afraid! I think you need to have a chat with her and explain your feelings... maybe she could accompany you to the gym but do her own thing whilst you lift? A bit of a compromise? And just make it…

Celery with vegetable salsa. For those who like a low calorie snack but cant eat celery by itself.

When I was on Microgynon I gained loooooads of weight... or at least thats what I thought when it happened. In reality it was all the extra pizza I was consuming! I've been on the pill about 7 years, tried 3 different ones, I gained weight when I ate too much, lost it when I ate less, I am on Cerazette now and have had no…

Damn, I wish this tractor in front of me would go a bit slower, I'm in no rush!

The way I interpreted that post was that they were saying that people are not fluent like Brits, canadians etc... as in we can speak fluent English, so using Canadian as an example of an English speaking country...

Glad I'm not the only one who gets annoyed about this! But heaven forbid you display an actual opinion on ths site, what were you thinking!! :noway:

I cant wait to get rid of my huge calves which dont fit in knee high boots! Also my chest as it makes star-jumps very painful at zumba!

It depends on the building you work in as to whether you can do this, but on my lunch hour I go up and down the stairs 5 times! :smile: There are 4 floors so thats 20 flights and the same down as well, it really takes it out of me! A few others do it as well, we have a little club going!

I come from a big family and have 3 brothers who are all still in school... they dont understand diets really, they all got me an Easter Egg each, bless them! So after a Zumba session I usually have a bit of the egg to up my calories as I am usually netting quite low on those days and need to keep my calories up. I had…

I like it! Same here.

The first thing that I thought of is what a few others have said, sounds to me like he is worried that if you drop the weight you will ger more attention from males and is could be worried that you might leave him. But you will need to speak to him because if could be a number of things, maybe if the gym is "his thing" and…

I'm in the UK, death penalty always makes me think of back in the "olden days" when we used to chop peoples heads off for their religion etc, crime seems to be manageable here without the death penalty, if somebody does something particularly horrible then they will be put away for life with the judges recomendation that…

It wasnt as far away as yours, but I was in a long distance relationship, my boyfriend was about a 45 minute drive from me. Was absolutely fine, we are still together now, but my boyfriend lives with me now :smile: Both of us drive so what happened was that on a Friday evening or a Saturday morning one of us drives to the…

Mine and my boyfriend's relationship has seen good changes... even though he has openly admitted in the past that he prefers a larger lady he has since told me that he loves me for who I am and if losing weight makes me happy and I feel better about myself then he is behind me all the way. I was suspicious at first,…

I still party!! I dont smoke anyway, but I still go out... I have compromised by cutting out wine and lager and trying to drink vodka and gin instead, and instead of having a pizza or chips on the way home I try and make sure I have some healthy snacks to munch on when I get back home! If I know I am having a big night out…

I'm from York (in England) and because its in Yorkshire people seem to think that we all wear flat caps and say "eeee by gum" and all live on farms and drive tractors. Either that, or people think you are really really common and live in a hovel... York is one of the poshest places to live in the country! The other…

BMR - 1952 Calorie Goal - 1450 to lose 2 pounds a week I am nearly always under my goal but if my net is too low from a lot of exercise I usually have some chocolate to get rid of the cravings and keep my calorie intake at a healthy level.

Love that fact that this is a 12 week challenge, like having something to work to. Name/ real name: Pineapple1989/Emma Current Weight: 254 Challenge Goal Weight: 240 (may readjust in a month or so if I start to reach this too fast) 04/09: 04/16: 04/23: 04/30: 05/07: <<<250>>> 05/14: 05/21: 05/28: 06/04: <<<245>>> 06/11:…

I think it would be a toss up between 2: My workmate saying to me "wow you're so tall, if you lost a few stone maybe you could be a model!" Talk about the ultimate back-handed compliment! She also said to me just before I started dieting "you would probably be quite pretty if you lost weight" Or my friend who used to be…

I have an amazing Thorntons Premium egg that comes with a miniature box of chocolates... its calling out to me!! I have 3 little brothers as well and I know they have all got me an easter egg as well! I am just going to have to be good and eat it a little bit at a time, I did quite well over Christmas, I still have some…

... when its a Friday afternoon and your boss's boss's boss walks past and says hello... as you're filing your nails. ... or when the same boss's boss's boss walks past and says "my god, what the hell have you done to your hair?!" OK so it wasnt MY fault that my friend put supposed wash in wash out blue hairspray in my…

It was a few little moments for me: Firstly, for some reason I have a hard time seeing my own weight but can see others, I knew my boyfriend was seriously obese and I worried for him... one day he weighed himself and then I weighed myself... I was about 15lbs heavier than him. Oops. That taught me a big lesson. Granted, I…

If you are on a calorie counting diet then you need to count EVERYTHING that you eat, even things with practically nothing in them. If you dont want to do this then perhaps Weightwatchers or Slimming World would be a more suitable diet? Everybody is different and work different ways but if your calorie counting then its…

I am getting a pineapple on my hip or back when I get to my goal weight (or when I am happy with my size) its a long story about the pineapple... but basically its not to do with the weightloss as such, but I never got one as I wanted it on my hip but would be too self conscious to show it to people. I am also toying with…

I saw the film on Friday, havent read the book yet... I am hoping they left lots of info out of the film otherwise it makes no sense! Film was good, but not as good as I thought it was going to be based on how people had raved about it. Worth a watch I thought, quite predictable, but then I dont think that it was meant to…

Thats great, shows your attitude to food has completely changed! My weekend NSV was fitting into a pair of UK size 18 skinny jeans, I have a few size 18's but these never fit as they are a "small" size 18, but I wore them this weekend for the first time so hopefully not long until I am a size 16! Wahoo! Started out a size…

Sometimes I can get to the end of the day and realise I've only had 900 calories... I have a busy, stressful job and I take a packed lunch and have porridge for breakfast. If I am busy I wont remember to snack, so if I have had quite a low calorie dinner when I come to log it I realise that I still need to have about 600…

I dont tend to not put things at all... but sometimes if I am a bit short of calories I might manipulate the entries, for instance, if I had some tomato soup at a cafe I would type in tomato soup and pick one of the lower calorie options even though I know it was probably more... I only do it occasionally, but I am only…

I can identify with you on this. I am 5' 10" and even when I had a flat tummy I was a UK size 12, I went from kids clothes straight into 12's... I just have to accept the fact that I will never be a tiny petite person no matter how much I lose. There are advantages to being tall though, clothes generally look a lot better…

I cant give up white bread. I've tried brown but I just cant get on with it! I just... cant. So the white bread is staying, I have compromised and buy Weightwatchers white bread which at least reduces all the bad stuff in it a little :smile:
