I was forced to drink full cream milk that was curdled when I was 5 - ever since then I can't bear to put it in my mouth let alone swallow... I just want to throw up thinking about it. I have several big phobias am working on them, not much luck so far but I thought this one might be a little easier to handle...

I am on a long journey too - feel free to add me and we can travel along together!!

Try and eat most/all of your calories and dink, drink, drink! Eat as clean as you can and keep moving!!

I was taken out for a meal and had EXACTLY what I wanted, to the tune of 2,000 calories. I upped my exercise for the next few days and BAM!!! lost 2 lbs and have been losing steadily ever since. I think the body needs a complete change once in a while to keep it working, lol.... not saying eating 2,000 calories is a good…

Picked this up from someone om here: "Sweat is fat crying" I love it!!!

Someone started this journey with me but so far has hardly lost anything. I get ignored when I mention weight loss so now I don't do it. We all have to make choices in life and just because nobody supports yours does not make it wrong. We could all do this alone but we choose to use this website to get the support that…

These used to be a way of sharing recipes, I have used other people's for the odd thing.....

I'm 64 and have been dieting on and off for the last 50 years..... I choose whatever keeps me going and this is by far the best site I have EVER found. I'm in with a real chance of finishing what I started and I'd be real upset if my partner said what yours does. I guess all you can do is prove how much you need this by…

I added you too, you are my kinda gal!! :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Tiny village in north eastern England called Sunnybrow... happy days!

All of the above - I know its hard but nothing good comes free - except walking!!!

I am about to join a gym for the first time in my life - not bad as I'm nearly 65. What makes it easier for me is what my mother used to say... 'I don't know them and they sure don't know me, they have no right to judge but even if they do I don't care!!' Nobody said this journey would be easy - but its worthwhile, thats…

I left my last job due to bullying and then my partner was emotionally abusive to me - I am currently attempting to organise accomodation so I can get out completely. This has left me bruised but not broken.... just hanging on. Finding someone to share this with is a great help..... here if you need me xx

I'm on a high today. 6 months in and I've lost 55lbs - still on track for losing 10lbs a month!! Add me if you like, I'm really glad to be on this site, losing weight and making friends!! Never give up, never surrender!!!

Awww, thanks for all your kind words - I am blown away!! I'm sticking to around 1100-1200 calories a day, and its working for me!! Its been a tough week, I am leaving my partner I just ain't told him yet. I need to get everything in place before I do it so my mind is not really on losing weight but I am still trying my…

It won't manufacture calories so it must be the same, surely?

Its working for me - but I do take a good multivitamin specially for my sex/age.....

My September goal is the same as all the other months - 10lbs weight loss. Oh and I wanna actually join a gym for the first time n my life!!

Mine are: Hydrophobia - fear of water Acrophobia - fear of heights (no, not vertigo, that's dizziness at heights) Makes my life hell, I can tell you. I never flew until my mid 50's, I love flying, scared of actually getting on a plane though!!

I got 4 hairs on one leg and 3 on the other....aren't I the lucky one???

I just stole a recipe for banana pancakes, it might be good for you if you can manage it....mash one banana and add to 2 beaten eggs, spoon mixture into a medium hot frying pan (a good non stick one means no oil/fat) and turn, eat while hot. It makes a really lovely change and its so quick and easy!! Good luck xxx

Well done with the weight loss - I'm in pretty much the same boat as you are. I am joining a gym and up till now my only exercise is walking, walking, walking. I am gonna have a go at everything in the gym and probably stick with the one I like the best to start with..... I do hope you find something that works for you!!…

I am just approaching 65 and cannot really remember but sweet rationing was still in place after the war. I can remember days when we didn't eat meat, and portions were smaller than now, we never ate snack foods and processed foods were now and again rather than weekly/daily. My mother worked but always cooked fresh and…

Well as I have only had one cheat meal in the past 6 months I am going to indulge myself Breakfast - full English with fried bread Lunch - Harry Ramsdens cod and chips with bread and butter Dinner - Duck with pancakes etc followed by Chicken in Lemon sauce, Beef in Black Bean Sauce and egg fried rice with Jasmine tea…

I lost about 8 lbs in my first 2 weeks of dieting, but if you look at the amount of weight I have to lose then its okay - I have slowed down and regularly lose 2lbs a week now which I want to be more but know it would be bad for me, I'm happy plodding along getting smaller and fitter by the day. Its a great feeling even if…

I had a cheat meal, just over 2,000 calories but then I spent the rest of the weekend walking and stayed in my calories every day - I never gained that week.....and it was worth it!! I needed the treat....

Read all of this and copied to friends also!! Its amazing how little information I had before reading it. Most enlightening and explains why, after eating a meal of 2,000 calories on a weekend break (high carb) I could walk up and down our hotel room while my partner showered and after increasing my walking for the week I…

Welcome to MFP, I dunno what PCOS is but I sure have over 100lbs still to lose - add me and I'll do what I can to encourage you!!

Nice choice!!
