  • Hey! I'm from Scotland too :)
  • Lol I've not heard it it called that before! Well done and I agree that's not a small nsv it's a fantastic achievement
  • Nobody is forcing you to stay here, now thats not me telling you to go but it's your own decision. Personally even if I get to maintaing my weight I'd like to think I would still be on here, it keeps me accountable. Perhaps recording measurements may be more suited to you rather than the scales which as I'm sure you know…
  • Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Soup, its delicious. I'm not a fan of too much spice so I added smoked paprika, used fresh chopped tomatoes (just didnt add as much stock) and I missed out the sherry vinegar. Thats the thing I love about soup is that you can change recipes to suit your own tastes.…
  • I have discovered tv is much less entertaining now that I've stopped eating as much in front of it. I have been trying to rent DVDs that I've never seen, it keeps me focused a bit more. Making your own popcorn is a great snack that has a crunch I sometimes have a glass of crushed ice. Your idea of keeping busy is great but…
  • You are definitely not alone in this battle and even people with a little more or a little less to lose I feel that everyone has their own struggles. This site is fantastic to gain support and advice even if you just spend all your time reading sucess stories the people here are so inspiring! The app is good too if you…
  • Good to see you here! Good Luck c:

Personally when I worked out the calories in just three pieces I was a little shocked but I find it more satasfying and eat it slower,…
  • Scotland here too, closer to Glasgow but still super windy!
  • Hey! I'm glad you have decided to start the first step is always difficult and making excuses for myself held me back I keep thinking if I had just stuck to things 'x' years ago I'd be at goal or close to it, however time will pass whether I do it or not so might as well give it a shot! As for eating try to be mindfully…
  • Hey there! I too have used weight watchers but I really didnt like that my weigh-in day was a Monday night so it got me into a really bad mindset and habbits on hardly eating during the day ect. MFP is a lot better for me, I am finaly being honest with what I eat and its a great group of supportive people who are there…
  • Photographs for longer term motivation. You could try challenge yourself each day/week to cook a new healthy recipe using a vegetable or ingredient you don't use eg. I didn't like spinach but now I love it as an ingredient and I have made spinach and turkey burgers and today I plan to make a spinach bread. I have tumblr…
  • You aren't going to like this but weight loss takes time and it takes longer the closer you are to goal. Perhaps you can try strength training to tone your body and I always remind my self that the weight didn't come on overnight so I shouldn't expect to lose it overnight. You havent given any info about the types of…
  • Adding you both :)
  • Hey there, I'm here for the long road ahead, its getting less and less scary with each day :p I am 5'7 but have alot more than you to lose at the moment I'm 305lb and started at 328lbs at the beginning of December.
