There are 15 of us in our office and apart from 2 of us the others eat pretty unhealthily. They often bring food from home to share, which is mostly curry and usually swimming in oil. Sometimes pasta, but with a cream based sauce or pizza or instant noodles. However, these are actually the good days. Within walking…

I know I dont know you, but I am so proud of you! Wow, this is absolutely awesome. Having a sister who has had (and never totally beaten) an ED, I know how difficult it is to get over it. Well done, you are a winner!

^^^^^^ this I am also morbidly obese. Started off at 51 BMI, currently 43. I try for aquarobics 3-4 times a week. The great thing is that you can do it at your own pace, so you can start off slowly and then slowly increase as you get fitter. I can really feel how my strength has increased since I started. I also walk on…

I am definitely trying this! My mum does a similar thing in a pan for the whole family, but i doubt it is under 500 cals lol

Firstly, welcome to the group. I am sure you will find motivation here. I know what you mean about feeling tired in the evening. Some days are just draining. When I first started, I only used to do "exercise" in the weekend, but tried to increase my normal activities too. So, I would go to gym on Saturday and Sunday.…

Great to have you here, and good luck!

Cut back on calories for the rest of the day and get some exercise in today and tomorrow. After that ..... just hope for the best!

Here in South Africa, I have seen shakers which have an ice block inside them, either as a separate part or built into the plastic if that makes sense. you also get similar for cereal. They also have a separate compartmet for the powder. So you pop the ice block section in the freezer overnight. In the morning you put the…

When I worked in a paediatric unit we used to give the above diet (the BRAT diet, lol) to kids with diarrhoea, gastro enteritis etc until their stools had firmed up and then introduce other things. Personally, I would avoid them. I am not saying that they would constipate you on their own under normal circumstances, but if…

Eat under calorie goal for the rest of the week and do lots of exercise. Eat small portions of what I want to (in the case of a buffet style) or go for the least damaging thing there. I havent gained weight at a function yet. If you do fall apart, draw a line under it, move on and try not to beat yourself up about it. We…

We have frequent power failures, sometimes up to 10 days. The food that is in the freezer should be ok if the door has not been opened. By leaving the door closed you seal all the cold air in and it will stay cold. When the power comes on, just check if anything has started to soften. Last year our power was off for 2 days…

Our dogs name is Co. We used to have a dog named Dudley, when we got this one my sister called her Co. She said: "We made a company out of Dudley" ie Dudley and Co

I do aqua about 3 - 4 times a week at my gym. Our pool comes up to just below my breasts for me. I am about 5'4 I think (1.65m). There are a few people in our class who cannot swim. They just stand at the sides of the pool and hold on with 1 hand if necessary. From what I have noticed, they are nervous for the first few…

There have been studies which have proved that texting is more dangerous than driving drunk. Here in South Africa, if you are driving drunk and somebody is killed you get tried for murder.

Welcome! Sounds like a long journey you have had.

I have decided not to buy until I have to. I cant afford to keep buying new clothes anyway. One of my jeans is falling off and the other is loose, I have been wearing them with a belt. I did have to buy a new pair of pants the other day, but went to the sale section and managed to find something there. I do need a new…

Definitely period weight - I have gained up to 6 pounds and dont lose it till about a week later.

Around the 17lb mark somebody who didnt know I was trying told me. I had had a few prior to that at about 15 but that was from people at work who knew I was trying and were supporting me. Not that I didnt appreciate their comments, but I kind of felt they were just saying it to encourage me. They probably werent, just my…

Me too, feel free to add me

I dont always eat mine back, it really just depends. I refuse to eat if I am not hungry, or eat very high calorie foods just to make up a number. If I feel like something I will have it, if I don't I dont, so some days I will almost make my goal, others I am under. I lost 27lbs in about 10 weeks. I have been told that as I…
