Thank you for the supportive messages folks! This is my second favourite weight loss compliment! The first was a friend telling me that "the car shakes a lot less when you get in now". It's definitely a chore, but I know from experience that if I don't log, I "quiet quit". Having a record keeps me accountable, even if I…

Just the right attitude and 10lbs is a great loss so well done!

I get what you're talking about. It can feel like you're isolating yourself. There's not an easy way to solve that since the solution would have to affect the different personality types and opinions of a group. Instead try a change of tact! Earn some "brownie" points by bringing in some treats of your own for your…

In the real world being thin and attractive is one of the most important things in life. If you don't change your attitude to food and fitness now, before it's too late, you will be miserable.

21lbs in 2 weeks is great! Even if was because of a liquid diet, it shows your body was able to lose weight. So I'm wondering what your reasons were for the surgery? Were you simply looking to lose weight quickly or was it another health issue?

Thanks, that made me smile :) Might have to try almonds on my yoghurt now! Cheers. Hmm, hate to say it but I'm not sure. I'd like to think that my own experiences give me some understanding, but sometimes even now I am quick to judge others for their size, then I'll catch my reflection and think "you're one to talk!".…

Thanks everyone! :D

I love it! The US version anyway, us Brits don't do reality TV very well, it turns out TOO real lol. Plus Jillian Michaels cracks me up. TBL is one of my biggest inspirations. I'd never watched it before and was a bit skeptical but now I've found and seen every episode of every season online. I know that sounds extreme but…

Thanks for posting this. I'm doing okay but I need more MFP buddies with BIG goals. Adding everyone above. Ppl below please feel free to add me.

Great job, well done!

Daily weigh-ins! Sorry I'm not boosting your ego by congratulating you everyday for your 0.4lb losses...

Bananas!

Sounds like you are committed this time around, well done! 100 lbs is a big goal but if you can do it you will be a legend. No matter how much you lose by your birthday it will still be a big accomplishment, so be proud of it! -Just don't make the mistake I made after I lost 25lbs last year, that being rewarding myself…

I did the same until recently. Stopping cold turkey won't work, so here are 3 tips that helped get me off my cycle of stress binging: 1. Eat breakfast! Make it a filling one too. I have cereal with banana and it gives me energy for the day. Have a filling lunch too. 2. If you're still hungry or craving when you get home,…

Awesome! Doubt I'll be able to do it that quick but good to know it can be done.

Slow down Eeyore!

Likes pink!

most 'junk' has ingredients that will slow your metabolism even if you're hitting your goals. If you get a craving try finding substitutes for the worst things so you don't have to go cold turkey. Instead of crisps try popcorn, popchips or snakajacks etc, turkey instead of chicken and other meats, wholemeal instead of…

I'm starting with walking too. Actually went to the gym for the 1st time recently, didn't wear me out like I thought but I think it's too soon at the moment because it was so painful. Walking home from work burns 220 cals for me so I'm sticking with that until it becomes easy.

I did a little "I'm back" post on my wall. It doesn't go into too much detail but I'm not making excuses. Honestly I'm not in the same head space I was when I first started MFP over a year ago, but I want to get back there and straight talking people like you are probably a good thing to help me do that. So I'll add you if…

Well I haven't really put it to the test but i think it's true, if not because I'll get judged for being overweight, then because the fear of that happening is affecting my confidence to apply for the jobs I really want and probably would in those interviews too. It's one of the last forms of discrimination to not be made…

Very cool! I've just reached your starting weight so it's a good motivator to me that you managed to keep it up all the way to your goal! Any particular exercise that helped you?

Don't go cold turkey! I've failed miserably many times before I found mfp because of that. Find something similar to your favourite junk food that is healthier and get used to it then ween yoursself off it. e.g I did McCoys --> Quavers --> SnackaJacks --> Velvet Crunch

Well done! You really can see the difference and it sounds like you're dedicated so keep up the good work!

He's probably not cheating but it sounds like he has an issue with the relationship. He's a coward and for whatever reason he wants you to be the one who starts an argument over this or breaks it off so that he has an out. Considering your ages and that it's been since September, plus the fact that you got married quite…
