Keep in touch with us, add me as a friend if you want to, we can be like your "online family". In the midst of all the crap you have to live with and that is some major crap where I can only imagine how hard it must be, YOU ARE A SUCCESS. Do you know why? Because you're still strong. You are dealing with the depression and…

yes please feel free to add me

The plateau from hell, I can so relate to that. Love your determination and with that strong az attitude of yours, I'm sure you will WIN! :wink:

What everyone has said in here and yes, you need to get out of there as soon as possible! Do you have supportive friends? Or extended family? My partner came from an abusive childhood, he couldn't wait to get out, left at 16. First he went farming and then joined the Army and created a new family for himself. They are…

hi riz, I'm new in here, how do I get to your blog, would love to see and try your Indian recipe .

I know how it feels. I am more comfortable now but I brought up three (hungry) sons on my own. Soup, soup and more soup. Stews with cheap cuts of meat. Two or three nights a week - dinners with no meat. Rice and veg and small amounts of fish (eat like the Asians).

I think we all get to the point where enough is enough and that's a good place to be in because once we make that decision, the commitment is strong. Well done!

Thanks for that, I'm still trying to be correct in my portions and yes it is hard to do this without scales, which are more accurate - digital or the normal food scales?

Eric I clicked the wrong button, der, done it now, changed my settings so everyone can see my diary and yes I did do my exercise today and thank you for your encouraging message.

I thought I had changed the settings for everyone to see my food diary, will try again

Yes add me if you want to, I need the support too

ooh sounds yum, could I have recipe please

Sunday chicken roast dinner, minus the roast potato and gravy, boiled pumpkin instead with heaps of salad, have to make up for the bacon & egg sandwich I had this morning for breakfast! with white bread, couldn't resist.

brazil nuts bananas eggs chicken breast Just to name a few

I admire your strength! Nicotine is my addiction and reading your story inspires me to quit even more, thank you

You look great and what you have achieved is amazing!

it is definitely helpful, motivating, inspiring

:smile: Me three! Brand new since yesterday! Good luck and welcome

Liked how you explained your story, some of which made me giggle. I'm not a runner too, I've always walked, I hate running, but you have just given me a new incentive, thank you! And congratulations on all your achievements!

Nice body, nice outfit, nice legs! Good for you girl! Well done! Amazing what a person can do when they set their mind to it :wink:

Yes the mind can be cruel. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

Metamucil, 15 mins before a meal (try it at home first, just in case!), also a good appetite suppresant.

Great story and pics. Congrats to you for a job well done. You look better than James Bond!

I do have sleeping problems and I agree, it definitely contributes to weight gain.

I think I would feel more crazy if I was still gaining the weight and aimlessly eating and not exercising and getting absolutely nowhere and feeling miserable. Your weight loss is amazing. People like you inspire me to keep doin it!

In Weight Watchers fruits and veg have no points - they are "free" foods & can be eaten freely, regardless of size - with a few exeptions like bananas and avocados.

You count your nuts lol

LOL

I was just thinking - maybe your body has come to a standstill because that is the weight it's supposed to be :wink:
