Cool I thought I was going mad. he he

This is US sizes right?

I am a bit taller at 5ft 6in, 166lb and I need at least a size 16(uk)

Strangely I have been a size 5 U.K. most of my adult life, however since gaining weight I am now a 4. Maybe it is an age thing, not really sure lol

Is this the same here in the U.K.?

Really! am I missing something?

All I see is a cute dog!

I think you misunderstood, when I said maybe this s me I meant maybe I am just meant to be overweight, you know when you think sod it if I am fat then so what. Of cousre I am not happy with myself I need to lose 20lb

Thank you everyone. I have taken a lot of encouragment from this thread and already feel better.

So you eat protein shakes instead of meals. then eat a meal in the evening yes?

Maybe just for some support eh!

[/quote] You wouldn't feel sick if you didn't eat so much chocolate all at once! LOL [/quote] Maybe this wine will settle my stomach ha ha

Oh but I feel sick lol. thank you for chearing me up

Sorry but I lost my baby 3 months ago so no I dont have anyone.

oooo sneaky but I like it. he he

Nooo thats not what I want to hear. Maybe the post was a pathetic cry for help

So I just a a fun size twix,time out,dairy milk and kit kat, and i dont even like milk chocolate I like the really dark 85% stuff. I have issues hear that need solving. Thank you all sooo much for your support.

oh I will thats for sure. just not ready yet though, i would like a good holiday first as we havent been away for the last 6 years because i couldnt bear to leave him

You know what i have just realised i do this every time i am on my own! my hubby has gone away for the weekend and here i go with the wine and binges. when he is home i am pretty good with what i eat but every thursday and teusday when he goes to run the locaL poker i binge.

please refer to one of my earlier posts

well I have just pigged on half a chicken, potatoe wedges and onion rings, wine also/. now i feel sick and worthless. thank you all for your support i do take it on board. I have saved a few of those motivational pics thanx. I started eating healthier a month ago and lost 4lb in the first week but nothing since, i have…

I just lost my baby three months ago. he was 16 and thats him in my pic. He used to be really good for excersise but the last few years he got slowere and slower. The last year was more sniffing than walking bless him, I am not ready yet to let another dog into my life, i think i am still grieving, sounds daft but i am

thank you all. i am going to sound really sad now but some of mentioned getting out and stuff but I dont have any freinds to do anything with.

I know you are all correct but I just feel like I am flogging a dead horse so to speak. I have tried every diet there is. i was 9-10 stone up untill 2009 and now i am 12, just cant seem to shift a lb, and i get really down and think sod it its not going to happen so what the hell

so why if i eat vlcd for a while and lose weight do i just put it all and more back on?

No but diet isnt always brill. most people have an unbalanced omega 6 to 3, and the micronutrients are important and not sure if i am doing well on those.

In fairness the link you provided to calculate my calorie needs is the highest out of all the calculations I have done, whether it is a calculator or I work the figures out myself to maintain my 166lbs I would look to be eating about 1700cals. So if I go by those other figures I eat 1600 per day I may not lose weoght this…

Cool , it just seems an awful lot of cals to be eating since I havent lost any on 1200. plus when I put my stats into MFP as sedentary it always comes up with 1700ish to maintain and most other calculators give me around 1700-1900 for weight mainenance. This is why with a deficit of 500cals I end up on 1200-1300

quote from link given "To lose fat, eat 10-12*[current bodyweight in lbs] kcal per day" so I weight 166lb x 10 = 1660 right However to maintain my weight it states " To maintain a bodyweight, try to eat about 14-15*[current bodyweight in lbs] kcal per day" so that would be 166 x 14 = 2324 to lose 1lb of fat I need a 500cal…
