Been there and done that.... :0( below the waist is always the last place I loose it from... so the pants are a nightmare for me. I go flat chested, thin faced and small waisted.... then ,, and only then does it start to come off my rear end and thighs. People keep telling me I look a size UK12..... I tell them look down…

I read something too ages ago... if my memory serves me right ( and I'm sure someone will put it right if I am wrong) its something to do with low blood sugar making you crave carbs. .. hence the biscuits, bread , chips etc. I also personally think that it is also habit... sit in front of telly and pick whilst…

My Red Herring pencil style dress size 14. Worn once and I absolutely love it.

1 day of stuffing your face does not make you a bad person nor does it make you gain weight.... constantly stuffing your face will put the weight back on.... but not one day. You will probably find that you weigh more tomorrow because of the fluid retention due to the additives in the food.... back on the wagon and the…

Yep it got my attention !!!! I'm not and never have been grossly over weight but ever since I had my first child I have always had to keep a close eye on my weight because I have discovered that it can get out of control far too easily. After years and years trying every conceivable diet on and off the market I have now…

Take a break..... it sounds like you have over done it a bit and your body is saying it needs a rest. Sometimes I think we loose track of exactly how much we put our bodies thru and this is their way of telling us. 4 years ago the same happened to me and I took 2 weeks off ( hard thing to do I know, I pretended I was on…

Yes with certain foods... carbs being the main one and salt. Drives me crazy ..... I drink loads of water but nothing seems to help apart from watching my carb and salt intake.

61 in a couple of months on here most days. add me if you want. Hope you have a good journey to your weight loss. :flowerforyou:

Hello and welcome..... this is a good place to be to make friends and loose the pounds. Add me if you want.... I'm in UK and have about another 20lbs to loose, but I'm in no great rush. Have a great day. :flowerforyou:

My sister has the same problem.... she is on 32 tablets a day some of them Steroids because she had a kidney transplant 25 years ago. She then developed Diabetes and Osteoporosis.. She used to be a size UK 8 she is now a UK 28. She hates her weight and lives on approx 1200 calories a day as directed by her dietitian, but…

^^^^Sunderland ?... your A MACKEM !!!!..... I live near a Welsh Town that has a Rugby Team named after a fish eating bird.

Hi Sue.... All of the reply's are true.... this you can do... little by little, bit by bit. No quick fixes ... no dropping 10 kilos in a couple of days..... just like a baby learning to walk make this life style change.... go from sitting still to crawling, then walking, then jogging and eventually you will be running...…

I'm an early riser so my breakfast is usually about 7;30am which is usually about an hour after I have got up... I then go to the gym about 9 ish. Much as I love the gym I like to get it out of the way for the day

2 large eggs scrambled or Porridge with golden syrup are my usual choices. Both of these keep me feeling full till lunch time.

Hello there :0) Skinny mini till I had my 2 boys then it escalated year by year. Joined WW and lost 3 stone... put it all back on over a 5 year period and could not be bothered to loose it again. my 50's arrived and once again I lost 3 stone this time thru SW. All back on again.... this time I could not understand why as I…

Well done the 2 of you... may it long continue.:happy: xx ... this was meant for the 2 ladies with purging issues.... goodness knows why it has come as a separate post !!!

Not only can I fit in in my clothes comfortably ... but I can now walk at a decent pace without getting out of breath. :0).... the health benefits out weigh the loss in kilos.... however I am loving my new shape.

MFP is not the only organisation that says you must eat your calories back...SW and WW also advocate it. The way I work it for maintenance is to add100 calories each day for a week and see how it goes... if still loosing add another 100 etc till you level out within a pound or so. It's not easy ( if it was I would not be…

Thank you everyone you have been a great help... Happy Fitness !!!:happy:

SHBoss.... thank you for that bit of knowledge... I would have panicked if I had got a gain and not known why... now I will relax thru it if it happens. :smile: Love my HRM don't quite know how I managed with out it. I did think about adding my own excercises...but wasn't sure where to add them... will stick them in Cardio…

Thank you both. Yes at the end I really have to push to get the last reps out. I will try adding an extra 75 cal on my work out days to see if it levels off. Must admit I love doing the routines even if I am shattered at the end... really does give me a boost. :0)

I plan 1 day off per 7 and do not in anyway feel guilty.... if I did not have my day off I would just crave for foods that I love but are very fattening. OK for 2 days max afterwards I am a pound or so heavier before my day off... but straight back on my plan and within 2 days I am usually below the weight I was before the…
