The other day I was about to order a burger (cheat meal!) and said 'I probably shouldn't' and went to shake my blubber on my stomach to emphasize my point. But it wasn't there! I definitely still think of myself as way bigger and flabbier than I am!

I did the same thing this week and SCREW the scale! I ran a total of 28k last week and lost nothing at all. But overall I've lost 8 inches in the last couple of month :D It's all about the tape measure....

It's taken YEARS for this to sink in but I've just started realising that eating bad makes me feel bad and eating well makes me feel well. It sounds so simple written down like that but I've been ignoring these signals for a long time!! I agree though - cheese is too good to just give up! Maybe drink a ton of water after…

I expect whoever shouted it wasn't even thinking, they were just making some dumb comment and didn't consider how that would affect you. It's really hard but try to rise above it. I was on a train once and a guy started talking to me, adn then his friend shouted 'why are you talking to that fat ugly girl'! To put this in…

I've been in love with Jon Bon Jovi since I was about 12. I guess he qualifies!

Hi! I'm a snacker too. Most people would advise going cold turkey on sweet stuff to let the cravings disappear. This probably is best, however, I personally find this impossible! I snack on either marshmallows or mini meringue nests (not the full size ones, just the tiny bitesized ones!) to satisfy my sweet tooth. A word…

Hi! Sorry if someone else has already suggested this - I only had time to skim read the comments - but I usually find that trying a whole new diet works. Cutting carbs is the most effective for me. Sometimes just a shock to the system does it. Worth a try! Or, and I don't know the details of why you want to get to your…

I'm looking at all these photos thinking that everyone looks great in their starting pictures, and then great-er in their after ones! There is nothing wrong with anyone in any of these photos but well done for getting healthier and happier. I'm not overweight but have definitely looked better in the past and I get told not…

I am on here because I'm currently having the opposite problem, am looking forward to feeling like you are! Well done :)

I think people are trying to put you off because they would love to be as motivated as you! My friend and I were 'diet buddies' for a while and if she lost loads of weight and I was having a bad week, I'd feel a bit jealous. However, I always tried to stay supportive as she was my friend and was doing well, and that's what…

Hi! I find that the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels is really good for toning. I noticed a difference in about 5 days, in particular on my arms, stomach and thighs, i.e. my problem areas! I got the DVD from play, it was really cheap. Hope that helps!

I love your posts, they're always so funny!

Team GB, Team GB!!

Hi! I might be totally wrong here, but I had a similar experience. but I looked back at the photos of me wearing those clothes before and the clothes as they fit when I'd lost weight and they looked much better after the weight loss. I'm just talking about myself here, but I think I may have been squeezing myself into the…

You can really see the difference, well done! i heart Jillian, she's amazing. Keep it up!

I get the exact same thing. I'm not overweight but I have been slimmer and looked better before, and it's about how you feel. I get really wound up by people saying 'don't be boring' if I don't want a piece of cake or a drink. It's demotivated and it makes you feel pretty isolated! It makes it even harder to resist…

Well done, you look fantastic! I'm new to mfp and I have finally decided to measure my inches and stop weighing myself. Just the inspiration I needed! Congratulations!
