WOWWW!! That's a massive loss - very well done. Keep the picture of the slim you in your head - it helps keep you focussed. And don't worry about those small slip ups coz that's all they are compared to how far you've come. You're nearly there....... NICE ONE.

Hiya, personally I think you're doing okay - that's about 1lb per week which is the recommended amount. However I asked my Doctor once HOW do my antidepressants cause me to gain weight and he said that they stimulate my appetite. I'm still on antidepressants and I've lost a reasonable amount of weight, so I figure it is…

I've read that if you eat below 1200 cals your body struggles to operate properly and will use muscle to give it the energy to survive. When you eat too few calories and the body reacts in this way, you actually put on weight or at the very least to stop losing weight. This could explain why you can't go any lower. It…

ABSOLUTELY!!! I'm not an overly self-confident person but I am sick of trying to be what I'm not and do what other people think I should. And now that I'm a lot lighter I've decided to dress in what I feel comfortable in. Coz if you feel great, then you're gonna look great!! Most times I'm successful at it, other times the…

Hi, I live in NZ so I'm not sure if I'd be eligible for this challenge, however I would be very keen to have some type of structure around me for the last 34 kg of my journey. I've already lost 40 kg over this past 3 1/2 years but I've been struggling a bit since about February of this year.. I have had depression for what…

I hear where ur coming from - I am on medication to keep my depression under control, but honestly it seems like it's sitting on my shoulder most days at the moment. For me it's really hard to stay focused on the how to lose weight but I'm pretty good at the why and the future. The trick I've found is to focus on the…

I am so happy for u. Ur legs appear slimmer at the top as well! YAYYYYYYY u. Remember to take photos and compare - ur right it really does help. My adult son wondered who was in the photo in the red top with his Dad LOL. He did a double take when I told him it was me LOL. I've dined on that for months (figuratively…

The key - we are all different! My recommendation is that if your doctor feels that you NEED antidepressants, take them remembering that they can take up to 6 to 8 weeks to kick in. And most importantly start seeing a counselor so that you can find answers for all those unanswered questions stored in your head. You will…

As a family our income is quite low so I'm very careful when I buy clothes. I recently bought a really nice jacket which sits on my shoulders and does up, however I think the button does sob under the strain a bit. I am going to lose another 30 to 34 kilos (66lb to 75lb) but even when I was at my goal weight all those…

I'm 5' 8.5" and 1/2inch taller than my hubby. I wore high heeled shoes until I messed my back up and he was super fine with the heel thing - it was stupidly me that had the problem. We have two children - Stacey reckons she's the same height as her dad and our son Devon is around 6' 5". Stacey's hubby is possibly about an…

Perhaps not. I found prior to watching the programme that if I ate a piece of cake or a biscuit or similar twice a day I was better able to stick to my eating plan. When I became less disciplined with the sweet stuff, instead of sticking to my eating plan I started binging on cakes and lollies. I'm still trying to get this…

Dr Oz discussed this same thing on one of his programmes a few months back (viewed in NZ). He talked about our SWEET TOOTH (of which I have one) and how it is ONLY satisfied by the intake of sugar. So when we guzzle down cans and cans of sugar-free soda which tastes sweet, our Sweet Tooth is in no way satisfied as there is…

Hiya. You mentioned mucus. Does it drip down the back of ur throat? I had this for years and decided that the mucus may be too thick so therefore I tried drinking more water. AND IT WORKED! If u do suffer with this problem and u need instant relief, suck on a cough lozenge - my previous doctor suggested this. He said it…

[/quote] totally unhealthy .. You only have five meals. Everyone knows to avoid starvation mode you need 24 meals spaced out at exact one hour intervals... [/quote] Oh I get it now. So when I go to work I take a big bag of apples with me to cover the 8 hours and then I'm so full that I'll just have a snack for dinner. And…

I HATE that D word, all it means is that u lose some weight, you will put it all back on plus some. No more of them for me. Now I eat food and drink liquid, but this time I'm aware of what goes past my lips.. Oh and I laugh lots at life, coz it is what it is and what's the point of being too serious. Oh and did I mention…

Hi, I'm another proud Kiwi and I've been on this site for just over one year. The foods I buy here in NZ have either Kilojoules and calories written on the package OR Kcal which I expect is the metric equivalent of calories. I work my food diary in calories as it's much easier for me to understand, and I calculate my…

I am waiting until I reach my goal weight before I buy some gorgeous matching bras and knickers sets. In the meantime I bought a pack of 3 bras (the teeshirt type) but these ones have cup inserts. I bought them when I was quite a bit bigger than I am now and the wierdest thing is they fit as snuggly today as they did back…

Some will say yes, some will say no but at the end of the day I think the decision lies within yourself. I suggest you do a search on "phenylalanine". Some say that it is really bad for you - in fact I know of someone who was getting heaps of headaches then on the suggestion of her Doctor, she stopped drinking the diet…
