You look amazing,you should be so very proud of you achievment

Well done you! you look fantastic!

good luck on your journey, lots of people around to give encouragement and also help us on our down days x

I've chosen to follow my carbs allowance, or even eat under due to me being menopausal, doc says it can hold water more, so I have been doing that and it tends to be working so far...................I too get bloated if I eat too many of them, so I tend to eat my allowance [if I can] of protein as this fills me up for…

you look great! well done

I'm no expert, but I would say its the overall picture that counts x

I'm afraid with the excess weight I have lost so far I have began to wrinkle like an elphant lol My son who is 26 lost just over 10 stone, went to the gym all in the time toniing, weights etc etc but he still ended up paying for his skin excess to be removed. I cannot afford this. I have no idea how to manage that part.

what a difference, well done you!

You can get there, and still eat out, but choosing the lower options, but not every day! lol welcome aboard

I'm coming up to 55 this year, still plodding, and still loosing, you can do it, remember the tortoise, it got there in the end!

well done! best to loose it when young, good for you xx I didn't listen to anyone when I was younger and now I am 54 loosing weight, harder too.,,.....you will have your whole life in front of you, amazing, and cutie face too, I reckon you will be HOT and have all them boys falling at your feet, choose wisely *wink*

Please don't feel this is a 'diet' hop off, hop on, its a lifestyle change. Make small changes. Don't deny yourself anything and most of all...........................use all your calories! or you won't stick to it. Saving calories will only make you feel more open to temptation when it happens, believe me I have been…

I have a husband, 2 grown kids at home, one already lost 10 stone and on here [xortion] and Jess daughter also on here [jessicaward19] I am on meds too, and going thru the menopause, but it can be done, honest. You just have to watch certain foods is all xxx add me or message me if you need a chat :) or moan lol

Hmm what keeps me going? for me, there is only ONE way for me to go.......................down the scales, if I didn't do something [no matter how long it takes] I'd be continually going up the scales x

I know how that feels when you have to put others before yourself and looking after someone with an illness is hard, I have been there for 30 yrs. I started to take myself in hand just a little over 2 yrs ago, its very hard to change habits. Get down, get stressed, worried and anxiety and fear,= eat. I've battled with it a…

You look absolutely wonderful, well done you x

There are lots of people on here who are very supportive, xx

Well done to you, I too follow WW and am on here logging my calories to help see how I spend my carbs, etc. It does help enormously. Also, well done on your fitness regime, I think its wonderful.

add me too if you need a middle aged adopted mum lol joking, sure, add me :)

welcome, and sure, go for it

I was told by my doc that drinking more water means we expel more water from our bodies causing us to hold excess water.

First of all, do not look at this like a 'diet' and think of lettuce, and stuff like that, sure you have to pick some healthier options and bulk out meals with more veggies/salad/fruit, but find you alternative swaps gradually, your taste buds will soon adapt, believe me! I've been doing this for just over 2 yrs now, don't…

can you not get a lower fat version?

Well I had someone message me to say that I wouldn't loose weight as I eat a lot and use most of my calories, guess what............I lost 6lb last week. I've been loosing weight now for over 2 yrs [see ticker to how much] I am NO EXPERT, but I do know that eating less of what you should have makes your body go into…

You look lovely, like a model, such a pretty fresh face, oh to be young again LOL

You look amazing darling, fantastic

What a difference! well done xx

Absolutely well done!!! you look amazing, and the kids will love it!

Thank you, same with you. I agree wholeheartedly, I've also learnt from my son that we need to be focused and not let others get in the way of our aim [nicely of course!] smiles

Well done for getting back to it! just added you, hope we can support one another
