My goal for this month of May is..........to carry on loosing weight. I don't set myself too many goals at I did start of rather heavy!!! see my profile lol so one step at a time for me. If I set out too many goals and do not succeed I feel a failure, so I don't do it. xx

I think you'll find its not about eating less, its eating more of the right things hun. Foods that stay in your body longer and fill you up are sometimes scary as they look high in calories, but you will find you won't crave or need 'top ups' all the time. Getting healthy and loosing weight is not about eating less, you…

You are doing amazingly well too!

I've got some loose skin, especially around the stomach, chest and thighs, but it has been tightening up as I go. I think the weight lifting helps a lot with it. I'm going to give a couple of years at this weight and see how it responds. If I'm not happy with it after that, I may consider getting something done about, but…

Fantastic, what an inspiration, my son was like you, and he has a pair of jeans exactly like that lol...........he lost, went from 25 stone to 14 stone 1, but, he had terrible excess skin, how did you cope with this as I am getting is as I loose the weight?

Well done everyone on this thread, I do feel its harder for us older ones to loose weight, especially around menopause time:huh:

oh I meant to say, just because something is high, doesn't mean its bad for you, like rice for instance, its filling and healthy and stays in the body longer to keep you fuller for longer

I too come from a WW background and short term SW, both worked for me, and what I have learnt is how I am calorie counting now:wink: I eat most of my calories for my main meal. I use them for what I personally term as 'proper' foods. I do eat nuts, share half a small bag with my son, so that means I can have a little…

I always enjoy, chicken skinless breast, tbls of Raggae sauce brushed over it, add some mushrooms chopped, VLF grated cheese, wrapped in turkey rashers, put in foil and bake, I have that with rice and salad usually, hmm just thinking of this makes my mouth water now:wink:

Really well done! how long did it take you to loose your weight, you look good, and wise words there my friend

You look amazing

great recipe link there Shaz, thank you :wink:

oh yes, forgot about that, WW pitta bread or the WW naan is good

Wow, wonderful stories in here for us who have lots to loose. It just shows, we don't need faddy diets, just keeping an eye on what we put in our mouths and making healthier substitutes along the way, I have learnt how to make things along the way and use alternatives, its amazing how our taste buds change little by…

Warburtons square, that would be the best and lowest base, or I made muffin pizza's

TOTAL framaige frais sweetened is a godsend LOL with strawbs, you can pretend its strawbs n cream

You can add me, anyone can and together we can do it!

Keep on going girl, don't be hard on yourself, it will come off, remember, its easy to put on HARD to take off, so keep chiseling away at it

I've not been here long, but there seems to be men around on here.................anyway, your here to loose weight lad!!! no matter if we are male of female [joking]

Oh please PLEASE do not stand on the scales daily, at the very least, stand on them around the same time, same scales, same place at the same time, if you have eaten before you weight, then ALWAYS do that, if you don't, they do not eat before you weight. You can loose 5lb over night!!! depending on the time of day you…

I am 54, and yes it is harder. I am going through the menopause and all over the place [period wise] which really doesn't help. But sticking with it does help, I've started to eat less carbs and upped my protein like my GP said and its now working, I don't eat certain fruits as they tend to hold more water, or limit…

well done on your loss so far!!! I'll buddy up with ya

please add me if you want, I still have a long way to go

hmm sounds lovely thank you

well done you! :smile:

well done, feel free to add me too as I am a WW person who has come here

If I want a cook breakfast and I have time, then I have 2 WW or Light choice from Tesco, sausages, I cook them in my actifry, 3 rashers of turkey bacon, 1/2 tin or baked beans or tomatoes 1 x WW bread or Warburtons wholemeal light,.. toasted, I'm allergic to eggs so don't have them, I also fill up on…

Thank you, have added you today. I'm just getting used to the forum so not sure how it works and where I am supposed to be LOL

not sure about pounds, I'd have to convert it! but I do have another 6 stone to loose

I did WW for 2 yrs and lost 11 stone, then my daughter joined SW, I thought I'd go along with her and lost a further 16lbs, we didn't get on with SW [all that cooking and A and B's!] etc, So seeing that my son had lost 10 stone, had all his excess skin removed, OMG I just couldn't put the weight back on................I…
