My thoughts, you didnt have anything in to nibble on that was healthy, to me shopping and having foods in that i can eat is crucial.....be prepared, then when you think oh ill have this you can stop and think nope it's not worth it ill have a piece of fruit instead. You ate bad last week, last week is gone and is never…

To change you must WANT to change!! noone was more addicted to food than i, i did live to eat. that is until i realised food was the very thing that made me unhappy, you can use any excuse you please but if you truly want this you WILL walk past the snacks you will achieve. walking up that steep hill without being out of…

Of course the instructions say, if this happens, DO NOT PANIC. Well, thank god for that, because I was already running through the list of people I'd trust with a flashlight, a set of forceps, Omg, best laugh ive had FOREVER!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I had a band in 07, it was useless to me i was uneducated in eating properly. i have various problems and didnt lose an ounce!! my band has been empty since 2010, i started my journey here on mfp 1st may last year i think dr's need to start refering people here rather than to surgeons.

Huh? Ham and bacon are my snack foods, high protein, low carb foods.

Take away? Like never buy them? So, the non fat kids cannot enjoy a cookie because of the fat brother? I dont think thats right. [/quote] I never buy cookies (biscuits) why would my kids want to eat that kind of rubbish? they are allowed to eat it at parties etc but more often they dont.

I feel into the same trap of thinking the less i eat the more ill lose...not true!! i sts for ages, until someone told me i was in starvation mode and to up my calories im up to 1300 now and the scale has started to move down again. add some calories, try 200 a day more.

I dont exercise as in work out but i do have 5 kids so always doing this that and the other. i will up my calories as i stupidly didnt realise i was eating to low. cheers for the advice.

Loosing my mom so suddenly, at her funeral her sons/grandsons/son in law carried her coffin which was tiny and i recall thinking ''omg if i died my husband/sons/brother wouldnt be able to lift my coffin. Later on in the day releasing a dove for her i couldnt wait to sit down as my back was killing me!!! its not like i can…

Your carbs scare me, also youre not having much protein which keeps you full for longer, my advice is to cut the carbs and replace with protein.

I cant quit, this lifestyle change is how i will eat for the rest of my life now.....Yes i'll have bad days, I'm human!! but ill never ever ever go back to asking for an extender on a flight,ill no longer hang back when games of water polo are being organised on holiday, ill never tell my kids no we cant go for a walk, im…

fantastic !! well done

Reg seatbelts fit me on planes now, but i still tuck my extender into my bag 'just in case'

covering myself up,

I'm not a dog i don't treat myself with food. If there's something i want to eat i see if it fits into my allowance,i'm in it for the long haul; so i'm learning to eat properly and sensibly.

cute :)

Couldnt read and not reply. Thats so sad. x

5 kids boys are, 18,14,10,8 girl is 16

Please dont be disheartened when next weigh in you dont lose anywhere near 10lbs because you wont! you were de-toxing. You say you have a lot to lose? you wont lose it only eating this amount of calories. why have pig out days when you can have loads to eat every day and STILL lose weight. I wish you the best but education…

You'll never lose weight with pressure, you have to do it for you its a hard enough challenge without living up to someones expectations.

75lbs in 7 months, pics on profile

when i started i couldnt walk up stairs without being out of breath, last saturday we went to a family party and i danced with my son all night!! Old days i wouldnt have even got up to dance, My sons glowing face cause i was dancing made all the cravings and self doubting worth it. ive lost 2lb short of 5 stone and have…

Only time i daily way is when it's totm, even tho i know its natural to go up by 5lbs it still disheartens me so i use the daily weighing at that time to keep me on track. Otherwise i weigh once a week and take measurements fortnightly.

IMO, they are crap scuse the pun! You get all stomach cramps and have to be near a toilet ALL the time. It's just self induced squits.

veg, veg, veg oh and veg,with some chicken, prawns, ham thrown in.
