Any foods in particular? I find that if I put a store name ie Tesco, before my search term it is usually grams. I do have the advantage of being an american in the UK but I find it easier to stick to one way of measuring :) Hopefully that helps a bit as with no example I don't really know what you mean.

WOW! Incredible!!!! You are amazing! :D Keep up the great work.

Coke Zero IS different....in America.....when we go over to the states my husband prefers it to anything else, but you are right, here in the UK it is the same exact thing in a different can.

Pepsi Max is where it is at...if Im not drinking water, green tea of squash :)

If you are interested in what I was like at the beginning, I do have a vlog on youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/magentarose1978 If that link doesn't work you can look up magentarose1978 on youtube and you can get to my written blog by googling aquafitqueen :)

I hope she reads it too. I was so lucky. My surgeon wanted me to lose 77lbs (odd number but in kg it was even lol) and I only managed to lose 20 by starving myself on a liquid diet. :/ My weight was a run away train at that point and I seriously saw no way out. I am soooo thankful my surgeon took a chance and still gave me…

Hi Lilly, I'm glad I gave you hope :) I've always been fat, very super fat, but I AM DOING IT! Also, had a look at your profile! Well done on the not smoking! I quit last month using e cigs. Still on the e cigs but using it less...it really does help with the oral fixation bit...so if you fall off that wagon so to speak,…

omg. you made my eyes leak!!!!!! lol pass the tissues!

You guys are so kind :) Thank you. I really don't feel successful....yet. I was happy to finally break this barrier but I still have so far to go that it's hard for me to accept that in most people's eyes this is close to a miracle. I just wanted to put myself out there as you never know, there may be a 644lbs lurker out…

Thanks :) I shall do that then! I actually used to know all the stuff back in the days of LJ, lol, but I've gotten lazy with the "new" upload buttons lol.

I shall try to take some pics this weekend...although I haven't got a clue as to how I put them on here lol.

Just in the fairness of honesty I did have a sleeve gastrectomy at 620 lbs. It helped in the beginning, but my genes and pcos won out and I quit losing. Im on the list for another OP but am playing games with myself saying if I can lose x amount by the time my pre op appointment comes I won't have it. I am leaning towards…

Thanks! Not sure if I'm a champ or just persistently stubborn lol. And welcome new friend :)

I quite like Nectar cappacino flavour mixed in with my coffee. It's an american brand but I've been able to get it on ebay and a few other sites. I like it cos it is low carb, high protein and is gluten free :) and brrrr its freaking cold here in berks!

I dont sweat loads. Im very large as well, but I am a face sweater, lol, so whilst my shirt is damp, I am not dripping..well...except from my face, lol

Remember, sweat is fat crying....the more sweat the BETTER!!! :)

I make mash with light marg, light sour cream and skimmed milk. Tastes yummy but less cals and fat. :)

Shall I pm you my address? lol. I love starbucks light frapps!

Cereal of anykind from oats to fruit loops. You do not get a bowl full nor do you get enough to be full with the 30g serving. It barely covers the bottom of the bowl!!!! I quit eating cereal as to get "enough" it ended up being like a 700 cal meal (with milk) boooo!!!

ME ME ME!!! I originally went on it as I have a severe case of treatment resistant psoriasis. Ive been gluten free for about 2 months (with a few mess ups!) Here's what it has done for me: psorasis is clearing and quickly, depressive bipolar symptoms have eased, and the best thing about it for me is my arthritic hips are…

HW: 644lbs in 2010 CW: 461lbs LW: 420lbs in 1996 GW: 250lbs (subject to change!) oh and Im 5'10"....5 foot of torso and 10 inches of legs. Totally not really kidding!

Yup. 75lbs at 3 years old and just got bigger and bigger. Welcome to MFP!

Dont have a magic number but I have found my own person macros works best at 35% carbs 35% protein and 30% fat. And the weight is falling off like this. Low fat diets dont work for me and low carbs diets make me binge...so this magical combo allows me to focus on protein whilst still enjoy carbs! Everyone is different and…

No. We are different people with different ideals and goals. He can be him and I will be me.

I quit sertraline (Zoloft) 200mg cold turkey. O.M.G. Insanity. Had restless leg syndrom for 2 months and dry mouth and anxiety! Ugh some of these meds cause more than they fix! I quit all my meds in Feb (not recommended for anyone else) as most of my stress triggers are gone and I have been so much happier and myself, but…

birth control implant. It is known to cause weight gain even in thin people. My gp knows I am extremely sensitive to WG effects on meds so we have a deal....any time she puts me on a med or birth control that can cause weight gain, we give it 10lbs to settle down...if I gain more than 10 I am off it!!! I will never again…

Oh...and I just got the bc implant, which did cause a small weight gain (1.5lbs) but that is off now and settling down :)

I feel soooo sooo sorry for you!!!!! Risperadol/Rispiridone is satan in pill form!!!! I gained a massive amount of weight on that drug the 3 years I took it. I was on 3mg. ugh. And by massive I mean over 100lbs. Never ever again!!!! I am on a couple of others that can induce weight gain but so far I am happily losing…

Eggs are a HUGE part of my life. Filling, low cal, low carb and high protein. You can eat em scrambled, fried, boiled, devilled, made into an omelet etc. Eggs got a bad rap in the 70/80's and some people have no cared to keep up with the science! Hurrah for runny egg yolks!

The difference is, some people are here to diet to a new dress size and others are here to learn their forever way of eating. I am farrrrr from perfect and have had some seriously atrocious days, but I still log on and log every bite and lick as this is my forever way of eating, not a diet. I don't have cheat days as this…
