Hello First of all well done for making the change, secondly well done on losing some weight too.... I have been a fat lad most my adult life, never bothered with exercise, I was happy big, never bothered me......but I had a car crash 6 yrs ago and I ballooned so though its time I started shifting some of it..... I started…

Not true....you can lose weight without exercising......its all in the food you eat... Yes exercise helps, but it is possible to do it while not moving.......

Another thought...based on the last bit...^... Is your boss the owner too? Or just manager?..... Either way could you put a plan together of how your current place could be improved, ran better....im sure you could improve things given the right opportunity........ Maybe keep looking for another job elsewhere while doing…

Not knowing if you can stand to stay there for any longer but have you thought about maybe training in a job field that you really do want to work in, maybe do night classes, or online courses etc and then try to find a job that you will love, if the job market is anything like the UK sometimes its best gritting teeth…

I got a *kitten* load of Tramadol pain killers after my second crash, and in 8 weeks became addicted to them, Although I needed them to start with for pain, I soon felt wheezy and wobbly on then, so tried to cut them down, and it made me worse, was told it was addition withdrawals, and I had to wean myself off them over a…

I've had 2, first one 6 yrs ago, I suffered bad whiplash and back injuries, I gained 4 stone (48 lbs) following this crash and this was the catalyst to get me started on here. ........ At this time I bought a treadmill and used it for walking. .....I started doing 15 mins at 2mph. .....that's all I could manage. .........I…

This for me is the best chocolate cake ever. ....... http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/flourlesschocolateca_93580 But this is my favourite cake in the world and it's easy. .... http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/519946/elderflower-and-lemon-drizzle-cake

I bought a fitbit charge hr 12 months ago. ....brilliant bit of kit for a data freak like me. .....,,I also can't wear mine on wrist at work as I work in a food factory. .......so I wear it round my ankle. ....works fine if not better as it counts steps and not arm movements too......... The hr side still works fine also,…

Hi Jessi I too wonder why your struggling for motivation, if losing 15 in 15 days is not motivation enough then I am lost....lol....... If your struggling keeping up to the goals then eat more... lose less.... I see this website a little different from others, I say that your changes should be gradual, my advice to anyone…

First of all I too am happy you have found what works for you, and long may that continue.... The way I see this post, and how its gone is the fact you have come to a Calorie Counting site to tell us that you don't count calories, so why come here to tell us?? surely you don't use this site anymore as the main purpose is…

This I work nights too, my meal times are 00:00 - 02:00 / 02:00 - 06:00 / 06:00 - 12:00 / 12:00 - 18:00 / 18:00 - 21:00 / 21:00 - 00:00 This fits my schedule well, and I just log my foods in the times I eat, I think its actually more accurate this way, as you see your meal patterns more.... Good luck

More the merrier for me, add away anyone, I am from the UK, 42 and have been obese most of my life, over the last 6 on and off yrs on here I have lost 7 stones in total, 2 stone since last year and its stayed off, I am no expert, but I know whats worked for me.... I like a laugh on my feeds, so no whigners and cry babies…

Preperation for me is the key.....I have a routine I take my own water bottles to work with me, I wont drink from water fountains as I have seen inside them, if not looked after there bad.....so for me taking my own water to work was the only option (or pay £1.20 for a bottle from canteen) I would begrudge paying so much…

I am currently 230 lbs and my daily goal is 1980 calories, I lost 24lbs last year following this site...I am set to lose 1lb per week (would be on 1480 i set to 2lbs) so yes your total does seem low... Your activity level is also an important one, and how thats set, be honest about it, if you do sit around all day then put…

I have an Uncle that lives in IL South bend, he loves it, but he is from UK so wont know any different....lol.....anywhere not in UK is good...

Have to be the Caribbean for me, laid back and plenty of sun....

^^^ as above, add as many people as possible, and you will soon weed out the ones that are fake, or that are not doing similar things to yourself or that just dont communicate, that way you will find one or 2 that you gel with and can help you get through it all..... I have all my stuff at home so I have no excuse not to…

Morning all......I am back.......if you'll have me that is...........Did you miss me???..;)..........and if you remeber me that is too.....lol......I am still working nights, been a busy 6 months, with the pups and life, I have also bought the pups a campervan so I can take them visiting England once the decent weather…

I have a Charge HR - The info you get from the HR side is great too, You can tell if your ill, as your HR changes, I also saw a pattern before flu came on that my body actually had it before I knew I had it, again through your resting HR..... But for me the fact it shows you up to be a lazy so and so as well can help get…

Sounds like we might of been seperated at birth OP..... I was 23 stone at my heavyest, that was following a car crash 5 yrs ago, and just before christmas I got to 15 st 13 the firt time ive been below 16 stone for over 25 years... I am not saying I am any good at this dieting stuff, but I have my way of looking at things…

@Frankie_Felinius I totally see the opposite in you with this sentence, your deep thoughts are telling you to look for the escape route, how to get out in a fire, where to sit if a gun nut comes in, so deep down you want to live....Motherhood has obviously treated you well......I would be proud of that........Personally I…

Well that's my week finished with....thank F..............now back to decorating....oh the joys......

That line might work if I did not have visions of Joey (friends) trying to crack on with me now......lol

Amazon and Ebay are the best shops in the world.....full stop.....I am not a good shopper, if you get in my way you get the short end of my temper...being British we have certain standards we live by...and queue jumping and plain rudeness just will not do..........so you do something to me...then all hell breaks…

I know im the shy and quiet type and don't post that much....but I thought I was still a member......no chocolate makers on your list Lilac :'( :'( :'( On another note.....did that set of teeth really just show up to slag people off for eating junk food........now he is definitely a day shifter............no way is he…

I used to work a "normal" shift....8 - 6.....the traffic on the way home was horrendous......a 15 min journey would take 60 / 90 mins.....EVERY day......no bypassing it.....you had to sit in it..........since I came onto nights.....new job......my drive home is great......and if I put my foot down I have timed…

:# :# :# ......*kitten*, *kitten* *kitten*.....just spent 20 minutes typing a massive reply to bel about getting a dog and I hit a wrong button and pooof gone........ :# :# :# In short this time...... :# It takes a lot of training to get a dog into your routine......think of the space it will need to live in for 14…

This has reminded of a video of a boxer dog and a woman twerking on Facebook.......please tell me someone has seen that vid....and the comments...one of the best I have ever seen...... The thing I want to know is never mind Dick Glasscock........what are his parents like.........they must be a blast......who in there right…

Spoil sport.....;)

Please tell me what I missed........I miss all the good stuff with the UK time difference.....
