I've never ever been less than a UK size 14 and I just wouldn't be me if I was a (UK) size 8 or even 10. My ideal size would be a UK 12, but if I couldn't get below a 14 I would be okay with that.

I can't stand celery or corned beef, or mustard! yuck!

dawntwist because dawn is my first name and well.. i'm forever getting my "knickers into a twist".. not sure if that's only a UK saying or not.. but hey :)

Well done with your progress, and yes I've felt like I could untell people some things but be proud and if they do find they want to compete with you, you have a head start! No matter how much you weight or what they weigh. x

I heard: Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper (or something along those lines) which I get, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But I love my comfort food when I've come home from the office. Plus, I get tired after a large meal so a big lunch at work isn't ideal for me. If I…

yes i agree that she is over the weight she should be but i think she carries it well and she could be a lot worse. i just don't like that she's called fat. i don't like anyone being called fat.

My fave dress is #3, you look great! x

i hate eating spaghetti in public! the other day i went to my in-laws for dinner and she made spaghetti! I was so glad when she snapped it in half so I wouldn't have super long spaghetti to eat (which can be messy) :D

I used to only shave to just above the knee but then I shaved above as I have dark hair (but wasn't all that bad.. looking back) and now obviously I always (every few days) need to shave above, since I started, so my advice, if you don't really need to.. don't do it. :)

I agree, definitely 10lbs lost. It shows you what you've already achieved and by sticking to what you know, you can lose 10lbs more!

Thanks everybody for all your advice. I might have painted a bad picture of my husband, he's a great person really but he's not overweight at all, he's actually underweight so I feel that he doesn't understand my eating habits, his take on it is "if it's bad for you, just don't eat it" which sounds fair but not as easy to…

My stretch marks have eventually faded, you can still see them but they're not as pink or wrinkly as they've been there for a while. I hated it when they were reddish and really visible. The only good thing about mine is that they're on my lower tummy and hips and only slightly on my arms so it doesn't stop me from wearing…

Thanks for the support, good to know I'm not alone where that counts. I'm aiming to do more exercises good for trimming the tummy and bum as those areas need the most work. x

Hi ZebraBri, I'm the same as you in the size department and came to MFP for the support too x

I love to occasionally snack on Quavers (88cals/bag), really gives me a much needed satisfaction for a snack. Other times I snack on carrot sticks and make my own cucumber dip with mint yoghurt.
