Staffordshire here with 5 stones to shed! How you getting on?

Midlands lass here, back on it after considerably losing my way after losing my Dad 18 months ago. Definitely up for straight talking support, and happy to give it!

I'm in Staffordshire and need exactly the same! Need the support but also need someone to encourage me to get off my *kitten* more!

Asda have some great things in their George range, Sainsbury's Tu range also but a little more pricey

Really great topic, thanks for posting. I have no off switch and when I binge, I binge a HUGE amount of very bad food, I just keep going and going with it like I cannot get enough. Because of this inability to know when I've had enough or I am full, the thing for me is will power to resist it in the first place and…

Really sorry, but I'm going to have to back out as had an operation recently and eating erratically due to my meds (which are also making me very sick). Good luck everyone x

I ADORE porridge, can happily eat it thick and made with water! But when I was getting used to it, honey worked for me.

Thanks for this, a really great read and definitely the direction my eating is heading in since getting my initial bulk of weight off.

I spend an hour on the treadmill. A gentle run at 7.5 kmph for 30 minutes, 10 minutes at intervals doing 1 minute sprints and the rest is walking. I burn over 500 calories in this hour, probably at an overall effort of 8. I've gone from no exercise in years to joining a gym last November and learning to run for the last…

If you're bored, you head will automatically go to food, so keep busy. Drink plenty of water, often we're not hungry but dehydrated. And if you're craving sweet things, try brushing your teeth,it helps! Oh and one more thing, it does get easier, honest! x

I'd very much like to join and take a spot please, need to lose more than 5 ideally to hit my target in time for my birthday on 2 March!

For me, drink plenty of water and if the cravings get bad, brush your teeth, sounds daft but it does help. Oh and keep busy so that food isn't all you think about. Good luck, it does get easier, promise!

I started at 16 stone 2lbs and was in a UK size 18/20. After dropping 3 and a half stones, I'm in a 14 generally now. Hope that helps!

Oh and borrow. As in would you borrow me some money. It's lend. LEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exercise *shudders*

Spooky that you should put this, I was only thinking yesterday that I should check out Zumba routines online. Moglet my lovely, can you message me linkage? Thanks missus x

THIS is why I tell you that you are my inspiration. You're a friend, you've been there and you've done it, worked your *kitten* off and got the version of you that you wanted to be. You're are proof that it can be done and that with the right effort, I can get there too. So bloody proud of your achievements, and so proud…

First mile done before breakfast! Have a great day, y'all! x

Dry brushing is when you use a body brush and brush areas of your body to stimulate lymphatic drainage. Must be done in the direction of your heart. Hope that helps!

Right, hopefully that ticker will work and show that I'm IN!

Okay, after the advice I had from jonnyb62 (thanks!) I'm going to commit to 20 miles for my first month, hope that's okay?

I'm interested in being a part of this, but as someone who has only recently started doing a little exercise, I have no idea what to set as a goal, any suggestions for a noob?

For all the real advice, thank you. For all the b*tching and rudeness, take it somewhere else next time. Especially the spelling nazi.
