^^ THIS ^^ You made it clear you were offended. The lameness of his apology was probably because he was embarrassed to be honest... chances are he didn't expect you to take it to heart. Forget about it, move on with your life. x (NOTE: unless it becomes a regular thing, and then you're talking about bullying & workplace…

No offence intended to this poster, but I think this is absolutely not the way to go about it. How would you feel if he grabbed your belly & said "Come on fatty, it's time to get serious about losing weight!"?! Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but for me, that level of disrespect would not be met with a happy ending.…

I can understand not trusting a personal trainer who was overweight, but a nutritionist doesn't lose her education by piling on the lbs, so I would have absolutely no problem there at all. It's also worth mentioning that there are doctors who smoke, paramedics (eg) who refuse to go to the GP when there's something clearly…

Ha! :D

Oh yummerz! I can see this thread descending into a sugary wet dream. <3

Quite simply, they're bullies. They've never grown up, never learned that putting other people down to make themselves feel better is not the way forward. They never will learn this, either. They will exist, procreate, and then die. They are a complete and utter pointless waste of oxygen. You, meanwhile, are smart, bright,…

^^^^^ I like this! ^^^^^ These are my 'go-to' mantras:

... Or to bring it 'up to date', "There are lies, there are damn lies, and then there is the Daily Mail..." :D

*hug* As a good friend tells me when I feel like this (which is all the damn time at the moment!), "Results or Excuses; never both". Keep at it. When you want this more than you want the easy option, you'll make it. x

A good way of making friends on these types of forum-based sites is to post on the message boards & get to know people that way. :) However, feel free to add me if you'd like - I don't post much, but I'm fairly new at this (3 months in) and am happy to make friends & forge a support network!

Fantabulous. You look amazing. :) 18 months, eh? I started at over 17st, and am 3 months in. I've hit the "OH WHAT IS THE GORRAM POINT?" wall as I am massively impatient. It helps to know I have to stick at it, that it takes *everyone* a lot of time to undo years of abuse. Thank you. x [CAVEAT: In the unlikely event that…

Although Ruthe8 may not have phrased it quite right, her sentiment is correct; if the OP is doing this for someone else, it's never going to work. Losing weight for your own self-esteem is fantastic, and if that's what the OP meant then awesome; sometimes we all need a kick in the pants to wake us up. However it did sound…

I not only crave (carbs, mostly) like a demon during, but am never sated. Ever. Literally, I could eat so much my stomach physically exploded, but I wouldn't feel remotely full. :noway: I combat it by drinking WAY more water than I usually, stocking up on fruit (strawberries, grapes, raisins, etc; yes they're full of…

Totally just had a weep (****ing hormones!)... absolutely amazing to see you looking so happy. You are a total star. :)

1 inch in a 2 weeks is awesome, well done!! :) I'm having the same thing. I'd not taken ANY measurements at all, it was all weight. I started the 1,200 calories thing MONTHS ago, around May/June time, and haven't lost a thing. I've been exercising (Zumba) once a week for a 6 weeks, and then started Zumba and kettlebells…

Did your GP say how long it's likely to be? There are loads of physio-type exercises that strengthen your core muscles which can help as it means less stress on the sciatic muscles & nerves This site was really useful to me (also suffer with Sciatica): http://www.impactphysio.co.uk/treatments/sciatica.php Can also…

Awesome work, girly. Look at you! I cannot imagine EVER standing in front of a mirror with my abdomen out & not feeling repulsed. You've done SO amazingly well! And, the abs are DEFINITELY there!! In slightly related news, I do love the dress in the 'before' shot, though. ;)
