You are doing brilliantly and it is amazing how much you've changed. Like I said previously, beautiful :wink:

Beautiful :)

Ashleeei - It is a work out DVD by Jillian Micheals. I just did day 2 and am aching all over :laugh:

Katkins73 You're not kidding! My thighs are killing me :laugh: DJ478 How do I join a group, and which one do I join? I've always just used MFP as a calorie and progress tracker and not really participated much in the forums.

I'm a bloke, and didn't feel confident enough to try P90X or Insanity, so I thought I'd try a nice girly 30 Day Shred. I just finished Day 1, and I am completely knackered :laugh:

Hahaha Brilliant! :laugh:

I'll just say, find the things that make you happy and shrug off the things that don't. Maybe join a gym for the weightlifting, I'm sure it's packed with people eager to offer advice with any body/skin concerns you may have. Maybe some have even felt the way you do when they started out :wink:

Wonderful work, you inspire me! :drinker:

Brilliant work, you've done so well! :drinker:

Absolutely brilliant, well done! :drinker:

Some people respond better to sympathy and encouragement, than the 'deal with it and move on' approach. She's clearly upset, think how you would like others to treat you if you were feeling like that:frown:

Well done, you are doing brilliantly :drinker:

That's sensible :smile: I think if it's planned food then you don't get the guilt afterwards, but when you give into a craving, you feel you've let yourself down. Being as the OP started this topic 4 hrs ago, is anyone else curious as to whether or not we got chocolate? :laugh:

Noooooooooo! The guilt you feel after giving in to a craving will only make you crave more. You are doing so well, don't ruin it for a quick food high. I've given in before, and it just makes you feel ashamed of yourself, which will make you want to binge again or just give up altogether. Be strong, you've already lost…

I can't say that this is 100%, but I read somewhere on the internet (a bodybuilding site I think), that loose skin will only really spring back when there is no excess fat weighing it down. The site also said to try to get as lean as possible, so that body fat is below double figures and drink plenty of water. I am only…

Well done! I'm jealous :) Keep up the great work

@NewLIFEstyle4 Thank you :blushing: . I know it isn't the worst of peoples health problems, but if one person read it who did have Acid Re-Flux and then found that healthy eating and exercise could help, I'd be happy i helped lol :smile: @bonuskid40 Thank you for the info, I will remember that. It's nice to know that so…

I had Acid Re-flux, and woke up most nights coughing from choking on my stomach acids. I was popping Rennies at least 8 times a day because of heartburn. Just 1 crisp would start it off lol. I tried all kinds of "remedies", including vinegar and baking soda drinks. Nothing worked until I started dieting (with my gorgeous…
