That was a great post, thanks very much! I'm very similar to you, I just count calories, I can't do the fasts, shakes etc, I'd prefer to eat real food, lol. I never heard of the phrase 'volume eating' I'm going to give it a google. You look great by the way, and the very best of luck with your goals! I'll send you a friend…

Well done, you look beautiful before and after :-)

Well done, thats great work! You should be proud :-)

congrats, thats fantastic work :-)

You look fabulous, well done :-)

A quick healthy meal for me is a stir fry.. spray oil on the wok, then I have cut my chicken into small pieces, stir fry them till they're cooked, then add my chopped veggies - hard one first, such as carrot, broccoli, and peppers, then softer veggies such as mushrooms and baby sweetcorn last. I then add my soy and…

I've sent you a request... if anyone would like to add me as well, feel free :-)

Hi, I've sent you a fitbit invitation, I'm new to it too! If anyone else would like to add me as well, my email address is shivpea@Hotmail.com thanks, S.

Both my mother and my sister tried hypno to give up smoking. My mam smoked for about 30 years and it worked, and my sister smoked for about 15 years and the hypno initially worked but she went back on after two years off of them. She eventually tried the Champix and hasn't looked back. both my mam and my sis said for the…

Great post!! Lots of lovely motivation here!!

Wow, well done, you look amazing and congrats on your achievement! You look much younger now as well btw :-)

Wow, well done! that's some difference, esp around your waist!

Well done Stogie, you're an inspiration, keep up the good work!!!

Sorry, but I don't know how you can all eat fast food for brekkie!! I was in the States 2 years ago and I thought the Taco Bell food was awful! Just my opinion, I know some of you out there love it :-)

Wow, congrats!! You look amazing, and so much happier too!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS!!

I always get the Flahavans Porridge, Its Irish but I believe its available in the UK. I always 40g with milk, heat it in the microwave for about 90 seconds and then add honey... yum yum!!!

Wow, that is amazing, well done you!! I'm delighted with your new found happiness and wish you all the best in the future :-)

Wow!! Thats brilliant, well done you!!! Its always great to see/hear these stories, it gives people like me real motivation!

Line a dish with filo pastry. Roast some butternut squash. Wilt your spinach. mash the squash with the spinach with a few added chillie flakes. put in the dish lined with the filo pastry, once cooked an optional extra is to add a few pomegranate seeds, looks and tastes yum!!

Although I generally like cooking I know how you feel. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood and these are the days when I tend to go off track. One thing I found helped me a good bit was when I am cooking I do a few portions and what I dont' use I package into single portions sizes and freeze so there there for me at a later…

Very pretty before, during and after :-) And the weight loss couldn't have been easy judging by the issues you have with your bones. You done a brilliant job, very well done, an inspiration to all!!!

Hi Rhonda, Sending you a friend request!! S.

Wow, you look brilliant - much younger too! Keep up the great work!!!

I always get fitted for the particular brand I'm buying (as all brands measure their bra's differently, as I'm sure you know). I'm also now make sure I wear tight tops when in the gym - for the extra support. Some tops have inbuilt support as well, so all of these variables work to keep my boobs from jumping all over the…

This! I think if you use Slimfast even to start with you'll end up giving up. I think slimfast is a fad! If you eat proper food you might not feel so deprived and will more than likely feel much more satisfiedl. If you want to eat more I'd go for a walk to get some more cals. Try to think of this as a lifestyle not a diet…

When I've got events like this I try to save a few calories within the week that its falling on. I make sure I get to the gym to build up some extra cals as well. Finally, I'd eat a healthy low cal meal before going ie, a big salad, a big bowl of soup or some veggies. Then when I go I wouldn't be as hungry probably…

Just read my post there, don't mean to sound like I focus my week around drinking, for example on Sat just gone I only had two drinks. I'm Irish and out social scene is often in the pub :-))))))

I love my few drinks on a Sat night, I normally drink pints but if the pub sells longneck Cornona light I get them instead (100 cals per bottle only slightly less stronger in alcohol). Before I go out drinking I try to 'stock up' on some cals, ie, I save some from the 2 nights before and make sure I get in exercise on the…

Wow, Brilliant, well done!!!! And you look younger too!!!
