Thank you again everyone for your encouraging words

Morning CattOfTheGarage The answer to your binge question is a resounding NO I don't binge. There is no secret eating or comfort eating and nothing left out of my diary. I'm not the kinda person to try kid myself on, let alone others, what you see is what you get with me, open, honest and upfront. I've had things…

My doctor has me on a very strong prescription only Vit D supplement for that deficiency and I have an injection every 10 weeks for my B12 deficiency, so that's all in hand. I'm due a check on my levels at end of February, at which point they have said they want to test my magnesium levels as well now. So should be…

Hi Sorry, been looking after my Grandson today so haven't had a lot of time to myself. I have just posted a few messages now so if you read them you'll see the bit about my food/diary/logging etc. But I can say with 100% confidence that I log absolutely everything, maybe not been accurate with the weight of some foods as I…

I especially want to say a huge thank you to those of you who have totally got that I'm big lady!!! 240lbs big!!! That I'm lugging that around all day not just when I'm exercising, so approx an extra 8 Stone, every minute of the day, no matter what I'm doing. That's like lifting 50kg at the gym, and keeping it lifted,…

Hi everyone I'm truly grateful for everyone's help, thoughts and opinions on here, the support has helped to pick me back up and carry on today. I even went out for a 45 minute walk in the pouring rain. So thank you everyone. If anyone would like to be friends please feel free to add me, Support is a great thing to have on…

Someone on here mentioned about checking what my BMR is... So out of curiosity I have just entered all my stats into a BMR Calculator to see what it says for a woman my size. It says my BMR is - 1783 So 1783 is what my body uses just to function and tick over normally. I burn approx between 500-700 calories per day through…

I'm on Fultium D3 800u capsules. So all good on that one

Oh I totally agree....at my size, calories I'm on and exercising every day...absolutely it should just be dropping off....hence the confusion and frustration I'm feeling today. I've been back since Sep last year, so 5 months I've been giving 100%, but clearly something is wrong

I wasn't stressed till today lol. Sleeping isn't too bad, on average 7 to 8 hours every night

Sorry keep leaving info out... I'm 46 Well you see this is what I thought, so when people were saying 1200 calories is no where near enough and leaving no room to manoeuvre as your weight drops, I thought they were probably right, hence why I started upping it, but now I'm gaining weight it's starting to worry me and just…

Have to have a B12 injection every 10 weeks for the rest of my life because of that deficiency. I take a very strong prescription VitD supplement to try to counteract that deficiency. Pain killers when the pain is literally unbearable. Apart from that no other meds, I try not to take anything if I can help it. Can't afford…

Also forgot to add..I am intending at beginning of March to start swimming, and I'm going to take the plunge and join a gym. Start weight training mixed with cardio which means I can use things like the bikes (since I don't have one) the elliptical and the rower, which all takes pressure/impact off my foot. I'm willing to…

I've also just made my diary public now. Look quite far back as last 2 days aren't the normal for me that was me edging my calories up to see if I could do around 1500 to 1600 a day as it seemed a lot. Not sure I want to now and thinking about going back down to 1200

Sorry I should have put that in first post I'm now .... 17 st 2lbs 5ft 4in Was on 1200 calories After being told that wasn't enough for someone my size I tried 1300, then 1400

The kids have had their papers rpunds since they were 14, but they are now 17 (almost 18) and 16, one is in her 2nd year at sixth form the other finishing his first year at college, they have grew out of them so to speak, feel they are grown up now lol, and moved on to other things, so were about to give them up. I…

I'm not usually stressed but this has clearly got to me this time. The pain is a mixture....partly foot pain...had 7 surgeries on my left foot few years back to try and correct some bone issues and to relieve me of pain when walking, sadly surgery failed and has caused me more pain, so can't stand or walk without pain now,…

Yes log all my food every single thing that passes my lips, everything is counted measured weighed etc on food scales to exact gram etc. Can't be over estimating what I'm burning in a day as I go from my FitBit which tells me exactly what I have at end of each day. Profile is accurate and logged everything consistently for…

To think a towel could make us that happy lol . I look forward to the day i dont need to use a beach towel lmfao :-) Great achievement, well done x

Hi Honey Im so sorry to hear what you have been through x Please feel free to add me if you want so that you can see everything in my profile and food diary etc. But the answer to your question is "YES" . I have terrible ill health that limits me immensly at times, but put that aside i had extensive major surgery in April…

Hi I like your post because of how straight talking and honest you are, you remind me of me and ive lost friends being like that , some people can take it and some cant. I had someone unfriend me just recently because i made a comment about their diary not being viewable, they took offence and blocked me, but water off a…

Milton keynes, England - land of round abouts and concrete cows lol, Originally from Scotland.

I have 10 Stone to lose and i stay upbeat By not looking at the big picture, I focus more on what ive achieved so far, than what i still have to do, NEVER fall into the trap of looking that far ahead. I also give myself small half stone goals and reward myself each time i achieve them, it gives you a massivve boost. Stay…

I have 10 Stone to lose, i know its a very big picture, a very long journey, the road seems never ending, no horizon in sight or light at the end of the tunnel, BUT...... you CAN do it, specially on here, its the best thing ive ever found to help. Just take it in small steps and give yourself small goals along the way, so…

Thank You, You too x
