This^^^^^^. :)

Yes some people do treat you differently than they did before most have been mentioned in earlier posts But has anyone experienced friends being jealous of the new slim you? I have been quite surprised by two so called female friends who, although appear to be happy for me, actually say things like " I'll make sure you…

Fantastic! It's not the speed but the journey! Like you I am taking a slower pace, been at it over 2 years but not giving up for the last 7 kilos Always knew I could do it and the seeing me now spurs me on. Keep going at your own pace :)

10 At my age anything with a pulse is a bonus!!

Great post OP and excellent advice which I'm going to remember as I too tend to stumble and hiccup on a regular basis! Thank you everyone! :drinker: :heart:

I want Indian food really bad now. [/quote] Lol me too!!

Prawns or fish are a good choice or the dryer curries You can substitute chipati for rice so offsetting some cals and carbs. One papa pappadum is about 80 cals Enjoy it then watch ur intake later in week!!

Got no advice that you haven't already been given! Just wanted to say how FAB you look and fantastic job done to date so don't give up, I've been stuck at the same weight for 4 months but still hoping it'll eventually shift :)

Love it when someone 'stirs the pot'. But don't think he is OK if he thinks us Brit girls are prudes - he clearly has never crossed the pond and dipped his toes in!

Isn't it a shame that in the 21 st Century society still labels people on their sexual orientation which is such a small ( but important) part of who we are? When I was a little girl it was actually illegal to be a "homosexual" but only if you were a man!? I know is some parts of the so called Modern World, yes you USA,…

My lack of energy is due to current ill health but I recognise I need to adjust my cals as been stuck for several months now

I weigh everything I cook but sometimes with work can't so generally over estimate then as you never know what they put in it! Been stuck for 3 months, not gained but not lost either. Have AIH which they changed my meds for and compromised my immunity and have been suffering with various horrible viral infections for past…

This! However piercing aside I LOVE your hair :happy:

Amazing! :drinker:

Excellent job! Well done in pushing through you look amazing:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: , I've been stuck for months but like you kept going and I too haven't lost weight but have gone down a size and a half in clothes but with no weight loss! My health isn't very good at the moment but I'm not giving in and…

I didn't even think it was the same person THAT'S how much you've changed, awesome, absolutely fabulous and inspiring, Congratulations on succeeding and long may it continue and thank you for sharing :)

Fantastic job, well done and big congratulations on your pregnancies, past, present and future :)

I'm 60 years young and have currently lost 28.7kilos (63lbs) and resting RHR is around 48 Am I deceased??!! I work out cardio and weights 3 times a week

The only comment I would give is whatever food you eat make sure that not only does it contain the right number of calories, protein etc but it is something you would always eat as many failed weight loss is due to such drastic food choice changes that you slip back into bad ways and the weight piles on plus more (voice of…

I can go for weeks and the scale stays static then WHAM I loose 2/3 kilos! I no longer worry about the weight but rely on how lose my trousers are - I have gone down 5 sizes now! Don't give up and don't be afraid to try some of the plans that others have suggested, it's all about finding which one suits you. Good luck :)

Well done you! Keep going it doesn't matter if you fall off the wagon but the important bit is getting back on! Logging is deffo the answer so try and keep it going. Congrats again and look forward to seeing less of you in the future!

Awesome job, keep going you look fantastic :)

Wonderful progress and a fantastic inspiration! So glad ur my MFP friend as your journey keeps me motivated and determined to aspire to your success! Thank you DQ!! :)

Hilarious!! Prefer the 'before' you though!!

Just have another vodka and forget the cals!

Same thing here, have been static for 4 weeks but have gone down another dress size! Advice here is spot on - mix it up, I'm weighing tomoz and hope I've lost a kilo ( 2 ibs). Keep going, the body needs time to adjust etc. Thanks everyone for great words of wisdom and OP for posting :)

Lets hope they still have teeth. :)

Oops sorry was mush brain earlier! Yep made a boobie Thanks for rectifying ignore old Grandma brain :)

My understanding s that you need about 500cals per feed so if ur nursing 6 times that uses 3000 cals. Not sure how you can input with MFP but if you know your calorific daily level just add the extra cals per number of feeds? Sorry didn't know exactly. Enjoy the baby and the experience as its so special :)

Please OP read all this good advice, its fantastic that you've decided to change your life and lose weight and get healthy but if you are in it for the long haul the advice on MFP by many of the 'experienced' posters is invaluable. Good luck!
