9lb in three weeks is a GOOD weight loss! It also takes a week for your body to metabolise a true weight gain or loss - fluctuations occur due to salt etc - how much extra fluid you are carrying on any given day - so don't be disheartened - carry on and yes, I can tell you from personal experience - the more calories you…

just keep going!!!! LOG EVERYTHING that passes your lips - try to stick as close to your calorie allowance as possible and just keep going - that's what I've done - it's been a long hard road but worth every single moment of it - never stop until you reach your destination - then you can rest but you have to continue to…

Hi - I'm 48 and I've been having the perimenopause for at least 4yrs already! It's played havoc with my dieting and I take much longer to lose weight now than ever before - after the age of 40 I learned why 'middle age spread' is such a Cliche - because it's so true - truer than I could of ever imagined!!! I gained a full…

I'm 5lbs away - and finding it really difficult to shift it!!!

I think there is a lot of malteasers going on there :) and I'd recommend you change your breakfast - rice crispies are not substantial enough to see you through the morning in my opinion! I'd cut down on fat too - you have butter and oil going into the same meal on one of your days - I don't know if those observations will…

Fantastic! Well done :) you look amazing! x

haha! FANTASTIC! You are doing brilliantly - not many people talk about the beast behind us - I had exactly the same problem and I'm relieved to say it's disappearing at last - I wish I had taken 'before' photos because it really was something to behold!!! I actually could feel it - the rolls folded over on each other and…

You look absolutely amazing! congratulations - JOB WELL DONE!!! Fantastic :) xxx

OMG! GO YOU! What a transformation - congratulations on your success :) xxx

The most important thing here is - don't eat your emotions! I'm a comfort eater too and I've had some major ups and downs in the last year and I've learned that eating your emotions adds to your problems - it doesn't solve them and the comfort doesn't last! I've lost a total of 41lbs now (even though my ticker says 35lbs -…

MFP is a weight loss and health site - not just to lose weight as you say - but neither is it a place to promote anorexia or eating disorders - I would be ashamed encourage someone to lose weight who is already at the low end of their ideal weight range - if you read my earlier post you will also understand I have been in…

Fabulous!!! well done :) xxx

WOW! What a difference 28lbs has made - you look fabulous - good to remind yourself - I have to take stock regularly too! You look amazing - keep up the good work :) xxx

This isn't a forum for 'models' it's a weight loss forum for achieving healthy bodies - for eating correctly and having a healthy frame and a healthy attitude to your weight - her 'before' clothed picture is of a slim woman/girl - not a before picture of someone that has a weight problem - and I don't believe she has a…

I'm quite shocked by this - you say 'Do you know my body to judge?' you have put yourself on a weight loss forum posted photographs of yourself 'before' and 'after' that are actually scary - your 'before' photo was on the thin side - you can hardly expect people not to comment about that - you now look as if you're not…

wow! what a transformation - congratulations and well done on all your hard work - the results have to be worth it - you look beautiful!

It's taken me 6 months to lose 35lbs :) xxx

I lose at a rate of around 1lb per week - some weeks I stay the same, very rarely I loose more than 1lb - the thing is all those one pounds mount up to big pounds! Although my ticker says I've lost 35lb - I've actually lost 40lb in total - 35lb of it since last November - I do it at a rate I know I can live with - I can't…

I absolutely love your post!!! It's all about priorities - my priority, like yours - is to be slimmer, healthier and fitter - my boobs do not define who I am - at the end of the day being alive and healthy is more important - I just don't get the fuss over boobs in this day and age! Last year my mum was diagnosed with…

You know - the first thing I see is that you have a lovely defined waist! I've had three children have have yo-yo dieted for years and years - with each pregnancy I gained huge amounts of weight - so my tummy doesn't look significantly different to yours - i understand how in a perfect world you would like it flat - but at…

This is my problem right now! In fact, I blogged about it only yesterday - it's so much harder to lose weight at this age (48) than it was in my 20's or 30's - I would LOVE to be able to take HRT but I can't - My periods are irregular - I go 6 months straight without one (though I get 'signs' every month!) and then…

You look perfect! Well done xxx

Protein is going to help you lose weight - sugar is the negative factor!

To be honest your current weight is my goal weight (I'm 47) 108lbs at 5'4 doesn't sound healthy to me - sorry. I'm 5'5 and I think as you get older it is wiser to carry just a little extra than when you were younger because of oestoporosis etc - just my opinion but I'd speak to my doctor if I were you to sort out a…

Congratulations from one Marilyn fan to another :) you look gorgeous! Well done xxx

Fantastic transformation!!! Well done xxx

I made the switch over two years ago - after about a year I started drinking coffee again and I found it had so many negative effects on my well being that I gave it up again last August and I've not looked back since - couldn't even be tempted! I feel better, sleep better, my skin looks better and I've been able to lose…

actually it's not in pink it's in green lol xxx

I think around 6 weeks you'll really start to see an improved you! That's probably the earliest that you'll see a difference but you'll feel the difference easily after a week :) You should be feeling it now - but remember it didn't take you a few days to gain the weight - it wont go in a few days or even weeks - I've been…

Well done! Stunning transformation! :) congratulations xxx
