Yes of course there is. Some people have larger frames than others.

It's not peoples place to tell others that they're fat. I mean, if it's a partner or parent or someone you're very close to and trust then maybe but otherwise no, people should, and generally do, mind their own business imo. There's enough unwanted fat-shaming that goes on as it is.

Why do you think people will use it as an excuse? An excuse for what exactly? There is an enomous amount of stigma attached to overeating/binge eating and sufferers are likely to be mocked, labelled as greedy and told "why don't you just stop eating?" Noone wants an excuse to eat themselves into oblivion. It's awful and…

You hit the nail on the head. These people are clueless *kitten*. Thats mine and most other peoples experience.

I would advise not staying on it for too long. Come off it very, very gently and slowly with the support of your Lighter Life group leader. You've lost loads so well done but be very careful. Trust me, if you fall off the wagon there is very little chance of you being able to repeat what you did the first time and there is…

I would be really careful with such a restrictive calorie goal. In the long term there is a very real possibility of 'falling off the wagon' and ending up binging because you are restricting your calorie intake so much. You shouldn't take these things personally, it is very possible that you have done well on 1200 but that…

Ugh I completely understand how you feel, its incredibly frustrating to work so hard and feel so proud of yourself and that you're really getting somewhere to then completely lose control. It is a completely legitimate problem and it needs to be dealt with properly but it's not easy. I think there are several things that…

By whose definition? This sexist rubbish....

Yes and yes it is dramatic, a couple of sizes 40dd to maybe a 36-34d - my old bras are huge in the cup and back and its very noticable (to me) I've lost over 90lbs.

Wow you can really notice a difference. I've been doing some JM workouts and can notice the same sort of definition that you've got on your stomach. Well done it sounds like you've worked really hard!

troll ololol

Lots of celebs like Rachel Bilson

Oooh this is very interesting and worth bearing in mind for me. I started at 261 and while weight has never poured off and weight loss hasn't dramatically slowed down as yet, it has lessened and I am preparing myself for it being much slower in the future.

They specifically mentioned bacon.

Actually different cultures differ on this and so it's not really a nature but a nurture thing. For example, the underlying assumption in the West is slimmer = better health and therefore people tend to be more attracted to smaller sizes. That's without even getting started on the media's influence on the whole thing. I…

Lots of people do find it useful as is evident in this post. You are, of course, welcome to disregard. I don't see this as one of those threads moaning at what others are doing, those annoy me too. This is people offering genuine advice and I, for one, appreciate it.

Preach it! Testiffffyyyy

I'm so sorry that you feel so low. I completely understand how you feel as I've been there myself. First things first, you haven't gained a huge amount of the weight back so I wouldn't get panicked about that. The fact is that you have done brilliantly to lose that amount of weight, it's a huge achievement and you deserve…

The best thing you can do to combat your BED is to eat plenty of good, filling food. So you need a good sized breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks in between to ensure your blood sugar is stable and you don't get too hungry. If you avoid eating you will trigger a binge, that's how our bodies work. Also, if you do binge…

Yep. Men are weird in this respect...where they seem to have this sense of entitlement to date whichever woman they want regardless of how much more attractive she is. And the superiority over women. Ugh.

People are so annoying. She's probably just jealous.

I completely agree. I can testify to having expeienced gallstones, hair loss and loss of my period following a VLCD.

Mine do this it's just the floor level. I keep mine in exactly the same spot measured by the line of my bathroom tiles going through the middle of the logo lol.

I see people say this but actually hard luck you don't have a monopoly on your gym.

Nope, never the solution.

I've never really been thin for any great length of time. My weight has always been up and down so the longest I've spent slim is a few months. I completely understand.

Oh well. That's their business. I'll never understand why people get so involved in what other people are doing.

Perfect! Bravo.
