hi there not only is water an aid to weightloss as everyone says but its great for hydrating your skin, something that many people with a good few pounds to lose need to keep the skins elacticity. Trust me i have lost over 40lbs and am half way to my goal i have done this slowly and have been keeping my fluid levels up and…

Thanks Guys!!!! I am over the moon at losing enough to be just "overweight" rather than "obese"!! I also have a wii fit and am encouraged everytime I step on it and my wii mii gets a bit slimmer!!! I have been doing this weight loss thing since January and have been trying to do it really slowly (no more than 2lbs per…

yes today I managed to reach it, I am finally out of the obese camp and have moved into being overweight!! I am so pleased its hard work and every pound that comes off is a mini celebration but at 53 (ish) pounds lost I feel so much healthier! does anyone have any suggestions for what to do to stop getting loose skin on…

I did as well! But I try to allow myself one weekend off per month to enjoy my junk cravings! my weigh in day is saturday........... i then get a whole week to be good and hit the gym before i have to weigh again :happy: and i am still losing the weight gradually, at about 1 or 2lbs per week which is the best way so i cant…

OMG i so have had 2 to go out and buy new clothes.... i have lost 44lbs so far and evrything i own is waaaay to big, i walked into a shop and picked up a biggish size and was amazed that i was 2 sizes smaller!!!! I am only halfway to my goal and i am looking forward to the next new set of clothes that i buy when i hit…

I had to out and buy new clothes as the old ones were 3 sizes too big for me. To treat myself i am going to have my hair cut into a new…

hooray 25lbs lost and only 61lbs to go.......I will be my target weight before Christmas I am sooooooooooooooooo pleased with myself i have also lost 4 inches from my waist 3 inches from my hips :) just had to tell some1

Thank you to all, my boys (the two gorgeous animals that are in my picture - obviously when they were pups) have been my constant companions through my low points and are currently at my feet under the desk. I really turned a corner the other day and have started to believe that 'if he can't see what he's left behind,…

I completely agree with all that you are saying Banks - everybody is different, I shift my calories constantly - to keep my body from going into starvation mode. I also listen to my body - if I have consumed something high in cals but not in volume (substance) and I am hungry later I will eat something low in calories…

Wow I would love to be 130lbs! I want to be 165lbs again (and I was a us size 8) maybe this is your correct weight - if you are working out a lot you are creating muscle and its proven that that is heavier than fat - get the measuring tape out and check - also get a body fat analyser they are great and even if your not…

My whole perspective now is " don't get angry - get gorgeous" :mad: I think I had hoped that he would see the error in his ways but after a conversation last night (things took a nosedive) I realized that he wasn't the man I thought him to be. I went back to work yesterday (after 3 days off completely devastated) I last…

Hey there all thank you for all the support, i know i'm not the first to experience this (and definitely not the last) but its good to know that I have somewhere to, as we Brits say "vent my spleen" I have little or no friends and very poor self confidence now, something I had in buckets when I started the relationship. I…

he there all of you thank you so much for the messages of support - i know its going to be hard I guess its still all a bit raw at the moment - he was the love of my life and my best friend - we were dieting together and he was the person I turned to when I needed motivation. 6 years seems to be such a long time to throw…

Hi there, I have a knee and ankle problem and know where you are coming from I have (actually thats had now - different story) a nintendo wii and used to go on the sports package that it comes with and do the boxing for about 30 mins a day - its great fun, completely tiring but gives you one hell of a work out!!!!! I would…

Well a month in to my "new me" challenge to shed 80lbs and my boyfriend has decided that he doesn't love me "the way he should" and therefore he has thrown away our whole relationship and I have moved out of our home and I am sleeping on my mums couch with our 2 dogs.:brokenheart: :sad: I need some support, I thought I…

hi all thanks for the support, to answer the questions - I am on 1340 cals per day - I eat up to my calories every day - my secret is that every 4th / 5th day I eat 1800-2000 calories then back to 1340 - i had a friend who lost A LOT of weight using this technique and thought I would give it a try - it works for me :happy:…

So I am (relatively) new, been going 4 weeks now and have lost 12lbs! :happy: only another 70lbs to go wish me luck
