I live in Birmingham so not near you but i'm in the uk if you want to add me

Welcome back.i also struggle with depression kicking me when im down, i just try and imagine the new 'me' or talk to someone. hope you manage to stay on track this time =) keep it up

dont cut it out all at once especially if you drink it a lot. its a bit like trying to give up chocolate or smoking. best way is reducing it day by day. like if your used to 5 glasses have 5, 4 so on...

wheat/egg/dairy, citrus fruits, seeded fruits, some veg all make my tummy go mad. might be worth going to your gp and getting tested for intollerances and IBS

thankies hun, thats the most helpful comment so far =) luckily they were cheap so doesnt matter if they dont get used lol

I already see a dietician and the diet ive been put on has basically no fruit or veg apart from red onion, peppers and mushrooms. And bananas when i can get them. Im asking purely for the ANTI OXIDANT properties, i dont care about the weight loss side

As i already said i wouldnt be taking them for WEIGHT LOSS id be taking them because i cant eat fruit.

have you tried mixing up your exercises? sounds silly but your body eventually gets used to certain exercises and they stop having the same affect. it might be worth trying something different. i do a lot of walking, so i mix it up with srength and yoga occassionally or swimming when i can afford it, or i walk up hill…

i kinda agree with lajuice7 on this one. most 'diets' on here seem to be starvation diets. which is great for quick weight loss of water weight, only trouble is it all comes back afterwards with interest fat. i did a bit of research when i did my nurse training and there is no confirmed medical research that says that…

i wish i knew how to make it better hun. im in a simular boat tbh. no matter how hard i try i struggle to lose weight. have you spoken to your gp at all? you sound very down and depressed which isnt a good road to go down (ive been a sufferer for 12 years so i should know lol) is there anyway of talking to your husband…

i dont care what someone looks like as long as we help each other who cares

try and resist it, if you still want it after that have it the next day, but a tiny slice

I have really bad PCOS and i take Metformin twice a day to help with the sugar balance because otherwise i pass out a lot and its really annoying, its also good to get a blood test to check your insullin levels as if they are too high just store as fat. So far i've lost 30 pounds on my diet, and even my doctor was amazed…

hey! i have simular situation, im 24 and have been married a year on Sat. I love my husband to bits dont get me wrong but he adores take outs. And when i say adore he had 5 KFCs in one week and two of those were on the same day! He also doesnt put any weight on. He only really has any fat on his tummy because he used to…

thanks for the advice guys :D spoke to my health trainer monday and she said im pushing myself too much, so going to cut it down. as long as i do 30-40mins a day, 4 days a week thats enough, and then gentle exercise for the rest like yoga or walking to post office and back

i have a Chronic pain disorder which leaves me in agony a lot of the time, so exercise is difficult (as well as various other medical conditions). I also get very weak, and im sick a lot so my appitite is always up and down. It is one of these things a bit like arthritus that can be fine for ages and then flare suddenly…

thanks for the suggestions everyone :) looks like i've got some yummy recipes to try nom nom nom

lol a big meal for me might not be the same for you :P but normally i have Breakfast: 3 wheat free crackerbreads with olive oil spread or porridge and lactose free milk Lunch: Wheat free brown roll, olive oil spread and 3 pieces of ham Dinner: Chicken with either tomato puree and mixed veg, or boiled white rice Evening:…

hope everything goes well hun, congrats :)

hi Jolene, dont be scared hun :) its pretty friendly in here. you'll be fine

My husband only eats once a day. Not because we dont have food he just doesnt get hungry often. He tried eating more often due to his medication needing to be taken with food, but he finds if he tries to eat anything before 1-2pm he just throws it back up, doctors arent worried about it, so nor are we. I think everyone is…

Interesting my husband is Autistic and has the opposite issue, he has mainly loose stools....weird

Fats as far as i know i'm fine with, i do cut it off meat though, and my butter and oil are all low fat veg ones or olive. As for herbs and spices i love them. I have a rotary spice rack filled with all sorts =)

I did a elimination diet with a dietician and the don't foods were what i have trouble with. My body just can't tollerate them and i either get really sick and throw up, have dreadful upset stomachs, or pain so severe its put me in A&E a few times. Citrus fruits are the worst not only do they give me awful cramps and…

thanks for the recipes they sound yummy =) may have to give them a try

you can get dairy free parmasan from most free from sections now, its quite nice

Heaviest = 306.6 lbs Lightest = 224 lbs (I'm 5 ft 9, so anything lower and i look ill, even though my BMI says i should be like 168 lbs. I'd look like a skelington. Used to be this weight when i was about 14-16 and was size 10 but looked thin and boney) Now = 280 lbs Goal = 224 lbs

I know a few people like that, i'm the other way round, i think i'm a lot bigger than i actually am. So i buy clothes sometimes 2 sizes too big and they look frumpy on me or swamp me. Don't get me wrong i'm like a size 20-22, but i sometimes buy size 24+ clothes. Our perception of ourselves is very odd sometimes
