Yesterday started off really well. Then for some reason when still feeling hungry after lunch I ate a whole box of weight watcher biscuits. I still ended the day 100 calories under, as I fell asleep on the sofa at dinner time and woke up starving at 11pm. As it was so late I only had soup. But I went to bed really hungry…

I'm here. Feeling tired today. Just going through my Hairy Dieters recipe books for a few new ideas before going to Morrisons.

Hi :)

Due to my fillings yesterday being quite bad ones, I felt quite unwell for a few hours after the dentist. I didn't make it to aquafit. I had a lovely stew t 8pm and the other easter egg. But I was still under my calories and had a good intake of fruit, veg and protein, so I am happy. Today is the first day all week that is…

Thank you :)

I totally understand what you are saying, when I joined the gym I was nervous about being seen both in the gym and in the pool. This was made worse by the fact I go to a gym near work where a lot of my work colleagues also go. But I can honestly say I have not experienced any negativity. I have a couple of male colleagues…

My first mini goal achieved - 1st 3/4lb lost at this morning official weigh in :D

ObesityWarrior - That could so easily have been me that wrote your last post!

I did it, I've reached my first stone lost goal. Today's weight 300.75lb :D

That is still something I am trying to figure out. I need to start living and not just surviving. I have a new niece (3 months old) and I want to be the cool Auntie Claire that I was to my oldest niece 20 years ago. I want to be able to run around after her and play with her. I also love reading, watching films and crime…

I have been overweight most of my life. Two events in childhood turned it from me being chubby to me overeating. The first was my parents divorcing when I was 9 and the second was giving up tap and ballet when I was 12. In high school I was the biggest girl in my year. The first time I tried to do something about it was…

I have been going to aquafit twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday evening. I still find it really hard, but it is not as hard as when I started back in February. A couple more weeks and I am thinking of going into the gym part and doing some weights. Lose skin is something I really worry about and resistance training is…

I am in the UK and we measure in Stones and Pounds. There are 14lbs in a stone. I have currently lost 13lb, so my next mini goal is just 1lb away - my first stone. I will then focus on each half a stone. I also have the goal of 10%, which is 2 stone 6lbs, as that is the point that you are supposed to be able to feel the…

Present and accountable :)

Yesterday was so so. I was under my calories (just) but I did have a cadburys easter egg. I chose the smallest one in the shop though and it was just the egg no filling. I bought two and the other one is in my the boot of my car. I don't think I will have enough calories for it today, so it is staying there. So far today…

Name: Claire Age: 41 Highest weight: 315lb Last weigh in : 302lb First goal: 10% (283lb) Goal weight:160lb Years of yo yo dieting: 24 Am I willing to log in here daily and be accountable to this group ?: yes (memory allowing)

I have to admit I do get weighed most mornings. But I only record the weight on a Friday. My heaviest weight was 315lb at the beginning of January. I am currently on day 24 of actually trying and this morning I weighed 302lb.

Hi, I am currently on day 23 this time! My heaviest ever weight was 313, I am currently 302. I have a long way to go, need to loose half my body weight. Any stories of how people have achieved that would be great.

Hi Nikion901 I am in the UK, so don't need to worry about insurance. I have a metre and test regularly as I am on insulin. I agree I do feel the worst post meals and feel my best pre meal. If only I could stop eating! I am getting much better control of my levels, to the point I have had a couple of hypos. But it is every…

Hi, I am 41, 42 in 3 weeks. I have a lot of weight to lose, half my body weight. I will send a friend request.

I am antidepressants. Been on these ones for a while though, a lot longer than the extreme tiredness.

I have had my thyroid and anemia checked recently and they were ok. I have more blood tests in a couple of weeks. Currently my exercise is going to aquafit twice a week. Its that vicious circle of not having enough energy to exercise even though exercise if supposed to give you energy. I drink constantly throughout the…

That is amazing. You have succeeded at exactly what I am failing at! Congratulations :)

Hi deejay89, I am in a similar position. Not on a pump, but taking insulin. I am very overweight and it is just so hard to lose it and also deal with diabetes. Please feel free to add me.

Thank you, I have managed to change it now. Its a shame that the previous days don't stay the same once you have submitted that day, means I can't untilise the tool completely with the charts and history etc. Oh well, loosing the weight is the most important thing :happy:
