well done! That's amazing.

Great to hear you are being so positive - that will get you through the rest of your weight loss journey. Congrats on a great start so far x

Fantastic news - a year and a half plateau is very long - but at least you didn't gain you managed to maintain. Bet you are so excited to see the scales moving again - and hubby too! Good luck with the rest of your weight loss journey.

Thanks again - I have done that the last couple of days and it is definitely easier! I am beginning to feel hungry again which is a strange feeling after all those months of not really getting hunger pains!

Thanks for the advice - I will try that - I am finding it VERY hard to eat 1800 cals the last couple of days!

I have just come back from my zumba class. I currently weigh 139 lbs and my zumba class lasted one hour. I used my HRM and burnt 478 calories. I was amazed at the burn rate. I have done two zumba DVD's at home and burnt just under 400 in 45 mins (again according to my polar HRM). Hope this helps?

Happy mothers day to you too! Yep my day will go well over. My son baked me a cake so I can't exactly tell him (7 years old) that "sorry can't eat that I am on a diet" - so I WILL eat it - then my kids told my husband to take us to the Indian for dinner because they know I love it and it will save me cooking. Will log it -…

Well done to you - it's hard sometimes to say "no" but just focus on your goals. Like the poster above said - don't forget you can still treat yourself once in a while!

Fantastic - you are a true inspiration - congratulations - good luck with the rest of your weight loss journey.

Happy birthday - and losing all that weight will no doubt help add many more to come!

Wonderful achievement - congratulations - all that hard work has paid off!

WOW - just fan-tast-ic! Well done - very inspiring - thanks for sharing

congrats - that must have been so disheartening for you - but good for you that you still carried on. Keep going you are doing great.

I know it's hard but this isn't a "quick fix" - you didn't put the weight on overnight and it won't come off that fast either. It has took me 6 months to lose 14 lbs! But the slower it comes off then the more likely it will stay off. Don't get me wrong - I get frustrated with the slow loss, but just keep telling myself to…

Hi there. I would love to join please. Finding it hard to find em2wl friends. Fed up with seeing people eat 1200 cals or less and others saying what a great job they are doing. Thanks.

Just looked at Tesco website and they say that a portion of their brown rice (75g) is equivalent to 265 kcal. (Couldn't look at the Asda one as haven't got cookies enabled on laptop - but the brands can't be too far out.)

I have the same confusion. I have a box of Uncle Bens white long grain rice - it says 125g rice grain is for two people (that's dry). On the front of the box where the nutritional label is it says one portion of 62.5g is equal to 215 kcal. But I think that is uncooked weight. When I compare it to Uncle Bens express white…

That's great news - well done - good work.

That is awesome! Fab weight loss - keep up the good work!

That's fantastic - well done. All that hard work has paid off. Good luck with the rest of your weight loss.

<===== The picture of me in my swimming costume on holiday - that finally did it for me. Just knew if I don't sort this weight out now I will just end up bigger and bigger.

WOW that is amazing - well done on your weight loss.

WOW what an amazing transformation in such a short time. Well done.

I'm 5'4 too and currently weigh 140 - I have lost 14lbs which seemed to take forever - but want to lose another 7 or so. I have recently upped my cals to just over 1500 (was at 1200 then 1300 for months then I plateaued) - the weight is now coming off again - only half pound per week but then when there isn't too much left…

<<<<========== mine is here - still an ongoing work in progress - but I am getting there slowly.

That is fantastic - not bragging at all - shout it from the rooftops; I would! Glad you have come out the other end of a tough time still determined and motivated. Good luck with the rest of your weight loss journey.

I'm from Essex down South. I log on everyday and am as supportive as I can to my friends. Feel free to add me.

Congratulations - you look like a totally different person. Well done on losing all that weight - all that hard work and commitment has paid off!

Fantastic - you are doing great - well done

You don't even look like the same person - you look about half the size you were! You have done fantastically. Can you see the difference looking at the photos? I don't see myself looking different in the mirror - but in photos I can see small changes. You should be very proud of what you have achieved. I think you may…
