OMG that must have been awful, glad the wee one is ok, hope your bruises mend soon!

I can see a great change, well done, your efforts are all worthwhile, loving those cheekbones honey!!!

This made me giggle, my mother told me that too!! :smile:

Boy shorts for me, and most have Elmo, Cookie etc on them... beware the day I wear the Oscar the Grouch ones, stay out of my way lol. All fine until we had a male friend help move bedroom furniture last week, he got my knicker drawer and thought it was my OH's since there was no lacy floss in sight... :blushing:

Hate the word diet, this is a change in lifestyle, a journey to health, and certainly NOT a diet!! :wink:

Go for it, think how proud you will feel when you've done it! Wish I could come and do it too, it sounds fantastic!!!

I'm still a crabby madam for a couple of days though, ask my OH!

I noticed this after only a couple of weeks, I think it's the increased water and reduction in salt that's helping me, WONDERFUL side effect of getting healthier!

Scissors and my man (he's a chef!!)

I've been looking at sugar intake for a couple of weeks, I've decided if it's from vegetables or fruit then I'm not worried about it, just looking at the rest and trying to cut it back if I can. I have a genetic form of diabetes, resulting in blood sugars that are always higher than normal, I reckoned in my health journey…

I'm on every day, and have a while to go to get to my goal, love to offer support and encouragement, please add me :smile:

Well done on the 19 pound loss!! I started to get back into exercising by going out for a walk in my lunch break, the first week the weather wasn't too bad, then the second week it turned, somehow I found myself getting into waterproofs and still going for my walk. I'm in Scotland so we get pretty mixed weather, I have not…

You look fabulous, though you had a lovely glow about you in the before pic too, great work, well done!!

Well done, and that IS a biggie, you did good!!! :bigsmile:

I have a favourite pair of Hilfiger trousers, I bought them in TK Max but they were too small for me, then I lost weight when my father sadly passed away, and I wore those trousers for a while, then the comfort eating piled the pounds back on, could not bring myself to throw the trousers out, I reckon I only have around 20…

Guilty! I had: 1 McVities Galaxy cake bar 1 Chocolate Squashy Cockroach 1 Chocolate Eyeball with popping candy inside BUT.... I pedaled like a loony on stationary bike for 30 minutes afterwards!

Hiya Linda I've been here for a couple of months, I'm certainly no expert, however, back when I started my calorie counting I was trying to eat less of the same foods I ate before, which was leaving me tired out. I have since changed to include loads more fruit and vegetables, I eat a tasty plateful and every meal, a…

E, and rather than use the hoover to break it I would stomp on it myself = CRUMBS!!!!! well able to be sooked up by the hoover!

Duncan's Hazelnut (made in Scotland and awfy tasty!) Milky Way Cadbury Finger of Fudge Dairy Milk Black Forest Dairy Milk Caramel Dairy Milk Fruit n Nut Yorkie Raisin and Biscuit Not in any order, and now I'm craving a Yorkie!!! :bigsmile:

I don't mind at all, my ex-husband liked the long hair so I reckoned it was time for a trim :smile: the NOW pic is my own hair colour, reckon I may be changing it at the weekend :wink:

Wow, thanks, your comments have really lifted my spirits, must remember to tell my hairdresser too!! I have a way to go with my health and weight loss journey but I'm going to make it this time! Thanks again, I don't think I would be feeling this way without the support from MFP!

Thanks everyone, your kind works will help keep me going, to get to healthy BMI I have 20 pounds to go ;-)

My Dad had bad Rheumatoid Arthritis, couldn't eat any tomatoes as they always caused a flare-up. Oddly enough Heinz Tomato Soup didn't cause a flare up though... He found that salmon, chicken and other lean proteins helped, and although he considered yogurt to be less than manly, it helped too. Carrots, broccoli,…

People that are heckling you are probably ashamed that they can't achieve what you already have, well done, keep running and be proud of your achievements. People with small minds, sadly, prefer to insult and upset others rather than face their own inadequacies!!

You have done a fabulous job, well done, your efforts are so worthwhile, loving the reward tattoo!

Mine is open, have a peek, add me as a friend too, I've been here two months and it's really working for me!

Yes, only just, 41 this year, been here a couple of month and feel it's working well so far, Feel free to add me, I like to offer support and encouragement.

It's so hard to take that step to see a professional and discuss what we consider to be a personal failing, however, mental health is talked about so much more freely now, there is no longer so much of a taboo about it. We are our own worst critics, and expect people will think the worst of us, that's our own mind doing…

I'm tea-total, and I used to get all the comments, I now volunteer to be the designated driver, but my friends all know my rule, just one comment about having just one drink and they are walking home!!!
