I agree with all of the above...my diet aid was firstly commitment, determination, will power, less calories per day and more...lots more exercise! and the weight began to shift. Don't forget to log everything! Hope this helps. All the best:smile:

Hilarious:laugh: I so know what you mean...I'm right there with you!!!

When you get a good answer...LET ME KNOW! I too am struggling with sweets and cookies:blushing:

A...maz...ing, I salute you!!!:smile:

NO... NO... NO! not a good idea...your body will go into starvation mode and begin to hold on to anything you eat. Easiest way to lose weight is eat well and exercise. It's as simple as that! ...however...(lots of discipline and motivation required:smile: )

I work in the school environment, up and down the school corridors all day, though, I would not call that exercise as it does not cause my heart rate to increase. Your heart rate should increase when you exercise and you should be using more energy than usual. Hope this helps.:smile:

Fantastic job done! looking at your dates, have you lost that 116lb since Dec 2012? if so that is even more fabulous!!!!

Load of rubbish... I have been drinking green tea for years, not because of the health properties, but because I love the taste of green tea and I am afraid to say it did not supress my appetite :-(. Lovely tea though :-)

Well done you...what an amazing job you have done! evidence of sheer hard work, willpower, determination, discipline and much more!

wow...fab job done!!! :happy:

you look a....mazing, what a difference and you look so much younger. You are an inspiration!!!

what a difference!!! you look fab!

Body Pump is fab! you will see a difference if you do it consistently. Spinning classes are great for weight loss also. Go for it girl! :smile:

:smile: The pies look sooooo yummy!!!

WOW! you look fab, well done!:happy:

Let me tell you girl...for years I have suffered with bad PMT, as the years went by it became worse with heavy bleeding, After years of going back and forth to doc's, they reluctantly, ( I say reluctantly, because doc initially told me I was too young to be starting the menopause...but they realised they were very wrong!)…

MFP will tell you that if you don't eat enough, your body will go into starvation mode, eventually messing with your metabolism, then causing weight gain! eat girl! as long as you are eating your daily calories and exercising, you will still be burning even when you are sleeping!

I've been where you are many times! but what I want to encourage you with, Burkyoung (the first reply) has said it all and said it well! :-) :flowerforyou:

Amazing!!! many congratulations on your success. You are an inspiration!:smile:

WELL DONE...YOU LOOK FAB!

I record every morsel that passes my lips, if I don't, I am only fooling myself, there would be no point in using MFP. MFP friends encourage you when you are doing well and when you are not doing so well. So...why would you lie???:smile:

Wow!...absolutely fantastic...you look great

My first weigh in tomorrow...hope I have lost something, I know I have eaten better than I have in a while and certainly done more exercise last week than I have in the past 11 months!:wink:

I have just started back at the gym, had surgery last december, then knee pain started in spring, then back pain in August! so just have not been able to go. However...prior to all of this, I have trained on and off for many years. What works best for me, is to train 3 times a week cardio and weights. (including cardio…

KEEP USING THIS SITE!!! last year I lost 28lbs, I joined a weight loss club which had a site like this. Everyday without fail, I logged what I ate, this helped me to keep track of what I was eating and calories etc. As soon as I stopped going to the club and more importantly, as soon as I stopped logging my daily intake,…
