That's the whole point of this, I've learnt what to cut out, I've learnt how to maintain weight rather than lose. I'm not on the capsules, but they're not a diet pill, they contain nothing but the essence of 27 fruit and veg, they are more to boost energy levels, improve hair, skin, nails etc - they are backed by…

I weigh 267lbs, and am on day 4 of the 30 Day Shred. Although the first 2 days were pretty hard going, I got through them ok and was still feeling well enough to continue the next day and so forth. Although I am obese, I am also relatively fit as I practically walk everywhere and I have a 15 month old to run around, but, I…

I have over 100 to go and am starting again after a year of very bad habits developing and alot of weight gain after such a good loss! I'll add you and support as much as needed!

Almost identical to me, it's been exactly a year since I stopped trying, I piled back on the 22lbs I'd lost through MFP, (plus the 19lbs Id lost during pregnancy!), so needless to say I'm starting in a worse position this time than I was. But, I'm on a new programme, feeling positive and looking for friends to support and…

is this an app?

I've been without a smart phone for so long, but have just treated myself to one so will be downloading this for sure, thanks :)

Just wanted to say - our babies share the same birthday! :) (4th Oct) Also a c-section birth, hope you're recovery is a little better than mine! I developed gallstones in pregnancy, then when he was 6 weeks old was back in hospital for 3 days due to pancreatitis. Having my gallbladder removed the week before christmas -…

My baby is 2 months old, and its the most amazing feeling in the world! He's just started smiling and we're SO close to getting a little giggle out of him. Loving every minute :) Strangely enough, I lost weight in pregnancy, after having my little one I was actually smaller than I was pre-pregnancy and could fit into old…

My scar is 2 months old now, I've been back to work after 5 weeks. It's still a little tender and I have little sensation around the immediate scar, it gets real itchy sometimes too! The tummy hang is still there, I'm hoping that's gonna go with lots of dieting! Also, the swelling, I had that for about 2 weeks but it did…

Week 1, Nov 26th: 235.4 lbs (week: 0, total: 0) Week 2, Dec 3rd: 234 lbs (week: 1.4 lbs, total:1.4) Week 3, Dec 10th: Week 4, Dec 17th: Week 5, Dec 24th: Final, Dec 31st: Not the loss I'd hoped for, but it's a start (and I did have a full weekend off, so not bad, considering!) :)

Week 1, Nov 26th: 235.4 lbs (week: 0, total: 0) Week 2, Dec 3rd: Week 3, Dec 10th: Week 4, Dec 17th: Week 5, Dec 24th: Final, Dec 31st: I've already lost 3lb since my last weigh in, off to a good start! Good Luck everyone!

I WAS gonna get into a debate on here, but then realised, what the hell? Somehow, even something as jolly and happy as Christmas has been stripped down, dissected and had the fun taken right on out of it. Are we not allowed to enjoy anything anymore?

Hi all, My names Mikayla, at my last weigh in I weighed in at 238, so 9lbs would bump me into the 220's, which would be realll nice before Christmas! Having so many people in this challenge together should hopefully make life so much easier! We can do it!

I'm in this with you, feel free to add me, anyone! Will be slightly harder as I've not been ABLE to eat anything fatty due to gallstones and pancreatitis, but having my gallbladder removed the week before Christmas so plan on having a little indulgence over Christmas! That being said though, I'm still up for giving this a…

Thats awful, I hope that the MFP community can pick you back up! I know that I, for one, have suffered from such comments in the past, but following a baby is just cruel! I had mine 7 weeks ago now and have so far lost 10lbs, keep yourself in a positive frame of mind, focus on your new baby and don't surround yourself with…

I don't know if you're english or american or if this is a strictly English thing, but we have Slimming world - exactly the same as WW, and they do cater to pregnant women.

My BMI was high before the pregnancy, so my doctor told me to try and maintain my weight throughout the pregnancy. Turned out, I actually lost 19lb in total; I didn't do anything different to my knowledge, I wasn't trying to diet, I had just changed my ways and was walking about alot more than I used to. My baby boy was…

LOL! The pain in the hoo - ha thing got me good and proper in my pregnancy! Toward the end, as it was getting worse, every day I was convinced I was going into labour! As it turned out I developed gallstones so was induced the day before my due date, he got distressed in labour, their was no dilation after 15 hours so…

That list did make me chuckle, and I can relate to near enough every single one of them. But I definitely miss feeling my little boy's hiccups, and his kicks. I actually enjoyed the labour part, purely because of the utter sense of joy when you're handed your baby for the first time! I miss seeing him move when I'm in the…

Thanks, this is all I wanted to know - I'm not seeking medical advice, I have an appointment with my doctor Friday for that. But yes, my doctor was stupid enough not to tell me, which is why I had a look online before doing anything and have this appointment Friday. NHS for you!

I've heard England may not be too far behind!

This wasnt a topic posted to seek medical advice, i was simply wanting to gain an insight into peoples experiences with it. Being only 22, alot of my friends frequently go on nights out, and all my family are drinking over christmas so i was just wondering what people found for them as i am planning on waiting 6 months…

God I can sympathise with this! I had pancreatitis over the weekend due to gallstones and am scheduled for surgery on 16th December. Needless to say, being a week before christmas I'm a little dubious, but after the pain I;'ve just been through, I cant wait! My doctor has said that things can go completely back to normal…

I was lucky with my induction, my waters were bulging so they were able to break them and I didn't need any drugs to start it off..but then after 15 hours there was no dilation and his heartrate was dropping everytime I had a contraction...turned out he was face up and back to back so I couldn't have had a normal water…

Oikos is amazing, that's all the needs to be said!

Scarborough, North East England...But I'm an American girl at heart, born in Louisiana :)

It's not been easy but thankfully, I was blessed with a good baby! He's quite happy being in his pram so walks are becoming part of our routine. The Wii Fit, not so easy, but there's enough hours in the day to steal one! Thanks though, I'm hoping I have the motivation to stick at it!

I developed gallstones in my recent pregnancy, and am still waiting to see the consultant on the 21st of this month. Two weeks ago I was in agony with the pain, and had to call the doctor out, and turned out my gallbladder had become infected, and was prescribed antibiotics. She also told me that I had to go on a…

I wish I'd had more sense to do this before trying for my baby. Luckily for me, it didn't hinder me getting pregnant, but I did find that my weight did influence my birthing options. For as long as I can remember I've wanted a water birth, and was adamant on that! Unfortunately, I was 12lb over the weight limit for that…

My trick? My finicky boy lol, I just went off EVERYTHING so wasn't eating a great deal at all! That and getting out and walking around. I only managed that til I was around 6 months though as he was back to back to me so the back pain was a bit crippling! He was born on his due date though, thankfully! I'm actually smaller…
