Magnesium citrate powder can help with sleeping AND constipation.

Yep - the absence of 20lb really shows. Good job!

Try rolling your foot over a 'spiky massage ball' - it's the size of a golf ball and cheap to buy online. After 10 months of waking up crippled, this cleared my pain in less than a week. You have to put pressure on the most painful areas - but not to the point of passing out! Also, be aware of which shoes you wear that…

I suffered with debilitating sciatica pain for a year. I had three steroid injections which brought temporary relief. I was stoic until my two smallest toes started curling under and I couldn't feel them. My surgeon called 'time' and scheduled my op that month. When I came round I was amazed at the instant absence of…

Well done you! Your example encourages me to focus for half a year - I'd love to have such impressive results.

I voted.

Your perseverance is inspiring and the results impressive. Well done.

Logging? Isn't that what they DO in Alaska?

Applause. I think the slimmer you is a more colourful you as well!

I run and lift but I also love my weighted hula hoop. Walking, turning and squatting while hooping require coordination and concentration. 20 minutes and I'm done, but I like it and it does make my heart beat faster.

You maths bod you.

^this. I also take a Chromium supplement which is supposed to help with cravings. But eating low carb means you can increase fat which really hammers those cravings. For me, sweet things are an addiction - once I start on the chocolate croissants or Haagen Dazs I really cannot stop. But after two years eating LCHF I get a…

I had a worrying few months of hair loss around my menopause - my plug hole looked very like yours! But I'm over it now - without intervention. You can check if all will be well by feeling your scalp for the short regrowth.

Your stats improvements are impressive. It's a horrible life stage when we lose our Mum but you used your loss to reflect and learn about yourself - and then put in the hard work to bring such dramatic change. Well done.

My daughter went GF and recommended me to try it. So I gave it a go for a month. A consequence was suddenly eating low carb (not ultra low) so I upped my fats. After that 30 day experiment I just stayed with GF, LCHF, not just because I feel more energetic, sleep better and am never bloated but because my (post 5 babies…

I am SO sorry - you are having a really tough time right now. Nothing breaks our heart and dominates our thinking more than when one of our children in crisis. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make it all better for you but instead I can remind you that you will not be satisfied down the line if you go all…

A triumph! Well done.

You've done an amazing job - well done!

I'm 54, married with 5 children and 3 granddaughters. I live just north of London, UK. My current weight is about 180lb. This time last year I was 145lb but a house move and job insecurity got me out of a healthy eating routine. Job situation is now sorted. I've used MFP in the past and know that it works if I diarise. My…

Hope I'm not too late for an invite - I started what I thought would be a lonely journey on 1 February but it would be great to have some accountability.
