I used to moan if any men would give me a pervy stare, and then the weight piled on and I moaned NO ONE was giving me a pervy stare :P So it really does make you feel good after all - glad it's working for you too! xx

That's great! I tend to blow it when I around other people- I feel anti social if I turn down thier food or what have you, so I shall be taking a leaf out of your book from now and and planning ahead with healthy and tasty alternatives!

I tend to weight every day or every other day in the morning. I like to see if I am on a downward trend throughout the week, and if I am not, I can then adjust my workouts and food accordingly. I then take an official weight on the weekend usually. However, I have hit plateau for the past few weeks- so haven't bothered to…

I try not to because if I have a cheat day it can sometimes turn into a cheat week. And that's what I've been doing the past week! Today is my re-start and I hit the gym again tomorrow!

Being a student, it has been very difficult to not get drawn in with the drinking! It tends to go with the whole university experience! I have managed to lose however despite having a blow-out maybe once or twice a month. I used to drink an awful lot, perhaps a bottle of wine plus bar drinks twice a week (because we used…

I'm not that sure about the accuracy on here. I always use the cross trainer- the gym would say I have burned 500 calories, whilst MFP say I would have burnt about 700. So, wherever possible, I would use what the machine at the gym tells you. If you are able to, key in your weight and age to the machine as well, as that is…

Thanks again for all the advice ( I did reply but didn't quote- despite being young I am useless with techno gizmos!) Quorn is a veggie substitute for meat. Some of the stuff is REALLY tasty (some tastes a bit like cardboard) But I do find they are very very filling, and as it is for veggies, it packs in an awful lot of…

Thanks very much for the advice ^_^ I hope I have been doing this healthily, I have been doing this since December and sticking to a few workouts a week and eating well- it's just lately food isn't having the same filling effect, which is odd, seeing as I have been doing this for five months now, on the same calories! I…

I like ot think I am doing this the healthy way, I haven't been crash dieting,just making the right choices when it comes to eating. I am usually fine on 1,200 calories a day (usually about 50 or so under) as I eat a lot of Quorn - which tends to fill me up. It's just lately, food hasn't been filling me up the way it used…

Oh no no, no chance I am pregnant.. don't plan on that for a long time to come! ^_^

Thankyou very much- just frustrating after losing so much weight and being still deemed as disgusting and fat etc. However I try not to let it get to me anymore, for every nice person there are several buttheads it would seem .. just have to take the nice with the nasty and all get on! ^_^

I would not call myself vegetarian, but I have recently been eating a lot of Quorn. It's really tasty (some of it- some tastes like old cardboard) and is very low in calories. For example, one southern style burger is 119 cals! Add a small veggie medly .. about 40 cals, maybe a bit of salad and a small amount of low fat…

Ahoy! Good luck with the time ahead! ^_^

My goodness you look absolutely amazing! Stunning! I bet you feel awesome! If not- YOU SHOULD! ^_^

I tend to watch music videos, something to keep my eyes focused on rather than the calorie counter and time! Including: Foo Fighters Prodigy The Bug Hairy Diamond M.I.A NERD Kings of Leon New Young Pony Club Milanese Nine Inch Nails Paramore Red Hot Chilli Peppers and some kpop: 소녀시대 티아라 2NE1 2AM/2PM After School

Do not take it to heart- although no matter what we say, of course you are going to, it's a natural emotion to go through. No matter how many positive things people have said to you, they can all be dashed in one hurtful comment. This person probably couldn't even see you, he was in a dang car! Some people feel the need to…

I am not a vegetarian but I have found Quorn is a life saver in terms of diet. One regular sized chicken burger is around 119 calories, it has little fat, carbs and salt content. Today I am having three sourthern style Quorn chicken burgers for dinner with a huge salad. The salad basically has no calories, so my entire…

My goodness! You look ABSOLUTELY amazing! All that work has been worth it! Just look at you now! I can't imagine how proud you are of yourself. I love MFP, it changes lives! :)

Butt naked!

This made me chuckle like a maniac ! :P

Just a quick update- I was 10.3 last night, this morning I wake up and weigh first thing- I am back down to 9.13. Hopefully it will stay there for now! Will be watching my weight very closely the next few days however.!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqKXCuCCN5M&feature=related This video of this korean pop band. The girls are GORGEOUS and just LOOK at their figures. Every time I go for a biscuit I think "I want that body- not this body" and put the biscuit down :) Plus the song is cracking x

I am sure it would be possible! But I think the males are far, far outnumbered by females on here (maybe I am wrong?)

Thanks for the responses! My eyes almost popped out of my head when I got on the scale! I have three weeks until the end of term and will be very strict on myself until then- hopefully the water weight/bloating will pop off once I stop drinking and start eating well again. I would've had to have eaten 17,500 cals to put on…

I was in River Island, tried on this beautiful mish-mash coloured dress that zipped up the front. I literally could not even do the size 12 up, it was a rather "cringe" moment. Although it didn't help I was trying clothes with my flatmates who is a UK size 4/6 (very thin indeed!) It was just all the effort- and then can't…

So you think I should move my toast back to yesterday and 'go over'? I suppose it's only 62 over. I have only done this once... well as in .. today I suppose and it would give me an extra 150 to play with that I had originally lost. Ugh gym soon also to work it all off :(

Mine is public, knock yourself out :)

I went on one at the gym today that has a built in heart monitor. I also entered my weight. It said I burnt 275 in 45 mins. It is such a struggle. Ugh.

Well I have been losing weight on what I have been eating... and gym as well. I am going on MFP's instructions with regards to fats carbs proteins and everything. The other day I was very much over on carbs but not on cals... and today I thought I was over on carbs again, hence this post, but it was my Iphone playing…

Thankyou! How long did it take you to see noticeable results? I just see no difference yet. Glad to know it will work though. I may try to do a few weights every now and then, but there is no way I can make them my main workout! Well done on your weight loss that is very impressive!!!
