I know how you feel...Its so hard on your self esteem when you regain all that hard fought weight. I regained 42lbs this year and it was just hard on my ego and of course the comments that you get from "so called friends" can be soul destroying. I am very much entering the yo-yo territory as I need to get healthy again and…

Hi I too need more encouragement so do add me

Welcome back...I too am a second time around. Wishing your husband a speedy recovery

Absolutely...its so hard to actually pop an exercise DVD in or even step outside the house for a constructive walk/jog. I'm making it my mission to walk at least 10 miles per week. A mile should roughly take about 13-15 mins so half an hour a day for 2 miles seems doable... So far not done too terribly. Managed 6 miles so…

feel free to add me

I'm 28 feel free to add me.Looking to lose about 35lbs

Thats a touch harsh.People are sharing their personal experiences here.Why don't you give yours instead of bashing those who have the courage to try different diets and decide for themselves if they are helpful or not.

Thanks I will keep that in mind

That is sooo true.I was so used to having sugary treats and McDonalds at least twice a week that it became so hard to focus on why it was bad as opposed to just blindly satisfying my cravings. Now I'm gonna take every opportuninty to try out new foods to replace my craving of the naughty ones.This morning I had an apple…

Well now i have lost 4 pounds this week just by eating more fruit,veg and fibre with a few hours of exercise here and there.I'm getting there surely but slowly.... I need to do more exercise to really get my heart pumping.

Thank you everyone.We'll get there on step at a time.... Today was a little tricky but I managed to keep to 1300 calories... I did have 2 packets of walkers crisps at 178 calories each which was naughty but I'm not going to guilt myself.I'll simply make a better choice or rather a more calorie friendly choice of under…

I am terribly sorry to hear about your mother and hope you find peace.

Hi I joined WW yesterday more for the weigh in sessions. It helps motivate me to know that I am going to be weighed. If I lose 2 lbs a week then I'm ok with it.

Thank you all for your suggestions and encouragement. I just had a yummy bit of healthy salmon.Before I would reached for a chocolate stick now i reach for a carrot.

well done

Well you asked for brutal honesty. I know exactly EXACTLY how you feel. Your commitment is sky high during the first few days and then come mid week you hit a "well its only once" and cave...but then a vicious cycle of guilt,denigration and shame hits you.Then you start to think ok then I'll begin again a bit later on in…

I have a small tribal ankh on my wrist and am getting a teary eyed seahorse with baby prints running after it.

My favourite comic growing up was Archie's Digest and I could never work out which character was my favourite so I decided to have them both.

Heya everyone how are you....just wondering how the last 2 days have been for you? I havent done any significant exercise but the hope and desire is there>it's just soooo cold outside. I can't be dealing with power walking at -1 degree.My sister has given me her Billy Blanks Tae Bo DVDs and I have some cardio workout…

I've done it and braved the pain....Not as terrible as I'd envisaged.I'm certainly no beanpole but at 167lbs....I guess it could have been a lot worse.Now time to do something about it.

Ha ha no Went Miller would never be in need of one :D From now on Tape Measure will be my best friend.

Hello everyone I havent weighed myself since November and am actually petrified of my scales.Doesn't that sound stupid to you?! A grown woman living in mortal terror of my scales after the Xmas period...well I'm graduating in 9 weeks and don't want to look as I do now. I used to be 185 and dropped to 140 last year but…

There are so many different diets its insane. my friend was doing the baby diet and she said it was disgusting because her trips to the toilet produced disgusting results LOL

Thanks will try and hopefully some of those pesky pounds will melt away

I am a size 16 now and I'm 5'5". I weigh 153lbs. However I am an apple shape when I'm overweight and carry at least half a stone in boobs. Unfortunately I am naturally a 34J. I ssem to drop a dress size when I lose a stone. I am a size 14 when I am 140lbs. Most other women are a size 12 or a large 10. It sucks for my body…

Well done.Exellent result.Keep it up. Good luck with the testosterone thing.

Those are pretty much my goals too. I'd like to lose 14 pounds this month but would be happy with a healthy 10lbs. Good luck on our quest. Would be nice to ring in halloween at 140 lbs.

Plan ahead thats it...I have no structure to my day so I never plan...it's just whatever is i in the refectory or at my nearest Co-Op and its usually very bad fast junky food.

Concentrated cocoa butter oil is the way to go.Twice a day very day for a month and they'll be visibly improved. They won't disappear but at least they'll look light and faded.

You know when you use the excuse " I can't help it , but I just need to have it". I have used that time and time again.It's a vicious cycle. I lose 15 pounds in a month only to gain 25 the next and on and on the treacherous cycle goes.One week i'll stick to <600 calories per day and then something happens and I'm back on…
