I was in the same position as yourself, I also started at 256lbs in January this year and today I weighed 193lbs. When I started going to the gym at the beginning of May I went approx. 4 times per week and I stopped losing completely, infact I lost 2lbs in May. This was the same again in June. In July I spoke to a personal…

Sorry should have said i am 30 in a few weeks.

My arms legs come out in small blisters any time i exercise, i googled it and it says they are called sweat blisters.

Yes i have just increased my calories to 1550. I really dont know what the exercises were called, i will have a google see if i can find the correct names. Thanks

Thanks everyone. The treadmill was set for a fast walk and then jog. My initial weight loss was all down to diet and increased walking but only around 6000 steps a day (pedometer on phone so not hugely accurate. I did work both leg muscles but wasnt sure what they were called and same for by chest/back. I have a womens…

I dont have personal experience with it because i dont like spending money on shakes etc when i can do it myself without spending money. Although my news feed is full of people doing juice plus who are losing weight. It would be interesting to see the same people this time next year to see if the weight has crept back on.…

Yes i have had it from a fellow co worker asking me what drugs i was taking. I have also had another saying "oh you dont look like you have lost that, youve quite a bit to go". I get upset about these and other comments i have had but it makes me all the more determined to succeed in what i want regarding my weight.

How is it too late to be asking? According to my stats i probably have another 75lb to lose.

feel free to add me everyone, could do with some more friends. I have lost 51lbs with about another 40lbs to go.

To the posts saying why are you bothered then the answer is because i am live and work in a small village where everyone knows everyone and i also work caring for other peoples children. I dont want people to think im on drugs, as alot of people were taking a prescription drug to aid weightloss and i would hate for people…

I do my weigh in on a monday.

can I join too

I have set a goal like you have mentioned above which has been very achievable, i dont plan on stopping when i get to that 'date' but it is giving me something to work towards, a reason to keep motivated. Whats the harm in it?

Scotland, please anyone feel free to add me.

Dont think of the 98lb figure. I have about the same as you to lose and the way i have done it is small goals, i am at 46lb loss now and my next goal is 9lbs away. Also dont get annoyed if you dont see a loss one week. As long as your eating at a deficit you will lose. Keep going it will be worth it in the end.

Thanks ladies. Any links to good exercises etc would also be appreciated. Going to look into 30 day shred.

I am turning 30 in a few months and I want to weigh what I did before pregnancy. so far I have lost 36lbs and I am 13lbs away from my first goal weight. at that weight I am still overweight but i am taking it small steps at a time. hopefully at this rate i will have lost 13lbs for my daughters 2nd birthday in 7 weeks, it…

Thanks you for the helpful comments. Yes i know i ate food, it was a genuine enquiry as to whether exercise causes fluid retention.

The only person that knows im trying to lose weight is my partner. Mostly the reason I haven't said to anyone is because I am ashamed that I have put this weight back on (I lost a lot of weight before I had my daughter).

You have not put on 4lbs of fat in 2 days so its most likely water retention. Have you been drinking the same amount of water? Also your weight fluctuates. You will likely lose it all next week. Dont be discouraged.

I personally don't recommend atkins bars etc as they stalled my weight loss. What are you eating in a day? Remember you should be adding oil, cheese etc to your diet to up your calories.

Thanks for your reply. How do i open up my diary, i thought it was public.

Yes I lost 4 lbs my last TOM, which was a big surprise to me, I honestly thought I would have put on.
