  • Absolutely. I started dieting around october 2010, I was 226 at my heaviest, I lost around a stone then hit the wall. I ate what I wanted over xmas and new year and finally plucked up the courage to weigh myself new years day. It wasnt as bad as I thought and after my new years dinner, I got back on the dieting wagon on…

  • I have a lot to lose I was 226 at my heaviest, I am 200 now and would like to lose another 50lb, anything above that is a bonus. I dont actually know what I weighed when I was skinny because it wasnt an issue or something that I tracked. I will not be in a bikini at the summer, not because I disbelieve in myself, but…

  • I was shocked when I started using MFP and I checked my nutrients that there was so much fat, or sugar or whatever in things. Like you say, its a lesson in changing our lifestyle, its not easy but we will be better for it.

  • Dont give up, every one is different. Try not to compare yourselves, just stick to being good with eating and excercise and in no time you will really notice it. Only now after losing 26lbs am I finding that my clothes look and feel different on me and only within the last 2 weeks have people been commenting that I look…

  • I am in the process... I fractured my radial head (elbow basically) around 10th Jan, 2 weeks ago I felt good enough to get back to the gym - I dont lift weights, so the pain was bearable in a such a way that I could run and be ok. Day 3 of going to the gym, I fell again and done the same fracture on the same arm. It has…
