The medication I was given increases your appetite massively. I'm guessing you don't know too much about it but yes, even in comparison to a few hundred calories a day with alcohol, the meds a significantly worse. That said,my diet right now is pretty messy. It's essentially coffee, sugar, alcohol, some form of dinner and…

Thanks so much everyone. Part of me is just worried about getting too obsessed in case I end up with an eating disorder again, but if everyone is saying that you really need to dedicate yourself mentally then I guess I will just have to find a way to do this positively. Thanks again.

Thanks everyone. I sound so pathetic the way I'm going on but I swear, I just wish I could enjoy what's left of my 20s without being ruled by my weight.

Exact same boat. Gained a stone and a half in a year. Busting my *kitten* to lose it and going up and down the same 3/4 pounds. I'm really going for it just now! We can do this!

Hey everyone! Again, some amazing advice. I do think it was perhaps too much to fast. The picture is me 2 stone light than I am now. It's an inspirational photo!

That's amazing! You are a winner!

Thanks everyone. All of your advice is amazing. All of it! Giving me a ton to think about! I'm not AA but drinking is certainly a vice. Especially at night if I'm stressed and just want the edge off. I know myself that one glass a week would become 2 and then 8. I do have an addictive personality! Having a lot more fruit,…

I really wanted to do it a whole month at least. I was loving it too. This idea of only giving my body a clean diet, no rubbish etc. But then, here I am feeling like I want to actually cry. Oddly, I've been getting emotional during work outs. Not crying but really feeling like I want to. I'm a bit of a wierdo! p.s the…

Thanks guys. Don't get me wrong, I look at the vodka we have and I couldn't bring myself to pour any but all the same, the fact that I was so tempted makes me worry that I won't be so determined next time. I really want this weight loss. Too much energy - head is buzzing and can't focus - need a drink to take edge off…

UPDATE Hey everyone! Just wanted to say thank you for the advice. 7/8 weeks on since my first measurement, I can say that despite the scales only losing 1.5 lbs, I have lost almost 5/6 inches all over. I'm pretty alright with that!

Cheers guy! Don't feel so bad now. I am just after a bad cold, so possibly connected.

Thanks, I'm defo a beginner in the world of strength training!

Hello! Wow! So much information - my head is hurting!! Thanks though! Okay, firstly that picture is my goal weight. That was me 2 years ago, I am around 21 pounds heavier than that now. I will start logging my food diary. To be honest, I could be eating better and defo need to start drinking more water. Since reading the…

Thanks guys. Thank god for this site. Otherwise I'd have gone nuts by now!

Cheers guys, I really appreciate all your advice here. I weighed myself today (have been doing this 3 weeks now) and I actually weigh more than I did starting (by around 2/3 pounds). Inches are coming off slowly but I just know that 2 years ago, I was 10 st and fairly happy (Still with tummy) and now I'm 12 stone. I mean,…

Thanks everyone. Just so many great responses! Really, really appreciate them.

Thanks guys, I am really appreciating the advice. My logging has been sporadic mainly on account of me being demotivated and giving in to temptation (wine!). I am going to start home cooking again and will certainly take a food scale in to the house as I do so. Thank you so much. You are all so damn wise at this!

I did some bod measurements ! 39inch bust 34 inch waist 39 inch hips Shall need to start munching some veggies and more fruit rather than just home cooking. Gah! This is so hard! My bf keeps losing weight on the same crap!

Also thanks for so many great replies! It is actually really nice to see I can come on here and get it all out! xxxxxxx Love to you all x

If it's home cooking, I don't. Protein shakes are always 2 scoops and filled to 400ml.

Thank you! I will try and get back to home cooking. The selfie is really motivational photo for how I looked last year. I was 10 stone there. I am 11 stone now.

I'm 26, 5ft 5 and generally my weight is about 10 st 5. 10 st on a good patch, 10 st 8 on a bad one. I boomed to 11st 10 this summer and have been at this for about a month. Lost 10 lbs in a week but none of the extra exercise is losing a jot more.

There we go, it's all open! Past few days have had a treat or two in there, but going back I'm suprised I haven't lost anything. I've changed from treadmill to outdoor running and im guzzling protein shakes.
