I have recently gone cold turkey myself on all sugars. Except in one cup of tea a day there are no cakes, breads or dairy, sweets, pastrys & I found the first week was fine the second week I had a mild sore head, nothing that a pill would not fix & now honestly I dont miss it. I have lost 7 kgs & feel so much better for…

I cut it out & was fine till week 2 then got mild sore head but otherwise ok.

I'm with everyone above, don't do to someone what you would not wont done to you. Do the right thing because clearly he is'nt. You are pretty & smart just be smart enough to know when you are been led up the path way. Walk away :)

Hi Candy, first of all well done on giving up the cigies!. Dont be afraid to tackle anything new it will take commintment, effort & on the days you feel it's just all too much (we all have those) be kind to yourself. I can only speak for myself, I have lost a total of 11.5 kgs since I started so I can say keep at tracking…

Hi Im 50 too (dont feel 50, feel more like 37), would luv a buddy along the weight loss journey - hop on board. I have lost total of 8.5 kgs since December & would luv to loose another 21 & will give it my best shot to get there.:happy:

So long as you dont have any health issues, start off small & work your way up - no time like the present :):smile:

Hi, your post was honest & kind, thank you :flowerforyou:

Hi, count me in. Support & chats all welcome :smile: Congrats on dream job.

Yes I agree, when we eat less we send a message to our body & it goes into starvation mode, it stores the food just incase it does'nt get any more so by eating more you send a message to the body & it releases the un wonted kgs - funny I do agree but it does work. Good luck with the new baby to be :)

Count me in, together this journey of self discovery is going to be amazing :)

Well done on starting strong!. I would suggest you look around for a second hand heart monitor & watch, this will tell you how many calories you are burning (I live by mine). Each week look at increasing the cardio (running) & before you know it you will be running the whole way. I use lamp posts to measure my running, I…

Take it all in, you deserve the compliments - well done!.

I think this is all about not dieting but changing how you think. You dont diet you change one bad habbit for a good one (its a life style). You have proven in the past you rocked this & with steady changes & persistance it will show results. Love the bikini bit ha,ha - go girl you have this in the bag!.:smile:

Yip agree, look at eating a bit more. If after a few weeks of sticking to the new amount of calories & exercising if you dont show any results get your thyroid checked (might be some thing simple that is stopping the weight loss). - keep going strong :)

Well done you have shown us all comitment & staying strong on something important (you) gives great results. Way to go mate :)

Sure, we all have THOSE days!. I agree with other posts you are in the right place to make some choices that can make a big difference to the rest of your life. Remember the choices we make today will affect our tomorrow. I would like to suggest you change the way you see yourself, leave the down talking about you to those…

Congratulations of the amazing transformation. You are such an inspiration to all of us starting our journey to been a better us. Thanks for sharing. Keep on been a healthier you :).

Count me in, the more the better :smile:

Stay away from the junk food & sweet treats. Eat a balanced diet (dont try to starv yourself) because it will show in your skin. If after a few weeks still no joy consult with your doctor as it might be a hormone thing - worth a chat. :)

Grapes or an orange.

Hmm for me it would have to be reaching for those chocies & wine when stressed. I would like to change it & reach for the walking shoes then I would not need to loose the weight I need to loose. Everything is easier in hind site so we learn & move on in the right direction.

Hi from the land of Auz, add me to your support network :)

Yip I agree - congrats on the weight loss & dont let the lack of praise affect you. You KNOW you have this so enjoy it!.

Welcome, & please add me. Look forward to the cheers from your site when you loose the weight you have planned to loose :)

Hello, I think you should do a workout when it suits you. I find first thing in the am is a good time for me then late at night again if I can. Each person is different, I dont think it is important when you do it, just so long as you are doing it. If you put unrealistic goals on yourself you wont get to even exercise so…

Hi there, you can add me. I try hard to eat 1200 calories a day & exercise every day without fail even if I dont feel like it & so far so good have lost & am still loosing (what a journey this is turning out to be!). Enjoy it.

HI, Since it is Summer here I take chicken wraps, chicken & salad, tuna sandwich & snacks are fruit x 2 & berry natural bar & sometimes nuts (10). Hope this helps to give you ideas.

Hi there, you need to have a better opinion of yourself. Losing weight is very much an up & down journey it isn't easy & trust meI a also doing my battle, so hang in there, looking at changing how you exercise, mix it up a bit because our body's get used doing things very quickly, consider pushing yourself a bit harder&…

Thank you for sharing your journey & well done you are an inspiration to all of us.:smile:
