Welcome, Future-Guy-Who-Lost-250-Pounds. You look ready to do this thing. Go you!

Band aids or a little rub over with some Vaseline (petroleum jelly) should help sort that. I'd go for the jelly first - it's less likely to hurt when you don't need it!

I looked up a TDEE calculator and MFP agrees with the amount I should be eating in order to lose weight. I'm still trying to eat that much, but I've gone from random eating up to 1200 cals a day, which is my greatest achievement so far.

What an awesome success for you. I hope that you reach your goal soon and that those new knees let you get the life you want.

You really have done an amazing job there :) Congrats

Yes, please.

It sounds like a toxin release to me. It's pretty natural for your skin to erupt when you change your diet and start a detox. It can help to dab honey on the pimples - it's a natural antiseptic.

How amazing do you look? You were beautiful before - you just look happier with how you are now. And a Pen fan too :)

I bloat during mine as well. I started this new try at losing that extra couple of people I'm carrying about whilst in bloat mode. I didn't even think about the extra couple of pounds, but you're right, measuring that week won't be totally accurate.

Currently in Suffolk - looking for people to motivate me to lose over 100lbs.

I'm in the 300 club too. Feel free to add me.

Hi Paige. That's a hell of a journey to get where you are now. I want to wish you the best in your efforts.

Not so much proud... but determined. That this time, I'm going to learn to like food and to eat it regularly.

I could do with some motivating and I'm 41. Feel free to add me... give me a kick to start eating enough!
