Ditto! Simple, eh? Lets see

It would be really motivating (and reassuring) to me to hear from those of us who HAVE lost excess belly fat, even if it was the last fat to go! I am close to despair, here

NUTS! Raw mixed nuts, - I am totally without will power when it comes to nuts. I can, and have, eaten a large Tesco packet of mixed nuts in one sitting. I just don't buy them anymore, but I miss them

Corpusty, North Norfolk.

OK, thanks for the advice!

Thanks all of you for your thoughts. I have decided to continue using MapMyWalk syncing to MFP. I will only eat back half of the burned calories from now on, which should compensate for the inflated cal burn figures. Also, I think FatDoob's advice makes a lot of sense to me, I am losing weight (slowly) so will continue…

I'm Sue from Corpusty, North Norfolk. Have 35 lbs to lose, and determined, this time, to do it ????

3.28 miles walked out in the countryside today. Goal is to walk the same walk every day, weather permitting. If I can't get outside I will do Leslie's 4 Fast Miles walk at home. So hopefully, minimum I should have walked at the end of March will be 31 x 3.28 = 101.68 miles! ????

To all of you wonderful people who responded to my cry, for cry it was. I am overwhelmed by your caring advice. Believe me, its all been taken on board and I am in a better mental space now because of you. All of you. Thank you all so much.

Thank you!

Thanks for that........much appreciated.

Thanks for your encouragement :) just for accuracy, I have 34 lbs to go to goal, - even I would be hard pressed to gain that much in 9 days!

Will check it ou today...many thanks ????

Thank you so much!

Good news! So brie, really ripe and soft, would be rich in calcium! ?

Thanks for that tip! I'll give almond milk a try.

Helen, thanks for that info. I never knew that about full cream milk having less calcium than skimmed milk. Interesting. I have heard, however, that skimmed milk is full of artificial white colouring, as without it, once the cream and natural fat has been taken out, it would look like thin bluish tinged water......thats…

and one bad day is not the end of things it is just a minor speed bump in life. Like that.! Will remember it! Thank you!

Hihowareutoday: Thanks for your reply, and a very interesting suggestion which is clever and makes me want to try it. So I will. I am still feeling overwhelmed, but now ONLY because of the amazing replies, with so much wisdom and understanding. And compassion. Thank you all SO much!

Tonytrink: You understand. Great advice, -thank you so, so much. I feel like giving you a hug and we don't even know each other! However, consider youself hugged. (i'm not a habitual hugger, never fear!).

Wow! Thank you for strengthening my resolve and inspiring me. What a journey you are on.....and what a star you are!

Thanks so much, guys! Really appreciate your combined wisdom and kindness. I am back up again now.......taken all your advice onboard.....and feeling a lot more positive! Thanks again for being there.

I have heard that the slower (I know, its not what u want to hear) the weight loss, provided it is consistent,the less chance you will have of ending up with saggy skin once u reach your goal weight. Rapid loss, apart from being dangerous and unsustainable for the long haul, will almost definitely result in excess and…

Feb 8 / 1 mile outside + LS 3 Mega Miles = 4 miles today.

Goal for Feb: 80 miles Feb 1: LS 3 mega miles Feb 2: LS 4 Fast Miles Feb 3: 4 miles outside walk Feb 4 Nothing Feb 5 LS 2 Miles Feb 6 1 mile outside and 1 LS Fast mile Feb 7 LS 4 Fast Miles Thats 19 in 1 week. So need to average just over 20 a week from now on. I can do this. I think :)

A day without laughter is, like, night.

Many thanks to all of you for your encouraging replies! Will continue with the LS workouts! You guys have convinced me to keep going and not give up. THANKS!

Hi there :) I started here a year ago and lost quite a lot of weight. Due to unforeseen circumstances ( and isn't that always the case!) I lost motivation and piled the weight back on, and then some. Now I've sorted my life out, sort of, and am back with more determination than ever. I'm 65 now, so this is probably my last…
