Altogether I have lost 40lb. So, 685.9

Oh yeah and once, about 30 years ago, my friend and I were going to my dad's for a lunch party, and en route we stopped at McDonalds and had a big mac and fries. Whilst sitting eating it my dad walked past the window, and we had to duck!

A couple of times, when buying a selection of 4 or 5 different chocolate bars in my local newsagent, I pretended to the shopkeeper that I was choosing for my "young nephews" who were about to "visit" me. I don't know why I did this, as he probably could not care less whether they were all for me or not.

Go upstairs, take a shower and go to bed for a while. If I have a nap, all well and good. By the time I come back down it's time for dinner. Snack avoided!

I disagree. I have read scientific evidence that artificial sweeteners can stimulate insulin production. The body "reads" them as sugars, even though they are not, and are calorie free. It is a scientific fact that elevated insulin causes the body to store as fat the foods we are taking in. Any doctor, dietician medical…

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, don't do what I did! I wasted ten years trying to lose weight on low carb. Was a member of Atkins and other forums. I constantly blamed myself (and they all blamed me) and I tried again, and again and again. Yo-yoed up and down for years. The overall loss was about 20lb and…

I'm female, 56 and have been overweight and yo-yo dieting since I was 19. The thing that has always irritated me is people's constant reference to "what men like" and the underlying assumption that I am losing weight to "get a man" or to "keep a man" etc. When I mentioned to a colleague that I was dieting, she said I "need…

Hi Can I see your food log before replying?

I am totally confused. I just input my stats here: The Alternate-Day Diet – Down Day Recipes – Weight Loss with Alternate-Day Calorie Restriction choosing the sedentary and 35% option and it says "down days 1703 calories and normal 4866 calories." Whaaaaaat?

I HAD to respond to this and hope the poster is still around to read me ... this has been my experience EXACTLY ~ but only since internet dating started (mind you that coincided with me being super morbidly obese). I am STILL looking for a partner who is acceptable to me AND who accepts me. What I have found is that,…

Those full, sexy lips just made for kissin'!

After August I tried the "everything in moderation" diet. I have gained 11lb. So now I am back on the original high fat low carb diet that caused me to lose 31lb last year!

Does Hellmans mayo contain trans fats? If we make our own mayo, must use veg oil, which is not good for us?

^^^ THIS, THE OP ONLY WEIGHS 135lb, people!

No. I have fallen off the wagon every time I've travelled, despite using some clever ideas. I think the temptation got me in the end. Just do your best and be super strict when you get home. Lots of others will give you clever ideas, though!

Am I the only person who thinks you looked absolutely beautiful just as you were? Great that you are now physically much fitter and healthier of course, I 'm just saying that you were lovely before, too.

I logged in to ask the same sort of question. Mine is: Has anyone on here worked out exactly what supplements keto dieters ought to take daily? And exactly how many MG we should take? At the moment I feel I am just taking random stuff in random doses.

I feel terrible. Ashamed of myself. I failed yet again. I feel pretty hopeless, in its literally sense -- without hope. I've struggled to keep to one diet or another for 35 years now. I am a failure, let's face it. I went to Poland for a week and I fell off the wagon but only a little bit, and was determined to drop those…

LOVE IT!

When people ask me what the weighing machine said, I always reply either: It said "No coach parties, please!" or It said "One at a time, please!"

Crikey it could be anything :-( I just took a week off the diet (was abroad) and just ate a "normal" diet, and now it's worse than ever!

Well, clearly, she eats only meat, fish and eggs, with hardly any, or no veg, cheese, or anything else!

It isn't about what MEN want us to be. We don't exist merely to please you. We are beings in our own right.

Chan, I might use that recipe but change the peppermint for orange or strawberry flavouring.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY

Thanks for all the contributions to this thread. Thanks especially for the info on Dr Atkins, and for the story of juice dieting! In the UK practically anyone who refuses a cake is accused of following the "notoriously dangerous Atkins fad diet". As these days I am not up for a fight every time I tend to avoid the A word…

Thanks for all the messages, folks. Aqua Zumba is just my fancy, zeitgeisty name for what is basically just dancing in the water. I bought a pair of water barbells (they are foam) and I bought two Speedo Aquabeats and have loaded them with my favourite upbeat music, and I switch it on and just dance, making sure I move…

bump great info links!

Can't be the same man -- must be photoshopped ;-) Seriously, I felt EXACTLY the same as you when I was in the 360s at only 5ft 3. Your description of the bingeing, the feeling stuffed till sick and yet still hollow inside. The sense of outrage at the world, at the shops, the shoddy clothes -- that could almost be ME…
