BUMP!

People love to put the successes of others down.. Why? To make themselves feel better.. It truly is a crappy world we live in :-( Don't listen to anyone else, their opinions are biased against you and you will never be happy putting up with that crap. -1/4 of the way is incredible! Good luck xox

I've lost 37lbs since June and it's all thanks to me switching my thyroid meds! Fly so miserable on synthetic tyroxine, I won't name brands as there are a few and differs in what country you are in. I've switched to armour, a natural drug available in many countries like Ireland, uk, USA I did a lot of research on it and I…

Look at it as a lifestyle change and do it just one day at a time Stop looking at the end line as that is too far away right now to help you. Take each day separately and get through each one and soon it'll be second nature Trust me, just try it Xox

If you eat well, moisturise a lot and do regular exercise then you should be grand as you aren't morbidly obese at all! Don't worry about loose skin at all. Even if you get it(which is probably never gonna happen!) isn't it better to have some loose skin and be a healthy weight?? When I started this I was 221lbs and am now…

Couldn't agree more! If only everyone had this attitude there might be less faddy diets and yo yo dieters!

Agreed! I never comment on diaries as I think how a person chooses to eat their allocated allowance is up to them and many people go under quite drastically and instead of people being concerned they congratulate them on it! Madness! I myself have some days where'd I am over and some days where I am a lot less but that's…

Hi! Moving to Perth from Ireland next month so looking for some Aussie friends :-) Anyone Feel free to add :-)

Great thread :-)

Just saw all these responses! I think i've accepted/added all of ye now!

You can do this!!! I also am hypo, feel free to add me xox

Can't think of any store that uses standard sizing :-( You could be a multiple of sizes all under the one roof :-( Ante hate hate it!

I was 220lbs when I first started Now I am 187 lbs Goal weight of 159lbs Height 5'7 Large frame If anyone has similar stats feel free to add!

Drives me nuts! :-@ Currently I am wearing sizes UK 12 14 16 (all from the same store funnily enough) Aghhhh! Why can't be have standard sizing!?!

Do not follow her advice at all! Never ever go back to see her, she should be ashamed of herself giving out so called 'advice' like that God that makes me so angry, is it no wonder more and more people especially children have eating disorders if people in the medical profession behave like this. Use all the resources on…

wow amazing! well done :)

Tha MFP database for exercise calories is wayyyy wayyyyy off and I would never advice someone to use it. I love love this site but this aprt of the site simply does not work. The calorie burn is always too high. Google loads of different calorie calculators and you should find a good average! Or invest in a HRM!

/Found this for you Kiwi fruit skin is definitely edible, and there's a lot of different theories about eating it. Kiwi fruit skin contains high levels of flavonoids, insoluble fiber and antioxidants: these substances all have a beneficial effect on your body's metabolic functions (flavonoids and antioxidants) and on your…

SW and HW - 220lbs CW. - 187lbs Christmas goal-168lbs GW - 159lbs

Wowser :-) You look great!! Well done on your amazing amazing journey :-)

So so true!

So many people aretold they are normal yet have all the symptoms. Demand you go back on it and just make sure your levels dont go high There is nothing dangerous about being on it as long as you dont go high Please do your research, you will find so many people who were in a position like yours good luck xox

I do this regularly although I never under eat drastically. But all days are different for me, somedays I'm hungrier than others, others not so much, some days i eat a big dinner other days not, some days I'm constantly on the go and dont get to eat much, other days i'm on the couch lounging around! For me I need to be…

I eat whatever I want to.... this is a lifestyle change for me not a diet. I aim to eat healthy and exercise regularly but when I feel like some chocolate or a meal out I'll have it and not feel guilty or consider it a cheat. I stay within my calories for the vast majority of the time and its working out very well for me!…

I log everything even if it's just using the quick added calorie option.... Otherwise... Why on earth bother?? It's like people who log in every single day but dont log their food.... Why??? And then they wonder why they aren't losing weight...

I have been on armour since last december and its turned my life around. I gained 38lbs on synthetic thryoid, had all my under active symptoms and felt so miserable. all this was supposedly my levels were normal? ya right..... I googled and googled and trawled the net for help and thats when I discovered Armour. After…

First of all add a good few supportive people as a support network is key Second open your food diary to them if you haven't already. Having an open food diary makes you so much more accountable and does stop you from overeating Next make sure your eating enough calories so you dont feel like binging, have you checked out…

IT'S very very simple Your weight can fluctuate by as much as 7lbs in one day When you weigh again in the morning it will go back down. Obviously as you put food and drink into your body it will weigh something! You should only weight yourself first thing in the morning.

Totally understand what you mean about sizes, it's so so so frustrating :-( Why can't be have clothes that are measured to one size :-( At the moment I am wearing uk sizes 12-14-16 so that's us sizes 8-10-12 Agh!

Hi there! As of last Monday September 17th my current weight was 188lbs - 13 stone 6lbs I started this 15weeks ago and was 220lbs at the start! My goal for 31st December is 168lbs -12 stone That's a goal of minus 20lbs I need to lose a little over 1lb per week for this. Some weeks I lose 2lbs and some weeks nothing o…
