@sjo68 - No,I don't think the world is ready for the glory of my nekkid body, not till I've lost another 100 lbs anyway :noway: So I will be conservatively dressed in the pink shorts and a T......... @_tru_ - A bikini might not be such a bad idea and give some support to my man boobs, until they go the way of all fat!…

Firstly, welcome all newbies,I am the token male around here. I pop in and make facetious comments then disappear up my male ...er........shed. Talking of which, look up "Fifty sheds of grey" on Amazon, just love the excerpt. @mjharman - you WILL stay away from the mini chocolate bars at work. Or else. The heavy mob will…

I once knew someone whose brother went out with someone from Yorkshire (well....someone oop north anyway) does that count :laugh:

I used a hypnotherapist who works on weight loss, and it works. I used to snack all the time, crisps, biscuits, now I don't, that simple really!

That was one of the things that set me off too Meg, Though with me it was walking at airports where I would get out of breath and stand on the moving walkways to get it back or walking up more than one flight of stairs. This is where I notice the biggest change now. @janet - I'll be interested to see what you think of the…
-
@janet - yes you're right, sounds glamorous as you say but you see the office, the hotel, a couple of restaurants and the drive in between and that's about it. I did a project in Paris many years ago and managed to get to see the Eiffel Tower once, but never got to the Louvre, Les Invalides, Notre Dame, anywhere in fact!…

Relationships never work if you have to compromise yourself too much to keep them going. Tell him to take a hike, you deserve better, someone who loves you for you, not your outward appearance. And lose the weight for you, it will give you such a boost and so much confidence good decent men will be tripping over themselves…

@trismoo - I am indeed 'about your age' a year older in fact, having had my "Beatles' Birthday" about six months ago. I'm sure you'll get the reference! Not sure we want any more gents though, I'm enjoying having a harem :laugh: Actually there are some other men on here, just not so active. I don't think I do things any…

I agree with those above who say they are a bad thing. If you're serious about changing your lifestyle, what is the point or logic of a cheat day? I have cheat foods, ie, things that are not totally healthy and that I eat only very occasionally now, like a packet of potato crisps or some chocolate, but always within my…

10 lbs a month is not unreasonable depending on how much you have to lose. I had about 140 lbs to lose and my first two months following MFP calorie limits, eating back any (very few) exercise calories I have lost about 13-14 lbs a ,month, I'm expecting to weigh in on Sunday at about 30 lbs loss, having started beginning…

@penny - like I said, he doesn't deserve you. I hate to say it, but it sounds as if your Mum is right :ohwell: We old people know what we're on about!! @ Meg, hope your rain stops. You may be interested to know it's been raining off and on in Romania all week, but fairly light, no real showers. @tn - totally agree about…

One word Steph - Water. Maybe had a high salt meal, or just not drunk enough. Happens to me every time I travel, I get back, weigh myself and I'm the same or higher than the previous week. A couple of days at home, the weight drops off and I then can get a true figure. Drink lots of water today and try again tomorrow. I…
-
You can do it, wanting to is the first step. Keep at or slightly below your MFP target, do as much exercise as you can, and the weight will go. I've lost 28 lbs in two months from my high of 294, so I know it can be done. It is important to log every morsel that goes past your lips on your food diary, and your exercise…

Meg- the 'img' needs to be lower case.
-
How do you like the little snack I was offered on Romanian airline, healthy huh? It was this or 'cake'. Notice it hasn't been opened!
-
Don't get bored! That simple and that difficult.

I like weighing daily when I can. I'm a data geek and can now explain my fluctuations, usually sodium and water retention based. I'm not obsessive, so I won't be taking the challenge, sorry.
-
I don't think it's brave so much, as really necessary. Until you can be this honest with yourself you are only playing at weight loss. So this was something you had to do, and good on you for doing it publically. We've all been there and saying I'm a fat lazy mess is the first step. With your new attitude girl you're going…

I won't reply individually this time. Sitting in Bucharest airport with about another three and a half hours before my next flight. Just had the most revolting chicken breast schnitzel and rice with mushrooms, lukewarm and tasteless, didn't eat much of it but I did count some calories. It was so bad I bought myself a pack…
-
@meg - I usually am right, drives my other half mad!! What she hasn't cottoned on to yet (in 30+ years) is if I am not sure, I just shut up, I only insist if I know I am right :laugh: What an irritating B*st*rd I must be, right? It's a male thing maybe...... @Steph - having been brought up in Africa from age 10 I tend to…
-
@tnsumner - Great job! And I'm so pleased you say we are all going to be SUPER HOT this summer, in fact I am going to wear a placard round my neck which says "tnsumner says I am SUPER HOT'. If that doesn't attract the ladies, nothing will :laugh: Mind you my wife will probably point out the only "Hot" I am is because of…
-
When I started the diet I changed from beer to Whisky + water. I can get three whiskies for the same calorie cost as a pint of beer! It would be stupid not to.......... :laugh:
-
@tnsumner - Good for you for climbing right back up on the wagon! And good thinking on the dessert. @cacklingcat - Nooooo, don't mention donuts, love donuts, want one.................... @gonzamm - I don't think I had a binge, the post was about someone else :happy: I think I've only gone over my limit once in two months,…
-
OMG Tiff, have you seen the calories in those damn things...........??? But hey it's done so don't beat yourself up any more, one day does not make a major meltdown in your plans, it's a blip that's all. I'm sure you feel bad enough about it already, but if you still feel REALLY bad, have a fasting day this week to make up…
-
@_tru - Funny I don't think of my life as having been exciting but I suppose it can seem that way. I went to Africa when my father accepted a teaching job in Central Africa when I was 10 and I did most of my growing up there. It was a great place to grow up too. One of my sisters still lives in Zimbabwe, and my other…

My b*tch is hotter than yours

Problem is measurements are also just a number, they fluctuate too, particularly stomach measurements as I have found, and can be very difficult to take accurately and repeat. I love my scale, I weigh every day when I am home, I understand the fluctuations, I also am interested in the trend, as long as it is downwards long…
-
Don't throw it out the window, it is not the scale's fault, it is an honest reporter of what you don't want to know. Embrace it like a friend, praise it when it brings good news and when it brings bad news, tell it you know it won't be long before it brings you good news again. And lo and behold, you will become reconciled…

I think you need to be "done". Contact a cat vet immediately for a quick catstration. It's not a catastrophe, you will be feline so much better afterwards.
