Every forest fire starts from a spark... just do what you can. Log everything you can including all the stuff you do generally. (I'll get some abuse about that I'm sure but before anyone kicks off at me, go and do a days housework carrying a 100lbs and then tell me that's not a work out!). The more you lose, the more you…

Sometimes kiddo you just can't win... so the answer is ...Fight dirty. For example- Q. "Isn't that going to ruin your diet for the day?" Ans. With bald stare whilst taking a big bite " Yeah probably." The idea here is that the sanctimonious and patronising person will give up and back off when not being fed by an…

Wow. Inspirational! You look amazing.

lolol!:laugh:

Welcome back kiddo :flowerforyou:

5' 6" 100lbs to lose and 40lbs lost. Other than my daughter no one has commented. :brokenheart:

Great thread and what an incredible, strong, wise and just simply nice woman!

Wow.:flowerforyou: Wow to all of you who have done so much to change your lives without surgery. You have actually changed your lives not just had a temporary quick fix. I started at 244 and am now down to 203(ish). I've lost 30lbs since the end of May on the 5:2 diet.

This... and use the log to keep track and learn about the nutritional loading of foods.

Hi, I'm 55 in UK and looking to lose a total of 100lbs.

There's a lot of hype about sweetners. Find one that suits your ethics/diet/taste. Avoid white sugar it's empty calories... unless thats what makes you happy. If so work it into your diet plan and don't use it as a big stick to beat yourelf. the same with milk. I use skim and allow myself the 70 cals of 200mls a day.…

Skinny no sugar unless it's really good coffee with a crema top so then I like it strong, intense and black....

This is a fascinating post OP. In 39lbs lost at 5' 6", I've gone from a 40JJ to a 36J. It's so interesting to see how our bodies differ in response to weight loss.

Hi. Welcome to mfp :smile: Plan on taking it slowly (between 1 to 2lbs a week). There will be ups and downs so don't beat yourself up about bad days just be honest with yourself and log it! The best piece of advice I got when I started was 'log it' and the best piece of advice I can give is no matter what it was you did -…

I do pretty much the same thing usually. Try measuring yourself (everywhere! Include knees and arms for example) and you'll more than likely find that in the weeks you don't loose weight you will be loosing inches.
