  • I think it's legitimate to wonder how the circumstances outlined in the article come to pass but the piece doesn't address what support if any was available to the poor man. I would like to know more about the differences between normal obesity and super obesity as I remain to be convinced that the two are linked.

  • Four years ago I was 250lbs and over 2 years I lost 80lbs. I've managed to regain about 45lbs over the last 2 years but 35lbs has stayed off. I'm now trying to lose 60lbs and guess that if I managed to keep another 35lbs off I'd be quite pleased. I find that as soon as I take my eye off the ball I lose that control which I…

  • Just started on the 5:2 programme and have completed two IF days. I found it surprisingly easy but wonder if it's the novelty that made it so. I did find that keeping busy was really helpful and being able to eat lots of salad stuff was great. Thinking that soups will be useful when winter comes.

  • I always put weight on the day after having any high sodium food. Chinese and Indian meals are the usual culprits for me.

  • You've lost 40lbs! Just iamgine how many weeks bingeing you'd have to do to put that back on. It's not going to happen is it? So really don't feel bad. I've just eaten 2 Milky Ways and will indulge in chocolate later on this evening. I just accept that every so often my tummy beast will take over. But as long as I lock it…

  • I weigh every day because I want to develop a better understanding of how my weight varies. For instance, even if I'm under on calories, I will always put weight on the day after I have had any Chinese food. But I do recognise that this can lead to disappointment so I only really compare my weight at weekly intervals. I…

  • Happy mother's day to you too. Will try to have a reasonable calorie controlled day but oh dear - my daughter's present to me is a Bradford Bakeries hamper with shortbread, cookies and sultana cake. I'm going to try to have just occasional dips into it and limit the damage that way!
    in HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!! Comment by rachaelbermingham March 2010
  • Thanks for all the supportive postings. I suppose the silly thing is that we get hung up on numbers. There's no reason why 20lbs should be more difficult than 17 lbs or 22 lbs but it just seems hard. I'm grateful to have stayed steady this week. Yesterday was a munchies day I'm afraid - although I really did enjoy every…

  • So sorry about your pet. Our dog is the main reason I am losing weight - she takes a lot of walking! Can't imagine what life would be like without her, so I've given her an enormous hug. Mind you she gave me a funny look and is wondering where the "treat" is! Stay strong.
