This post made me feel so sad, I am sorry you have had so much experience of death surrounding you, you should feel happy that you are finally making a change to your life, I believe you can do it ! x

mandy, great post. thanks for your ideas. and every one elses! i didnt give into my sweet cravings today. i did wake up very hungry tho and with a bad stomach, however i still managed 15 mins of zumba.

L-glutomine? Never heard of this? will look it up :)

Thanks for all your ideas, I'm pretty good when it comes to doing a sensible food shop, unfortunatly IF Im craving I will raid my partners side of the food cupboard though and thats where the cookies are.....i'm going to tell him to just hide them from me and I'm going to take your tips and advice instead. I have done well…

Sorry to hear that someone has made you feel this way! The most important thing is to be kind to yourself. Enjoy your ice cream, then put it down and start a fresh in the morning. Engage in things that make you proud of yourself, do well at work, or hang out with nice people, and treat your body like a temple because thats…

Junk food... Booze... Chips... Bread..

What do you drink on a typical night out? When I was skinny a few years ago I stopped drinking on a night out and only had like, white wine every once in a while if i did fancy a drink. I LOVE cocktails, and I love lager/cider, but i'm having to cut those out. I dont go out that often, maybe once a month but when I do, I…

I second this LOL x

well done you look fantastic x

hate how i look in photos, hate feeling heavy for my frame...hate feeling sluggish

25 from the uk! Any other women in the UK please add me! I keep my diary up to date, (it should be viewable?) id love some more friends on here x

I have always had them on my theighs, and around my hips. they are pretty fair, but i have noticed a small one on my arm now too. i use nivea body firming lotion after I have a bath, it works after 2 weeks to decrease the sight of them, and it tones up your skin too. hope this helps x

This looks healthy and it's something I should make! thanks!

hey, I know how this feels. I dont even use a gym anymore, cant afford it at the moment. I just go swimming and I walk everyday for at least 45 mins. One thing i would say is try and appear confident even if you dont feel it, because everyone else in that gym is so busy doing their own thing they are not going to be…

*Sigh* I'm so jel. I only have to look at a pringle and I put on 5 pounds.

he probably feels the need to cheat because he's greedy and seedy!!. If you are not happy in a relationship you should leave it not look elsewhere while staying in it..

This makes me sad. We can all say nasty things in the heat of the moment, but to call you fat and say you're the reason he cheats...that is just so ridiculous and abusive I BET he still expects you to have sex with him too, right? These kinda guys never realise that most women need to feel sexy and secure in order to be…

I will add that I changed my diet to low-fat foods at the time also, as I am doing now as I try to drop the pounds x

for breakfast, I usually just have cereal to be honest, or toast. Sometimes if i wake up very hungry Ill have two egg omette with mushroom and a bit of cheese. for lunch, 1 turkey steak (lean) cooked on grill for 10-15 mins, until browning. 1 Wholemeal pitta bread, warmed on grill for 1 min. Chop the pitta in half, and…

I'd say junk food. Mcdonalds, and Chinese takeaway. Also, lager & cocktails... lol

I think I suggested this on another post, but what I do is I go for a walk, and I listen to music from a time when I was at a weight that made me happy, it takes me back to that time, and back to that frame of mind. it sounds REALLY wierd but if you are someone who has 'put on' weight, and you are trying to get bck to 'how…

feel free to add me. And anyone else who wants to be friends and help eachother. I'm 5'4 and 145lbs, i joined this site about 2 months ago and havent used it, just started this week so newbies feel free to add me too. we can do this! x

To the OP - you look great as you are and a size 12 is small anyway so any changes you make to your body from now on should really only be because YOU want to change yourself for whatever reason - tone up, get healthy, not because someone is basically emotionally blackmailing you. i know that sounds dramatic and i dont…

Hunger hurts my stomach and I really don't like pain so I try and avoid feeling hungry, while keeping in my calorie count it is very tough though especially when you first start out. me personally, i love carbs and this is how I put weight on in the first place, because I knew something bready, ie, toast or a sandwhich or…

hey there, I am right with you on the emotional eating. it can go either way for me, either I lose my need for food all together and go days without hardly anything (and therefore have no energy to DO anything either, body goes into starvation mode = stores fat ect) OR. I will 'binge' eat. the last time i was feeling low,…

Thanks! will try this. x

i'm 5'4, and i'm around 10 stone 4 pounds right now, Most of it seems to have gone on my arms, back and bum. I dont mind my bum, my legs are quite thin but my arms always look huge in photos. I'd love to have slim arms again. My stomach is fine but could do with some toning up. good luck on your journey xx

forgot to mention i'm 5'4, and my HW was 150lbs I think x

Heyy :) CW - 145lbs GW- 119lbs LW- 108lbs (there about). I'd like to be somewhere between 108 and 119lbs before 2014. I hope this is possible as i havent gone on a proper diet in around 5 years the weight came on very lowly, when I was younfer I was about 150lbs and I went down to 108lbs between Feb 2007 and August…

hey, im 25 from London too, feel free to add me, i'm trying to lose 30lbs. x
