read your post you just written - imagine its someone else - how would you answer?? You have answered within your own post. I wouldn't say irrational but unfair yes. My bf and I are like that to each other but we always say and emphasise its said and acted in love. In face I got an email half hour ago from him saying…

Northern Ireland here! Add me :-)

That already looks lovely! Keep determined to get to where you want to be!! One of the dresses for me being made - so 3 weeks until first measurements - so they my mini goals

You are gorgeous and i love people who always tries at least to get healthy. He probs aint a looker himself. Remember what one person sees as ugly is what another sees as beautiful. No maybe one day - I don't know how much you looking to lose but it will happen. Good luck!

What a horrible experience for you. Maybe try to spin this and use this to keep you motivated so next time he wonders who you are - say Im the Duff according to you. When i was much larger had these issues. You got 2 ways to go - get really upset and make yourself feel worse and stressed or use MFP and whatever regime you…

yea it works - as you are not eating proper food. I dropped 3 stone in under 3 months 10 years ago and I cycled for an hour every day too. Slowly gained as went back to eating solids. Its not nice, its miserable and its only a quick fix. If you go for it hope works out for you but in the long term it will not help. Think…

Thanks! I tried gym and sworld a while back but it did nothing. I decided to commit to gym as I wanted to tone and get fitter despite my 5 stone loss. Im now up and down and with 2 more stone to go Im never going to get to my lightest weight ever at this rate. I fully appreciate everyone is different. Just at times its…

I do weight and measure. I have went from 2 litres a day to probs 3-4 due to exercising a lot and have a litre at gym and probs another litre when home due to thirst. I get what you mean - sworld was at times a chore oh i best eat my apple at 10 and my yogurt at 2pm so now I only eat if and when hungry but its still way…

Maybe taking a wee break will help!! Sounds like doing amazing so far!

It takes time to like it - eventually one day you realise you really want it and when out and about you need to get a bottle of water of order a jug for your table instead of having fizzy drinks like everyone else. You said you want to - so just start drinking it. Its the one thing everyone here does - drink lots of water

Im 4 and half years with my partner - he met me at my heaviest and lost over the years while he gained. Was sooooo hard as start of us going out i didn't want to eat out fear of being bad and then as I lost a lot he started gaining and quite a bit. We now only training together and starting to appreciate what the other one…

Yea my gym has poor air conditioning also so trying to work out in warm heat is rubbish. Im not being lazy - Im still doing over an hour exercise and 500-600 cals burned off a night but 2 weeks ago I was a girl who enjooyed it and talked about it. Now im like oh i have to do that tonight. Meh! lol

Good idea!! Im using being bridesmaid next year twice as motivation but thats next year. Just realised engagmenet party for one of the weddings is 5 weeks so got that to keep me through the summer to aim. Smaller goals better i think.

How have you managed to lose 20lbs? Thats fab!! Need to know what Im doing wrong

Wow what have you been doing to do so well?? Share please!!

I didn't do much of it as moved house and then kinda forgot about it but if you really want to look better it will help. THink its aimed more at toning than weight loss so don't get too disheartened and others say by 3rd week it shows.

I think safe to say losing that much in short time is very drastic but you can try to do as much as you can at same time feeling better in yourself which will then show in photos. Drink tons of water, cut out junk and up your exercises and after week see how you get on and maybe up exercises again. If you don't do gym -…

She's lucky to have that excuse! lol

This is correct. 6 months i sweated the 'normal' amount from gym - but once started with Personal Trainer I am now even on sessions on my own dripping. My neck sweats and my arms are always running with water which never happens. He says this is because I am getting fitter and upped my game in gym. So any night im in he…

Exactly!! Ive suddenly developed getting so sweaty and red last few weeks but people have said to me it seems ive upped my game in gym and its paying off. If anything your putting others to shame who arn't!

Totally agree with this and I preach it at others. Just needed someone to tell me it too. I seem to have a slight bladder infection also and hoped that might have me retaining water until it clears up. I was all for just being about the inches but PT and bf say I need to focus on weight first as got a few stone to go. So…

I totally get that. Just i committed to a whole regmine and do Personal Trainer with my bf and lost a good amount in 2 weeks. I accept those 2lbs happily as before used to be worse but was just I did a lot of exercise after and not shifted anything. I lose better when Im a hermit but do get you can't hide away in life.…
