Hi I feel quite ashamed reading your weights.. I am 5 foot 2 inch, was 253lb ( sept 18) currently 229lb. My first goal is 190 as that is what i need to be to have my knee replacement approved! once recovered from that and pain free! my goal is 140 ( i was 145 when i got married and fitted in a size 10 dress ) if i go less…

Hi all :) I'm 5ft 2 in age 52 SW 253 CW 230 GW1 190 ( need new knee and they wont even consider me till i get to this!!) GW2 140 GW3 133 ( this is classed as healthy weight! for my height) hit a plateau for last month! I put the weight on as I have Hasimoto disease and i was having trouble walking - long story short after…

Storm Gareth has hit here.. Staffordshire UK, hello ladies i hope you are all well?

Hi although you say your thyroid has been tested - has it been tested for autoimmune thyroid - i was in a terrible mess for 5 years - all the thyroid tests kept coming back normal - then finally i was in such a bad state my dr tested me for antibodies - dadah - i have Hashimoto disease - got medication and symptoms went…

keep it up - one day at a time!

Your doing so well - keep it up!

Oh wonderful :)

I have hashimoto's and take armour thyroid for it, basically my immune system is attacking my thyroid, so when chunks get knocked off ( in lay mans terms) it floods my body with thyroid and i can show as hyper, but then of course i have less thyroid left so i go into hypo - they told me for 5 years that nothing was wrong…

I have a 'cheat' day or 're-feed' whereby i can eat carbs ( bread/rice/chocolate/cakes ) i normally do it when socialising at the weekend and can have a drink. I know from the comments above no one likes the word 'cheat' and literally i dont see it as permission to eat loads of food.. but to eat things in a standard meal i…

I am doing the 4 hour diet, whereby i am following the 5 rules but not necessarily eating every 4 hours as i find i am full most of the time. what i like about it is that i can eat as much as i like and have a cheat day once a week and still lose on average 2 pound a week.. i just hate calorie counting!

Yes i have been doing it for 3 months now and lost 15lb - i had stalled big time and find this works for me.

Claims aside I have been 'dieting' since sept 2014 using mfp and restricting my calories, this worked ok until around xmas time ( i had lost 40lb ) - I then stalled big time and i mean big time i tried all different things increase cardio. increase lifts, reduce calories, increase calories, then someone suggested the four…

Nearly a 5000 BTU air conditioner! slowly making my way to a 2 month old horse!!

Sorry re the photos - they were straight when i started lol - opening picture in excess of 238lb - second one 50lb down - now at 52lb lost yay :) in just over a year -still another 46lb to go to target - steady but sure

Hi 49 heading quickly for 50 and last September I decided enough was enough. I was 238lb, 48 yrs of age and 5ft2in!! and i wanted to be back at my wedding weight 140lb by my 50th Birthday. As of today I have lost 50lb and have another 48 to go. I lost a good chunk of this weight within the first 4 months and then stalled…

Hi i'm 50 next March and was trying to get down to my wedding weight by then - i have lost 49lb in just over a year and have another 49 to go.. I may not reach goal but i will do my darndest to get as close as possible.. we can do this :) x

well done, these landmarks help us keep on track ... keep it up :)

that's better!

My pictures were the right way round on my ipad - not sure what happened here!!!

Start and during lost 41lbs

Happy Birthday x

Congratulations and have a fantastic day x

congratulations, it feels brill to see that number change from a 2 to a 1, i know how you feel i am presently hovering round it, lowest 198 but keeps going back over 200 again !! but it stays more on the 1 than the 2 so thats a win to me! be v proud :)

Hi, I also have Hashimotos and so far managed to lose 40 lbs since last September :)( 60 more to go ) It is hard but possible. I am on armour ( tried synthetic but it just gave me palpatations ) and have to adjust my tablets all the time, especially as you lose weight. I have been 'stuck' on a plateau for a few months now…

Congratulations I know what a milestone that is :) well done x

wow amazing !!- can I also ask.. what height are you/age and do you have any loose skin anywhere i.e. arms/stomach etc. ? I know personal.. but if you could shed some light thanks x you just look so amazing! :)

Gosh such an achievement - I take my hat off to you x

Thanks you are such an inspiration to me x

Sorry our Govt don't ask personal questions lol there would be a riot over here if they did!! have enough trouble with the doctors asking you to step on the scales every time you go... even with a cold! obsessed or what !!!

Thanks <3 you are a mean machine! enjoy your lunch today xx
