No problem.. I see it as a mutual thing.. we all have dark days we need someone to pull us through astrose00 is my inspiration - she's a mean machine!! and of course my other friends on MFP i have made during my time here :) thanks to you all x

I must admit even though its been a tough couple of months yo-yoing around 200lb, i have never given up on the belief i could do it.. my problem was just how! this time feels so different as though I am in charge of my destiny.. and this will happen :)

wow well done x

Well done for getting below 200.. i'd take it if i was you lol x

I kept thinking that as the weeks went by, I knew i had to do something to push through it.. someone suggested bulking up my calories, which i did for a few days .. but it didn't really work for me.. the scale just shot up and took ages to come back down.. so that's when i started swimming 20 lengths to start, now at 24, i…

Thank you.. feeling pretty smug if i'm honest lol x

38lb - with some small bumps but noting that usually didn't start again after a week or 2 - been at this weight since before xmas and now starting to really annoy me!! started swimming twice a week to see if that will jump start it - here's hoping :smile:

38lb so far since last august - another 60 to go..plateaued but still continuing - doing weights and walking - now introduced swimming to see if that will shove me in the right direction :)

well done xx

I was hoping for around 140, but that still leaves me 60 to go with 38 lost already - still it's our individual goal and who's to say that that will be our final goal.. once we are there - well who can say :) we have just got to go one day at a time and do the best we can today because tomorrow just might be the day we hit…

Hi I had 110 lb to lose - knocked 38 of those off since August 2014 - just taking it a day at a time - don;t think about a month away focus on today and the choices you want to make - do you really need that chocolate bar ( sometimes the answer is yes and that's fine! ) as long as the no's outstrip the yes's!! lol !! what…

RRBww I know I have 100lb to lose to get to some of their starting weights too!! But i know deep down I can do this and you can too.. stick with it :) x

Hi I too have hashimotos, wasn't diagnosed for nearly 5 yrs in which time my hair fell out, i put on nearly 7 stone, my ankles swelled so much i couldn't walk, my skin itched so much i scratched it till it bled - my saviour has been armour thyroid - i couldn't stomach the synthetic versions - I got my sanity back…

Hi well done, I hit the dizzy heights of 238lb ( only 5ft2in ) - lost 38 so far - it took them nearly 5 yrs to realise I had Hashimotos disease, I had put on 7 stone!!! hair fell out, ankles swelled up till i couldn't walk, itching which i scratched till i bled, brain fog - where i couldn't even remember if i had eaten!!!…

Apologies for asking the innate question - what/who are buckeyes?
