It was wrong of her to lie, obviously. But the guy is not "your territory" if you still refer to him as a friend and you're not dating exclusively yet. I hate this possessive, inhuman term. Does she know you like him that way? She possibly may not see anything wrong with going to brunch with this guy if she believes he's…

I've had a very identical experience. Few years ago I started off at roughly around 200 lbs. Back then, my 'ideal' weight on the scale was 182 lbs. I did it slowly, going on and off diets. And I did get there, but like you I still felt fat. The weight on the scale didn't correlate with the body I wanted. A nutritionist…

I fell right down from a 38 DD to a 36 A/B.... Why. Can't. It. Be. The. Same. For. My. STOMACH!?!?

Cheese (in moderation) is good for you because it's packed with protein, so I wouldn't cut it out completely!

If you ever grab a cookie and you're about to put it in your mouth, spit on it and throw it in the bin. Works for me! I know it seems like a waste of food but it's better in the bin than on your hips, right?

Looking at myself in the mirror and feeling terrible, on the verge of tears!

Thank you everyone! And yes momo, by 'throw out' in reality I mean I give my old clothes to Oxfam. : )

This is fantastic! I've also recently caught the running bug. Keep it up!

Hi! I'm 6"0 and 150 lbs is the big dream! However even if I just reach 160-165lbs I'd be over the moon! I may have to compromise for any muscle built on the way, but I'll see how it goes.

Hi there! I am pretty much the same! Student and dieting definitely don't go together without a struggle! I'm fine when I'm at my house at uni because I just choose not to buy junk (if it's not in the cupboard, I can't have it!). The problem is going out with mates...restaurants, bars, clubs, end-of-night-out dominos…

@tklarakis - Isn't it just? Others debate it may possible resemble africa...

Lol! I believe that sort of thing is valid grounds for a ban!!

1) Let's start with the butt. This *kitten* can't be ignored, no matter how hard I try. 2) Dare I say it, my arms are coming along nicely toned. Whoop! 3) Those faint indents on my abdomen ARE the early signs of some sort of ab-pack, right? RIGHT? 4) My, uhm, calves? They always seemed to be toned with zero fat whether I'm…

I believe there is already a group for tall women? 6 foot here and not afraid to strut out in some heels! I'm looking to reach GW of 150lbs so about 2 stone to lose But I'm carrying weight well which is always a bonus!

Hi! I like your username it's cute :-) x

Great read, thanks!

Of course you can lose weight on a treadmill! Running anywhere on anything will help you to burn calories. I used to do HIIT on the treadmill. Now I go outside and run. Right now I can manage approx. 5 miles. The difference between the treadmill and the outdoors is that the treadmill provides momentum for you with the…

Last year I felt very lethargic, irritated and flabby. I took a long, hard look at myself in a full length mirror and hated what I saw. Especially the two huge tyres around my stomach. But what really made me aware of my weight for the very first time was when I was a young teen. On the train a boy was teasing one of my…

People have different perceptions about what defines being "fat". But if someone was clinically overweight/obese then yes they ought to lose weight because fat and medical problems more often than not come hand in hand.

I feel very perverted. When I first take a look at the picture I think to myself that it's a very sensual and alluring. And then I have to remind myself that she's only 10! In the photo she certainly doesn't look 10, more like an short teen. I suppose that is due to the make up. At least they did not show any cleavage or…

I'm all for Team UK! Xmas is a naughty time food-wise but I'm back on track and would like to slim down to a UK size 8 by April (size 12 currently). But then again, easter is a very naughty time food-wise as well. :S

Yaaayyy! I smell a shopping trip coming on :)

Cheesecake, muffins, any of that sweet baked stuff. Then there's pitta bread w/ humous that I love! Also fruit juices. I don't miss junk food like pizza, chips or take out curry at all. Just thinking about their fat content is enough to turn me off! Nothing beneficial about them and not even that delicious.

I'm a 6 ft female and my heaviest weight was 210 lbs. I'm currently 178.2 lbs and aim to be between 161-168 lbs

Holy crap! you look like a totally different person! And like someone here said earlier, you definitely look younger. Very well deserved, congrats!

I'm usually satisfied at 1100 calories and just choose to ignore the warnings. If you are full, there is no need to over eat.

I would recommend having your meal already prepared by the time your friends arrive and eating a light snack beforehand. This way you'll be less tempted to pick at the take out since you know you've got your meal waiting for you. I suggest a nice homemade chicken soup with diced vegetables. It's healthy and full of protein…

What sort of exercises do you do? How big are your portions for each meal and what types of food? It could be that 20 mins of exercise is insufficient in compensating for your total daily energy consumption from your 6 meals. You should be doing a minimum of 30 mins per day of strenuous exercise.
