Broad beans. The one vegetable I couldn't stand as a kid and still can't. Vivid memories of sitting at the dinner table retching over my broad beans. Disgusting things.

"Fix You" by Coldplay

Depends which one you're looking at. I'm the one with the glasses. The "glowing" one, is my beautiful daughter :smile:

OK, just to clarify :smile: My comments were made out of concern/consideration for OTHERS here - not for myself. I'm old enough and ugly enough (joke!) to protect my own self-esteem, so I wouldn't post in a thread like this in the first place. I just felt, reading through the discussion, that some of the people who posted,…

Why thank you kind Sir :wink:

@yep_imchicbad You can say that because you're obviously gorgeous, but if you were currently overweight, working your butt off to improve that, and didn't feel too happy about the way you looked, would you REALLY laugh it off, if the guy posting after you said he'd run? It would be pretty clear that he was running because…

I really don't like these kinds of threads. I know they're for entertainment purposes, but given the fact that so many of us here are trying to lose weight and improve the way we look, discussions that focus on physical appearance really don't help us with our self esteem. I think we should be encouraging each other rather…

I agree with you about the sugar. If I keep sweet treats out of my cupboards and stay away from them at work morning teas etc, I can happily do without them. But the moment I tell myself "oh, just one will be fine" - I am screwed. I can't stop at one, ever. I actually find the same thing with savoury/salty foods. Potato…

There is now :smile: Hi, I'm Carren and I live in Timaru. I'm 53 and am at a place in my life where I need to start focusing on reinventing myself, and, in the words of my daughter ... "You need to get a life Mum!" That daughter is leaving home tomorrow, to start a tertiary course and go flatting, so from tomorrow onwards,…

Oops, sorry! Just found my answer.

Johnny Deep, Sean Connery (yes he's ancient but he's still hot!) or Shemar Moore (from Criminal Minds).

That is an amazing achievement. You should be so proud of yourself. Way to go! :-)

That's an amazing result. Well done you! You look great :-)

WOW! That's an amazing transformation! You must be so proud of yourself. Bet you feel a lot healthier and fitter too :-)

You look great :-) You can definitely see that you've lost weight. Well done!

I have mixed feelings about it. If the husband is genuinely doing this as an incentive to lose weight - a bit of fun and a reward - then that's ok. If, on the other hand, he is doing this because HE is unhappy/embarrassed/uncomfortable with his wife's weight/the way she looks - then I would be really concerned by that.

If your profile photo is current, you certainly don't look like you need to lose another 5 stone. Do you mind me asking what your goal weight is? You have lost heaps of weight so you should be really proud of yourself. I guess there is always the risk, with this weight loss thing, that we start to obsess about what we look…

Wow! That is amazing :smile: You must be SO proud of yourself. Thanks for the inspiration to keep going. If you can do it so that the rest of us. Have a great day :flowerforyou:
