Vodka, lime and soda sounds quite nice! I know a few of my friends drink that and they love it, so I might give it a go! I'm so used to drinking vodka and diet coke that I can finish a glass in no time at all without noticing, so maybe a slight change in drink might help me slow down a bit and enjoy the taste. Enjoy your…

Haha, I'm lucky that the thought of food when I'm drinking doesn't appeal to me! I would always be the one trying to steer all my friends away from the takeaways after a night out!! :P

:)

Thank you :) I really don't know how this post has taken such a horrible turn. I made one comment which, in hindsight, I shouldn't have worded the way I did as it does not accurately reflect who I am NOW and my current alcohol intake (which is next to nothing!) I've been made to feel like an absolute idiot - so thank you…

You're right - I more than likely will find I'm feeling a bit woozy after a couple of drinks, considering how long it's been since I last had alcohol and now that I've lost a bit of weight! As hard as it is to believe (considering how this post has gone) I'm actually fairly sensible on nights out (when it comes to staying…

I should maybe arrange a gym date with a friend for the next day and make them hold me to it no matter what! Having that in the back of my mind would probably make me want to stay sober the entire night haha! And thank you for not judging :) I feel about >< this small (I can't quite find the punctuation marks to accurately…

Perhaps. I really wish I hadn't posted this now, or had at least not mention my alcohol consumption, as it doesn't reflect who I am NOW. It reflects who I was in my binge drinking years at Uni. I'm aware that it is a ridiculous amount to drink, I'm not oblivious to the effects of alcohol and I realise that it is extremely…

Nope, never ended up in hospital! Never even been sick! I guess when I go out this weekend I'll probably realise that I can't drink as much as I used to. I think the reason I used to drink so much is because it was cheaper to have 'pre drinks' in the house - so I'd drink as much as I could.. then when I was out I'd be…

Thank you for all the advice. I think I have my answer now, I guess this post is done..

Not often at all - like I've said in previous post, I may just be assuming that I'm still the same person I was during my binge drinking student days. I rarely drink at all nowadays. Well, from the reactions I'm getting I guess I'm going to not worry about the calories in what I'm drinking and take more notice how the…

I'm sure I'm not the first person to have had a lot to drink on nights out. I don't want this to turn into a post where people judge or criticise me for my alcohol intake. I drink once in a blue moon nowadays. I'm aware that I drink a lot occasionally. To be honest, the 'over 19 drinks' was probably the old me - I haven't…

I mean on 'big' nights out when everyone is drinking, dancing etc. I'm perfectly ok with only having a few drinks if I'm just out for a social lunchtime thing, and I'm fine with drinking nothing at all. It's purely on these nights out that I feel uncomfortable if I've only had a few drinks.

At the moment my daily calorie intake is 1300-400. I know it sounds bad, but 19 drinks is less than what I'd usually consume on a night out, which is why I'm so worried about it affecting my weight loss for the week! :/

Hmmm, I'm not so sure about this one actually. As a relatively clean eater I wouldn't have a problem eating packaged meals like that. It probably wouldn't be my first choice of meal, but I wouldn't kick up a fuss if I had to eat it. I think foods like that just come down to personal preference - if you consider it to be…

Yes, this! I completely agree. This frustrates me so much! People know exactly what is meant when someone refers to 'clean' and 'processed' food, but they simply have to have their obnoxious input. Of course the exact definition will differ between different people, but the basic premise is the same. To me, 'clean' eating…

I was always consistently around 196 - 208 lbs (at 5' 6" this was overweight, but I carried my weight well, so I was relatively happy with my figure). But in my last couple of years at University I started to spiral out of control, fell into a deep depression and suffered from agoraphobia. I neglected my health completely…

Oh my God, me too! I didn't realise it was a disorder with a name and everything though, I just thought i was weird! I actually want to/feel like I'm going to explode when people make repetitive irritating noises. I have a specific hatred of noises at meal times - chewing, or scraping the plate too many times with the…

More often than not, the person who loses the least is the person who has done the least work that week. The idea is that the ones who give it their all to stay in the game are the ones who deserve to be there. Obviously you get the odd week where someone gives it their all, but their body just does not want to cooperate…

I'm the same, I weigh every day... purely because I just can't stand not knowing!! I only record my actual weight every week/every two weeks sometimes... but I just can't help hopping on the scales every morning when I'm in the bathroom - just to keep an eye on things! I find weighing every day has helped me notice a…

Like previously mentioned, the hardest thing for me is patience! It's so difficult when you're doing so well, exercising, eating well, losing weight... but you still wake up fat every day. I wish the weight could just drop off, but I know it can't. It can be so demotivating when I think about how far I've still got to go -…

You need to use those negative feelings to your advantage! Every time you feel like giving up just remind yourself of how you felt when you saw that picture of yourself. Hopefully that will spur you on to reach your goals! Every time I feel like giving up, or stuffing my face, I sit there for a minute, compose myself, then…

I used to go on nights out all the time, but decided to cut down on them as they were a contributing factor in my weight gain. I lost a bit of weight, felt better about myself, so decided to 'reward' myself with a night out. Was happily minding my own business when I walked past a group of guys and one started singing 'who…

Looking at your ticker it shows that you want to lose 113lbs, which is exactly what I am wanting to lose - so here's what I am doing, I hope it helps you a bit :) At the moment, I have set my goals to lose 2lbs per week. MFP calculated that I'd need to be eating 1250 calories, but I upped it to 1300 (wow... haha huuuuge…

Thank you for all your responses! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who is a little scared of what the future holds! A lot of you have touched on a few points that really hit a chord with me. Someone mentioned that change is scary - and I think that may be my main problem. I'm definitely a creature of habit, so any…

Usually eyes or smile initially... But I have a thing for noses! I love when guys have a bump on their nose! Broken, squint... I love a quirky nose!

I used it when I was just starting out with exercising and it was great for the goals I had back then. I was new to exercise, so although the Wii Fit isn't incredibly strenuous, I still found that my heart rate was up and I was breaking a sweat. I found that the jogging, hula hoop and step class were the ones that were…

Ah sorry, I wasn't aware I'd written an essay!!

I agree with both of you, however I, too, have given up on online dating whilst I'm on my weightloss journey. This is for a couple of reasons. Predominantly, it's down to insecurity - I personally want to be 'the finished product', or as close to it as possible, before I put myself out there again. It's not because I think…

I bought a pair of jeans without trying them on a few months ago... I deluded myself into thinking they were my size. Got home and couldn't even get them past my thighs!! :( Put them on the other day and they zipped up perfectly! :D

Can't get enough of them! Anyway, we digress... To the OP - sorry I can't be of much help to you, I hope you manage to figure out what the issue is! There is a lot of good advice on these forums, try checking out other threads where people have a similar problem, you might find some answers there. Good luck :)
