Well that's amazing, hope you treated yourself to something nice and all the hard work will help you keep it off. I'm sitting here just thinking how brilliant people are, once you get your head in the right place and want to do it, you CAN! Great pics too, cheers!

Ireland- the Sunny South east corner :) Hello everyone! :)

Add me if you wish-no terms and conditions here, but i've to warn you I'm Irish and not all food i eat you will know and vice versa! :)

Feeling cold & then shopping for your new body shape- i still don't know what suits me!!

For me there were two: The Hand that Rocks the Cradle-i have asthma and when the mum died as a result of an asthma attack well that was it!!! The Fly-when he vomited on his food and transformed into a fly-revolting. Have not watched any type of film remotely like Horror etc anymore!! No thanks!

Sounds lovely.. Is there an alternative for 'Vanilla Almond Breeze', is it a drink? Milk? Sorry never heard of it before, if i can't find an alternative Skim Milk will do. Cheers!

I dont know anything about thyroid but i think your health is No.1 and everything will fall into place after that.... Just breathe.. (Hugs)

Bump means, making the thing current.. pushing it up on the priority line i think.. As for the other one i can't help you there but would like to know myself to!

Elderflower cordial is divine.... I'd love to try some of those flavored tea bags or Mio but in Ireland these things are virtually non existent!

Jump into the shower and relax .... try some deep heat cream maybe if you need to. I found my muscles ached like crazy when i was recovering from a severe shoulder break, the only relief i found was shower and maybe bit of electric blanket and if i had to then tablet (pain killer) .. Good luck with it. It'll get easier!

Hi Owl5454, i'm 5'2 and find similar difficulties. Just get your head in the right place and you'll be fine. Lots of support here... :)

What's careened? I'd try still avoid, the crankiness will pass. It could be hormonal, not at all to do with your withdrawals? I can of course be way off, feel free to correct me!

Bump!

BMI and i heard a doctor recommending someone of 5'2 to be 58kg! That's it.

Oh my prayers have been answered.. Up the Irish (this should help us help each other, no more of the 'USA type food recipe's maybe, time for some Irish meals (nothing meant by that but so many foods are so different and i often get bored with my cooking. Sorry .... I'm from Wexford, the Sunny South East. History: I've been…

I'd not fancy trying this, the color alone would put me off. Have you tried Honey & Apple Cider Vinegar, its lovely and aids weight loss so i've been told.

I reached my goal and am on maintenance & am struggling with the 500 calorie increase that i'm expected to have on maintenance, so i'm so so nervous, I wanted to close off but i think this maintenance might not do me any favors as in i think i'm going to gain so am not confident enough to quit. Don't get me wrong i'm…

I'd be honest and say either yes please a sliver of whatever or i'd say, thanks for the thought but i'm only a healthy eating drive and i'm not going to ... Thank you so much. Job done. Or if i've a friend with me, i'd nudge her and say 'Want to share?'

It took me a year but my advice is: Get your head in the right place, you are going to do this and do this ONCE! Exercise a little more when you can. I used to exercise twice a week and this was only walking but varied my route according to my energy. Use a pedometer, or something like Nike + to help you. Weigh and measure…

You have 21% body fat. You have 11.6 Kilograms of fat and 43.4 Kilograms of lean (muscle, bone, body water). Again i'm happy ish but don't know how much body fat i should have. Mm.. Using the pinch of salt that was suggested!

That helps, thank you so much. Siobhan

Got the advice by emailing here. My latest query is.. I've reached my goal, well slightly under it, so now want to maintain my weight so went onto settings and clicked maintain. Now i've an added problem. I'm so used to eating 1270 Calories per day i am struggling to stick with the maintenance recommendation calories of…

Wow.... Well done :) Lets hope we get the advice we are both looking for!

Im a Social Care Worker.:happy:

I weigh weekly on the same scales in the pharmacy. I also note that on my menstrual cycle i can gain a few pounds so dont worry about that too much as it shows the loss the following week. I've a lot of will power so weekly does it for me... Good luck!

Hi there, looks like a delicious diner, only quesiton hi have for you i've not heard of these items, are their substitutes? 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, seeded and minced 2 teaspoons adobo sauce from the can of chipotles Thank you.

Sure it happens.... It took me forever to lose the last 4 pounds i needed too. I might hit that wall again... So your not alone! Do you know that on your menstrual cycle you can gain weight, so just remember this. It does help on bad weeks, chin up! ;)

Thanks for that.. I'll have a read.
