I was about 142kg when I started. Then I got down to around 112. Unfortunately, I am a terrible yoyo dieter and got back up to 135.5kg (off and on). Finally down to around 123kg with A LOT of work left to go. I am still trying to get used to eating a better diet again, then will add more exercise. It can be done, but its…

Me too!!

Yup this. I find that if you don't actually eat what helps the cravings (for me its chocolate). I will eat and eat and eat. It ends up worse. This is also a great way to fix the cravings and is strongly recommended as a "healthier" option. However, this means a small amount, not the entire huge block LOL

My sister takes it, it does suppress her hunger. However, like anything, she always ends up going back to her crap eating habits (as a lot of us do). So the change is in what you eat, how you much you eat and exercise. Over the years I have found, everything works to a degree, but its the fact we are naturally inclined to…

That actually sounds better than our traditional meal times. A lot of theory supports a heaver lunch and a lighter dinner. So I personally think as long as your're not driven to over eating in the evenings, if sounds like a good plan.

I was you at the same age. I looked ok, so no one really knew my torment. Do you have a close friend or sibling? I agree you need some therapy of some sort. I'm now 17 years down the track and never had help. I am obese but struggle everyday still with the starvation or binging or binge/purge. So because I never had help,…

That just made me bawl like a little baby! It hits too close to home for me. Anyway, just wanted to say I am blown away, more by the words though. Thank you so much for that:smile:

Fantastic results!! You are truly an inspiration xx

We don't fast on Good Friday?? Haven't really heard of it to be honest. Its up to you I suppose. We just go to church and not eat meat etc... Good luck!!

Funny I found this...but anyway.... I turned my head around just a little while ago. I got a big fright! I saw this huge lump...however after the initial shock, realised it was my shoulder bone LOL That was a definite unexpected surprise!! Other than that? Hmm not a lot at this stage unfortunately other than more energy…

Was about 310lbs, lost around 56lbs. Not a perfect eater, if you can handle that! Trying to be more comitted this year (well starting now!) Don't let my last couple days freak you out, had 2 days off LOL feel free to add me :-)

Seriously? A thigh gap? Man I must be getting old....seems really OTT.

I can't help you with with the exercise except say swimming?? Possibly?? But I have so far just changed my eating habits with only walking half hour once a week (so not really any exercise) and I have lost 35lbs in about 104 days now? If you change your eating at least, that will help get a bit of the weight off. It may…

Chicken breast Steak Brocolli Beans Yoghurt Bananas Eggs Lite Milk Pears Protein shake

I occasionally do it. As long as its within the week (yes learn't off WW too) :smooched:

This is what I was thinking. She's only 30lbs difference? I would suck it up and take it or leave it. Only if she wasn't doing this stuff and was more overweight then I would be worried about health etc.. She is older now, bodies change. We aren't going to be a 20 year old body when we are 40 odd. Some people are just…

SO why cover the "abled" Olympics then if that's the case?

Thats great!! Just pipped in to say...Hi, I am in Whangarei too ;-) A very small world! (But I am MUCH older LOL)

I like guys that are of bigger build (not necessarily muscles though). Um..I like a nice nose?? I do like teeth though too LOL. Hubby is thin has good muscles but he knows I find "bigger' guys attractive. I can't help myself! He can't put on weight either LOL He's "one of those" people.:laugh:

I hear you. Especially (if you are like me) the self sabotage starts to kick in... Just try and think as positively as you can. Stay in the moment. Do what you can NOW and if it starts lurking..then kick its *kitten* :-) Its a hard road! All you can do is your best. Also to remind yourself when you start to get the urges…

I just think that you are just so brave. You can do this! Its very inspirational to see that you are the size you are and are willing to put in the hard yards. I was "only" 310lbs and was overwhelmed (and still am) about how much "I' have to lose. I have so far only Iost 15lbs. But as others have said, its one goal at a…

If you are only eating 1200 and exercising and are hungry. I would say eat more. Trial it. Are you at your lowest goal? Or the highest 2lbs goal? I would change it if you are at the highest and start from there. You shouldn't been extremely hungry.

I found I had the same problem. All you can do is tell them what you need too, then delete friend. They are only going to look for friends who are more like minded in the long term anyway. It's sad, but there isn't much you can do. But I understand your frustration!

I've lost only 15 lbs and my differences are not as noticeable as yours! That is just beautiful! You are doing a fantastic job x

Hmmm Yes, hear you! 46/F-G here....NONE!!!! Also exercise apparel. You would think someone would have the idea...wow bigger girls need some A; awesome clothing B: awesome exercise clothing C: Awesome underwear/sports bras They would be rich! (I am in NZ so can't find ANYTHING) Oh and if you do, its about 2 or 3 times the…

Listening to my children bickering..its cold and raining and I am moving in 2 weeks so should be packing. Along with all the assignments I "should" be doing, instead of looking at random threads on MFP :bigsmile: (much of a mouthful?) LOL

NZ too...

LOL cause if I said I was American I would be lying LOL I am a kiwi from New Zealand with Maori, Yugoslavian and Russian background. Parents both from NZ though.

I really do think it does. I was drinking 8 plus and losing really well (its winter here so really cold and its hard to LOL) Anyway, last week and a few days before that, I got slack at drinking water. I was only having 3 or 4 cups. My loss wasn't as good, half the amount. But my eating was about the same? So I don't know.…
