I agree with anypandy1109, it is just the ultimate case of the green eyed monster. They are just jealous of what you have achieved because they probably don't have the willpower to do it themselves and can't handle seeing someone who has successfully done what they want to do. You have done fantastic, and you look great so…

Well done, you look amazing!!!

Hi, I'm 33 and a mother of a 10 month old boy. I gained over 3 and a half stone when pregnant (thankfully over 3 stone of it is gone now but still working on another stone off). Feel free to add me if you like! x

I tried weight watchers years ago before I ever knew mfp. I didn't like it as felt it didn't give much allowance (I know it has since changed how it works) and I didn't like the class leader who one night sharply handed my book back to me and said to me like I was a pupil in her class at school "do better next time". I…

You can add me if you like as I am always on the lookout for new friends for support and encouragement (I'm in Scotland too btw :happy: ). x

ps - sorry for the essay, lol! ^^^^^

It isn't easy to embark on a weight loss plan and stick to it so don't be too hard on yourself. It doesn't help not being able to exercise either. You could maybe try some light exercises which wouldn't do any serious damage? Every little bit helps. Some things I do which works for me is buying an item of clothing I like…

I have a few, most of them have already been mentioned but here they are anyway.... Live a 'normal' life as possible when trying to lose weight in order to sustain it. 'Adapt your diet and exercise into your life, not your life into your diet and exercise'. Be realistic and allow yourself treats as you will only end up…

Weetabix with ice cold semi skimmed milk! I love it, I'd eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I could :smile: .

I am sorry to hear about your ex, he sounds a total waste of space, you deserve much better than that! Feel free to add me as a friend for support and encouragement x

I wish I had an answer. I crave chocolate like mad before my period and I HAVE to have it, no amount of will power or thought of weight loss will stop me. It sucks :(

Could it maybe be your body reacting to the different calorie intakes you are having, like going from 1200 cals a day originally up to 2000 and then down to 490, etc? That was my first thought at reading your post. I would wait until you have been doing the 5:2 diet for at least 2 weeks before you weigh yourself to get an…

Hi, welcome to the forums. I have sent you a friend request if you want to add me for support and encouragement. Well done on losing 66 pounds. I know what you mean about losing and gaining, I do that a lot myself. It is kind of true what they say, it's not the losing weight that's the hardest part, it is the maintaining!

I am really sorry to hear about your loss. Please try and eat something no matter how much you don't feel like it. If you really can't eat, then try drinking protein shakes to build yourself up for the time being. Or even eating small portions throughout the day so eating won't feel as overwhelming for you? Take care xx

^^this^^ . If you break up your targets and goals into small chunks, they will seem easier to reach, and won't overwhelm you as much. You will also get incredible motivation every time you reach a goal and be raring to go on to meet the next. It is very hard keeping up the motivation for losing weight, it can be among one…

This is exactly the problem with warning people of this diet, as they are seeing instant results and won't want to listen to sense. Once this diet has got hold, it is hard to get anyone to stop. Sadly as others have said, anyone on this diet will need to learn the hard way. I hope your sister sees sense soon.

Wow! you are looking fantastic and have done so well!

Completely agree with this! You have hit the nail bang on the head here

Don't get me started on this 'diet'. I have a friend on this diet and apart from the fact it is unhealthy and potentially dangerous, it has made her obsessed with dieting and promoted an extremely unhealthy relationship with food. This diet is just starvation and one step away from, if not actually being, an eating…

I am addicted to jaffa cakes and cups of tea, and I hate (most) vegetables and water

The 'go f**k yourself with a cactus' response was uncalled for, but I have to say, you didn't exactly cover yourself in glory with your original post. I've learned that you need to have a thick skin for using internet forums at the best of times, but you can't expect no negative responses at all to your original post.…

Very sorry to hear about your mum :flowerforyou: . Well done on joining MFP, we are a friendly supportive bunch and it is a great site to use for losing weight and keeping the motivation going x

I'm on day 46 and lost 12 pounds so far x

Please don't let it get to you, losing weight is a hard thing to do and it can be especially difficult when someone close to you is doing what you want to do. Jealousy in cases like this is a natural emotion, but it is important that you don't let it control you or affect your friendship which I am guessing is otherwise a…

Thank u guys x

Sorry to hear that, I hope they close over with physio exercises and you don't have to get surgery. I know someone who had that and physio closed the muscles over again with no surgery so hope it is the same for you. x

I can definitely notice the difference. Well done, you are looking great!
