I can definitely see a difference, you are doing great so keep going and you will reach your target in no time! If you fall off the wagon, just get back on it again as every day is a new day :smile: . Hey, some dieticians even say if you have a day off it kick starts the metabolism again so it's not necessarily a bad…

Great idea to start this thread! I am on day 6 of the shred tomorrow and some days are easier than others. My current stats are: Height: 5 ft 5inches Weight: 159 pounds Dress size 14 top and 12 below.

sushi or eggs! bleurgh!

I'm on day 2. It just about killed me on my first day but found it slightly easier second time. I can't do push ups to save myself but I like the rest of it! x

Thanks everyone. if it was even just a pound or 2 between them I wouldn't be so bothered but 6 is quite a bit and I'd hate to think I am half a stone lighter when I'm not, lol. mazdauk, good idea, I am going to start using a tape measure too and see if there is a loss detected as it might give me a better idea. m4ttcheek,…

As others have said, anyone who makes comments which makes people feel bad about losing weight, it's more about themselves and how they feel about their own weight which drives them to say these things. They are just annoyed that you have successfully lost weight and they aren't doing as well as you. Take it as a…

Welcome to MFP, and good luck! I've sent you a friend request, add me and we can help support each other x

Feel free to add me, I'm in Scotland and I joined MFP 3 weeks ago and in that time I've lost 8 pounds. x

I know exactly what you mean! I am not a fan of diets which involve protein shakes, etc. I prefer losing weight by cutting down on junk food, and exercising more. It is more sustainable, realistic, and (probably) healthier. I've lost half a stone in 3 weeks using MFP through eating healthier and exercising more. I've sent…

Wow! well done, you look fantastic xxx

You deserve, and can do, so much better than this guy. You are not ugly or fat, he is only saying you are to break down your confidence so you won't have the confidence in yourself to believe you can get out there and do better. Don't let him ruin your confidence because of his dysfunction. Like the previous post said,…

Omg, that is awful. What I find most disturbing is that with your extra weight you are a size 12 which is nowhere near fat! I think he is playing shock tactics to get you to be the weight he wants you to be. Be the weight you want to be, and if you want to lose weight, do it for yourself and nobody else. In your profile…

The Hangover. I didn't dislike it or not enjoy it, however I didn't find it as funny as it was made out to be! Also, I liked Dirty Dancing however, not as much as everyone else seemingly did. I don't get all the hype about it, maybe it's because of the era it was out.

I am not sure if this is helpful, but what about fresh orange juice (the 100% natural type) mixed with low sugar lemonade? There might still be some sugar intake from the lemonade as even the low sugar stuff will still have a bit of sugar in it but it will be healthier than orange lucozade. I am addicted to tea, I drink…

Hello and welcome! Oh, and many congrats on your baby of course! :flowerforyou: Feel free to add me for support if you like. I had a baby last August and still trying to lose the baby weight. To be fair, I haven't really tried until now as my head has never been in it. A lot of the weight fell off naturally in time however…

Good luck and welcome! you can add me if you like and I'll help support you

Thanks everyone, you've helped give me some motivation. I don't think it helps that I have quite a short concentration span lol.

You waist is definitely smaller, well done! Like the previous poster said, try taking photos from sideways on and you might get a better idea if your stomach has got smaller or not as face on it's harder to tell.

Welcome to the site, I've sent you a friend request. Monitoring the calories on here is really encouraging as it stops you going over your limit and it still allows you treats so isn't too restrictive. Someone on here said in one of their posts an excellent quote "it isn't the start that matters, it is the finish" which I…

You can add me if you want. I am aiming to lose 28 lbs

You did it before, so you can do it again! Good luck! and thanks for sharing your story x

Welcome! I'll add you as a friend and we can motivate each other x
