I know what you mean - I really need to get some pictures out to see the difference with me. I've lost 97 lbs since starting this journey in June 2010 and just looked back at my records and 53 lbs of that has been since 21st November 2010. Definately time to dig out the pictures :-)

Hi, My name is Cath and I'm 41 years old and live in the UK. I work nights in a residential special needs school, back in February got promotion to assistant team manager which means quite a bit of walking around on nights I'm running shift normally 2 out of every 4 shifts. I started this weight loss journey in June 2010…

Hi, My name is Cath and I have a 15 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - basically she has saved my life, I was extremely overweight 319 lbs and end of June 2010 started to try and lose some weight with some little success, then in August Alexi was born and I was offered her, she came to live with us in October 2010…

When I get up in the afternoon (about 3pm) I normally take my dog out for a nice long walk. I'm also doing a part-time job, delivering catalogues to people's doors and then collecting them in a day or two later with their orders, so doing quite a bit of walking doing that. When at work on a night shift, if we are fully…

I get home off a night shift and into bed at about 8am - don't normally have anything to eat before going to bed I sleep until about 2pm, and then get up, depending on whether I'm hungry or not I might have a snack - either a low calorie fruit bar, or some fruit Between 5pm and 6pm…

Hi, Just found this group and what a great idea, at least here we can all talk in stones and people will understand us, and can refer to products without having to work out the equivalent american name i.e. chips = fries etc. I'm Cath - i'm 41 and now live in Somerset. I was born and grew up in Cornwall, but moved to…

Hi and welcome to our group. This week's challenge is - 21 veggies/fruit during the week, the 21 x jumping jacks each day, and the 21's. The water was last week's challenge, and so was the walking. The pushups were a penalty last week for those that put their information in late. I personally going to try and keep up the…

So glad someone else is finding that........I never used to have breakfast, but being told it's the most important meal of the day, have started having something - and like you - finding i'm hungrier for the rest of the day, and struggling to keep within my calories. I'm sorry but I don't have a solution or answer to this,…
