" Clinically interested " is for the BRAVE!! :smile:

Not every Doctor treats you awful to be fair, mines follows me on Twitter!! ;)

I wouldn't recommend weighing yourself everyday. For me I weigh in once a week, on the same day every week and around the same time. First thing in the morning and before breakfast. Don't be afraid of bathroom scales, it's one of my weapons, without them I wouldn't know how much I weigh and knowing how much you weigh every…

Sorry to hear you are struggling with depression @MzCara148 it really is no fun at all. I also have depression and I am pretty sure my emotional eating got me in the mess I am now getting myself out of when it comes to weight. We are ALL emotional creatures and a lot of us take comfort in food. But when that comfort…

Thank you very much for the warm welcome everyone and @bigghunny :) Friend Request sent!

Welcome aboard, it's never too late, you have came to the right place :)

Add me guys. I will do my best to motivate you, we can motivate each other. Let's do this. Make 2018 something to look back at with a huge grin on all of our face.

Thank you kindly @PloddingTurtle you are correct that ' get healthy ' or ' lose weight ' is vague, but it's why we are here right? It really is complex, I could write a book on it, and I might. Adding you right now. I also log in every day. I got streaks to kill haha :)

Hi @PloddingTurtle where to I begin haha, well I was an emotional eater, it was my way of coping with my depression. I've known for quite some time ( watching the weight creep back up and up ) that if I didn't do something about it I would eat myself into an early grave. Near the end of last year I promised myself that I…

Hey, thanks for adding me guys. Lets make 2018 something very special!!

My name is Steve, been here since 2013, lost 98lbs then and put it all back on. Since May this year I have dropped 34lbs. This is my second and final attempt. This time it's for good. I ain't getting any younger, been going it alone mostly. Feel free to add me for support and motivation. Today I am down to 355 lbs.

I would log everything and stick to your plan to lose weight, take only Christmas day off.

I weigh myself once a week, my weigh in day, it could become an obsession stepping on the scales everyday once a week worked fine for me when I lost 7 stone.

do what I do and weigh it as raw before you cook it weight out what you need and input for raw as all you are adding is water to the rice and water has no calories.

Thanks guys and sorry for the confusion :(

Hi and thank you for your reply. I cannot measure salt in foods that Is already in the food with a measuring spoon because Its already in the food prior to cooking.

Dessertless on a dessert Island? :p

Feel free to add me. I am a very big bloke and on the same path that you find yourself In.

I've lost 94lb's and increased my water Intake drastically so should I stop drinking water and become dehydrated and die? No I didn't think so either.

Hi I will add you also :)

Thank you very much JustMeee333.

Goodluck Stu. Once you reach your goal perhaps keep logging what you eat and stay to maintain. Might work out better for you In the long run so the weight stays off after all your hard work. All The Best Steve

I am here as back In May of this year my back broke, basically I could not walk at all and any little walking I did try was absolute torture. A visit to the doctor and a hop on the scales told me I was over 350lb. I woke up and realised this has to change. My back Is now almost the way It was before It broke and I will…

I weigh In once a week first thing In the morning after visiting the loo.

Hi I have been losing weight since May. Look at my banner, that IS how much I have lost by calorie counting and regular exercise. I eat what I want and when I want and log absolutely everything that passes my lips. Your food diary IS your best friend. Add me as a friend to see all my progress If you like as I have a long…
