I love this, gonna remember this cos I sweat loads when working out :laugh:

I get annoyed with where they put the waistline, sometimes it is near the belly button other times it is on the ribs just under the boobs. I find the sizes change season to season, or even batch of clothing to next batch. Leggings are terrible, sometimes they will say they are one size but in fact are smaller, I also…

I totally agree with you. I also watched an interesting HBO documentary on weightloss. The same doctors who discovered leptin have discovered that when you lose weight your brain will try to bring your weight back to pre weightloss to get those leptin levels back, so even when you have lost weight you need to live on…

Have you watched any of Robert Lustig? He gets down to the nitty gritty of sugar and what it does and how bad for you it can be. He has several videos on youtube just type his name in the search and loads will come up.

Now I have a lot of problems regarding weight loss, When I get constipated which is very often, I gain weight, when you think about it it is obvious, if it goes in but nothing comes out for days then yes you gain weight, diet is doing well as it is healthier blood work comes back good, blood pressure has gone down, but the…

I have been reading a book called "the diet delusion" by Gary Taubes. in it he goes through how Ancel Keys misrepresented data and lied to Eisenhower. All data is open to interpretation and for each study that says sugar is bad you will find a study saying no its fine, my problem is that they know high fructose corn syrup…

Doctor referred me to weight management and it's them that are having a go at me for the scale not going down, it really annoys me cos it causes me more stress and I even told them if they aren't happy do they want me to stop eating? Seems they are happy to take the scale into account and nothing else...

Thank you everyone I have had Celiac tests done = clear, negative thyroid tests done = closer to high levels cross panel bloods tested = all fine so it seems I will have to work it out with my diet, looks like it will be trial and effort but will be so worth it when I work it out I do find I am sluggish feeling and tired…

I have downloaded the fodmap and will attempt items one group at a time and see if that makes the difference, thanks for all the help

stress does make my IBS worse and this whole losing weight thing is stressing me cos the scale is not agreeing with the low calorie intake, I have gone from no exercise at all to exercising 5-6 days a week minimum, and this is workouts at the gym, classes and machines, calorie intake down, but I do think the more…

Thank you all maybe its my body's revenge for all the crash diets in the past, I have never had problems losing weight till now, but, in the past I did calorie restrict, all the weight I have gained has been due to ssri's, 50+ to lose, I will keep at it, unfortunately I have to take laxatives daily under medical…

I no longer eat any junk food, I eat plenty of veg and a smaller amount of fruit as the recommendations are 2 of your 5 a day to be fruit the rest veg, it has been a long standing problem 16+ years, on paper everything is correct and I should be losing weight, the tape measure has shown reductions, the bodyfat readings…

I am from UK too, Blackpool to be precise :) feel free to add me :)

I log the stuff I never did before I made the decision to be healthier until it becomes normal... i.e walking to and from supermarket ( as I used to catch bus there and taxi back) some cooking not all as now I am making from scratch and its those meals that I log( before I ate a lot of pre-made foods) I don't log all…

just have to love youtube :)

I love this, cos it makes me think " if a duck can do this then maybe I can too" so one day soon I will have a go at standing on one leg and stretching my arm back, it sounds quite graceful (unlike me) so I hope I survive to tell the tale :)

you made me feel normal, I am the same shape as you but am an 18 on the bottom, I found dark coloured joggers from sports direct were smaller than light coloured ones same with tops, so like others have said, different sizes in different shops, well done on achieving what you already have ( confidence) keep at it and…

I just had a run in with my daughter this morning... I have gone without to give her what she wants... now she expects everything and to come first, has no respect whatsoever for me and talks to me like I am dirt... so yes this morning I cussed at her cos I am sick of being verbally abused by her...

I drink more than 10 8oz cups, I am not depressed anxious etc and I sleep straight after drinking coffee at night, but I have been told I am addicted to caffeine and would have to withdraw slowly... I do believe it also hinders weight-loss in large amounts... there are studies being done to determine whether it causes…

I drink coffee and lots of it... I am overweight by over 40lbs... in my experience... NO IT DOES NOT HELP... if it did I would be as thin as a nail with the amount I drink, and I don't have cream or sugar with it....

50g porridge oats and 270ml semi-skimmed milk with TWO tsp sugar total 347 calories and absolutely delicious :smile:

I am finding in today's society a lot of people are damned if they do and damned if they don't... You are creepy cos you made the wrong type of compliment... you're a weirdo cos you don't say much... basically every action a person does there is a derogatory comment for it... you just have to be with the "in crowd" to get…

I too thought the same thing ha ha ha and they really are quite annoying

that has made it easier for me to understand, thank you

only one pot lol I am on a reduction plan, doen to two pots now was on 5 pots a day, I drink it in mugs so a pot makes about 5 mugs depending on my mood depends if I have milk... but black with mixed spice and ginger is good

Thank you so much, I already cut bread out cos I knew that was making me hungrier, now if I do have bread, I make it myself... At least I know I am not alone in feeling really hungry within a couple of hours, well the sound of Quinoa pasta makes me want some, will have to hunt around till I find it... Again thank you so…

I aint cheap I am just skint so I will have to wait till it appears on a car boot sale (flea market, I think they are in USA) ha ha ha

I think people are being quite rude and nasty to a comment that has been said over and over again... "stop under eating" my Doctor told me this, this is the real reason weight loss plateaus for SOME not ALL people... calories in and calories out are different for everyone, we can not measure exactly how many calories we…

I myself have flitted from "skinny fat" as described above to "fat fat", I am now determined to stop that cycle and be fit and healthy... there is a difference, I am losing inches so heading back to the skinny but doing it with healthier food choices and exercise rather than calorie restriction as I always did in the…
