about 200lb to lose here O.o Add me!

That sounds like a nightmare! I thought it was tricky getting hold of the WW one, but that only goes up to 28st/392lb. It might feel a bit degrading, but if there's no other way I did hear about a guy asking a local scrap metal place if he could use their scale for free once a month, just to keep track until he was light…

I'm up for this!

I'm here :)

Every single day to stick to it and don't go back to 9000 calories a day IS a success, you're doing amazingly! There's already such a massive difference in your pictures :)

You've done SO well! Congratulations, you look incredibly healthy!

Hi there :) I'm really glad you've decided to try again - you're already heading in the right direction! I have about 130lb to lose and it seems like an impossible task sometimes, but when I'm feeling down I just search out the before and after pictures on the 'success stories' board and boom, motivation! One day at a time…

Wow, you've lost 120lb AND about 20 years - you look so healthy now!! Thank you for the inspiration - I'm at 332 now and it seems almost impossible that I'll ever look like a 'normal' person again, so your photos are a great help :)

I'd just like to thank you for helping me beat a bacon craving. *shudder*

You look fantastic!! Well done :)

Heya :) Big tummy problem here too, it's so frustrating! I'm also too paranoid to go to the gym or swimming yet... soon though..I have a spanx type top that I wear sometimes that might do the job if you paired it with some spanx shorts - it's like an underbust dress type thing that completely covered my tummy, effectively…

Do you like tomato sauces, the type you get on pasta or pizza? If so, you could try cooking up lots of peppers, onions, courgette etc in a big pan in the oven with a little oil and some garlic, and then whizz them up in a blender with a couple of cans of chopped tomatoes and a whole tube of tomato puree. You'll hardly…

I saw 'Vamp U' last night, and it's another of those so bad it's good films ;) Fifth Element is a favourite, it's just one of those films that you'll see once, and then everytime you catch it on TV, have to watch to the end because 'the next bit's good' 'oh, and the next bit..' and then it's 2am. Also, Alien opera. Fight…

Aragorn!! Yay :D

Hi there ;) I'm so glad I found this group! I'm from the UK and I've got around 200lb to lose to get down to an 'ideal' weight... and damn is it scary! I'm looking at my best friend and thinking ;I have to lose nearly TWO of you?' I can empathise with so many who've posted here - I feel like I'm not living some days, just…

Sarcastic, witty, fat and references LoTR? I'm sarcastic, witty and fatter; I must friend you hard immediately.

I love threads like this! Here's my lunch; 3 grain organic seed bread slice with Philadelphia light with grilled peppers, ham and cucumber Cheddar with mustard seeds Veggies and caramelised onion humous.

I :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: Bentos! I have too much bento stuff but am absolutely addicted! Once my girls are back at school after the Easter break, I'll be making bento lunches for all of us again, it's just so much fun. If you're just getting started, check out Justbento.com for literally 1000s of recipes, and also…

You should see this ;) http://dailyoftheday.com/how-to-get-a-bikini-body/ If you want to wear a bikini, wear a bikini, because the only person whose opinion matters is yours.

I joined WW about 10 times over 7 years, and I never managed to make it work long term for me. The huge problem I had was that if I had a bad week, I'd make excuses not to go... then that bad week would turn into two, then three, then I'd be too embarrassed to go at all and cancelled it. Cost me a fortune! With MFP, I find…

Child wants healthy juices alongside their regular diet.... great, buy a juicer/blender and a load of lovely fresh vegetables and fruit and make them some damned juice. $600 for a juice CLEANSE for kids? Mental.

Is he out of shape himself? Could he be feeling like your 'showing him up' by doing really well at your new lifestyle, but is unwilling to change his own and is taking it out on you? That's something I admit to doing in the past - being nasty and dismissive about a friend's diet because she was doing so well and I felt…

Half filled squashy plastic bottle, UNDER your boobs, in a bra has worked for me ;)

I have nearer 200 to lose, we'll get there :) Feel free to add me, too xx

So much awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :D

If you think it's a matter of him not really 'seeing' the weight as he gains it, so not being as concerned about his health as you are, could you put a few photos up around your house/on the fridge etc. Maybe a couple of you two when you got together and a couple of now - and don't say anything or point it out, but just…

Volunteering? Fills up your time AND looks great on a CV :)

If there was a way to copy this and stick it on my fridge, I'd be half way there :D

Went to the shops with the children... and the naughtiest things we bought were chocolate and yoghurt covered rice cakes and dried mango! Normally I get tempted in to buying delicious cakes in boxes of four... then after they've had their two, eating the other two and not telling the hubby there were any cakes! The girls…

You all look great! So much healthier AND so much younger :)
