Good luck with this weight loss journey! This is a great website with lots of friendly supportive people. :flowerforyou:

Awww what a lovely message. How kind of you. :happy:

Me too! A month or more, maybe they are not serious about this journey and have given up. A few days or whatever then maybe they are on holiday or working away etc so I give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm off on holiday in 3 weeks time for 10 days, hope I don't get deleted and come back to no friends!!! It is too…

I count a half pint as 1 glass. I try dto drink lots during the day at work - even if it just means sipping it regularly. Drink more especially after exercising so you don't get dehydrated. I believe drinking lots of fluids helps with your weight loss, it flushes everything through. Doesn't have to be just water, you can…

A small glass of wine - approx 250mls is between 75 and 90 cals. Spirits might be better at approx 50 cals for vodka, gin, rum, brandy and whiskey, Bacardi is more at 56 and southern comfort is 81! You would also need to add a low cal/slimline type mixer. Enjoy your birthday! :drinker:

Well done, good for you, what a fantastic weight loss!! :happy:

Hi I'm in north Lincs. I have a designated weigh in day at home each week and then record the details on here. Sometimes I get weighed half way through the week too as it helps to motivate me more. I have a lot of weight to lose too and have found this site to be very helpful, friendly and inspirational. Feel free to add…

I also like stuffed field mushrooms and have one with red onion, garlic vegetarian mince, canned chopped tomatoes and mint. When cooked, top with a little low fat greek yogurt. This works out at only 68 cals per stuffed mushroom. Serve with salad or green veg. You could use the same recipe for peppers. I'm not a vegitarian…

P.S. yogurt and fresh berries also good!

Hi there, I'm sure you will get back on track again :0) When working :- I often have cereal for breakfast - Special K creamy berry bliss. sometimes fruit like a banana for energy. You could always have a slimfast shake or similar for quickness if you don't have time to prepare or eat anything else. If so snack on 25g of…

Great post, thank you!!

Well done, you are doing fantastic! :0)

Hi, welcome and good luck with your journey. I love this site and the people are so friendly and supportive. I'm in Lincolnshire :0) :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the info - very helpful

Nice one!

Great tips! Think I might try this too! Thanks :0)

What a great question and a fabulous answer! That has really helped me. Thank you so much for posting this! :flowerforyou:

Hi, welcome to MFP! Good luck with your weight loss journey! :smile:

Thank you all soooo much!!!! :flowerforyou:

Well done! It's also great when you try on clothes that previously didn't fit or where too tight, but now are comfortable and getting baggy!! :smile:

It;s so easy to believe that we are not as big as other people see us. I have felt exactly the same. You will be looking good each day and week that you lose the weight, I started at a similiar weight o you and having lost 14 lbs so far, I feel so much better inside and out. I know I must be looking better as my clothes…

I'm not religious either but it's definitely a good idea to give up something else that will help with the weight loss. ok so here goes today cw 241 Let's all keep active and eating healthy! Good Luck to everyone and me!

Count me in too!! Good luck everyone!

Thanks for your post! I'm feeling the same way - it's so dis-heartening. I really hope we can all see some fantastic results by easter then! Good Luck to us all :smile:

Thank you all, I wasn't aware of the search function, so I've now found some more answers there too. Thanks again :smile:

Thank you all for the suggestions! Actually I was really good and didn't have anything to nible on, just a latte coffee. I had my dinner before I went to didn;t feel that I needed anything after all. Feel so much better for not snacking too!

Great ideas! Thank you very much everyone, I'll definitely try making up a bag of nuts and fruit etc.. :flowerforyou:

Start again tomorrow by having a healthy breakfast and doing some exercise - even if it's only a 30 min walk. Think about all the reasons you want to lose weight and how that will make you feel. We all have bad days Good Luck!

I think it's good to do both. I weigh in once a week and measure once every 2 weeks. Also you could take pictures of yourself at stages and try on clothes that are currently tight or too small to help gauge the weight loss.

OK, thank you x
