Well done! I too have hit 12 stone something this morning, it's the first time in 20 years!! :happy: Was 17 when I started! It's such a good feeling! Good luck getting the remainder off!

I think this is about normal I've lost around that amount and mine has dropped to around about.5 a week also. I've got to so many plateaus I've lost count! It is disheartening but I'm keeping going I know Christmas will be a struggle but then I'll be renewed for the New Year. I usually change my exercise routine and that…

I used the wii fit for six months and did the job until I lost 35lb and decided to join the gym - I'll still use it now and again but wanted something more intense and felt more confident to join a gym. It's definitely a great started and thoroughly recommended if you can't/don't want to go to the gym!

Well done, great motivational pics - there's a big difference and I bet you can feel the benefits too!

Having undergone a course recently in bi-polar I wouldn't recommend having a day off from exercise as your mental well being is just as important as your physical health, what I would suggest however is taking a bit easier one day a week if you can but one thing for sure do what feels right for you - I don't have a day off…

Welcome to MFP! I'm just behind you at 19lb in and just looking at the scales motivates me! This site works for me it helps for me to log all the food - might not work for everyone but first time in my life I've managed to loose more than 5lb oh and people are really friendly.. I'm sure you'll keep motivated! Good luck!

That's brilliant news and I think the enthusiasm keeps growing with every pound you lose (well it does with me) which urges you on to push more! My only thoughts are why didn't I do this before! Well done - keep up the good work!

Hi, You're certainly trying hard - there's loads of advice on the boards here, the post I've linked to below is quite helpful Good Luck! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/3047-700-calories-a-day-and-not-losing

I think you've got a great start by realising that you've got to do this for yourself! It's all very admirable wanting to do it for kids or family but you've got to want and do this for yourself more than anything! Welcome to MFP, everyone here is really friendly and there are some great motivational posts if you get…

Your story rings a bell the video of my wedding last October and feeling self conscious on my honeymoon in Egypt did it for me along with I'm due to be a nan in July and didn't want to be known as 'fat' nan! I'll put my before and after pics up when I get to my after stage! Good luck!

I shouldn't worry too much I've just gone through a two week plateau where my weight went up 300 grams in this time (very demotivating when you know you've been trying hard!) but this week the scale is moving in the right direction again. It did motivate me to take another look at what I was eating and exercise so it may…

Welcome to MFP - the app on the iphone is a real plus and keeps you on track when you're out and about! People on here are really friendly and motivational! Good luck with your goal!

I'm already added to your friends, and in the UK (Devon) if anyone would like to add me though the more the merrier!

I started 4 weeks ago and for the last two weeks I lost nothing! I feel discouraged but I think you've got to take a look again and see if there's anything you can change! I've upped my exercise in the hope something will shift by next week! Keep up the good work I'm sure there will be some results soon.

We had a good laugh on it yesterday too! We also got Biggest Loser which I found is quite useful as it tells you how many calories you're burning!

Well done! A Real inspiration to the rest of us! You must be very proud of yourself an rightly so!!!

Welcome! I've only been here three weeks myself and it's done wonders for my inspiration! I joined through the iphone app and that's really kept me focused - some of the posts on here are so motivational it's a real community! Good luck with your journey!

Well done a true inspiration and good to see you got through the plateaus! Those are the times when you think "why am I doing all this hard work if I'm not losing anything!" Keep up the good work!!
