Hey there , Fellow Scot here ( Glasgow lassie) . Now living on the sourh coast in SASANACHS land !! We Scotties should stick together ! Also I loved Malta when I went !

Quite agree shops are bloody useless at sizing . Had this very conversation with an assistant in White company in Chichester . She was a stick insect but she said she could be one of 3 dress sizes in their own lines .... Go figure !

5 10 13 st 5lb Tops 16 Bottoms 14s - with a belt !

Mountain breeze

I WAS & would still love to be but as son is now 17 don't think I'd get away with it any more ( lol!)

Baileys over ice !!!

Nuts Seeds Seafood sticks Fish Protein bars & shakes Veggies Mushrooms

I second the Atkins bars & you can get lots of protein shakes , but there is also fish , seeds & nuts etc !

I'm from a tall family , I'm 5"9.5 & my brother is 6'4 - the shortest is my sister who is still a respectable 5'7 !

Since being on mfp I've discovered I have an intolerance to gluten & retain water & bloat up if I have to much !

Good question & I'd like to know for Christmas too !

Before mfp white bread & potatoes !!!!! Haven't had a binge since being here !

There are different flavoured green teas !! Or cos you are eating clean don't you want to go down that path ??

My friends where I live know - as I have changed so much siince starting on mfp that they'd have to be blind not to notice ! One of my cousins knows as we are holding each other accountable too ! I'm looking forward to picking some jaws off the floor when see other family & friends at Christmas as I haven't said a word to…

Marley & me !!

I was stuck at 200lbs for a couple of weeks too , it seems to be quite a common place to get stalled . Happy to say I've cracked the barrier so just persevere & you will get there !!

45 ( soon to hit 46 ugh !) & type 2 too ! Was out of control in summer but since starting on mfp I've lost 3 1/2 stone (40lbs ish) 4 dress sizes & reduced sugars from 14/15 to 5/6 ! Any one can feel free to add me for support .

I have just got a fitbit flex for my birthday ! I like it ! I agree with the fact that the wrist strap is a bit funny but I like the way your results are displayed ! I like the fact that it tells you , by vibrating , when you have done your 10000 steps ( got the shock of my life when it happened for the first time…

I was told that about not exercising for over 45 minutes !

Walking & swimming has worked for me !

Have just ordered a fitbit flex !

As has already been said it depends on height & build as well as the cut of the garment . I had this conversation with a sales assistant recently & she said that she could be anything from an xs to a large in the stock in her shop & she was stick thin ! Why can't the manufacturers all get together & decide what…

As I live hundreds miles away from a lot of family members I havent told them what I've been up to - I'm looking forward to picking a few jaws up off the floor when we visit for Christmas !! My hubby , son & friends that I see are very supportive & encouraging ! I've even got 2 of them doing it along with me !!

As has been said before different things work for different people ! As for the well meaning advisors I'd just listen to what they say , nod in agreement when appropriate & continue with what worked for me !

^^^^ this . I was the same , but since being on mfp have changed to whole grains , Fruits ( 2/ day ) & veg instead of refined carbs & sugars . I haven't have a binge since ( except when I had mashed potatoes funnily enough & then I couldn't feel full or sated all evening )

I remember a guy saying I had rugby players legs !! Now they are my best feature ! I walk & swim & now they have been called skinny numerous times by numerous people .

Mushroom omelette

I agree its not obsession but dedication !

Being called "skinny " by a friend - who really is skinny !!

Want to be wellinto onederland ( 2lbs to go) & get into comfortably into a pair of size 14( uk) skinny jeans !
