Your wife has done really well , the scale may not have moved as much as she would like but she has had NSVs ( non scale victories ) I'd never heard of these before mfp but the are another way of measuring success ! Her mobility has improved & she's lost 6 inches from her waist , they are all fantastic NSVS . Tell her she…

I agree with cdah1383 & don't get disheartened if the numbers on the scales don't move as much as you want ! If your honest , log everything & stick within your daily allowances it will happen . You may not see it on the scales as much as having NSVs ( non scales victories ) such as clothes fitting better & body shape…

Sounds scrummy !! Will have to try it !

Hi , I've been on mfp since August as well and have lost around the same amount of weight as you in that time & I have stalled a few times too , but it is still coming off . So I think your doing the right things , either that or I'm doing it wrong too ! Although I have noticed more NSVs like losing 2 dress sizes & & my…

I was going to keep mine for " just in case " but a friend persuaded me to donate them to charity so I haven't got anything to go back into !! Since starting mfp I've lost 2 dress sizes and nearly a 3rd as an having to use a belt to hold the trousers up !!

Coming from a female-perspective I have some similar experiences like having 'big put in front of my name & guys finding it amusing to say that I had ' rugby players legs' which is quite ironic now as they are my best feature due to being apple shaped !! On your other point , as I've always been tall ( 5' 91/2 ) and over…

Being honest with yourself , weigh your food & track everything !! I'm usually a one week wonder myself but have nearly stuck with mfp for a month now & still enthusiastic !!

It would be good to have more friends in the uk ! Again I'm in southampton so not that close but feel free to add on here !

I can relate to what your going through . I am just coming to the end of my TOM & it's not been fun !! Like you a week before I start I used to want any form of stodgy carbs I could get ! This time it was really hard to resist the temptations but I did . Since being on mfp I've been watching my carb intake , keeping to 110…

This with wheat germ toast !! Hmm think that's what I'll have for Brekkie

Yup ! I'm hear for the long haul , feel free toadd me too !

Fillet o fish at McDs tonight with 1/2 dozen of hubby's fries !!

Hi Ive logged on for 25 days now & up until today have been doing great . The motivation you get on here is really helpful . I've been down in the dumps today due to TOM & could easily have raided the fridge and undone all my hard work in one go !! I posted how I was feeling & got words of encouragement back which raised…

Oh yes , I was Ill all night after I "treated " my son & myself to a KFC !!

I had 2 slices of toast , 1 with beans & the other with beans - yum ! Oops I meant to say one with poached egg !!

When I finally got back under the 100 kg mark I bought myself a plant .

How rude !! Does your boss have the right to tell you to stop ?? Surely as long as its not affecting your work it shouldn't be an issue !

Before joining mfp I only concentrated on the number on the scales , and like you the numbers weren't going down , or we're but painfully slowly !! I then read posts talking about NSVs , which I'd never heard of , but I'm glad I have now as seeing them is giving me the boost that I need to continue !

Hi there , im in the uk , have lost a stone since August but to get to my ideal weight need to lose another 4 !! I'm a little older but still feel 25 !!!

My cousin & another friend of mine joined slimming world & weight watchers respectively , both lost weight initially , then one week would lose but would be back up the next ! Both quit the clubs a few months ago refusing to pay just to be told they put weight on . Meanwhile I had joined mfp , logging daily watching my…

It's nice when that happens . I have sent my clothes that are to big for me ( uk 22/24 ) to the charity shop . A friend I haven't seen for a while visited the other day & exclaimed that my clothes ( size 20 ) were hanging of me . She was exaggerating a little but they were loose ! Yay nealy back in the teens !!

Weight watchers individual tomato & spinach tart with salad .

I used to cut every thing that was bad out but again I became obsessed with wanting what I couldn't & ended up binging on it too . I've learned to have a bit of what I want & then my mind knows its not forbidden . Since ive been doing this I haven't had a binge !!

Yes I have been tormenting myself daily with the scales & am trying to wean myself down to once a week .

First of all congrats on the loss !! I've been using mfp for nearly a month now & have lost 6kg . I'm not going to lie & say it was an easy month but I am reaping the rewards a little now . My first boost was when I noticed my tummy had shrunk , the next was when my clothes became to big ( so I've donated them to charity)…

Me too !!

Officially once a week , on a Tuesday . But I do torment myself by going on more frequently which I must stop !!!

Hi there , I have about 60 lbs to lose & would love to join you in your journey . Am sending you a friends request . Well done on the weight loss so far !!

I have discovered Elerts roasted peanut puffs - they are delicious & don't raise my sugars but I feel like I'm having chips ( just wish they did cheese & onion flavour , then they'd be perfect )

I'm 5'9 and have just had a chat with the nurse at the Drs who said my ideal weight was 158 lbs .
