This was me til I met my hubby when I was in my late teens - it sounds like I settled for the first one that came along but we are like best friends & soulmates ( I know , I know , pass the bucket !!! But it is true )

Welcome to the site . I have been going to McDs once a week as hubby & son like going . I have never liked the hamburgers but go for the fish or chicken burgers usually with the salad - but if I fancy the fries I will have some of hubbies , so I have had the taste so don't feel deprived .

Im 5'9 weigh 217 lbs and in a Uk size 20 ( although trousers are beginning to be loose so need a belt .

I know what you mean with nothing much happening on the scale but definatly noticing difference in clothes - so much so I am in the process of "donating " my bigger clothes to charity !!! Even my husband has noticed ( in less than a month )

I'm just a week ahead of you & log in every day & also need more support - you can add me if you want .

That's great !! I had toput a belt on my pants ( uk size 20) yesterday as they started to fall down whilst I was carrying something - fortunately I was at home or it could've been rather embarrassing !!!! Also I have " donated" my bigger clothes to charity .

KFC !! The last one I had was so fatty & I got mega tummy ache after it !!

In June I changed my job from a sedentary one to a much more active one . Up to the end of July I lost about 1 1/2 stone . Unfortunately in August I had to have foot surgery & couldn't do any excercise , that's when I found mfp a& started tracking which helped a lot . In the first couple of weeks I didn't lose that much…

Hi there , I have been on mfp for nearly a month now & find it really useful . Using the logging system really has made a difference so I can still have bread ( which I love ) and when hubby cooks the breakfast I can still join him .my hubby & son like to eat out , I do go with them but peruse the menu to find one of the…

Buttery mashed potato - yum !!!

We usually go to stay with family for a week and get invited round to different family members for meals everyday !! I intend to be polite & accept but be cautious of the kind of foods I eat . I intend to keep the carbs & sugars restricted & go for the veg - unless it's smothered in sauce or butter ! I haven't got a sweet…

I have just found Marks &Spencers salmon & quinoa - its sooooo nice , filling & only about 350 calories ! Also have just found Ellerts peanut puffs !

Feel free to add me . I'm in sunny Southampton .

Only starting again for the 100 th time !!! I could times that by 100 & would still be way off the mark as to how many times I have started again !!!! Like you I usually last a couple of days then have a 'treat ' - think " oh we'll , I've blown it now" & go straight back told habits . I have been using mfp for about a…

Well done for starting on your journey & for stopping smoking !! I can really relate to your comments about feeling self conscious on the beach . Last year on holiday in Spain my cousin & I ( who is the same size as me ) felt we kept being stared at & talked about by the locals - especially the men ! We felt as if we had 2…

Have you not got a market in the town you are in as you can get fruit & veg really cheaply ! Also is ther an Aldi or Lidl locally .

Mmmmmm! That looks yummy ! Marks & Spencer's( in the UK) do something similar with salmon instead of chicken that's delicious & is only around 350 calories .

Starting a diet implies that at some stage you are going to stop at some stage & go back to old eating habits . I have been on so many diets lost weight but when I stopped put all the weight back on & a little bit more for luck . Also before when dieting I have thought about food all the time ( even before finishing one…

I was like you when I first went for a spa weekend worrying if I'd fit in the the gowns , be the biggest person there ! These worries were unfounded & did relax & enjoy the trip .

My friend and I have just had this very conversation over lunch ( a healthy one of beans on toast !!) and with that very weight loss goal ! I love to join .

Add me please !! My hubby doesn't mock me but he doesn't normally see a difference even if ive tried my hardest and lost weight & I think I look better he doesnt see it !!

Oh I have been there , many times !!!!!!!

If I don't have a taste of what I want I will eat everything else in sight , be so stuffed it hurts , but because I haven't had that food I will still want that as well !!! So it works for me but we are all different so what works for me might be the kiss of death to someone else .

I used to go by the " good & bad " foods but now agree there is no such thing . If I crave something I allow myself to have a small bit of whatever it is so I have had the taste so don't feel deprived !

Having had an operation at the beginning of summer I couldn't excercise for a while and now am just starting again . All I'm doing is walking - mainly the dog for about 30 minutes but also if I have to go somewhere local if I can walk there instead of taking the car I will . It was hard at first but the more I do it the…

Maybe he is jealous of what you are doing to improve your health . He may want to sabotage you so he won't be the only fatty . I would keep doing what you are & hopefully it will encourage him to join you . I'm glad your husband has got on board this time . My husband is being supportive this time to as he has really…

I agree with this . Plus it sent my blood sugars sky high !!!

I know what you mean needing the help & support , reading other people's post have been really helpful . I have been using mfp for 3 weeks now & have noticed a real difference - maybe not so much on the scale but definitely in body shape ( especially around the tum - which is normally the last to go as its my worst area )…

I agree with having a small amount of what you crave on hand . I find that if I crave something I can have every thing else but that and still not be happy . So now I have a little of whatever it is I want and the craving goes - without me having hundreds of extra calories .
