I am in the same boat as you but have yo yo dieted for the last 20 years. its time to call time on this now though as I ballooned to a hefty 266 pounds. I am now 206 and want to lose another 40+ if I can but have been stuck for almost a year. I have now got stop punishing myself when I trip up and tell myself that this is…

Hello - I am Jane and I have been with MFP for a couple of years on and off! I started when the scales topped 18 stones (252lbs) - I have since lost 47lbs (4 stone 6lbs) and am hoping for another 20lbs at least! I have struggled over the last 12 months and am now going to bite the bullet and stop making excuses all the…

Thanks Heather - might have to get a couple of bottles of diet tonic water in - trouble is - if I drink too late into the evening, I am up several times a night for a bathroom visit!!! Can't win eh?

I am finding myself in a bit of a struggle in the evenings when I have finally sat down to watch a bit of TV with my husband. The problem is that even though I am not hungry in the slightest, I cannot keep my hand out of the sweetie box that I have for the grand kiddies!!!! Its almost like another person emerges after 7pm…

Thanks a lot Weightlossissues - may have to invest lol xx

Hi Weightlossissues - Been thinking about getting a fitbit myself - are they any good? good luck with the rest of your journey - sounds like you are really on it!! :-)

So I had my weigh in this morning and lost 2lbs - I am absolutely elated with that! Just got to maintain control now and get some more off! Here's to another successful week! Good luck all and have a great day!

Good morning everyone! How has your week been so far? Mine has been a bit hit and miss if I am honest. its weigh in day tomorrow and am hoping I will get at least a pound off. I have been logging for a week now and am finding that even if I do slip, I am now in more control which is what I want. So yeah - if I get an…

Was going to try the brushing my teeth trick this evening to stop with the snacking but I have been so busy visiting my mum and then my daughter and grandchildren that snacking didn't enter my head! I saved having my dessert for when I got back home so tucked into a bowl of defrosted frozen berries and half a banana topped…

Sparkymel - Glad to see you are feeling better - Am looking forward to the journey ahead and getting to know you and all these lovely like minded people. Have a good weekend! x

Buxbert - I have the very same problem! I am soooo good during the day with no effort at all but as soon as the evening meal is over and I have cleared up and done what ever jobs need doing, I sit down with my husband to watch a bit of TV and - BAM - The itchy "I need to eat anything and everything rubbish" person comes…

Gonna give it a damn good try!!! lol x

Hi - I am totally in the same boat as everyone on this thread. I am 46 years old with 3 grown up girls and 2 very young grandchildren! I have been going to Slimming World for the last 2 years and have lost a total of 60lbs. the majority of that was lost in the first year and then for a whole year I lost just half a stone…

Hi Gracie - I log on daily so feel free to add me if you wish. You can do it with a little help from your friends lol x

your story is a mirror image of mine!! i have been with MFP for 2 weeks and have lost 3lbs so far. I am more determined than ever to succeed this time though and with a little suppot from the lovely people that i have met on here, hopefull i will.

Hi Mandy I am from Manchester, Joined last week and due my first weigh in tomorrow! I think this site has been a god send so far! Good luck x:smile:

HILARIOUS!!!

i wonder how many calories i just burned off laughing my head off to this lot!!! funny stuff!:-)

Hi Kelly I lost 3 stone at SW and then came to a plateau for 5 months!! i was rigid about waht i was eating and stuck to the plan 100%. i think that you come to a point where you have to start weighing everything too, which as you say, goes against the grain. My advice would to be to count the calories you are eating and…

Hi I just started today too! i read your post and your story could have been me. I lost 4 stones and ended up putting thelot back on again (and some) due to a really bad 18 months. i am now hopinig to get back on track. It woudl be great to invite you to be a friend if i knew how lol... am still trying to navigate myself…
