Haha as of today an average adult woman..... Holding a guinea pig!!! (It's all about the guinea pig lol)

308lb to 165lb. 27lb to go

I did it lol!!! Trying to upload that photo was harder than losing the weight haha!! 308lb (140kg) to 165lbs (74.9kg) 12kg to go!!

Great comparisons guys! I would love to add mine but I have no idea how... help???!!!

I have only been at the gym for a few weeks and usually follow the same program. Usually on my weights session I still complete the amount of reps but have to break it down. Eg instead of 2x12 I will do 4x6 or 3x8. Today I only had to break it down 3x8 on one machine. Also doing the same program on the bike I managed to…

We have yearly passes to Dreamworld. On Sept 23rd they are having "Scream night" my goal is to have lost enought weight to fit into at least some of the rides. I hate taking the kids and missing out on all the fun!!

I am currently wearing a new pair of size 20 shorts. Started out in 24/26.. feeling good!!

After only a week and a half of swimming every other day I have increased my distance. First swim - 500m in 45mins. Today - 850m in 50mins. Still never gonna be an olympian but hey at least I'm moving this fat *kitten* lol

Proud of myself... second time at the pool and swam 1000m. Now to work on my time!

I have 3 today.... Fit back into my size 18 leggings... Realised there is about an inch between my stomach and the steering wheel And the one I'm most proud of.. Went swimming today and I am definitely not a swimmer!!! Did 500m. I have never swam that far in my life. Maybe 50 - 100m in the past but nothing like I did…

Just hit a mini goal today. Under 125kg. My next one is to get under 120kg. My reward will be getting my hair cut!!

A microwave!!!! Aiming for a complete set of the oxford dictionary..... I will get there one day!

Im getting a boob job... lifting those puppies up to the heavens instead of pointing the way south lol

My next mini goal is 300g away. I get to buy a new book :smiley:

Being a woman, the amount of toilet paper you go through because you drink so much water and you are always peeing!!!! :p

I'm in. I want to drop 6kg by christmas.

My goals for this week: Stay under calorie goal Ride my stationary bike at least 10km every day (Recovering from ACL surgery and post op MCL tear so excercise is just starting) Good luck everyone!

Thanks guys. It makes me feel better knowing others go through the same thing. Im not sure what my maintenance calories would be but hopefully i havent gone over that. I have woken up this morning and read your responses and have got fresh determination. I can and will beat this!

Don't forget me!!!! I have about 75kg total to lose (165lb) which I have already lost 12.4kg (27lb) so I still have a very long way to go. But I would like heaps of friends so anyone and everyone add me!!! Xxx

Can I chime in with the good old "I managed to button and zip my old jeans today" lol :p

Nsv of the day... Had a Melbourne Cup luncheon today. Unfortunately I didn't win on the horses but I did decline all alcohol, even the free glass of champagne they handed out at the door, and swapped my alternate drop dessert with the lady sitting next to me who had been given fruit salad and stayed on my 1200 calories for…

Thank you. I will try that!!!

Thanks guys, but I have worded this wrong. I started mfp a while ago and fell off the wagon so to speak. I am now back on it but with a much higher weight unfortunately. I want my profile to actually show when I lose weight from now, not further down the track :(

This may sound silly, but one of my downfalls is portion size. That and the fact I always finish everything on my plate. Therefore I have bought myself a small dinner plate so less looks more. I still try to pile on as much as feasibly possible... tonight I cooked steak for dinner. A VERY large piece of steak. When I put…

Btw, thanks to all for your help. I will definately check out those blogs etc for some guidance and tips :)

@TravistockToad I am doing those machines as they are the only ones I know how to use lol. I am very new to this and a bit daunted by what is the right thing to do. Also I was a bit put off when I joined the gym as the staff member that showed me around just breezed past the free weights room with the offhand comment of…

Sorry. Diary is open now. Thought I already had it open. I think my food has been ok up until after weigh in today when I just felt totally useless and made the mistake of feeling like nothing I do makes a difference so I ended up eating crap. But any help will be appreciated :)

Thanks guys Btw nsv = non scale victory

Don't give up. You can do this. It will take time and dedication and a lot of blood seat and tears, but eventually you will get there. I have only just started on my own weight loss journey recently and have over 100lbs to lose. I know it pales in comparison to what you are wanting to lose, but I am willing to go on this…

I had to buy some smaller 3/4 pants a few days ago. I bought 1 size smaller, but still bought the strtch variety... btw, first pair of pants in yrs that actually have a zip n button instead of elastic!! Well wearing them today i can actually take them on and off without undoing the waistband... dont know whether i should…
