Didi: stay strong or find an alternative, perhaps a hot chocolate? Won't do as much damage... Meg: I'm going to have a go at that recipe too. Although I might make it with ground turkey as husband eats no beef. Hope you had a great walk and bike ride. Jane: hope you enjoyed the cinema. What did you see? I'm afraid if I…

Hello! Feeling a bit bummed this morning. On Sunday did a cheat hop on the scales and it showed me down 1.5lbs. Hopped on this morning for weigh in and it was up 1lb. Frustrated as I know I'm eating right and I'm back exercising. I was expecting a big loss this week not a gain. Not going to give up but feeling really…

We all need support, love and motivation but at the end of the day, we have to want to do it. You are being a great girlfriend. He will get back in the head space he needs to be in.

You sounds just like me 2.5 years ago. Except I was weighing in at 368lbs. And if you asked me I would have told you I had tried everything to lose weight....until I was honest with myself....I hadn't really tried. So I got the gym membership and made myself go. And I hated that size 2 girl with a passion. I didn't want to…

Ron: I love your attitude and outlook :happy: Well done on those NSV's. I've had to learn to think in stones, pounds and kilos. I am Canadian so raised knowing lbs, then moved to the UK so learned stones and my trainer works in kilos! _tru_ : like Ron, your outlook and positivity is fantastic! It was your words that really…

I forgot, Ron congrats on the 2st milestone, that is fantastic!!!

Ron: wow, Romania sounds like it will be quite the trip. Don't get lost in the potholes and make sure you come back! Pip and Dore: Welcome to the thread! Gonzamm: the binge, it happens and you talked through it with someone which is awesome! You are lucky that your husband supports and understands. My hubby is behind me…

tnsummer: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is a fantastic milestone to reach. Tazminacat: welcome and hello! Lots of support and encouragement here. @jolande: aspartame (sp.) gives lots of people migraines. I'm a former migraine sufferer and one of the first things doctors had me do was keep a food diary to see if there was a…

Brooke; that's a great loss for the month, well done! cacklingcat: new day, start over. I have been run over by my wagon lately, so lets do this together!! Gonzam: what did you think of the yogurt? I love it!! Jennypenny: thanks! So after a lot of complaining about struggling and some honest words from mfp friends I came…

Hello Everyone! I have to apologise I've not been here. And the thing is, I know that this support group works and if I'm not here I'm doing what I am supposed to be doing. So, you got it, I'm struggling. Big time struggling. When I lost my original 120 (before becoming pregnant), I remember having highs and lows but…

Hey All, I've done a quick read through of the posts. Welcome to the new faces :) I'm around but haven't been here in the forum this week. Started back to work on Monday (there were tears, mine, not the baby's!) and after 2.5 days am now on Easter holidays. I must say it was nice to have adult conversations but at the end…

Morning All, Kinda been MIA as I have been enjoying my last few days before returning to work. It sucks but it has to be done and its only for 2.5 days and then its the easter holidays. I am glad I am able to ease into it a bit. Was shocked to find this week that I had lost 1.6lbs after a week of no exercise and poor…

Zena!! How are you :D I've been really struggling with motivation as well. You know you can do this!! I know you can do this. Set a small goal. Perhaps by Sunday night you will have exercised twice? You are here you are asking for help which means you want to do it. Maybe when the telly is on, on commercial/ad breaks you…

Morning all! Welcome to all the new faces! This thread can be great as long as people come back and share and support. As it says in the introduction this is not just a dumping ground...you need to give too :smile: I'm trying to be a bit easier on myself. As some of you know I go back to work on Monday after 9 months of…

So yesterday went well and then I self destructed in the evening because I got very very upset about having to go back to work next week and leave my little one. Ate a lot of crap because I didn't know how to deal with the emotions. I must try to remember that eating will not change the fact that I have to return to work…

Is that a Leafs jersey I see!!? Depends on your definition of fun. I love Zumba and it gets a sweat on. Spin I absolutely adore and miss since being on maternity. Great results and depending on the instructor can be a really good time but its not for the faint of heart, it is really hard!!

Do you think thin people think about food the way we do? Are they conscious of every bite that goes into their mouths or do they just go with the flow and know when to stop? I am really struggling with the food addiction side of this things this week and have been contemplating stuffing it this week and restarting next…

To all the new faces, hello!! Well I've been MIA for a few days and that means I've not been doing well. I am the kind of person who needs to be here every day, being accountable. Saturday I was good. Sunday I made the conscious decision to not log and relax. Well I relaxed so much I flipped backwards off the wagon and let…

I agree with Penny. Start logging and then find one thing you can work on (like adding a walk). It could be something that seems small and 'too easy'. Breakfast, focus on making it healthy, add in a portion of fruit etc. When that feels comfortable then move on. I have lots of weight to lose too and know that it can seem…

Hello all! Well it's been a boring Saturday here and I was worried about my eating but it's been all good. I'm feeling frustrated after being good and exercising and the scale not moving. I know it's the damn anti inflammatory pills that I am on but still frustrated. I didn't get any 'real' exercise in but that said I…

Ron: Welcome! We had a bloke or two on the original thread and it was great! You've made a really good start.:smile: Potscrubber: sounds like a busy day! Morning :smile: 5Jmommy: 5 kids = superhero! I have my first and find it all hard, so hats off to you :happy: Today has been good so far. I got the exercise in first…

Glad you found your way here! I do have a reward system in place but thanks! My problem is I want a non-healthy something to eat. Sigh. So many years of bad eating is so hard to break. So 278 = (actually only 8lbs till this one) £20 iTunes card (to get some running music!) 268 = scrapbooking kit (for baby's first years)…

Gettinyoung: sounds like you had a good time and 3lbs isn't that bad. I have this regular thought about weight gained on holidays or over special events: skinny people don't worry about these times. They just go on living. Yes, perhaps we need to be more conscious the rest of the time, but we are still human. You were on…

Hi There! I've been a member a while and at one point had lost 120lbs. Took a break while I was pregnant and for the first 6 mos of my little girls life. Back at it and have my ups and downs. Would like to lose 100 more lbs. Always looking for like minded friends! I'll send you an add :flowerforyou:

Breezedaze: this could definitely be the place for you as long as you keep coming back. Join the conversations, share about you, the highs and lows and the boring stuff and offer support as well. It sounds like you have made a great start on your journey. Penny: hope your breathing sorts itself out. Its understandable that…

Thanks Penny for flipping the thread! I just want to reiterate what Penny said: If you are going to introduce yourself and think that this is the place for you then come back! No point introducing and then not trying us out :) We are very supportive of the people who stay with us and are a friendly bunch. The original…

Definately need a disclaimer at the thread flip. It's not enough to just say hello and never come back. If you say this is the support group you need...duh, come back, post, be supported and supportive!!! Jehan: I take my hat off to you getting up at that hour and getting a work out in!! Debbie: great weight release!…

Hello new faces: come back and post often Becky: I hope things get sorted. Sore feet are the worst thing. I have to wear insoles because of flat feet and if I don't wear them I end up practically crippled. Been an ok couple of days till the end of the yesterday when chocolate and peanut butter won out and I pigged out. So…
