i am not going to lie its a concern, I understand its a drink or two in the evening but when does it become or three or four, I would like to know what the issue is and whether I am over reacting. I just want the support. perhaps a long chat is needed this week, I am not one to tip toe round a problem or just settle if i…

he has had a hard time with work etc but he has replaced the gym with pub time, If I say anything then i get the reply "you dont let me do anything" I should be able to see my freinds whenever I want. In terms of the gym he is exceptioanllly fit, he has lost muscle mass over the past few weeks and this is getting him down…

thanks all, hopefully will show and if not at least i know i have lost it lol

firstly the fact you havnt given up is brilliant! i have days like this all the time where I think what am i actually doing? how is this worth it? At some point it will all click into place, different things work for different people in terms of food and exercise, I like to log it because I tend to absent mindedly eat. The…

its not self loathing at all, its a picture of me post weight loss at a time I wasnt happy with myself, I am loving the new me so far and am proud of my achievment, the photo is merely a reminder that I have worked hard and not to ruin it. Drinking loads of water fills me up alot and takes my mind off food. Please can I…

it depends what you are going over your sugar on, I try to keep clear of any processed sugar and food as it seems to be empty calories for me, I say as long as its fruit and veg then I dont mind :)

I try to keep all the binge type food out of my house, I also have a "fat" picture on my phone, its truly awful and every time I think about eating everything and anyhing in site I look at that. If all else fails I drink a tonne of water which usually makes me feel a little sick and then have to sit down, it stops me…

firstly congrats for wanting to make the lifestyle change. Tea bea is right, juice is awful, so easy to drink and so many hidden calories and sugar. I would also air on the side of caution with museli as that can contain lots of added sugar. Stir fry is excellent, plenty of fruit and veg, go for avacados, salmon, nuts that…

Who knew so many healthy alternatives! Thanks everyone :)

Have had to compromise on the meat as the boyfriend is having a paddy lol already been eating the same as me for a week and he is super fit. Will make my own sauce I think and use fat free natural yogurt. Half cheese to keep him happy! Maybe go for a run to make it better ha ha. Thanks everyone great ideas!

Thanks everyone, All these things make sense. I think I am going to try and relax a bit, not kick myself if I eat something i shouldnt and decide that if I eat out I will just go for an extra run in the evening. I guess I am impatient lol so feel like a deviation from the plan will spell disaster! I had a holiday last week…

i try things like avacado, snack on carrots and home made hummus, its a tough one to get the calorie intake, peanut butter is good.

we walk alot, at the weekends we nature walk but the evenings and occupying her whilst exercising is hard.

this happens to me all the time. what is your daily calorie goal? have you logged any exercise etc?

well done! thats brilliant. you looked great before and even better now :)

i'm not much help but could also do with some tips, anything discreet would be great my desk is situated in a college corridor!

sorry that was totally unclear, i have to have soya milk lol

I only count my processed sugar, so if for example its sugar found in fruit or veg then I dont worry, I am on a processed sugar ban so i only count sugars in milk etc, I figure if its natural sugar i shouldnt stress. I may be compeltely wrong but it works for me and cutting out the processed sugar has made the difference…

FIRSTLY CONGRATS ON BITING THE BULLET! i was similiar, i got to 188lbs and did the whole meh im curvy or lets inhale food to make me feel better. I have really been sticking to this for 5 weeks and putting in serious exercise. I have managed to lose a good portion so far but always looking for support. I will add you, i am…

me too! its ridiculous, I am highly aware i have quite a few lbs to shift but please mr huffing and puffing overweight GP please use some common sense! good luck with your goal, loads lost so far!!!

we are fairly similiar!

im in: CW:172lbs GW: 150lbs Height: 5"7 Age: 26

ok brilliant, i will keep doing what i am doing and measure etc as well, its when I go to the gp and they do the whole your BMI says this and then the nurse says different.

Thanks everyone! I guess just keep at it, I have been looking into getting kettle bells to improve tone. Hopefully I will have lost a few inches when i measure and wegh on sunday and that willl be motivation. I think its the sudden burst of sunshine that is putting a dampner on, when it was raining i was just pleased to be…

Hi! I was thinknig the exact same thing this morning, I have great freinds but they are not supportive, in fact quite the oppoiste, I think having a few cheerleaders and being one can be motivating, I have 32lbs to lose and am trying to get back into the swing of it today. Good luck with what you are doing! :)
