Thanks everyone. The support on here is phenomenal. x

When I started dating my husband I was a size 12, when we got married I was a size 20. I am now a size 16. He has never stopped loving me, and he tells me everyday, and I truly believe he will love me forever, which is why I married him. Size means nothing, he should find you beautiful, exciting, thrilling, sexy, cute,…

Posted to this then went off to work. I thought it would be a lot longer than 12 weeks before people used words like "inspiration" and "motivation" to describe me. I was your classic over-eating couch potato. I have literally changed my entire life, and it all feels so easy and natural now I've been doing this for 3…

I love rainbow drops. A classic British piece of yum. I know there's a lot of sugar and colouring on them, but I didn't think they'd be that bad either. I'll be continuing to avoid them. x

34lbs in 9 weeks. Honestly I'm really bloody chuffed, but it has been dedication. I can't wait to see what comes in the future.

She is rocking that bod! I wouldn't mind looking like that either, I've still got a long way to go x

I'm happier, healthier, and sexier. I think that's all I've ever wanted. And then I enjoy my life.

People have been commenting on mine at around the 28lbs lost mark. And I have 130lbs to lose. It is very satisfying but you have to give it time.

I think I'll probably still track. I'll have some bad days I assume, life is life. But if I don't track I would lose accountability and never even look at how many calories I ate, and it would be all too easy to go back to my old ways. I might have done well for a year, but I know I ate crap for mostly 20 years, and I know…

Hello, I'm Hope, I'm 22 and married, I started my "journey" 7 weeks ago tomorrow. And i've been doing really well, I've currently lose 26lbs but still have another 103lbs that I want to lose. A lot of my current friends seem to have gone very quiet. So I am looking to find a few extra. I love to chat, I'm friendly and…

That's lovely. And it is nice to see, the forums are full of unsupportive spouses. My husband is still getting loads of crap, but I know he's super proud of how well I'm doing. And he's told me he's going to take me to Greece next year for my birthday as a goal and a well done for doing so well. Which is not only pretty…

Vodka and coke?

BUMP to see if anyone replies.

This might sound tight, and it probably is. But in the UK i work on a checkout in a supermarket, and I always give excellent service to every customer. Thank them for waiting, asking about their day, opening and packing bags, just being overall friendly. And no matter how lovely I am, I get rudeness off customers here…

Exactly the same, 100 under. Never over if i can help it. And it works, so why not.

Can't go anywhere online without encountering perverts. Just happens, it's worth it for the inspiration you're sending people. Just ignore them, you're the better person.

Just reading a snippet of these results makes me want to definitely get it sooner. I am looking to lose 130lbs though, would you guys say its more a last minute tone up before a holiday. Or more like an overall weight loss no matter where you are in your journey?

Tiana. :)

I was only talking snacks, not my entire plan. I eat chicken breast and veggies. Turkey breast and rice. Feel a bit alienated, just giving out some low calorie snack ideas, that's it.

Cereals are always a good way to go, i eat special k, 2 bowls a day, means i can have a bigger lunch because of the other calories. Cherry tomatoes and cucumber are a really low calorie snack, i can pretty much eat as much as i like. Winter or not, there's only 40ish calories in ice lollies, a nice bit of flavour to add to…

How tall are you? Because my first goal is 70lbs, and i was hoping it would take to a 16, so wondering if you're 5 foot or more like 6, makes a big difference :) x

I've been jogging several times on the street. And i get shouts of "LOOK AT THAT FAT B*TCH RUN!" And it really hurts, but i see it like this, they've probably never worked out in their lives, cause if they did, it wouldn't be amusing. Whereas the gym situation comes, at the end of the day, people are probably super focused…

I HATE Napoleon Dynamite. WHY and HOW can people find it funny or entertaining?

I'd like to know what people think too. Everyone is always saying how important they are. But i literally don't look at anything other than calories, cause that's the most important thing, right? x

Lost chemical additives an American consumes each year so far. Hoping for amount of trash you throw away in a month eventually :)

Yeah, i do my real weigh in on Mondays, i just went on this morning to see how i was doing.

I went to dinner recently, i saved a few calories, and said i'd eat a few over and exercise them back later. I picked what i really wanted in the menu, and expected around 1,000. When i got home i checked the nutritional information online. And it came out at more like 2,500!!! These places are feeding the obesity in all…

I've lost 10lbs :) Total loss : 15,439

I'm apparently an author, which is sad, cause i love writing, and if i ever do become an author i'd have to use a different name :(

I don't like oats, but i do like weetabix, and i think cereals are find for all through the day if they're filling. If i've been lower on my calories left them i'm supposed to, i'd have some for dinner :)
