  • I am in the same boat and need some support myself...actually what I probably need is someone to slap me when I reach for the crap! I am 5"6, started my weight loss at 302lbs, got down to 196lbs which is my slimmest adult weight. I had my gall bladder removed, doctor told em I can eat whatever i like and I am now back up…

  • I have so far lost 38kg and still have another 28 ish to go. I don';t think of it like that or it would seem ridiculously high. I set myself small achievable goals...eg, 5kg in the next 6 weeks, then i give myself a reward when I achieve it...usually I get my nails done as that is a luxury i don't need. For my big goals at…

  • You look awesome, I find when I hit a plateau I try to stop concentarting on "weight loss" for a while. That doesn't mean stop, just relax. Your mind needs a break.
