ive been drinking smoothies for a week now and i love them! i use frozen blueberries and then lots of fresh fruit and vegetables! i put spinach and kale in mine and i use green tea & OJ to thin them out and make them easier to drink through a straw:) they usually look gross but taste lovely! i was sceptical of the benefits…

i had always been overweight or obese but the final straw was realising that my weight was holding me back from doing certain things like going out dancing with my friends, swimming, just generally enjoying life, i was ashamed to go out. i have now lost 110 pounds, 22 more to go and ive finally realised there is much more…

my friend who has tried many diets (none have worked) always tries to convince me that you can eat as much PASTA, fruit, vegetables as you want & lose weight. she gets quite defensive when i say you can't, it just doesn't seem to click in her head that you can eat massive amounts of ANY food and expect to lose weight lol

chicken hands down!

im nearly 21, been single for 1 year! :) haha i think im a rarity in this group though cos i love being single. at the moment, i dont think a boyfriend could add anything to my life, maybe one day when i've grown up a bit but not yet!

don't give up! haha im 5'10 and i love tall men. ive dated someone 6'7 before but the tallest guy iv dated was 7ft! haha i feel more comfortable being able to wear heels & still stand next to the guy without towering over him :P

good idea! :) 1. Where were you born? Walsall (about 40 mins away from Birmingham) 2. Where do you live at the moment? Lancaster (studying at lancaster uni :D) 3. Where else have you lived? Nowhere, just walsall and lancaster 4. What is your current occupation? What is your dream occupation? Currently a student but i wana…

Edit: got it wrong first time, i am a rectangle! lol, measurements are 39-32-39

thanks for the list! i agree with you, the sugarfree jelly is my fave!! x

balance is key, too much nutella=not skinny, too much skinny=no nutella. happy medium and you can have both:)!

Faves: 1 pizza 2 chicken 3 sweet potato 4 chocolate 5 apples Hate: 1 avacado 2 liver 3 potato 4 cauliflower 5 sprouts

i hate plain water, i just add sugar free squash! haha i drink about 4 litres a day without even thinking about it :)

theres been too many to remember lol! id say my worst one must be like a whole large dominos pizza with 8 garlic and herb dips, tub of B&J and like some sort of sweets & alcohol with it! the entire days calories must have been over 10,000. lol no wonder i used to be 282 pounds :P I can still eat a whole dominos pizza no…

i have a spike day every week. always have done, always will! haha ive lost over 100 pounds doing it :) as long as my weekly calorie total is a defecit, i lose :)

this is my fave show of all time! hahhha yeah the haribo thing was gross but i still cant stop eating jelly and that made from the same stuff! :P

currently UK size 12/14 and aiming for a UK 10 !!!! hopefully ill be there when i get to 150 :)

i do a spike diet, i eat low-cal, healthy stuff 6 days a week and then 1 day a week i eat whatever i want! i dont have it the same day every week either, i just have it the day that i fancy it but i only ever have 1 over each 7 day period:) so as long as i hit like a weekly calorie goal, im happy. iv lost like over 100…

both :) just depends what suits the person

i used to be 282 and now im 166 and im a UK size 12 but i soo wana be a 10! lol aiming to get to 150, hopefully ill be in size 10's by then :) x im 5'10 btw :)

im 5'10 and whenever i go out i always wear heels!!:) im nearly always the tallest girl in the clubs lol. ive found that some men are scared to approach, the only ones that do are nearly always taller than me. but im cool with that, i prefer tall men anyways :P hhahha

i always have my diary open:). ive gone from 282 down to 166. some days i eat lots, some days i eat little, some days i eat just normally. just depends how im feeling lol, as long as i keep track of my weekly calorie consumption, i dont get fazed by my day-to-day one :) at the end of the day, if people are that bothered by…

i always do this, i have a 'spike' day every week where i eat well over my calorie goal but its never stopped me losing weight, ive gone from 282 down to 166, good luck :D x x

I used to weigh 282 pounds and iv got down to 166, with a large-build and at 5'10 i look okay, i do not look ill or like i have an ED or anything, my BMI and BF are in healthy ranges and my family all say how much healthier i look after losing all the weight. Ive started running and doing weights and carried on my healthy…

this sounds like me!! lol i lost 116 pounds in about 18 months and then i went home for 4 weeks for the easter holidays and regained a stone (14 pounds!) haha but im back on track and exercising again now:) i dont regret those 4 weeks, i had drank a lot, ate out, and had fun with my friends. but i know im not happy with my…

1. salad (lettuce, cucumber, onion, tomato) 2. tuna 3. chicken breast 4. sweet potato 5. almonds 6. oranges 7. sugarfree jelly 8. oatmeal 9. eggs 10. oatcakes if i had to chose an 11th it would be CHOCOLATE! NOM NOM NOM

LOVE this thread aha. im 5'10 and feel so heavy if i tell people my weight. im 166 now, aiming for 150 but here's me at about 169ish:

raw carrots dipped in ketchup is the best snack ever! haha

i did this over christmas! i gained like 10 pounds, some of it was water but some of it was fat as well! lol i just started back on the healthy eating plan and exercise and all the weight is gone again now, it came off fairly easily, my weight loss is slower now as im at a healthy bmi but its still coming off :) x

im not sure, mine are pretty visible now but im still not at my goal weight yet. when i weighed 282 they wern't visible, im not sure exactly when they became visible but i know i was still in the 'overweight' bmi category when i started noticing them. i think its just cos iv got really broad shoulders tho! x

i use hair removal cream or wax them most of the time but i shave them occasionaly too :) x
