Aw thanks everyone, your comments have put me in a right good mood this morning :blush:

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

Haha thanks Paula, I thought the pic might've put you off as I didn't hear back from you after I sent it!

But being thin =/= being physically fit. I do cardio during the week to increase my physical fitness as well as give me more calories to play with.

Exactly a year apart these two:

Dude if it makes you feel any better I'm 26 and never had a girlfriend. I'm putting myself out there now but it's intimidating as hell.

I've just got clean of a month long binge, read the last few entries on my blog it might help: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/lewispwest

Thank you for reading it :)

Have a read of my blog here on MFP, I was "seriously obese" when I started this time last year, hopefully it's useful to you: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/lewispwest

Up to 335 today, not far off a year since it all began!

She's gone guys, obviously wasn't interested in answers that didn't agree with her.

Get yourself a fitbit or Jawbone and link it to MFP. Gets you doing so much more walking :)

Haha great job! I did the same too (I'm dressed as Arrow):

Always trust the lower number, MFP has a habit of overestimating calories burned.

I have actually been on citalopram since about a week before I started my diet in March so perhaps that has helped up until now. I will look into it though.

Yeah, I was ready to end it all Christmas 2013. Saw no way out and was tired of being fat and useless. So glad I didn't as I found the strength to fix myself a few months later.

I'll see if my insurance will cover it, thanks for the advice.

Yeah, I must've said "I'm determined to stop" about a dozen times during the relapse period, it was only a particularly awful cheesecake I ate at 2am after a night out that stopped it once and for all. But yeah, a stone made a huge difference to how my clothes felt and I've bought all new clothes for my new size so I will…

I'm 12 days "sober" as it were, but the way I was talking to @cmfougere‌ about it earlier she was saying it's like an alcoholic with whiskey. I might never be able to have certain things again as it is a trigger, I have to learn to accept that, as miserable as that may be.

Thanks, I'll look into it :)

SE London :)

@adamitri‌ See mine is that I start to feel that I can phase chocolate back in to my diet and then I lose control so easily and start shovelling it in like I used to. Took a good couple of weeks of promising myself I'd stop before I finally did, thanks to a cheesecake I had very late at night that made me feel incredibly…

@adamitri‌ So how did the professional help work if you don't mind me asking? Was it just discussing or did they give you proper mental exercises to do?

Sodium increases water retention = water weight. Eventually it'll even itself out.

Same here, I tried to do the whole "protein shake in the morning to stave off hunger" but never ever worked.

Get a fitbit. It'll motivate you to get out and walk/run more.

Always found that weird that they put that information on your license in the states! On ours it's just our name, date of birth and address.

I had this recently. I've put on a stone in the last month and a couple of family member said "that's good, you were looking gaunt". Really, at 190lbs?!
