ive always got my head in a book. i usually have two on the go at any time and read between 2-5 a week. Ive been reading a lot since i was 10

im exactly the same height as you and 3lbs heavier. im pear shaped and still think i look fat on my lower half. i do weight train and im hoping in time it will shift the fat but im back dieting again too to see if dropping more weight will help. trouble is im quite slim on top and it comes off there more so my ribs are…

yes!! i almost gave up but i met my boyfriend online. I was on two different sites id had more than a few 'oh no' dates but then i met my boyfriend. We initially decided just to be friends because of the bit of a distance but that didnt last long. We've been together 7 months now and very happy. Dont give up!!

Well what attracted me to my boyfriend was his personality. Sure i know thats corny but its true. We met on a dating site and normally id have flicked straight past his profile because he's very good looking and i dont usually date very good looking men (due to my own hang ups and piss poor self esteem not anything wrong…

Im 5ft 10 and weigh 152lbs .my measurements now are under bust 30, waist 26in , hips 35in. i have big hips and thighs :blushing:

Normal Indian food isnt, my boyfriend is Indian and his mom cooks lovely food that isnt loaded with oil and ghee but the restaurant stuff doesnt seem anything like the food she cooks. Although i will confess i love Jalebi and thats pretty high in calories but i dont care :laugh:

Im 43 ive lost 134lbs and have 9 to go. add me if you'd like :)

this looks pretty good, which would i do if i want to replace fat with muscle am i aiming for the strength end of it or the hypertrophy??

:flowerforyou: i look okay. i hoped to be slimmer leg wise if im honest but its not coming off the way i want and i dont want to look ill. i shall see how i come out in my daughters wedding photos in three weeks and then decide. should be a revelation since ive not taken a full length pic in 12 years

same here and im struggling with them. funny how ive lost 134lbs and yet the last 12 is the hardest

every once in a while i do binge but i dont hide it. i dont always log it but i do keep a record of how many calories i ate and more often than not i tell my MFP friends. then i wail loudly about the inevitable weight gain from all the sodium, calories and processed fatty rubbish i ate and spend the next week trying to…

anything with calories in it :laugh:

im 5ft 10 and my boyfriend is 5ft 7 and i wear heels all the time. He encourages me to and isnt one bit bothered by my being taller. He loves it and says he always feels 6ft tall when he's out with me anyway (awwwww) :blushing:

it doesnt work like that in the UK. I had a fasting blood test and was told to call back for results in a week. I called up and the receptionist said.....''oh your thyroid function, liver function and cholesterol are all fine'' and that was it. I went back to my doctor last week and she's sending me for a treadmill stress…

these are the exact same symptoms i have. Only additional symptom i have is the feeling of a permanent lump in my throat and my chest tightens up a lot when i exercise. My doctor did bloods just before christmas and my thyroid came out normal. I went back two weeks ago and told her if anything i feel worse and she is…

mine was 40.75 when i started its now 21.6 :bigsmile: still got another 12lb to go to goal though

heh!! youre funny.... i like!! :laugh:

just keep swimming :bigsmile: Seriously its a long hard road and you just have to keep on going down it. Keep working hard, keep watching what you eat and just stick with it. It all takes time and effort

Im from wiltshire :bigsmile: feel free to add me i log in daily

ooooh no thankyou Lindy. i do eat lentils, beans and nuts but ive never tried quinoa or hemp. Time to take a trip to the health food store i think!!

that helps a lot thankyou!! i had no idea you had to press it i'd have just chopped it up :ohwell: i'll have to hunt out some decent marinade recipes now. :bigsmile:

ah i swore not to weigh in every day and i lasted 2 days .So now i just weigh in, swear loudly then promise i wont weigh in tomorrow. Until tomorrow :ohwell:

yes!! give it all up!! you dont need to eat anyway its just an urban myth :ohwell:

^^^^^^^ THIS

You rock!! :flowerforyou: well done on your success you found what worked for you and went for it.

Im not sure why you feel the need to vent?? Why does what somebody else eats affect you in any way?? Surely the only food intake you need to be concerned about is your own?? Unless that person has specifically asked for your help. Surely we all have the right to choose what and how we eat:ohwell:

im 43 and ive lost 135lbs and i was worried about sagging skin too. I lost 85lbs 10 years ago and stayed a size 14-16 until last june when i decided i wanted the last of the weight gone. since then ive lost 40lbs and other than a tiny bit on my lower abs(which will go hopefully as it still has fat in it) ive been lucky…
