I've lost 135lbs altogether and almost halved my body weight. i lost the bulk of my weight 8 years ago and only recently lost the last 42lbs. I didnt exercise the first time but i'd had such a huge shock as to how big i was so i was SO determined and gung ho and lost 14lbs in the first 2 weeks. it slowed after but remained…

its hard to describe, its sweet and i eat them before they get soft so the texture is similar to an apple. they get sweeter the softer they get. When really ripe theyre similar to sweet ripe plums

1) Persimmons (aka Sharon fruit) 2) raw salmon 3) Jalebi (shouldn't because its bad for me but YUM)

WOW!! You don't even look like the same guy!! Great job there. I lost half my body weight but unlike you im really struggling with maintenance, how do you manage it??? :embarassed:

biscuits especially plain digestive ones. i still battle that now

perhaps its because i eat unrolled raw oats with it thats making it too high calories whilst not looking much of a portion. Theyre very small grains and they dont really expand when cooked but i like the raw mixed in. Guess i'll have to cut my portions :ohwell:

1000?? OMG thats me never eating pizza then :noway: Its scary, you could so easily go over calories yet not be eating big potions of food to do it

I take an A-Z multivitamin plus evening primrose, cod liver oil and garlic capsules. I dont eat much meat or fish so i take them incase im missing out on vital nutrients :ohwell:

Same! i'm down to size 10 but i still keep picking up or looking at size 16s without realising it. i shop online and ive had to sent countless items back because ive automatically ordered a 16. I look down at myself and still see size 16, its only when confronted by a mirror thaty i realise what ive lost

I'm 5ft10 and I was a size 26 (UK) at my biggest and back then my dream size was a UK 14. i got there and was over the moon and i felt so skinny but after 5 years it suddenly didnt seem so skinny after all. I dieted down to a size 12 in Oct 2012 and thought that was great too but suddenly that didnt seem so skinny either.…

ive had a mirena for 10 years and going to have it replaced this week for my third one and ive had no problems at all. Any weight gain i had was simply due to me being greedy and eating from boredom. I've since lost 52lbs with the mirena still in and have been taking cerazette for the last 3 months as mirena is almost at…

They love you, they wont judge. Probably the only person judging you is yourself sweetie. They'll be scared and confused but they wont judge. You might find you get an extra few hugs though!!

Jessica Ennis is how id like to look!! i can dream right??

5ft 10 151lbs currently wearing uk size 10/12 us size 8/10 aiming for 140lbs

there are a few at my gym like this, mostly young guys and i wouldn't dare say a word. I dont think they'd like a girl critiqueing them somehow. However i would quietly mention it to the gym instructor and see if he thought it was serious enough to need HIM to comment

My son is 6ft 4 and my youngest daughter is 5ft 7 aged 16. yet my eldest daughter is 5ft 6 aged 24. im 5ft 10 and their father was over 6ft

Height: 5' 10'' Weight: 150lbs Age: 43 Daily calorie goal (not including exercise): 1750 Average weight loss per week: 1-2lbs Starting weight: My heaviest 284lbslbs. Here 196lbs Exercise of choice: fast incline walking/ weight training :bigsmile:

sorry but i believe in 50/50. I don't see why the poor guy should be lumbered with paying for every date he goes on, you're both on the date, both getting the same benefit from it so why can't you both pay!! My boyfriend felt that he should pay for everything when we first met and still offers now but he's accepted my wish…

I'm too scared to work out :noway: i woke up in the night boiling hot even though it was freezing in my house and my heart was thumping and my chest and throat really tight. it scared the heck out of me

i only logged my food when i felt i needed it to control my eating. once i got into the habit of what and how much i could eat i didnt bother logging so much. my calories have been a lot higher since then on advice from my trainer..more like 1800 a day. i never eat red meat though nor much of any meat or fish at all which…

i did mine in 2 stages i lost 112lb 12 years ago then slowly put back 28lbs. Stayed at 196lbs for 10 years then decided i was sick of being size 14 about 5 months ago. This time i've lost 42lbs ( even tho i've only lost 30 since i joined here) i'm now 4lbs from goal and size 10 sometimes 12 uk

thanks everyone. i didnt want to be bothering my doctor if it was some trivial thing i'd brought on myself..theyre busy enough without me clogging up their waiting room. but i will call tomorrow and get an appointment

i do drink a fair bit of coffee i have to admit. maybe 6 or 7 mugs a day. I also wondered if the fact i dont eat red meat or much meat at all, would have anything to do with it. Could anaemia cause the same problems?

i sold all of my too big clothes on ebay and used the cash to buy smaller things. Like you i had lots of things with tags on and no way was i giving them away. I was lucky though as i also had a wardrobe full of things that were too small since i refused to see my true size and bought things i told myself would fit or i…

time, lots of time. weight training helps as does a good vitamin E or shea butter cream but ultimately if its going to go back it will just take time.

omg pic 2 i want her stomach!!!

i'm 5ft10 and 155lb and my calves are massive theyre 16in. Im trying hard to decrease them so i can buy some boots

No i eat when im hungry as long as i know i am genuinely hungry. I cant live a regimented lifestyle of having to eat at certain times like i used to it drove me nuts. now i eat when i want to

I've lost 3in from my thighs and 3in from my calves but compared to the 7in i lost from my hips and 6in i lost from my waist it really sucks lol. I dont want to look gaunt but i dont want massive legs either. I should sue my parents for bad genes :laugh:
