@makkman face!!:bigsmile:

replies will vary on here as some people eat back their exercise calories and some don't. Its all down to personal choice. I have a fitbit and it logsa my exercise calories on here automatically and changes my allowances automatically but to be honest i ignore it. i use my fitbit just for my own reference on calories…

The body pic on there is way out of date i was size 16 there. I actually started the whole journey 10 years ago at size 26 and dieted to a size 14. i stayed that size for 8 years then the weight crept up to size 16 so 8 months ago i really cracked down and im now a size 10/12. I know the numbers im just having a hard time…

I'm pretty samey here too. i didnt used to be but i have foods that i love and i eat them a lot and never get fed up of them.

Yeah who needs lettuce anyway :laugh:

Honest! It was my first Diwali and i've never had Indian sweets before so i tried everything and even brought tons home. I'm addicted to Jalebi i'm so glad we cant get it here. I came home with more samosas and Indian food than a local restaurant :embarassed:

I think i've decided it should be Diwali once a week and i'll be size 8 by christmas :bigsmile:

i dont have a pic yet but mine is 0.73 26in waist 35.5in hips

gosh superciliousness is such an attractive quality is it not?? :huh: i pity the day you ever need help from anyone with something YOU find difficult OP because i think you may find yourself very much alone. A lot of people do need help and they don't find it easy, this is WHY sites like this exist...so that they can get…

definitely the dark brown

Yep!! i felt like this once.... i divorced my husband, lost 8stone, joined a gym, got a job when i wasn't allowed one before, met a gorgeous guy, started writing a book, made new friends and started an online blog. Im sure i'll add things to this list as i go along

im just about to have my third mirena and i love it. ive lost 125lbs with one in and am only 9lbs away from goal weight. I wach my calorie intake, weight train and do 1hrs cardio a day 5 days a week

i love fage with honey but at the moment im hooked on Chobani. The ones with the fruit on the bottom are divine and i could eat them all day. Saying that i like the slightly sour taste of greek yoghurt its yummy!!

I met my lovely fella on a dating site. He lives 90 miles away from me so in the beginning we became very good friends and wailed our dating woes at each other but there was just a spark there that wouldn't be ignored. Neither of us wanted a semi long distance relationship but travelling time is pretty quick so it works…

do like i did, tell yourself... 1) you want to exercise? Great go exercise 2) You don't want to exercise, again great then dont 3) If you choose option 2 start a savings account, you'll need it to pay for all the heart disease medication when youre older 4) Again if you choose option 2 start planning ways to rearrange in…

i just bought my first above the knee skirt suit. I havent worn dresses for decades except as long tops with trousers and today i saw a gorgeous navy skater style dress with matching waist length jacket and i bought it. I do this a lot and normally would've shoved it in the wardrobe but as im only 7lb from final goal i…

no i kept my diet pretty much the same as usual, i never change even on rest days. my sodium and carb levels are pretty low anyway. If anything ive eaten more protein than usual

i guess this is it then , im 43.. i'll just have to hit the gym hard when im better then...thanks guys :flowerforyou:

same. ive missed 4 days gym, i feel awful and ive turned into Mr Stay Puffed overnight. Being ill sucks

oooh i hope so its just so weird after feeling more toned and slim and then suddenly morphing into the pilsbury dough boy and feeling fat and wobbly. I guess its another good incentive to stick with the gym!!

i realised mine was a lifestyle choice when i didnt need to log my food any more to keep my weight steady. And i didnt need to log when i wanted to drop a little bit more weight i just automatically knew what and how much i could eat. I'm glad because im not such a slave to food any more i just automatically make good…

did you take body measurements? often you can lose inches without the scale budging at all or even gaining weight.

1. Pineapple 2. Greek Yoghurt 3. oatmeal 4. bagged mixed salad 5. Multigrain bread 6.Chicken 7.broccoli 8.cottage cheese 9.Mango 10. Houmous

total rubbish!! i've lost 125lbs and i don't often eat breakfast. I mostly have coffee in a morning and don't eat till late morning before i go to the gym. You do what works for you, there is no hard and fast rule about what you MUST do to lose weight

I was a huge carbaholic ( i was the sandwich and donut queen) but i really cut down a lot and i never eat 'white' carbs due to IBS. Do you workout much?? i do 5 days a week now, taking weekends off of 1 hour cardio/ 1 hour weight training per day. I find my weight sticks during the week or goes up a pound but after the…

wow youre almost my twin!! i'm 43, 5ft 10 and 159lbs and ditto on the mirena coil and boyfriend eats veggie a lot although he isnt vegetarian. Also aiming for 150lbs and ive been really tired lately so i upped my calories quite a lot. I increased from 1400 to around 1800 a day and instead of low carb high protein i…

I'm 5ft 10 and currently weigh 159lbs down from my highest weight of 284lb. initially i aimed for size 16 and 196lb because that seemed like a dream back then and i stayed there for about 7 years. then i decided i needed to lose more and yoyoed for 3 years between 196lb and 168lb before i decided enough was enough. This…
