Contemplating life, All those big questions, such as Should I have more cheese....?

Just, no. All manner of no.

I went to get sized for bras today, and learned that I'm down from a 42 band to a 34! :) Turns out the cup size is weirdly still the same, though..... :|

Woot woot, great job! :)

I hear ya, it feels so weird being a more blend-in-able size. But good weird.

Well, I think you look lovely, your dress is a great bold colour that says to me, 'I am worth noticing', and a flattering length and neckline too. Rockin' it! :) I understand your anxiety, I'll make someone take a hundred photos before I accept one they can keep (I too used to crop out my big arms!) but I'm getting better…

I do this all the time, it's my biggest issue. It's a cycle I just cannot seem to kick. I've been trying lately to buy lower-cal snacks so I know that when I inevitably reach for them after midnight, they won't really impact the day ahead, like a prepackaged portion of plain cooked chicken at about 120 cals. I sometimes…

That's fantastic!

I just got fed up of hating myself and turning my head away whenever I walked past a mirror. Congrats on your loss so far!

It's become harder for me, I'm on my last 12lbs, I had to stop eating back my exercise calories for a bit to get my loss moving again.

I've bought a Bento box as a result of reading this thread and can't wait to use it, and there are some great snack ideas in here which I wouldn't have thought of! Since I have coeliac and have to take a lunchbox with me any time I know I won't be able to get suitable food (which is often) the Bento box is a far…

One pound a week consistently is great, you should be proud of that!

A jar of all his crush's discarded chewing gum.

People keep calling me a skinny Minnie, which I've never been told before in my life, lol. I'm not skinny but the change in my weight is enough to have some people saying I am, especially people who don't see me in person regularly.

:)

I can be really bad for boredom eating too. I try to lose myself in a good video game. Headphones on, glass of juice, get wrapped up in the story and concentrate on that. If you don't game, an engrossing book does the job too. Alternatively, a nap is always good to pass the time, lol; you can't snack while you're asleep! :p

About the real world in general....

Dropping a BMI class feels amazing, very well done!

Most chain places like fast food restaurants have calorie info available online for everything, including their drinks, so you should be able to get a more accurate calorie count if you check the website of the place you got your drink from. I couldn't give up soda either, but I did switch from regular Coke to Coke Zero,…

Did anyone else see NPC and come in here expecting a video game question....? 0_o

I just emptied my wardrobe of my clothes that were sizes 16 and 18, it feels amazing to be wearing a 12 or 14! I filled 3 big bags with stuff that's too big for me. Now I have to save up and go shopping again as my wardrobe is a bit bare, weight loss feels great but it's expensive, lol.

Welcome Nicola, I'm working on losing personally but my fella successfully gained a few pounds on here; make sure you weigh as much of your food as you can for accuracy, log it all honestly and meet your daily goal, you'll get to where you want to be. :) Good luck!

I don't weigh eggs, personally (one of the only things I don't weigh.) I understand (someone correct me if I'm wrong?) that the main reason for calorie differences when having eggs comes from whatever is added during the cooking method, e.g. if you make scrambled egg in a pot with milk, then the milk adds calories to the…

Even more impressive than the Simpsons sand sculpture behind you in the first photo, lol. Well done, you look great!
