Time to put this high vis on and head out in the dark I think! If only I had a gym in my house.

Ordered new scales last night. Got on old scales today. Dropped two pounds.

The scales show whole pound increments. I think I'm going to invest in some new ones as this is just demoralising. As the scales have told me every day for two weeks, I'm 10 stone 2 and need to lose 7 pounds to be a healthy weight again, so I'm not expecting great losses every week as it's not a lot to shift.

Thanks, I'll try that. I feel myself cringing suggesting that my scales are broken and that's the reason I'm not losing weight :D but it just seems so odd that they're not moving at all. The scales were cheap as chips. I got them out of Home Bargains for £5.

From Scotland. Back again after a winter hiatus, half a stone heavier. Feel free to add me everyone.

Ha ha, that's nuts. Haven't had any messages like that so far.

You're probably right. I'd settle for half that to be honest. Maybe four pounds is more realistic.

I'm 5'2 so not far off that unfortunately.

Hello, everyone. I'm Dawn from Edinburgh. I've lost a stone and I have about a stone to lose but it's proving pretty hard to shift! My downfalls are beer and cheese. Always on the look out for new pals from the UK so feel free to add me )

I'd love to be pals. I've lost 17 pounds ( in about two years) and have 14 to go. Beer, cheese, bread and oil are my downfall. I'd love to have them in moderation but one is never enough!

I'm from Scotland have sent you a friend request :)

Slange!

Hi, You mentioned you are depressed. The implication is as a result of your weight problem. But are you on any kind of medication for that? SSRI's can make you put on/make it harder to lose weight and I've heard anti-psychotics are even worse. Before anyone suggests it I'm not advocating not taking medication, just…

No way would I consider 2000 calories a binge. That's only a little more than my daily allowance. I would see 2000 above my daily allowance a binge, which is quite easily done with a large dominos and a few beers. Unless I'm missing something?

Genuine lol!!

Lol, I'm sure I saw a Simpsons episode about that.

Thanks for all your replies. Only one day until I find out how it has gone.

Language is a living thing and for whatever reason calling someone fat does seem derogatory. Particularly as the word 'fat' is often used with its bedfellows 'lazy' and even 'stupid'. I am only slight overweight and have never been called fat in my life but I can see why it would hurt people. I would avoid using it. It's…

To be honest I enjoy a glass of wine...if I'm honest with myself, that's what's making it harder.

I'm 157 lbs and my goal weight is 128! Is that any good?

More calories on the way in the form of beers during the overnight coverage! Sorry about your experience Hell Flower. What a goon.

Quavers are less than 100 calories per bag if memory serves.

I just had to google hot tamale. And I'm still not sure I know what it means.

Apparently it would have had 2100 calories! I'm one of those people who weighs themselves every day.

Could it be a thyroid issue?

I would love to do this but I live in Britain and for some reason it's a big no no to ask for a doggy bag! It's really annoying!

Thanks - I'll try!

Keep us posted with how you get on!

Cool as!
