Thanks for the input. It's funny, I've been overweight/obese almost all of my adult life apart from a few occasions. I've never been all that bothered with my body image because I never thought I'd get to the point where I'd need to be bothered. But the motivation I've had from losing that weight is driving me to want to…

I've lost 79lbs today and am officially in the healthy BMI range.

My next mini goal... To get to a healthy BMI which I'm about 5lbs off. After that....I want to aim for the middle of healthy BMI

Nobody told me how much my libido would increase. I feel like a hormonal teenager again. 🤭

I officially fit into a UK size 14. This is monumental for me, coming down from a size 26. I've bought two pairs of jeans tonight that I thought it's something to aim towards, but tried them on tonight and they fit perfectly!

Looking in the mirror this morning and seeing that I again have collar bones.

I think walking is hugely underated. If school is close enough, walk her there and back everyday. I have a pet hate for mothers who jump in the car to bring their kids 10mins down the road. My mother walked me to school 35 mins away everyday. Try going for a walk with her after dinner every evening, it will give you both…

I'm starting at a similar weight. Feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me. Midlands Northants area. Need a new support network since records joining. :)

Just returned to MFP..so lots of previous friends no longer log. Please add me for support and to get some back.

Hi, welcome. I'm back here again..so back on the wagon. Well done by the way and keep going. Feel free to add me!

Hi, thanks. I have been to a couple of gyms in and around Northampton and Rushden but disliked the feel of them and it did feel very much like a chore. I've just started going to PureGym and I love it. It's got a more accepting feel to it. Plus the price is pretty good. Hikes and walks is a great way of getting out. I'm…

My advice would be to find a routine that suits you. I began going to the gym in early December. I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I've done lots of reading on line and have bought a fit bit tracker to keep on top of my workouts. My routine has changed since I started but that's down to the fact that I can last…

My resting heart rate is always under 60bpm, I'm clinically obese, however used to be very active so don't know if this has made a difference or the fact that I'm super laid back...Anyway here are my details. Resting heart rate 53-56bpm BP 130/72 Height: 5'3 Weight: 220 lbs Age: 31 Activity: mildly active. Gym 2-3 times a…

My last trip to the gym I changed things up a bit... I intentionally used the elliptical for 30mins to try to increase stamina and get through the giving up point. Then treadmill my usual mix up for 10 mins Plus weights after. It's difficult to know what to concentrate on for a good routine especially as I'm in the obese…

I have a fit bit one which I wear in my bra at work as i cannot wear anything below the elbows and a fitbit on my wrist that monitors my heart rate. I love both for different reasons. The one is compact and works well with my working life. The other I use at the gym to keep tabs on my work outs and heart rate. My partner…

Weightless initially and then work on fitness after getting and staying in the normal weight category.

Hey there, Im of similar height and my weight is about 6 lbs more than you feel free to message me. Im starting back after a break. Perhaps we can help each other along the way!

Thanks everyone for the advice and positivity. Changing my mindset toward food and excercise is going to be tough but I ready. I have my partner on board too so that feels like half the battle won!

I eat mostly vegetarian food...Never really been a meat lover. Chicken makes me gag when you get a chewy bit, plus im never quite convinced its cooked properly. Pork and lamb, I just dont eat. Beef Id probably eat the most of but only due to making a beef stew from a recipe my mum makes! I was vegetarian for about 8 years…

I think sometimes she is TOO supportive! However saying that the last time we did it together I lost a good 50lbs! I often think that she can be a bad influence on me. All this week when I have beem off work Ive cooked healthily. I had to do two 12hr shifts in a row and each night Id get in and she has made two VERY…

Im feeling pretty similar at the moment. I have regained a lot of which I lost in January but today is a new day. New day new start!

I like the idea of a confessions thread! Get out the bad stuff Ive done! Ive had a cheese burger on the way home from work and a Ice cream with choc cunks! Which I havent logged... :(

Hi, I have just rejoined and In a similar place. Regained most of what I lost and now have extra too try and shift. Good luck!

Hi...Im in the same boat just re joined! Add me hopefully we can help each other!

Thanks all for the advice. Im going to have a good dinner tonight as in lots of veggies take my measurements and weight tomorrow morning and hopefully it will kick start me. I have at the moment set mini goals. So making sure I fill in the food diary to start and aim to get out for a walk. I guess I shouldnt bottle it all…

Thanks guys for the really kind responses they are very helpful and reassuring that Im not on my own. Thanks Tina for that Quote... I think I will copy it and put it on my fridge!

Well done you look absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic work!

Thats excellent work! Well done!

We all make a few bad decisions... the thing is to pick yourself back up and not let it get you down. You seem like your in the right frame of mind though, If you are feeling hungry try go for lower calorie foods... fill up on fruit or salad. Stay strong!
