people who get in the pool, chat with their mates and then get out, thinking that's a workout. (and I'm talking about the ones who don't even do a length). It prevents me from getting to the end of the pool.

when you are so desperate for the toilet after drinking your 6th glass of water that day that instead of unzipping and unbuttoning your trousers you can just slip them down! Oh yeah!!

you look awesome and what a great birthday present to yourself!!! Well done!!!

hellloooooo!!!! Welcome. I'd suggest maybe a week of just logging your food, and not changing anything drastically for the first week. Get to know what you eat and what's good and what's not. I was amazed at some of the things I was eating that I thought weren't that bad but turned out to be really naughty!!! The main…

isn't there that hypnosis that makes you think you have a gastric band so you feel full. That might be something to look into with regards to hypnosis?

oh - my - god!! thanks, that was interesting, it 's basically a hormone that uses up the fat you have stored but can only be done for 40 days and you lose 1lb a day. Did I read that right?

it doesn't sound so great, I've always seen a lot of people doing it but I never knew what it was. Does it suppress your appetite or something, and do men do the diet? what do the hormones do. Don't worry I'm not going to do it, I'm interested as to what it does and works

does a hug count as a reward? It's contact right? Maybe you could fashion a "free hug" t-shirt and wear it out, I reckon you'd get a lot of love from that!

this does make sense, and I definitely see your point. I hadn't thought of it like that

bump for later

But I don't think it's right that we should "educate" them especially when they don't want to be educated on doing it healthily but they want a quick fix, they want you to tell them there is a magic pill. I'm just holding my hands up, I want to do this the healthy way which is right for me so it wouldn't be fair for me to…

maybe I'm new to this but what is 'read the stickies'? I'm very acquainted with the search function, I love it. Use it loads. MFP has been a powerful and major impact on my life. Thanks to all out there who motivate and support me every day!! :flowerforyou:

quite simply ..... WOW!!!! That is truly a transformation and thinspiration to all!!! Well done!

This is what I meant to say, sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone. I just get a little frustrated when people ask for advice and then get annoyed that it's not because of some quick fix pill. apologies again :ohwell:

I think maybe I'm a bi**h or something cos after they have asked once and don't listen I tell them I imported a pill off the internet called Yuwish and I take one of them a day, but also watch what I eat and go for the occasional walk. They look dead interested until they figure it out. Yeah you wish!!!!!

oh - my - god!!! Exactly my story, doctor told me she wanted to see me again in three months as I had high blood pressure and was at risk of high cholesterol. The party for me was in April. I was disgusted at the pctures of me, I couldn't beloeve what I had become! urgh!

medium rare ribeye steak with 3 king prawns and bearnaise sause with home made crunchy chips. cheesecake I don't have these anymore. It's been three months since I had cheesecake! I do absolutely love fish and for me the best tasting thing in the world now has to be prawns. yum yum yum!!!!!

I think maybe you should look up two week diets or something if you want to lose a lot (more than 3 pounds a week) maybe the cabbage soup diet or beach diet, but I think you will probably get the same kind of answers from everyone on here, this is a long haul site with people doing it healthy and sustaining. It's not…

you are fabulous! You've done fantastic and you will carry on doing fantastic! Definitely a thinspiration for me! We can do this!!!!

I am trying to eat all my 1200 calories but until I get my HRM I don't want to eat back any exercise calories in case I do more damage than good. What do you think? Should i up to 1500? I have been losing two pounds a week consistently.

omg, I've just realised! You are amazing! I stopped drinking green tea three days ago cos it was too hot, and this is the first time in a long time that I have wanted to eat although I'm full. I could hug you!!!!!!!!!! I'm boiling the kettle now!:flowerforyou:

If I can do it anyone can do it, I loved food, hated exercise 4 months ago and well my boyfriend said he loved me whatever so I didn't really care. Then I saw that it can be done and it's not as difficult as you think it will be. Exercise (find one you enjoy) earns you calories!!! Calories equals not going without. It's a…

Great now I want cheese!!!:cry:

thank you so much for your responses, they have actually helped a lot. I guess it's about reconditioning our brains towards our thought on food. I was brought up being told to eat everything on the plate, and I think I'm constantly battling this, so may be like someone said I should make myself leave two bites everytime…

I swam a mile!!! 64 lengths in under an hour. When I finished I victory punched the air!! It felt amazing

My friends did that, always invited me out for drinks and then they would eat chips and mayonaise in front of me saying just one wouldn't hurt. But it's not the one that would hurt, it's the other dozen I would eat! So I don't see them much anymore. I think in all honesty they are a little jealous that I have stuck to this…

ah well done, that is amazing. Definitely a mile stone! thinspiration to all!

I'd get it all!!! It's a good job I don't live in America, or I could be a lot worse off than I am!!!! Wowser!

like like like!!!

ah I do feel for you. Everyone gets like this I think at some point. I hate walking by myself (I truly believe I am a pack animal and I need people around me! Call me wolfwoman if you like!) Can you find someone who will go for a walk with you or does the gym offer just swimming as and when. I found I can go when I want…
