i've given up eating milk chocolate because it seriously was my down fall-before MFP i was eating at least 200g a day! the issue with most chocolate is the sugar content -which is what you crave rather than the chocolate itself. i'm now only eating good quality dark chocolate, and because i don't really like the plain…

you look really lovely -well done!

just dont brush you teeth for 40 minutes after

It may be that you are eating too quickly. One issue for alot of overweight people (myself included) is that we eat way too fast, which is why many of use are overweight! Thing is when you are eating foods that haven't been as processed, it's harder for our body to break down these foods. So what you need to do is eat…

honestly, i think you should see a Doctor because if you're drinking that much -then you should be needing the loo. Only other thing i would suggest is that maybe you don't recognise when you need a wee? i used to have a similar issue with my bowels-in that i didn't recognise the feeling of needing the loo until the last…

i like that even though i'm overweight at present, i'm still fairly in proportion. :)

you need to try to look at yourself as a whole, rather than just body parts. I'm 34 and when i was younger i used to pick myself apart -eyes too close, lips too small, belly too big. Nowadays, even though i'm bigger -i'm happy with myself (losing weight for health more than anything else) But you need to realise that…

on the check in section of MFP it has an area for measurements -start measuring yourself instead of weighing as it's much more accurate

it doesn't bother me because of the context -it's people wanting to show how much weight they've lost and with clothes out of the way it's easier to show. Admittedly, i won't ever be doing that cause i'm a prude! lol!

your face looks much younger and the dress fits much nice over yur hips -well done!

i try to hide the scales ebcause daily fluctuations in weight can really bring you down! i also think that weighing once a week, you're more likely to see bigger loss which will make you feel happier

everytime i went to the doctors i was told to lose weight -even when i was in the normal weight BMI category. I used to think i was fat, now i want to be that size! lol!

few cubes of a nice dark chocolate or a banana

ooh yes, flatter stomach and even smaller waist! well done!

wow, you look great! :D

looked at their nutrional info online: Chick-fil-A® Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich – 300 Calories Side Salad – 70 Calories or Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Strips® Salad – 470 Calories Total Calories: 470 excluding condiments

thanks guys :)

don't listen to the CD anymore, but the tips he has in the book have really stuck with me particularly about eating slowly/put cutlery down between bites. I find this helps me so much, because i used to just wolf food down and then feel sick soon after! I also like the advice about not kicking yourself for having a bad day…

same here as my work uniform are scrubs-nice and baggy! saying that today a couple of the girls at work noticed when i was in my normal clothes-which cheered me up!

get an appointment with a physiotherapist -they can advise you on exercises that suit you personally. regarding stretchmarks-the colour will fade with time to a silvery shade but apart from that, they are with you forever! try not to worry as almost all human beings have stretch marks somewhere on their body

astounding, you should be proud of yourself

live in a small village near Caldicot ,South East Wales! not Welsh -but want to be! lol!

tbh, i'm not a fast food fan anyway and as i'm also really stingy with my money -i can't justify the cost!

lol! my thoughts exactly! and i have no suggestions either!

Ooh, thanks for the responses. I was just intrigued! In the UK there are also plenty of fast food places, every small town will have a chippy, Chinese takeaway and Indian takeaway. But fast-food here isn't as cheap which helps. Saying that, Alot of Brits live on processed meals these days- which are generally very high in…

I'd been saying that I need to lose weight for a while, but kept putting it off. Then I had a really nasty IBS attack, which made me lose a days work and was really painful. That was the wake up call to stop stuffing my face especially with fatty foods which I know irritate my stomach (that attack was caused by too much…

jam is made with fruit and caster sugar which is what preserves it

whilst i agree with most what you have said and congrats on the weightloss. Honey at night time will give you tooth decay more than anything else!

hehe, love my android however spelling on it can be tricky! (see my initial post!)

you look great, beautiful hair btw :)
