Essex

I'm nerdy and have 100+ to lose! I love playing Xbox one (overeating, Destiny, call of duty, fortnite) I love the walking dead, the comics and the tv show I love films, mainly horror, and I love binge watching series (breaking bad, dexter, walking dead etc) I like rock/alternative music and going to concerts I like art,…

My goal is to lose 100+ I've lost 21lbs so far, but still so many more to lose! Feel free to add me

I need some more friends to support me and I will support back- I have a lot of weight to lose I have lost 14 lbs so far and still so much more to lose I am finding it okay at the moment but I suffer with anxiety, depression and insomnia so my motivation and self confidence and will power could change at any moment! But I…

Thank you, I'm not too sure about shakes to be honest. I tried a meal replacement shake a couple of years ago and it tasted horrible but then I saw the bio synergy protein shake and the description looked pretty good but I guess that is what all the brands do. Its just shopping becomes a nightmare I check everything and…

I also need to lose 100plus, it is very hard with my depression anxiety ocd and sleep problems because my energy levels motivation etc all get affected. I am not really into fad diets but I have ordered myself some chocolate protein shake powder today to replace one or 2 meals daily I hope it works out

Thanks :D yeah I was reading about non dairy in coffee isn't great I might just switch to black coffee, because I have to have my coffee milky but I can deal with black but I don't like just adding a splash of milk I don't know why lol :) do you just soak the oats in the milk in the fridge over night or can you heat it up?…

I know you said you're not a big meat eater but chicken and tuna are also good for protein, you could try doing a salad or veggies or pasta with it or something

Milk and eggs are good, you could buy some protein powder and mix a bit with normal milkshake flavour to try mask the taste

Essex but in Bristol at the moment

Meeeee :)

You can add me

Thanks that's great! Definitely going to try it :) thank you

Have you tried cooking up some stir fry veggies? Its my go to easy meal, I buy a sachet of chow mein sauce or black bean sauce etc which range from 50-80 cal per half sachet, spray the pan with light cooking spray 1 cal per spray and fry the stir fry veggies up and add the sauce and usually add chopped chicken breast to…

Yeah I've been eating chicken breast for the past 3 days with stir fry vegetables, but today o just couldn't eat anymore of it lol, I'm going to try include tuna and eggs and stuff in my diet until I find a good protein powder that doesn't cost too much

I've been searching for flavoured ones but can't seem to find any sold in the UK, I might just buy the unflavoured one and give it a go :) I'm getting bored of eating the same food for protein and cant really afford to keep buying meat, so powder seems like a pretty good idea :D

Looking for more friends, just came back to mfp recently hopefully for good :)

Soup :3 with winter creeping in, oatmeal would be good for breakfasts. Soups are reasonably cheap, could even try making your own. Also. Buy things that are on special offer, check all your stores to find out which is cheapest and what deals are on. Rice, pasta, noodles etc stretch a long way and theres so many different…

Sainsbury's do boxes of 10 sachets of porridge oats.I only buy the original one or the one with barley as the rest have too much added sugars to them. I usually cut up a few strawberries or add a handful of blueberries to it (:

Thanks Branstin! I just read up on the 5:2 diet I've heard about it but assumed it was another fad diet but it actually looks quite good! I think I will try it next week :)

I started out 316lbs (May 2014) and have lost 29lbs so far with no assistance from a doctor or anything. At the end of the day I'm the one who's allowed myself to get overweight therefore I should be the one to lose it with no gastric band.

This is a great idea! Maybe we could do this next week too? I have ordered an air walker/gravity strider which is coming at the weekend :D

I have just created a group called 'Fighting the Fat with Friends!' Please join its for all of us :)

Yes we need to keep positive :D and having friends with the same goals we can all help each other and talk, discuss things etc. I am making a group its called Fighting the fat with friends I hope it picks up :)

Thanks!

Nice how are the shakes? I've never tried a shake diet :) right now I'm watching calories and cutting portion size. I fill up on water and swap the unhealthy things for fruits and veg :)

Once you start losing weight you will feel better, be healthier, more confident and more motivated :D

I am 302 lbs I suffer with chronic anxiety, depression and insomnia. I know its so hard to get the motivation to do things. You burn calories at rest. Try taking 1000 or 2000 cals off first and drink plenty of water. I lost 14 lbs with basically no exercise apart from some mild arm exercises

Aww I missed out will you be doing this for July?

I would like to join :)
