Could it be that it was a party for HER and a going-away party at that, that caused the lack of response and inclusion of you. It's nice that the focus was on her on her special day.....perhaps if you can put yourself in your friends positions they didn't want to 'dilute' their focus off of her. Don't take it to…

These substitutions started out as a way to deal with some medical issues but they had advantages in the calorie department as well....probably going to be repeating many: Yoghurt - we make our own. Savoury or sweet options Pumpkin instead of Potatoes - nightshade veg was an issue. Advantage lower carbs.....Baked with…

I too have had experience with the difficulties that you speak of.....the holding back, the thought that I and the ensuing day are ONLY as GOOD/LOW as the numbers on the scale or the tape measure. Being aware of this is the first step in overcoming this issue. Some days are easier than others..... It can be a hard,…

Beautifully written and expressed..... Thank you for sharing :heart:

Oh dear.....sorry that your Mum's comments have left you reeling. From what you have described you have a wonderful, loving relationship with her and this....well, her joke fell flat. I am sure she didn't mean the words literally......and I bet that if she knew how her response made you feel she would be terribly…

Beautifully written and expressed. Congratulations on your achievements :flowerforyou: Wishing you continued success!!!!!

:noway: I have no IDEA what helpful message you are trying to say.......maybe I am just dense but this is so confusing and rambling. OP: Have looked back thru your diary entries and can offer these insights: Too many quick add calories - leads to inaccuracies. Measuring by Cups or Generic description ie: 1 large egg need…

I bet people who haven't seen you since the change will more likely notice too. Try not to worry about others and the silence....weight is a difficult subject to broach. Congrats on the 10kgs.

Couldn't agree more with Achrya's point. A this Gif :laugh: Just spectacular!!! Are these 'people are mean' breeding exponentially??? Seems as though they are often generated due to an over reaction by the Op at the time and usually pointed squarely in the direction of the "Veterans" on the forums. Hand-in-hand with the…

Are you serious????? :huh: OP - My 2 cents worth would be to focus on engaging your kids in helping their own health directly by choosing, buying and preparing meals that aren't going to cause more problems with your Son's IBS and fatty liver condition. If you suspect that your other Son suffers with a similar condition…

Awesome Post :flowerforyou:

To all who have taken the time to come in with helpful suggestions I want to take the time to Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Since writing the question I have been back to the Doctor and he has changed some medicines in an effort to get the symptoms under control. I got weighed and there was more downward trend so…

Congratulations!!!! Truly magnificent attitude and and awe inspiring transformation. :heart: :flowerforyou:

Hi, In all honesty.....I don't know about healthier it would depend on the options available where you shop. But we have been making our own Yoghurt for years and it's advantages are slightly cheaper than commercial brands, a hellova lot fresher so they last longer, although by the sound of it that won't be an issue for…

Dear Jof, I wanted to say Thank you and any other person here who has takes the time and has the courage to try to help others here on the forums. It would be VERY true to say I am a lurker, I am pretty shy and it would also be true to say that some of the said bullying type issues that have been raised do make me very…

Not committed to IF....used as a last resort to give my guts a rest and try to arrest the malabsorption issues....Gasto' specialist recommended it . Will ask for a referral as soon a possible to a Nutritionist....I think maybe some fresh eyes could help. To the particularly callous insulting cross to bear comment....that…

Hey there MFPer's. My questions around this are at the other end of the scale from the usual stuff that I've found when I've Googled this topic. It seems that most of the information/advice talks about the idea of our bodies 'clinging' to a high set point and that can create difficulties for people not being able to lose…

cwoyto.....brutal answer and I am upping calories over and over. It seems as though you didn't bother to read ALL that I wrote and that sad for me, because you obviously don't understand my predicament. quietbloom.... Wow.......I don't know if it's my writing that sucks at getting my question across. 'Quiet' how you have…

Thanks for the replies and the kind thoughts CJMQ. I don't understand what you mean hearthwood what is No Mas.

This is perfect on every level.....and....^^^^ This is totally me......LOVE the French term for this instead of the smack to the forehead that I usually give myself. Your way is the RIGHT way for you. One of the most amazing things about losing weight is that ALL of a sudden EVERYONE is an expert. Well done on your…

You could try these: * Berries - blueberries, raspberries, fresh or frozen * Stewed - apple, pear, rhubarb (we bake fruit night before as a dessert with organic maple syrup, vanilla bean, orange zest) either as separate fruits or you could let your hair down and combine them. * Yoghurt - we make our own Greek style yoghurt…

Because YOU ARE worth the bother. Being at a healthy weight for your height and surely the ability to exercise and achieve a PB at the 5K is better than any comment from someone else. Looking for validation outside of your own personal motivation will always lead to disappointment and will probably not sustain you thru the…

Not a Bro' but a will an older Sis' do. You have lived and survived a life of extremes......so much bravery and perseverance to still be alive and fighting for a brighter future. That takes courage and strength. Never underestimate yourself. Patience will be your best companion. Sending you very best wishes for all your…

So many.....few from the top of my head. * Stopped going out :noway: * Sex (what was that) :blushing: * Couldn't find decent clothes (in fact I was wearing men's clothes as they didn't make womens in my size) :blushing: * Couldn't be a fully functioning, fun Mum and Wife. Had no energy, hurt to walk let alone run or play…

Great ideas on raising proteins etc......maybe look into limiting the amount of processed foods that you consume and start to introduce vegetable and fruits as well as meats. Use this time as a way of experimenting with cooking styles etc. You can still have treats occasionally but not perhaps as often. With regards to…

Hey there!!!! Sorry you have had a difficult week and you eat as a result of these stresses, my best advice to you to help would be to seek assistance in sorting out the underlying psychological reasons you are reacting in this way. Everyone has a reaction to stress, the only difference is in how they respond. Maybe with…

Hi there! For my 2 cents worth the biggest issue around why you aren't seeing any results, directly correlates to the fact that you are not accurately tracking your calories. In essence you have no idea what amount of calories you are consuming. Glad you have tightened up your diet and are eating 'healthy food' and…

My Doctors and my body will have to disagree with you and the writer on this one....and I too invite all brave Souls to come our house for the 'fallout' if said gluten is consumed. :explode: :blushing:

Congrats on having your Doctor be honest and not try to pressure you into unnecessary surgery. Big high 5 as well on your positive attitude around the next step on losing the rest of the weight you would like. I am so glad that the injections haven't damaged your skin and underlying tissues. Cheers and All the very Best…

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts on this post. Due to time differences I haven't seen them till this morning and they were a wonderful heart warming way to start the day.
