I am currently almost the weight you were and aiming to be around the weight you are aha. Thank you for your help! :#

Thank you for all of your advice! I have to admit there are some days where I stop logging my food and think i'm doing okay, it's probably these days I need to work on. :s

Even if he did say he is sorry and wants you back, you shouldn't be in a relationship with somebody who doesn't accept you for exactly who you are, weight gain or not. If you want to lose weight do it for you and nobody else.

Thank you for your advice! Hopefully with how my diet has changed now I will start to see some difference :smile:

I am honestly overwhelmed by everything everyone has said, thank you all so much for your advice and support :love: :blushing: I only starting using the social side of MFP this week and i'm definitely glad I did. I know I need to work on myself first, because even when I do lose the weight, the mentality I have at the…

Thank you so much, everything you said really means a lot to me :embarassed: I really do think I need to calm down and think about situations before I overreact, but it is really hard to when you have that sick feeling in the bottom of your stomach, through no fault of his or my own. At the end of the day it's his choice…

Exactly how I feel! :sick:

That does sound like a good idea :happy: I was kind of thinking of doing it all in one go and having a bit of a make over when I had lost weight, but I suppose no time like the present :tongue:

Thank you so much for that :blushing: At least the way i'm feeling is encouraging me to lose weight aha :laugh:

heyyy! :happy: think this is my fourth or fifth MFP account aha. decided to get more social on here and so far it's definitely working :drinker:

I have a 6 month old fur baby! :smooched: Everyone around me seems to be having real babies, bit too early for me yet :laugh:

First of all, congratulations for deciding to start. There is nothing to be scared of, everyone here at MFP is here to support you throughout. I was in a similar situation to you, binge eating, feeling terrible and saying 'i'll carry on with my diet tomorrow.' It may be daunting, but just think how good you will feel when…

Nope, dash of skimmed milk and 2 sweeteners :glasses:

You look amazing! congratulations :flowerforyou:

This is so inspiring! I can't wait until I can make this post saying 'i've done it' :laugh: Congratulations! :flowerforyou:

I used to weigh myself everyday, but got incredibly disheartened when I saw I had gained. I now only use the scales at the gym which measure body fat/BMI/weight once a week. I find it better not having the temptation to check everyday.

Easiest and tastiest thing I use is yoghurt and mint dressing. It's the stuff they use to put on chip shop kebabs here in the UK :laugh: Around 50 calories for enough to cover your salad and it comes in a huge sauce bottle. Best thing is it has a similar expiration date to ketchup, so you don't need to throw any away or…

:bigsmile: Thank you for all of the advice! I've now changed my goal to a pound a week and it's giving me 1390 calories a day which I know I never go over anyway :glasses: Definitely need to up my meals and cut out the pointless snacks though :frown:

Incredibly true :drinker:

:laugh: Thanks for the advice :bigsmile: The only time I mainly eat carbs is for breakfast and i'm starving by midday. Do you have any suggestions for a quick filling breakfast? I start work at 7am most days so I don't really have time to cook much :grumble:

I think the 'healthy snacks' might be where i'm going wrong. Tend to feel like i've wasted calories on things like cereal bars and yoghurts :ohwell:

I'm 5 foot 6 and weigh 164lbs. Ideally I want to lose around 40lbs, I exercise twice a week and would like to lose 2 pounds or more at the start of my weight loss. Do you think that with 40lbs to lose a pound a week would work better? Tired of giving up on this :noway:

After reading all of these comments I had to get myself a coffee aha :laugh: :noway:
