Im from Ireland...there isnt really a traditional meal for St Patricks Day lol but stew would be pretty close if there was one!

I had a little look at your diary... I think you might be misjudging your calories! My 180mls of semi-skimmed milk is 90 calories...how is your 300mls 70? I honestly think you just need to be a bit more conscious of what your eating. If you have *honestly* been eating 1200 for the last year and havent lost any weight at…

5'1" here.. apparently 6st 10 (94lbs) would be healthy for me... emmmmm no thanks! Lol

Yayy so after losing 54lbs I was sitting at a healthy bmi....nope..now im overweight again! :s

You could consider adding in seeds and nuts as snacks throughout the day as these are quite high in calories and are also very filling :-)

Your profile says you are 24 OP? You have some really great advice here but I would suggest if you are under 18 years old that you go to a site more suitable for your age and/or speak to someone that can help you with your food issues :smile:

Hi everyone, My name is Anna, im 31 years old and im from Northern Ireland. Im mummy to a little girl called Aíne who is 7 years old and a little boy called Ronan who is 4 years old. I work as a youth worker and im currently studying my BA (Honours) degree in Childhood and Youth studies! I started my weight loss journey…

Have added you...cant find the group though :-/

Lol @ bigbluefrog! Thanks...its a stuggle some days!

Thanks :-)

16lbs left for me...have lost 53lbs so far! Have added you :-)

I had a little look at your diary...some of your food is weighed using cups- these are never accurate and I *think* (this is just my opinion) you might be over estimating ur calories burned :-/ I use an elliptical machine and burn 300 calories per hour! However..here in the UK and Ireland we are strongly advised to refrain…

Im 5ft 1 and at a healthy weight...im eating 1300-1400 a day and im still dropping 1lb a week. Do you weigh all sauces you eat and any oil etc you cook your food in? What about liquids you consume? How many calories are you estimating you are buring while you run? :-)

Yeah my work is like that sometimes hahahaha ...everyone heads out for lunch and I hold the fort in work! I dont mind though as I end up saving money and calories for other nice treats I would rather have at home!!

I aim for 3 to 4 hours a week...im studying part time, working part time and have 2 kids! I think thats plenty lol

The 'label' is only down to the completely flawed BMI scale. Your the same height as me and when I started I was 181lbs...I spoke with my doctor who also kindly gave me the obese label and off I trotted feeling like total *kitten*! After 20 months of healthy eating and exercising 3x a week im down to 132lbs...with NO help…

Hi, Im 5ft 1 and started at 181lbs back in april 2013...as of today im 132lbs and sitting in the healthy zone of the bmi scale! When I first started I had my calories set to lose 1lb a week as I didnt want to lose too fast...now im losing about half a pound a week! Just stick at it..it takes a while to notice changes but…

Hey..im from Ireland so just across the water! Im 5ft 1 and started at 181lbs and im sitting at 133lbs now. Trying to get down to around 112lbs ..add me if you want :-)

Ive had two kids...youngest is now 4 and a half and my dreaded mummy tummy is still hanging around...albeit a little smaller :-/ ...I cant really suggest anything coz im still trying to get rid of mine but just wanted to say that ur not alone x

Hey, im 5ft 1 and 133lbs! I know that's less than u asked but I started at 181lbs and hoping to get to around 112lbs :-)

I get that a lot now. Im 5ft 1 and started at 181 pounds. Im aiming to get to around 120 pounds so only have 14 pounds more to go (which, according to my BMI would put me at 22.7!). I went to see my nurse on Wednesday to get my blood pressure checked (for the pill) and she told me that I already am within the healthy range…

Hi, Yes I changed my goal from 133lbs to 120 lbs. I'm only 2lbs from my original goal of 133lbs so it feels natural now to reassess these goals. I'm 5ft 1 and started at 181lbs April 2013. I'm aiming to shift these last 15lbs by March/April 2015 so taking my time! :) Anna :)

Hi, I have the exact same problem. I started out at 181lbs and I'm now 141lbs. The skin has tightened up slightly but definitely not to the point I am happy with it lol. I've heard lifting is the best for the extra skin ...im a little lacking on the money front so I'm hoping next summer (and hopefully around my goal weight…

Hi, I don't really have any advice for you but I just wanted to say snap! I've lost 34lbs from April 2013 and have exactly 20lbs more to go to bed to my goal weight...I've had 2 kids that have contributed to my weight gain and other stupid factors along the way so I've gave myself until next year to get that off. I'm…

Hi, I was on this medication for post natal depression. I didn't start on this dose straight away..my doctor gradually increased it to 60mg as I wasn't seeing any difference on the lower dosage. I did feel slightly spaced out but not to the extent of being immobile. They recommend taking the medication before bed as it…

Yeah my clothes are slightly looser ...and I know this is great ..its just very sad to see the scale not moving at all :( Maybe im just expecting too much?

I don't know TDEE and BMR but I tend to work around 1300 calories a day burning around 500 calories working out...if that makes sense?

Ugh my size is awful so ill not expect a change for a while then lol

Thanks guys....it was really getting me down! How long does it normally take for the body to get use to the exercising? Or is everyone different? Thanks again

thanks guys....and lol @ coma
