I have been taking these for 2 weeks and I have put on 7lb. My appetite is huge lately. My hair feels lovely and so does my skin. I was taking them because they help hip bursary pain when I do exercise. Dilemna now do I stop taking them or continue. Love having nice hair but don't want to get fatter!!

Congratulations to you. You have done an amazing job, what is the 21 day fix?

I bought my scales for £5 around $8 from Walmart Asda. Buy second hand ones from ebay.

You don't look too skinny to me, just smile at them and say thank you for noticing how fabulous i look its so much appreciated, smile and walk away from their shocked faces!!

I am just this minute reading this article, it might help. http://www.coachcalorie.com/how-to-build-muscle-fast/ xx

A friend said the other day, to look into doing what bodybuilders do, put on muscle. You can do a lot with a simple set of dumbbells at home. Lots of presses, squats, deadlifts, all sorts of resistance exercises. Start simple and use your intuition to tweak your own program from there. Bench and various presses, curl,…

I commented on FB post, you done amazing, an inspirational lady xx

This guy's website is amazing, its full of knowledge of weight loss, maintenance, reverse dieting etc etc. http://www.coachcalorie.com/how-to-maintain-weight-loss/

Not enough calories can cause a period to stop. If you have been having less than 1200 calories often, this can be the reason.

I would have grabbed my stomach and shook it at him and said made with Love!!

Try also adding in your goals, Sodium and Carbs and Sugar. So you are not having to much as i see you only do have Calories, Protein, Fiber, and you do need to know the others. For one Sodium is quite high on USA diets, and Sodium/Salt can hold weight, ie bloating stomach and water retention. If you cannot go on diet…

Absolutely brilliant

LOL,,,, maybe we are predicting your future xx

If you can go through labour pains you can go through anything!! Show your daughter what an amazing Mom you are... Show her what dedication can do. You will love being 79lb lighter!! Just think of it, as if you don't how you would feel being 79lb heavier!! You got this covered!! xx

The same thing happened to me, and Adam whose on MFP kindly told me what i was doing wrong. Your daily goal says 1719 (daily plus exercise) and you are eating less than 1200 so your body thinks its in starvation mode and its going to hang on to your fat, its not allowing it to leave, it thinks you are in a famine. It says…

I don't know you, but you are doing amazing, i had mini strokes 3 years ago, its a shock to the system getting that news eh, well done on healing your body, and now you are ready to make a new life for yourself xx

Add lots of MFP chatterboxes who keep you motivated, i have maybe 30 chatterboxes and we keep each other going, which is a good motivator. Read the posts daily on this site also is, but go over to the "Success Stories" and if one or two really motivate you, email them and ask if you can follow them as friends, i have made…

Small steps... Learn from walking first, then build up your fitness. Going straight into a fitness class will cause injuries unless you have a good tutor who teaches newbies in one class and then you build up to the next class.

I cannot buy that much sweets because my brain will think we are having a binge and that could be dangerous LOL! Occasionally i might buy the 3 sweet packs £1 but that is not very often. (My downfall is marshmallows and cola fizzy wands) :noway:

Exact 3 that i hate and should love... I don't like the textures, they creep me out LOL!

I am a digital Portrait Artist i have painted from people to animals, to cars to motorbikes, from buildings to scenery. I also do graphic design and have in the past designed websites and online storefronts. And for free i paint heroes, ie, soldiers who have been killed in action, or children who have died before their…

Thank you for adding how many calories etc is in it ladies!! Screenprinted the OP post and will try it this week xx

Definitely a standing ovation!! Stogie, Your daughter was right, you are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing, its helped, i have Fibromyalgia and i do struggle with exercise, but its good to see it can still be done with diet alone... Healthy clean living, i remember back to growing up, my Mum struggled with bringing up…

I needed to read that today... THANK YOU!!

Thank you for this post, i was feeling quite down today, bad news through the week made me step back into the dark feelings and its been a struggle today. I haven't dated for years now because of the weight i am, i think if i don't like seeing me naked i am sure a guy is not going to like it, so i have been put off dating…

I really would be happy if i could lose 10lb by Christmas Eve... I have joined the 20lb one but after this week not losing its going to be an up and down kind of weight loss. xx

I have noticed if i log the food the night before, then i only have to follow the day calories, rather than having extra bits and making the calories go over than the 1200 marker. If i don't log in advance it goes abit haywire!

mrfreestyle - can only see chin... so i guess 28!

Nice shoulders!

@jadethief thanks for the tip about weighing scales. A must by for me. I keep getting to the 20lb mark then putting weight back on then back to 20lb. So all advice is great help from all the posters here. X
