I wouldn't be surprised if they killed a contestant one day.

25, UK, almost 2 stone lost with another to go! Feel free to add me :)

There's some suggestions that it makes you more receptive to sugar and so more likely to put on weight and that the sweeteners are the devil etc etc etc. I drink it. It tastes nice. I've lost weight. *shrug*

As someone who has about a million stretchmarks (genetics, I guess), time is the best healer. Getting some sun seems to help speed it up a bit but don't burn yourself, just a light tan.

Lands End are pricey but usually have different leg lengths.

Thanks! Now I just need an excuse to wear it!

Some people like to have a "fat friend". Makes them feel better about themselves.

If you're watching what you eat and exercising and the weight isn't coming off as expected it's not something that may or may not be controlling your appetite that's the problem. It doesn't make you gain it makes you want to eat more, so control that desire to eat more.

Oily fish, olive oil.

Note to say I haven't actually tried it but from the name I'd guess it's good. ;)

Blogilates has a video called Inner Thigh Insanity found for free on youtube.

I put on a load of weight on 40mg of citalopram. It increased my appetite like woah. I'm on 100mg of sertraline at the moment and my appetite isn't crazy any more and I'm slowly losing weight but I can tell my metabolism has slowed down.

American chocolate is DISGUUUUSTING. Stay where you are. ;)

Oh and I just noticed we're the same age, awesome.

I'm about 5`0 and a half! I don't have as much to lose as you though, I'd like to get about 20lbs off optimally but I'd be happy with 7 - 15 off. Good luck!

You look great! And I like what you did with your hair too, I wouldn't recognise you!

Perhaps you've reached a plateau with running so you don't burn as much doing it, try some different exercise for a while?

We went to school together from 11 to 15 but didn't know each other well, got back in touch via Facebook and took it from there. We're now 22 and 23 and have been in a relationship together for over 3 years.

You look incredible! And I love your green hair.

Try eating things like oats, they're slow to release energy and really filling.

You look amazing! Well done!

Would spending a few weeks on maintenance level (so more calories) be helpful? You wouldn't gain but it would be a lot more flexible in terms of how much you could eat.

I lol'd.

Yes, I log it before I eat, that way I can see if I need to make any adjustments to what I'm having. I don't have a phone that can use the app (and any phone without wifi would get no signal at my house anyway) but my boyfriend has an iphone and he let me install the app on it so when I'm with him I use that. I miss it!

Stress can also cause hair loss.

It's a good point. I've been allowing myself a single square of dark chocolate (85% cocoa solids, apparently it's good for you!) a day. It's only 30 calories or so and it's way better than if I went crazy and ate the whole block in one go - 539 calories! Plus I have problems with depression and some studies say a bit of…
