But what is the alternative? If you don't watch your weight, no one will do it for you. Are you prepared to gain weight every year for the rest of your life because you 'can't be bothered' to try? And usually when people say they don't want to count calories and watch what they eat, this is exactly why they get fattter and…

It's like our own little club, the coffee addicts! I never intend to give up coffee, I probably drink about 6 cups a day. With 1% fat milk it's about 49 calories a cup (bummer, think of what I could eat for 300 calories a day). I recently discovered Almond Milk which I find more than halves the amount of calories (also fat…

Couldn't agree more!! With friends like that who needs an enemy!!

I'm doing TDEE-20% and have been for about 8 weeks now. I'm steadily losing my predicted loss of 0.9lb per week (sometimes more, never less) and am very happy with this, and I know I can maintain this without feeling hungry. I do however eat my exercise calories back, and set my Activity level to Sedintary to get my TDEE,…

Your progress is amazing. Well done, especially on the running, that's amazing 28 minutes! Look forward to seeing your update next year, or probably sooner at the rate you are going! :0)) x

That is so cute! You look lovely, and I love that dress! Congrats on your success and enjoy your date! :0)) Also this is a reminder to all of us that it doesn't matter if we have a little or a lot to lose, we are all the same, we all want to feel good about ourselves. x

A great inspirational story, and you look amazing. Congratulations on your impending wedding, and may motherhood bring you all the joys it has brought me. Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations for giving up smoking. I did this too, after making excuses for years that I was already too fat and didn't want to gain more weight. So I decided I better do both together, and guess what, slowly but surely it's working!! I totally agree with so many posts that I see saying, stop obsessing over the scale!!…

I'm blonde - NOT Thick I'm an accountant - Not boring I'm from Derby (UK) - I Don't speak like the Queen I love Heavy Metal - you wouldn't know that to look at me. I like this game - What? A boring blonde, Heavy Metal listening Queens English speaking accountant likes games?? Surely not!! :0))

Truly inspirational, and hot too! Will definitely be reading your blog, you had mee hooked to your story. x

That's great, well done :0))

Quote from MFERN123: "The benefit of starting a little high (which admittedly this does) is that all diets whether you do low calorie or higher have an adaptive component. Your body craves homeostasis. Part of this is a function of loss of body weight, part is due to the suitability of calorie deficits. Therefore if you…

^^^^ What she said! You are a fighter, believe in yourself, we can all do whatever the hell we want, when we put our minds to it!! :0))))) xx

I think even though we are all the same height we all still have different body types. And we are all starting from different points, and we are all different ages, all of these factors make a difference. I would say aim to be a healthy BMI, and then judge the rest by how you feel about yourself/your appearance. My Start…

We should all 'watch' this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POdzasJklxw And do this: Laughter, good for the soul!! :0)) Thanks for the interesting thread, and having a sense of humour! :o))

Hello my fellow vertically challenged Apple's! I am more than qualified to join this group! :0)) Sorry no photo's yet (only 8lb in to a 58lb loss quest). but if anyone does have any, that would be great. I find that everything else starts to shrink first, which in turn makes my stomach look even bigger! Keep saying I'm…

Oh my! I lost my head, but need to lose an elephants penis!!!! :0)))

Great Hall

LMAO!!!! Great!! :0))

Wow, what a transformation, you look amazing! Well done. :0)

What they said ^^^ :0))

Definitley get a set. Mine weighs in grammes, ml and lb's, and you can press the reset button and just keep adding more ingredients in the same bowl! Love them, and they were under £10. It has made me realise how massively wrong you can get it! Cheese is the best example i can give, Grate a bit of cheese, about 25 grammes…

Nice to see some good old British humour! I'm what you call a fair weather biker, so I only go out riding about twice a year! :0)) Feel free to add me anyone.

A good read, and very true. Been making excuses about my weight gain/loss/gain/loss for years. Finally eating to live and enjoying it, not living to eat and hating myself! :0)

Hiya I have lost 7lb since 7th January. Whats been the most important lesson to me is how to eat 'properly' to lose weight and change my lifestyle for good. I am aiming to lose 1lb per week, so should be near my goal come Christmas! :0)

What a truly amazing, emotional and inspirational story. Thank you so much for sharing. And your so right, we have to do it for ourselves.

Wow, what restraint, I couldn't do it, once a week kills me!! Great result, you must be very happy. x
