I'm looking forward to a glass of red wine tomorrow evening, first one since New Years Eve. I have bought quite a pricey bottle to savour. I can see hubby and me changing our habits in the future. I have lost half a stone in January, so a great jump start to my weight loss, which has stalled over the past year. I have…

Two weekends done, got through it so far drinking sparkling water and fruit tea, lost 3lbs and saved a fair bit of money. The weekends are the worst, but I feel very positive about it. The only thing I wish I'd done was take a close up picture of my face (skin) to see if there was any improvement after a month.

I'm going for it this year, but the Fridays and Saturdays will be hardest for me too, that's my wind down time! And, as luck would have it, there are 5 weekends this month! Looking forward to the extra weight loss, better sleep, and maybe saving some money. Good luck to anyone giving it a try.

Thank you for sharing, very inspirational.

I have big calves and they have not changed in size since I lost weight (one 16" and the other 16.5",. I would love to wear high boots but it's not an option. My weight loss has been from the top down, so I live in hope that one day the will shrink a little. The big positive I have seen is that now that they are toned they…

I love this, I'm a big fan of calculators and numbers.

I lost it from the top down, starting with my face and neck. Now I can tell there is little more to be lost from my top half, but still a fair way to go from the tummy down. Gutted about my boobs though, but it's amazing what a good bra can do.

Bump - for motivation when I need it.

My clothes got looser, my work colleagues noticed, and my secret was out!

Coffee, everything else ends up being disappointing.

Every Wednesday is cake day at my work. I love cake. Any cake. I skip breakfast on a Wednesday so I can have cake. IMO if you deprive yourself of something you love you are more likely to fail. I think my weight loss would have been faster if I had skipped cake, but I wouldn't have been so happy. If you really enjoy it,…

I have gained about 6 or 7lbs over the past two weeks. I started logging again today (I gave myself a guilt free fortnight off), I expect to lose it in about the same length of time as normal eating resumes, then I will be back on the slow and steady journey to the finish line.

Congratulations on what you have achieved so far. I look in the mirror and don't see a difference because my brain is slow at catching up with the scale. Then I look at my clothes and realise that almost everything is new and I am wearing clothes that I wouldn't have considered possible a year ago.

I've changed. I feel more sexy. I don't care if anyone sees me reading food labels. I look at myself more in the mirror. I feel the cold. I beg to have my picture taken. I am more confident. I love clothes shopping. I am a very different person to the one I was a little under a year ago.

For the first time ever this year, I didn't make a New Years Resolution to diet. I logged on to MFP on the 6th January after reading a newspaper article which recommended it, I joined a gym on the 7th January (special offer!) and suddenly it all happened and felt right. And I'm still not dieting.

Homemade pizza, using naan bread as a base, topped with mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, olives, a little salami and finished with goats cheese. Served with a glass of red wine. I worked extra hard in the gym to earn this.

Top advice! I would love a tattoo, seeing this has really made me laugh, and a little scared!

Congratulations to you and your wife, and what a terrific example you are setting for your children.

One of my photos is me carrying a 15kg bag of dog food at around the time I had lost that amount. A real eye opener! I would seriously recommend everyone tries this. Now off to find a bag of water softener salt....... Just remembered I've lost more than 40lbs.

I didn't realise it would cost so much to constantly be replacing items in my wardrobe! I generally buy key pieces on ebay (and I sell my bigger stuff on there too) and pick up t-shirts in the cheaper stores. My underwear can wait, no one sees that!
-
Oh dear! I've never heard of this, and I have a lovely red dress for my sisters wedding in three weeks time. She is wearing white, a colour I would not DREAM of wearing to a wedding, but I thought I would be OK with red. I wouldn't want to wear black either. She knows and hasn't said anything so I guess it'll be OK. My mum…

Such an interesting subject! We ate balanced meals, even on a budget. Much more of our food was home cooked, and although sausages and fish fingers featured, they were always served with vegetables. I don't remember ever cooking with my mum but maybe that's because I never wanted to. She did always say if you can read (a…

As soon as something is too big for me it goes to charity, textile recycling or eBay. To keep costs down I am buying from eBay and charity shops as I can't afford to replace everything new! am ruthless about it, even if something has been a 'favourite' if it doesn't fit I don't want to keep it. There is no looking back, I…

I would have been a lot closer to my goal if I didn't eat cheese, but I wouldn't be as happy

In the past I wanted to know this answer as well and there is no accurate answer. I found that different stores measure differently! M and S I am still a 14, Next I am a 12. Some of my size 16 clothes still look OK as well. I am 5ft5 like you, and 147lbs.
