I think your dress is gorgeous and you look lovely. I agree that perhaps a little green eye'd monster has appeared in your so called "friend". I would ignore her. You enjoy your beautiful dress. xxx

Can't help with the walking buddy bit, but I am quite happy to support/bully you into keeping on track!!! Feel free to add me too!! Good luck. :flowerforyou:

I think that you should invest in a pedometer - that way you will have an idea of how much you actually walk!!
-
Wholeheartedly agree - eat better and eat fresh - long term you cannot maintain weight loss if you don't. Thank you.

I have an underactive thyroid and take 125mcgr of thyroxine every day - and have done for the last 6 - 7 years. I don't think anyone who is overweight can lose it easily - I know I struggled before I developed my underactive thyroid (which I am convinced I got through abusing my metabolism with diet pills years ago!!!). As…

String cheese is something that you can eat quietly and it is easy to pack, you really need to have something though - why can you not eat during such a long shift? Surely you are entitled to a break! :flowerforyou:

Knowing when to stop is hard. I too would like to hear what others have to say. I have a way to go to get to the position that you are in but I know that I will have remaining extra belly bits... Huge congratulations for getting to where you are now and good luck with maintaining (if that is what you choose!!!)…

I started with MFP in June and I cannot believe how quickly the time has passed since then! In the first week I lost 5lb. After a few weeks I got hooked on exercise too - now I am finding that my size *UK 14 trousers are far too loose. That was just in 10 weeks or so. Time will pass (far too quickly) whether you get on the…

Carrot sticks?? I love those. Also baby tomatoes - although I have a sneaking suspicion that they also have a high-ish sugar content..!! My new favourite though is a chunk of cucumber. Eat it from the chunk, like you would eat an apple. Very refreshing!!
-
You look amazing - what a change in your body shape!! Well done!
-
As a previous successful loser (weight wise) I know how scary it is to be approaching your goal. You have spent long hard weeks concentrating on LOSING so the prospect of not losing anymore is like letting go of a comforting blanket or teddy bear. What you need to remember is that you were gaining just 5 months ago, you…

I am 5'1.5, my starting weight with MFP was 172 in June. I am currently at 155 (and very proud of my progress so far!!) My goal is 135... but really it is 125. Is that possible???!!!! We'll just have to see!!
-
This is such a lovely story - you have done so well in finding the motivation to get back to caring about yourself!! Well done! I think that once we become a mum, it is hard to remember that we are worth it too!! I have set similar "later's" for myself too - once I have my 2nd baby... once I hit 40... and a similar pair of…

Amazing!! You can totally see the difference, well done and enjoy South America!
-
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: How fantastic!! You are right - that is exactly the kind of "problem" that is nice to have!! I have a pair of UK size 8 Levi's in my loft that I have not worn for over 20 years - they will probably not be worth wearing when I finally get there - but what the heck!! I just want the chance to…

Not if you want to keep it off permanently. You should only be aiming for about 2lb per week - about 1kg.
-
That is a great NSV - a huge well done to you! I hope you enjoy the banquet - remember not to go over on your calories if you can help it!! :flowerforyou:
-
:flowerforyou: Hey! You have done the right thing by stopping to ask this question now. I have had a look at your diary and you do eat well generally. My thoughts are that: 1. You should vary your breakfasts a bit more - you eat weetabix most days, your body will be used to that and needs a shake up - get some protien in…
-
Of course it is worth it!! If you decided to lose weight for you, then you did it for all the right reasons!! Your body is just busy getting rid of an accumulation of the bad foods you have been putting into it, once that cleaning process is through you will feel utterly amazing!! Open up your diary so that everyone on the…

What is or are sakatas??? I love mushed avocado anyway, or sliced, or scooped with a spoon....
-
I guess it depends on who told you the 1400?? I joined this site to follow this plan, so I have not looked at any other settings anywhere else. If you are doing ok on 1400 then you could choose to stay with that - or you could try the MFP suggestion and see how you get on?? Either way, good luck to you on your quest to…
-
I agree - you an earn yourself some breathing space by doing the exercise. Plus, once I have worked hard to earn 150 cals I really think about how I am going to spend them and eat wisely!!

Hi guys! What a lovely day it is here in the UK today - sunny, blue skies but only about 18 degrees - not nearly warm enough to take off my jumper!! I am about to start scrubbing my floors - that is my "turbo" for today. Just can't get to grips with DVD's so I have to make the most of my Wii fit, running up and down…

Thanks to Chari for setting us up and woop!! woop!! Here we are! I am a 42 year old mum of 2 boys - ages 9 and 12. I am a teacher in college and also help out at a weight watchers meeting as a clerk. My weight has been an issue for me all my life - I am the daughter of an overweight mum and food equalled love and rewards…

Goooooooooooo youuuuuuuuuuu!!! Well done!!!!

Welcome! You have certainly chosen the right place to have your "last chance" - this is a great site, a wonderful real-life plan that works and some excellent support and friends along the way!! Good luck!! :flowerforyou:
-
Don't give up!! You will get there - this website is fabulous, it really works and the members are just the best. I have found it really easy to stick to my calories - I am now on day 37 and I am amazed!! It is definitely harder to lose the weight now (I am 42) but if Dawn French can do it so can we!!!! :flowerforyou:
-
Yes - open up your diary!! Are you eating enough?? Do you drink water?? Are you exercising too much?? Don't give up - you are worth all the effort!! xxx :happy:
