So the only people saying it's your physical appearance are YOU and shallow people with ugly souls you don't care about anyway and still won't care about when you're fit? And somehow that means everyone thinks that way about you? Girl, you need a slap in the face and a reality check. The people who judge you on your…

Hello and welcome to MFP! Congratulations on your wedding, I hope it all goes to plan! We got married in September and trying to loose weight became a nightmare in those last few months, I gained back everything I lost and am back here starting again, I hope you have more luck than I did. LOL Feel free to add me if you…

I met my husband on there, but not before I'd encountered my fair share of wierdos

Dress size in the UK is not standardized, it is not meant to be, nor are there any plans to standardize it. However, rule of thumb is, expensive shops give vanity sizing, high street shops tend to be somewhere in the same vacinity as each other, and independant shops are like woah... Which is why at my best I could get…

I eat the same things I always have, but control the portions. Once you can control portions you can be consistant.

I have coffee...I stopped having breakfast in Junior school, and it' never effected me negatively (125lb, 5'10" until I met my husband and I stopped excercising and started eating take-away hence my diet...)

I offer to help out with the cooking...that way I cn weigh it, otherwise I guess and leave room for error...

Feel free to add me ^_^

My sister shrank from a size 22 to a size 14 in about 8 months just through walking and eating even more crap than usual. Of course, her walking was all up VERY steep hills and she tends to do it for like 3hours a day walking from one town to the next with the dog to tend to the horses... And she does not have a fast…

25 here and I gained practically all my weight from moving in with my husband >_< Stopped excercising and started eating take-aways >_< Bad combo lol I was underweight in education, slightly overweight now, trying to work towards a middle ground lol...

Take your measurements with your stomach in it's normal position. If you are always sucking it in, take that, if you just let it go for the most part, take that. I take my measurements relaxed because that's how my stomach usually is :P

That's why you're not seeing any loss...you should never eat less than 1200. If you're eating 500cals a day then you are starving yourself. Going over your target once in a blue moon is better than eating only 500cals for a few days before to average it out.

Hello and welcome David!

Black coffee tends to have maybe 1 calorie in it? The cals come from milk... How many calories are you consuming? It sounds like you might be consuming too few? If so that could explain why you're not seeing a loss...

Anything from same day to two weeks, depending on the banks...

Interesting question. I want to say that yes, it is possible for guys to have female friends without crushing over them but...than I thought about it. I've always been one of the guys, practically all of my friends are male (There's only one real exception) and...out of all of them, through all the years, Only one has…

I turn around, smile sweetly at them and respond with "You have gained a fair bit recently, have you thought about dieting?" Continue to smile sweetly and watch as they stop fishing for compliments, turn on you and start ranting, then shrug and respond with the fact that they brought it up. You wouldn't have said anything…

I have changed my start weight twice. The first time was when I first started. I weighed myself and put that weight, then I weighed myself every day for the following week, worked out the average and put that weight as my start weight instead, just to allow for fluke measurements. I didn't want to think i'd lost when I…

Never heard of these! Think I'm going to have to investigate for the other half.

Great loss!!!

I'm going to differ from the general consensus..Don't eat. If you can restrain yourself and not eat, you'll feel better for it in the morning. I strongly suspect this late night "I'm hungry" pangs after you're eaten well during the day is simply your body acting like a two year old "But I usually have more than this" it…

I was like that last night, in the end I ut went to bed and lay there miserable until I fell asleep *sigh*

Anything that gets you moving and get your heart rate up helps with weight loss. Yes the wii does that. Yes the wii helps. However it is not particularly effective. It's a fun activity that will get you moving, but if you're looking to make a dramatic impact then it's not really going to do it for you.

eating under 1200 cals a day is unhealthy and dangerous. As that's your week one challenge I must thusly deduce that you are an idiot and your group is likely to contain more idiots, so no. I don't think I will join it, or add you.

You're welcome, glad I didn't offend. Jut done an hour of zumba and for some reason sweating and panting seems to turn off my niceness filter and I just type as I think which can come off the wrong way sometimes lol. But I really do wish you all the bet with this, you can do it if you stick to your guns. It might take a…

Well done on your weight loss! Keep up the good work!

Cutting down to 1200 right off the bat may be the wrong thing to do, it's a big change from the ammount you're used to and that ammount of weight won't come off in a few weeks. So chances are you'll either give up because you're that hungry and not seeing results or you get used to 1200 really fast, still don't see the…

Congrats on your lovely baby boy! Feel free to add me for some encouragement!

Click on random people in your friends list and check on them that way, much more long winded, but works lol It's what I'm doing :P
