I'm from the UK :) Feel free to add me, moral support all the way! lol

Me too, and I could use all the moral support I can get! I did amazingly well over last summer, got to Christmas, and managed to put 11lbs back on - dammit. I have to lose at least 30lbs by end of March to get onto a drug trial, so count me IN!

5'8", very small in the middle, and much bigger round the butt and bust :( and :) lol Happy to provide encouragement if you want to add me! Good luck on your journey :) xx

I'd choose the Cheeselets - way less sodium and fat, and it's better to get more of your calories from carbs rather than fat. HOWEVER! You did say it's your treat night, so if choosing one would make you feel like you missed out on the other one, then have both and take a brisk 30 min walk to the shop to buy them :) Enjoy…

Maybe you could stop when you feel right? You will know if your body feels as though there is more fat to lose - and you already know it's unhealthy to carry too much of it. It's good that your friends feels she can be honest with you, but really you have to do what is right for you. Has anyone else mentioned you might…

Oh me too! It's sort of reassuring to know I'm not the only one :) I have PCOS and endometriosis, which mean that without losing weight, it's unlikely that I would conceive (and it's funny how every one has a miracle story....). Also PCOS can cause you to carb-load, which makes the PCOS worse, which makes you eat even more…

You can eat the extra calories :) You don't have to eat all of them if you don't want to, but try to stay above your base metabolic rate. Good luck!

Same here, the app led on to using the website, and now I can't stop using either of them! Good luck with your journey :) xx

Hear hear re: pregnancy as an excuse! I remember those days, and it's so sad that I'm almost missing them just for the food :S Well done on all you've lost so far and good luck for the rest :)

Hello there, this sounds like the way I used to feel & behave. For me the turning point was the first bit of good news, and I had to make my goals smaller to get to them. I was a 'celebratory/commiseratory/bored/happy/procrastinator/in-lieu-of-any-other-activity' eater..... didn't need any reason to eat, and had no idea of…

Well done, you look fantastic! Much younger in the after pics too xxx

Bump - great idea!

Hi there - we normally use a lime dressing made from a small spoon of olive oil, the juice of half a lime, pepper and ground ginger. You can switch out the lime & ginger and use lemon and garlic - both are good! Also chillis work in both. The oil just gives it that saucy consistency, so I use only a small spoonful no…
