Thanks everyone. I put in my stats and it gave me 1200 cals but I just changed it myself to 1500. I'm going to give it a try for a week as suggested and see what happens :smile:

Yes, that's what I'm going to do I think. It's all psychological......just knowing I have those extra is enough that I probably won't eat them anyway!! Lol Thanks

Thanks everyone for your replies. Lots of tips and advice very much appreciated :smile:

Thanks, just Googled it and definitely worth a try! :smile:

Thankyou all for the replies. I'm going to take your advice and wait for the appointment. Think I'll just use the pool until then.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Tbh....I'm not diagnosed. I tend to just get on with it as I'm waiting for an appointment which they've cancelled twice! I just don't want it to get in the way of any progress. I'm joining the gym today and want it to be a worthwhile investment

Chester! :smile:

Hi, day one for me. Also from the UK. Any adds would be appreciated :smiley:

Thats the strange think lots of people say i'm looking better and they notice the change. i think its just me that can't tell and i'm not worried about what others think just how i see myself!! oh well i'm sure another 14lbs will make the difference. xx

Thanx everyone for the input. my OH says its all in my head but i'm not sure! i am still carrying on though. its a way of life now to eat better and make better choices that snot to say i don't go over my cals every now and then, but i always get back on the next day.

Me too hun!! Anice dose of patience would be good i think. What cals etc are you on? x

oh, and i try not to eat my exercise cals either or if i do only half of them! x

Thanx for everyone's comments. i'm on 1330 cals a day, i exercise everyday at least 45mins mostly cardio. i drink water all day except for the odd coffee i find that i'm so paranoid about logging my cals to few that i probably over estimate each food so i'm sure i won't go over...maybe this is the problem , maybe i'm not…

If you have an iphone get the app, its saved me soooo much time as my phone is always on me, and i don't have to keep getting on the laptop. x

Well done with the weight loss to date. This is a fantastic site and with the tools and support you'll definitely loss those pounds...it must be good as this is the longest i've ever stuck to a diet and actually enjoy it, it puts you in control, i decide when and what i eat as long as it adds to my total calories so in…

unfortunately...and i'm gutted too!! the older we get the less elasticity the skin has( and i think having had children doesn't help) so if there is a lot of excess skin the only way (after toning as much as possible) is surgery to remove the excess!

i've been doin mostly high impact aerobics, swimming and small hand held weights, but i've gone from doing not much exercising to exercising everyday i've tried to incorporate some swimming too. What workouts have you been doing? i don't have a lot of time as i have 4 children under 12 including twins who are nearly 2 but…

40lbs??!! How did you manage to keep your motivation up and how long did it take for you to lose that amount?? you must have the most amazing will power. x

Thanx to eveyone for their replies. I am currently supposed to be having 1330 calories per day, i've also just done my BMR calculation and that was 2298 so what i'm eating is nearly 1000 calories less than to maintain but i'm exercising everyday mostly cardio and small weights i very rarely eat all of my calories just…

Hi, i'm also from the uk..Liverpool. It's nice to see other uker's. I've been on here for a week and lost 7lbs since last tuesday (which i can't believe) i found it through the app on the iphone and am really excited about it, i think this might actually work this time now that i'm so motivated. I just wanted to wish…

I know exactly what your talking about hun, i cut out all drink in the last 2 weeks i'm actually surprised on how easy it's been. I smoke too and i'm on a smoking cessation programme on one of he apps for the iphone and it's really working. I've found that throwing myself wholly into my healthy eating and weight loss makes…

Hi, I totally agree, i found the app first on the free apps for fitness and health, wish i could access the forums on there too though, but, hey....i'm not complaining i'm so happy with it, like i said it's made things so much easier. Good luck with your weight loss journey. :happy: Julie

Thanx for your reply, yes, i'm sure it is water weight, but i'm glad that it happens in the first weeks at least it will give me some motivation to keep going. :happy:
