Man I am so Impressed Gloria! Well done, for hanging in their and changing your life!!! I wish my daughter was as motivated as you. You go girl!!

I can totally relate to what you are saying. My hubby to loves me just the way I am. I too love cheese and crackers and wine, and really think life is too short to not eat bacon! But I know that I am not happy, I feel miserable when I catch sight of myself in a shop window, I hate seeing photo's of myself, and I hate going…

That's so funny, I thought I was weird, cause in my head I always think of myself as skinny, I too am surprised (and horrified) when I see my reflection! Sounds weird really, considering I have to face the fact every morning when I get dressed!

That is awesome! I hate spin class lol.... I walked out about 10mins into the one and only class I went to :) I have to at least partially enjoy what I am doing even if it hurts!

I must do boxing on the wii..good thinking! Where did you get your copy of the 30 day shred?

I was confused about that when I started as well. Read the links for Newbies in this topic at the top, has lots of good info. If you want to be healthy and loose weight in a sustainable way you would be best to eat some of your exercise calories back. But you will find everyone has a different opinion. Personally I would…

I have the same problem, My worst habit was night time munching when I wasn't hungry, just comfort eating. I am not sure there is a magic bullet, I still find it hard. People tell you to do things like, brush your teeth, drink water etc etc etc. For me that makes no difference, it is totally a mind thing. I have just said…

I always put lite cream cheese, a little parmesan cheese and low fat edam cheese in mine and some mustard as well. The cream cheese, Parmesan & mustard give flavour without the high cal's of full fat cheese and cream. YUM YUM I so want some now!!

well done that is awesome.... can someone please enlighten me as to what "NSV" stands for? :blushing:

Sliced four mushrooms, grated one corgette and mixed eggs with a little water and a wee sprinkle of salt. YUM! I then had about and hour later a single microwave oat sachet, sultana and apple. Filled me up until…
