Um. Sounds like your parents had issues waaaaay beyond merely being fat and eating unhealthily.

There are so many gorgeous places in the uk where you can go walking/swimming. http://www.headtothehills.co.uk/events/category/wild-swimming-in-the-lake-district.html http://www.walkingbritain.co.uk/walks/walks/walk_list/Lake_District/

Congrats!!!

I have a copper iud. No hormones. Highly recommended, if you can get it/is suitable. I've not had any kids either, you don't have to have had kids already to have one. If she stops depo then she will need another form of BC, since pregnancy will certainly cause weight gain!!!

Yeah that was dumb. Even when you have lost weight there is no telling what shape you will be in. Return the dress, get it in a bigger size and budget for tailoring later on.

Hell no. I'm wearing the thing for 18 hours every day? I'm getting one that fits properly now, even if I have to buy a new one 6 months later.

Yup.

Poor quality fast food/chocolate/alcohol etc.

Get a hobby, learn a musical instrument, volunteer .... I've always had to drive everywhere so I'm used to not having alcohol when I go out with friends etc. Diet coke, soda water & fresh lime, or sparkling water are my go to drinks.

Each size down, get new clothes. Unless you have a job/lifestyle where you can look like a slob in ill fitting clothes.

About 4 weeks ish before getting gym access. I do L sits on the floor. I think I can get maybe 2 cm off the floor now! My bum is still in contact though! I'm all about the bass ;-)

Haha I say "handstands" when really I'm still on wall planks, and will be for a long time!! The wrist warmups from that routine have been helpful for me to do before my yoga class though.

Handstands, yes. Doing this routine was what actually motivated me to try to lose weight, actually. Edit: I'm doing Strong Curves at a gym now, but still do some bits from that routine, including the handstands.

People will notice (and comment) when you get new clothes.

I quite like the routine at reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness.

That's very unprofessional.

Hello people I just stopped replying to my mum's emails every time I would send a photo she would reply yo say I should diet etc. (I live on the other side of the world) (lol such a bad daughter) Bonus! Risk factor for diabetes yay (south east) Asians

Yes it does. That is literally what that word means. Do you even math?

If it is a nice compliment, just say thank you. if it is a bit backhanded, say Gosh, what a rude thing to say. And walk away!

Oh yes! I leave all my coins in the car. If I really want a chocolate from the machine, I can have one, but need to walk out to the car to get the coins first.

Sliced apple and cheese is the bestest snack. Not that low fat diet cheese rubbish. Good cheese. I have 30-40g at a time, it's a pretty decent chunk actually. Also: banana and yoghurt. I hate fat-free yoghurts so usually buy the good stuff, but I've found some types that have quite a lot of protein, so adding the banana…

It is not ok, it two wrongs don't make a right. Tell them to stop commenting on your body since it is none of their business. maybe those overweight people comment on your body because other people are always commenting on theirs. It doesn't make it ok, but you should know that people make rude comments to fat people all…

Maybe she is intending to get lucky ;-)

This is on topic, because I have £80 of salmon in my freezer!!! (Ocado was having a half off sale) http://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/dill-roasted-salmon-and-new-potatoes/ http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/roasted-salmon-potatoes-dill…

> to get sleep data I have to specifically set it when I go to bed and upon awakening. Yes that is how it is designed to work. I knew this before I bought it. Mine is one you wear on your torso, those are more accurate than the wrist worn ones. It's not magic!

Ugh I hate this too. *lots* of people judge you for running while fat. Yes, they are probably the same *kitten* holes who judge you for going to the gym While fat, eating while fat, being in public while fat and existing while fat. And sometimes, they are runners too (though they at least are mostly polite enough to not…

Make a lot of salmon? I use fresh dill if I bother at all, don't know if dried will work. Or free cycle it

Start a new thread. Panty raids are cardio, right?

> it's not a diet Yes it is. It's a diet that you have to do for as long as you wish to lose/maintain your body mass.

I'm using CICO as a label for calorie restriction by counting them. Like, with numbers, and by measuring things (also with numbers). As opposed to caloric restriction by following rules from a Diet Programme (TM)
