Mum of two back on the wagon and looking for new friends
Hi all. I'm a 28 year old married mum of two from the UK. I've always been big, but tipped the scales at 258 lb after having my first daughter in 2011. I joined MFP and lost 62 lb for my wedding day in 2013. Shortly after our wedding, I fell pregnant again and gave birth last July. I have gained back 47 lb and want to work…

Help!
So I've lost 60 lb in the last year, and feeling great. Have done diet alone in the early days and a combination of diet and exercise. Have got about 16 lb left to go, and one more jeans size to get to where I want to be. Basically my problem is my skin. I don't have big ole' loose skin like you see on The Biggest Loser or…

ONEderland! (with pics)
Hi everyone I reached a huge milestone today and had to share it with you all :smile: I bought my bathroom scales on 14th March 2012, and weighed in at 258 lb. There are almost no pictures of me at this size, because I wouldn't allow full-body shots of me. This is the closest pic I have, taken by my husband-to-be when I…

Leg and arms!
Hi everyone I've been on Fitness Pal since March 2012, and have had some success losing just over 4 stone (57 lb) so far. My weight loss has significantly slowed in recent months and I'm working on losing my last stone (14 lb) to get to my healthy goal weight, and am also using the time to focus on improving my fitness…

Upset at sudden gain - please help.
Hi everyone I appreciate that someone has probably complained about this before, but I am so confused I don't know what I need to do to get back on track and I really don't want to make things worse! :cry: Last Thursday (9 days ago) I celebrated four stone (56lb) lost. Two thirds of the way to my goal weight. I was hoping…

Biggest waste of money?
I saw a funny advert for the most ridiculous weight loss tool I have ever seen! :laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbsSeVr5NSI I was wondering what is the worst thing you have ever spent money on or seen to lose weight? For me, I am a sucker for diet pills. Even though I know they don't work, and are a complete waste…

Weight or clothes size?
Hi everyone I've been on MFP since March now and am 2lb away from hitting 4 stone (56lb) lost. I really want to get there by the end of this year so that I can put it behind me and get to work on losing the last 2 stone (28lb) to get to my goal weight. What I'd like to know is, for those of you who have met your goal or…

50lb gone (pic heavy) - My journey so far.
Hi. I'm Hazel. I'm 26 years old, engaged to be married next October and have a one year old daughter :flowerforyou: In March of this year, I was the biggest I've ever been. 258lb (18st 6lb), a size 22 (US size 20) and miserable. I didn't want to be a fat bride wearing a plus size wedding dress, my fiancé deserved a happy…

Back at work & always hungry!
Hi I started my weight loss journey in March this year as a stay-at-home mum, with my activity level set as sedentary. Last month I went back to work part time after being on maternity leave. While I was at home, I was predominantly looking after my daughter (she's ten months old now) and logging my exercise if I did…

Tall girls!
Hi girls Am looking for tall girls like me (5'10) who can show me some pics of what sort of figure to expect when I've hit my goal. I'm not trying to be super slim, just healthy for my height. I've always been overweight since a teen, so have no idea what my body *might* look like! For now, my goal is 174lb (12.5 stone),…

Wedding day successes!
Hi ladies (and gents!) I am in the process of losing weight for my wedding day next year - among other reasons. I am currently 31lb down, 53lb to go to get to my healthy goal weight in the next 15 months. I'd love to hear from brides (and grooms!) who successfully lost weight for their big day. X

31lb down, 53lb to go (with pics) :)
Hi everyone This is my first 'success' post, and I thought I'd share it after experiencing a great NSV today. As the weather is so nice in the UK at the moment, I thought I'd dig out my white linen trousers from last summer. The only problem is, they are apparently far too big now!

Bingo wings!
Hi I'm in the middle of an ongoing argument with my friend/personal trainer about my arms. I'm in the process of losing around 75lb at the moment, and I don't think my arms will ever be toned or slim. This isn't me being negative, it's because during my teens and early 20's I have gained and lost weight (large amounts) and…

Thick & thin - anybody else half of a fat/thin couple?
Hi Just wondering if anyone else on here is trying to lose weight and in a relationship with someone bigger or smaller than them? My fiancé is around 6' and weighs approx 180lb.

Any other UK girls running the Race for Life?
Hi My friend and I are running the Race for Life in July for Cancer Research UK, are there any other girls out there running? I have a minor phobia of treadmills, but am working on it, mainly due to the unreliable weather at the moment meaning I can't really go for long walks with my baby daughter in the pram! How are you…
