Introduce yourself
I have moved around the US south over the last 20 years, and not a day goes by that I am not homesick. I was a nurse in the UK, but had a career change when I moved to the US. I am a graphic/interior designer, so work from home. I am married to a scientist (biology, geology, palaeontology (fossil scientist), zoologist),…

Clothing Swap Groups
I like many of you have gone through numerous sizing changes, and have given stacks of clothing to Goodwill and the like. Buying clothes every few weeks is expensive, and many people just can't afford to replace clothing frequently, and in some cases not at all. I think that in some rare cases, it could stall people in…

98 Inches GONE
Day 227 When I start a post off like that, I feel like I am Sir Edmund Hillary writing in his journal on the first climb to the summit of Mount Everest. I guess in a way, it is kind of like that journey. We start off on flatter ground, where we can keep up a decent pace, then as time goes by, it gets steeper as we get…

Toxic Parents...don't believe what you are told
All my life, I have been told I was "fat", by my MOTHER. Yes, the one person who should love you unconditionally, told me that I was fat, despite not actually being overweight. I am 5' 2", and up until a few years ago, I was 36-24-36, and weighed around 119 - 124, apart from a time when I was so depressed, I dropped to…

Need Smaller Clothes?
The "Clothing Swap" Group http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/8751-clothing-swap here on MFP, was created to try to pass on clothes that people have slimmed out of, to people who are in need of some clothes whilst in "transition". As we all know, replacing clothing can be quite expensive, when you are buying it every…

Make someone happy!
Do you have clothes that you have slimmed out of? Why not help someone who is in transition? Replacing clothes along your weight loss journey is costly, and some people really can't afford it. This could make the difference between continuing on the journey or giving up, because if "my clothes don't fit, and I can't afford…

Ladies.... Support
Literally! You won't believe what a well fitted bra will do for your morale, confidence, and shape. You really do look a lot slimmer. Over 80% of women wear the wrong size bra. A lot of women believe that because they were a 36B most of their life they are a 36B now. Some women don't want to hear that they are not actually…

I will leave my body to medical science

You Have Entered.... The Twilight Zone.
So... here I am, day 116, sitting drinking a green smoothie. Now, how many of my friends would have heard those words come out of my mouth 5 months ago? To bring you up to speed, for those of you who haven't read my blog postings. I started my journey on MFP 31st of March this year. I injured my knee pretty badly, and…

Day 70... 20 Pounds and 56 Inches GONE!
Day 70... 20 Pounds and 56 Inches GONE! All my life, my mother called me "fat", not something a young girl wants to hear from the one person who SHOULD love you unconditionally. I was NOT fat as a child, but was not aware of that at the time. There is a photograph of me on my blog, you decide if I was overweight at 16…
