Struggling with maintenance - still!
Mr Will Power, where have you gone? At one time you and me were so tight; we had such a good relationship and were strong together. Now you are gone and only appear fleetingly in my peripheral vision. Please come back - I need you!

What do I do at day 1000...
Hi Today is day 911. I am aiming for day 1000, but I am not sure if I am gonna be able to stop! Logging has become part of my life now, and I still weigh almost everything as I know my portion control by eye is 'generous' even now. Is this necessarily a bad thing!!!

Mince pies, mince pies, celebrations & heros...... EVERYWHERE. Sob.

One Year Here (with some pics :) )
Well, its a year since I first logged into MFP and wondered how this was going to help me in my never ending battle of the bulge. I have struggled with my weight all my life - my parents tell me I was put on my first diet when I was one year old!!! 9 years ago I weighed just over 19 stone after divorce and comfort eating…

Goal Line Dilemma
I shrieked like a little girly in the bathroom this morning as that last pesky pound finally disappeared, and I saw a number on the scale that I have not seen since before my children were born (my oldest is 25!). My goal was 12 stone (168lb) and this morning I weigh 11 stone 13.5lb! I should indeed be ecstatic - so what…

Couldn't resist :)

Got there!
Guys, before you all tell me that BMI is rubbish and its just a number - yes I know. But if you have never been morbidly obese you can never know how GOOD THIS FEELS!!!!! Now just 1.5lbs to go until goal...... something that seemed so far away is so nearly in grasp..... and I feel good about my achievements - though as a…

One Year On!
It’s a year today that I stood on the scales and realised that I needed to take a hold of my willpower and sort out my lifestyle. Not that it was particularly bad; I don’t smoke, drink very little alcohol and ate quite healthy food – but rather too much of it! The scales tipped at 16 st 10.5lbs – and that was the heaviest…
-
Maintenance!
I have decided to go for a month of maintenance due to personal circumstances - I will then go for the 5lb left (hopefully not more!) to my goal when it is finished. My calorie level was 1410 before maintenance; its 1900 now. What's the problem I hear you ask - well it's simple - I cannot eat all the calories on…
-
Decision Time
Met my goal with an extra pound. Now what to do - maintain for a while (to see if I can!) as I have lost just over 3st since July, or to keep going and see if I can lose another stone before the year is up? Both options have their attractions, but I am leaning to continuing.

Just 'overweight' :D
After many years of being in the obese section of the BMI chart (indeed 10 years ago being 'morbidly obese - what a lovely term!), today I am officially just overweight!! I AM RATHER HAPPY!! Thank you MFP for making this weight the easiest ever to lose - no faddy diets that make you starving, no 'can't eat this, can't eat…
