I plan to keep going for another stone and a half as I was wanting to…

Advice about writing blogs
I recently wrote a blog on this site and I am pretty clueless at these things. I posted it but don't know how I 'promote' it? I never got any responses or votes which isn't an issue, but I am more just concerned I should be doing something I'm not. Do you just write the blog and post it and that's it? Anyway, if anyone is…

There goes my exercise, I've hurt my knee!
I have been a yo yo dieter for years, I would lose weight through just dieting and end up bingeing and putting it all back on again. Dieting alone has never worked for me, however through my husbands rower machine I managed to lose a stone in a couple of months and didn't even find it hard as I still allowed myself treats…

Excess skin on stomach after baby, how do I lose?
I had a 10 pound 3 oz baby last year and it has left a lot of stretched skin on my stomach. My stomach has stretched very far out and I now have a huge overhang of excess flesh. I have lost weight however my stomach has drooped even more as there is less 'fat' there to hold it up. Not only does it make me feel awful about…

I HATE the start of a weight loss plan, I am so impatient!
I used to feel more motivated and up for it at the start of all my past efforts to lose weight as it was new and I was fed up of eating junk and didn't miss it at the start as I had had a recent 'fix'. However nowadays I feel really different, at the beginning I struggle to motivate myself as I don't have anything to go on…

I have…

My progress so far
The first photo was taken of me at the start of my weight loss journey at 13 stone 12 lbs. The other photo was taken tonight at 11 stone 9 lbs. I have been using MFP for 2 weeks and lost 7 lbs in that time, which explains the ticker saying just 7 lbs. I still have another 2 stone to go so I still have quite a bit to go…
