Want some support?
With permission from the wonderful admin, I thought it would be a good idea to gauge interest in how many people would be interested in being part of a little support family. It would comprise of a list, and anybody who needs a bit of advice or support or just has any questions they don't want to ask publicly, can contact…

Getting back to it after grief?
Hey guys, I don't know how many of you know me but for about 6-7 months I was a pretty regular fixture on my boards and my success story is floating around somewhere! A bit of background, over the past 1 and 1/2 years I've lost close to 80lbs and was dead chuffed. I got into a routine of running 4-6 days a week and eating…

First Bikini Ever!
Okay so I am terrified about posting this! I have never, ever worn a bikini in my life before. I've always been absolutely petrified of my stretch marks (which although now silvery-white, are still pretty visible IRL) and my hips and boob slippage but I braved it and bought myself one! Still not feeling up to heading to…

Upped my calories and upped my weight!
Okay, so following good advice from the forums, for the past month I've been trying to up my net calories to around 1300-1400 (not masses but previously I was netting in the 900's-1200's and had been at a plateau for 3 months) well, I can say my plateau has been broken, just in the wrong way, and now I'm up 6lbs. I…

Post-Binge Hugs?
I've had the crappiest day today. My depression leeched all the life out of me and I've spent the majority of the day curled up either a) asleep or b) in tears. I upped my calories last Sunday and have since gained back 3lbs and this evening for the first time in MONTHS, I had a 'proper' binge. Not a candy bar or bag of…

Weight gain in eating BMR. Help?
Okay, to cut a long story short - for a period of 5-6 months when my EDnos was at its peak, I was eating about 600 calories a day, since Novemberish I've been eating 1000-1200 daily. Since Decemberish I've been stuck at 132-136lbs. To break the plateau I followed the advice of people on the board and for the past week have…

Overcoming a Stall
Okay, okay, confession time. I've been in the 133-135 range for about 6 weeks now and I am sick of it. I've so far on MFP lost about 70lbs and I want to lose another 10ish but no matter what I do, it doesn't drop off. I eat more, I gain wait (anything above 1300 I seem to gain?), I go under my calories for a day or two, I…

5'8 Goals?
Just wondering what any other ladies goals are at 5'8? I'm currently 133 as of this morning but am still not happy and am aiming down towards 120-125 but I don't know if that would be too small for me. I started at 220+. Just curious as to where you all are/aiming!

It's not all about the body! (Pictures)
Just found a face comparison I did and decided to snap a new one to add onto the end of it! Anybody have any face comparisons to add? I'm 5'8 - starting MFP weight 202-133 Excuse the lack of make-up! Now lets see yours!

Protein in a veggie diet?
I'm going to start working on dropping my bodyfat percentage and to do so I know I need to do more cardio but also up my protein/calories in general and start lifting heavier. I barely struggle to make 50g of Protein a day! Any help with meals to bump that up?!

Skinny Jeans NSV!
I was brave. Two months ago I bought my first pair of jeans in 4 years W28-L34 and they fit like a glove. They were boyfriend jeans so I thought that they only fit because of the slouch factor. But on payday this month I thought I'd splurge on myself and get myself some 'goal' jeans. Topshop's Superskinny Kirsten High…

The difference 12lbs and Yoga can make!
So for weeks now I've felt like I'm burning out. I'm losing 1-2lbs a week usually and am 9lbs from my goal yet I felt that I looked exactly the same...until I took some pictures! 1. I'm 146lbs 24th September. 2. I'm 134lbs today, 12 weeks and 12lbs down, 68lbs down total. I'm 5'8 for reference!

Running and Lower Ab Cramps
Okay, so admittedly I haven't been running for long (3 months) but for the past 2 of those months, I have been getting absolutely HORRIFIC lower ab cramps. I passed out on the treadmill, the last time. I've vomited they are so strong and most times I'm reduced to lying on the floor of my gym. Sound dramatic? It is! They're…

AS/A-Level/GCSE Results
Sorry if there is a thread already out there about this. Tomorrow is AS/A-Level results and I'm feeling pretty bloody terrified for my AS'! Is anybody else in the same boat? We don't get ours until 11 so have all morning to wait! Argh!

Just found old images (Pics)
I am disgusted. The before pictures were taken in February 2010, the after pictures were taken today. That's what? 18 months? Not even two years! How could I ever let myself get so big and more importantly, I am so proud I'm changing myself. I was a teenager and hating my body and before I looked at these I saw no…

Depression and Weightloss
About four years ago I was diagnosed with Depression and Borderline Personality Disorder. At the moment, I am in a very clear low and am struggling a lot in trying to fight my way back out of it. I won't go into vivid details but exercise and eating right are taking a backroad for me - today, I tried to catch up the two…

Skin Issues!
So, I recently - in the last week or so, switched up my food intake to include a lot more fruit and veg. I was eating almost none before and instead just cutting calories, but now I am having at least 5 portions a day but my skin has gotten so much worse! Spots and blemishes galore! As well as that, I get pounding…

Over On Sugar
After posting another topic about blemishes and breakouts I was getting, and after suggestions on it could be the amount of sugar I'm consuming, I changed my diary settings and low and behold, I was over by -30 on somedays! EVERY DAY I am in the negative for sugar - I foolishly thought I could snack on fruit with no…

Dropped 5 dress sizes in 8 months!
It's been a long old road to get here, and It's taken perseverance and hard work (and a lot of tears) but I never thought I'd do this. I had tried since I was 13 to slim down and NEVER succeeded. It is partly why I still don't see myself as slim, even now. I'm not finished on this journey, ideally I'd like to drop another…

Vanity Sizing?
Irritates me. I am currently in the region of 34-26-36 and a UK 10 and the amount of people I've had from the US say that I'm a US 10 or 12 is ridiculous! According to my measurements, I would be a standardized US 6 (34.5-26.5-37.5) So why do people INSIST on saying a UK size 10 IS DEFINITELY WITH NO MARGIN FOR ERROR a US…

Your Routine!
Colour me intrigued but I'm interested to see your routine day-to-day for losing weight! For me, personally, I have to stick to a very regimented routine (although after 9 months of losing weight, it's become just habit.) Anybody else stick to a routine? Mine goes something like this - 8.30AM - Wake up, shower 9.00AM -…

Hiya!
Heylo! I'm an 18 year old girl on the road to weightloss! I'm 5ft 7" and started at 202lbs in November 2010 and am somewhere in the region of 145-150 (my scale is broken!) I am aiming for a nice, healthy, toned 130lbs. Hope I can achieve it with support! I have been a binge eater all my life - a whole pizza, chips, garlic…
