Two years on. Big highs, huge lows and pics.
March 9th 2011 I was sick. D&V, horrible stomach cramps that I'd never had before and no idea what had caused it. I spent all of the 9th feeling sorry for myself and wondering what I had done. I still felt pretty crap on the 10th and I decided that I'd had enough. I had no control over my body, my eating habits and really…

Day 500!
So this morning I logged in and I finally hit 500 days of logging. I'm not going to make a mahoosive speech as it's all been done before but I thought I'd share some pictures with you as that's all we want to see anyway! I started at 265lbs and I'm currently 190lbs. I know I'm not where I need to be but I'm pretty bloody…

Day 365, 67lbs and the journey to Onederland
So today is officially day 365! And what a journey it has been. I started a year ago at 265lbs, miserable and ill. I read in the Metro that someone downloaded a calorie counting app and lost 6 stone with it so I thought that it couldn’t hurt and maybe I’d lose a bit of weight. So I put all my food in, tried to do a little…

Valentine's Day dessert ideas
As a bit of a tradition, instead of going out for Valentine's I'm going to cook a 3-course meal at home but am struggling for dessert ideas! This is my first MFP Valentine's so I'm thinking soup for starter, steak and prawns with a salad for mains but not sure what to do for afters. Anyone got any great, reasonably low…

Not really new but...
I have hit a bit of a rut and want some new pals to give me the kick up the *kitten* that I need. I'm about 52lbs down since about 230 days ago which is great but the past couple of months have been a bit slow and I have goals to get to before Christmas and I just seem to be getting a bit bored and stuck. I've hurt my back…

6 months today, 42lbs lost!
So today is 6 months until I started using MFP and I wanted to share my ‘journey’ with you all! Six months (and about 2 days ago!) I felt really ill and I didn’t really know why. I had been eating crap, drinking like a fish and generally having a really bad attitude towards my health. I’d read in the Metro that a girl had…

A medical/fitness question for the ladies...
For a little while now I've been having bleeding with 'vigorous' exercising on my bike. It's not painful and not like a period but it's obviously quite annoying. I've had examinations, swabs and an ultrasound, all of which were perfectly fine apart from a small ovarian cyst (the type that pretty much everyone has at one…

An NSV and the Race For Life
So today myself and two of my friends from work tackled the 10K race for life. We walked it at the incredibly hilly and hot Western Park in Leicester and it took us 1:40, which was 20 minutes faster than I had hoped. I don't think I could have ever done this if I hadn't lost 30lbs and thar would have meant £135 less to…

Alcohol and weight loss
I did just search for an alcohol thread but it wasn't really what I was looking for so I thought I'd start my own - I just did a sneaky pre-weigh in weigh in (I normally weigh myself on a Wednesday but I couldn't resist!) and I found that I've lost 3.45lbs this week so far which is one of my biggest losses so far. I have…

A question to the long term fat suit wearers...
Do you ever wonder what you're going to look like? Seems like a weird question but I've been over weight all my life and literally can't imagine what I will look like when I reach my goals. I was thinking about it earlier and it really freaked me out that this time next year (hopefully!) the person in the mirror is going…

Your strangest NSV's...?
I was wondering, what is the weirdest NSV you've come across so far? Something you didn't even assume would happen, or happen quickly? I work in a lab all day so I'm constantly wearing latex gloves or washing my hands with evil hospital soap (I'm sure some of you know the type!) and my fingernails were AWFUL. Cracking,…

Weight loss and complacency
Hey guys and gals! New to the whole message boarding thing, been trying to lose weight for a couple of months now and am 19.5lbs the lighter for it. Very much enjoying MFP - completely addicted to my iPhone so having it on there is stupidly handy - and really think it's working for me but there's just a couple of things I…
