Fat people are invisible somehow.
I was just mentioning it to another MFP that I noticed in September that my weight was starting to have an affect on how people behaved around me....and also when I started to feel very self conscious. I found that if I went clubbing, whereas before I would get some attention from the opposite sex, as I got bigger, I was…

I'm starting a video blog....
Hi MFP, I'm a big fan of MFP but have really neglected the site and i know it can really help people. I decided to start a video blog of all my MFP friends and more so to encourage me to not be a lard *kitten* and really lose weight this summer. If you want to watch just click the link....the more friends I make on here…

Thinspiration: Finished traveling the world

I was the biggest fan of this website and today I weighed myself after the first time in months as I just got back from traveling South America, Australia, NZ and South East Asia yesterday.

Before and 7 months after photos
Thought it had been a while since I had posted a before and after photo but as I have lost over 60lbs now and am 12 lbs until I am classed as normal I thought I would add some on here.....Unfortunately I didn't have any length ways photos but at least hopefully you guys can still see a difference. Starting weight was…

Fell off the wagon
Hey guys, Many of you guys here will have noticed a distinct lack of activity on my part for the last few weeks.....I started my job and it means I am home very little and if I am it often is just enough time for me to have a shower and go to bed. Anyway, diet has therefore suffered a lot....I missed two of my periods and…

OMG...I can't believe he was interested in me
Right, So I am safe here to assume that many people of MFP lack confidence as being fat has that effect on your confidence and although I have lost over 60 lbs I still feel the same size. Here's my little morale boost. On Friday night we went to go for a few drinks in London with some of my best friends and we went to this…

developing OCD towards food
Hey guys, I've always been aware of food from a very young age as when I was 10 I was sent to see a dietitian over my weight problem....its means that although things didn't work in the past I was always aware of what was good and bad etc.....I never ate bad food just vast quantities as my body weight suggested....In my…

6 months just flew by
Hey, Hadn't posted in a while so I thought I would say how things were going. Today I weighed myself after being on a bit of a plateau and to my surprise the scales finally budged. Not only had I now lost just short of 56 lbs but I entered the 170's and it felt great. It spurred me on to go for a walk early in the morning…

My first binge in 6 months :(
Yesterday was a BAD day....for the first time in 6 months I had an uncontrollable desire to binge and consumed 2600 cals in that day....worst of all, I felt horrid even whilst eating yet I carried on....as soon as I finished i literally just started crying and marched upstairs to the toilet and tried to make myself sick (i…

Complete lifestyle overhaul
Yesterday I completed my final exam and that means I have completed university.....I was literally over the moon and in most cases I would probably have had a celebratory meal and go clubbing and mostly likely be stupidly drunk. However, yesterday instead I decided to walk in town which is a good 20k there and back, bought…

today is officially the best goal i've had so far. I now have a BMI of 29.9. Its feels good because i won't have the little demon in my head going ur still obese. I'm no longer the 25% of the british population that are obese. Now downwards and forwards to a healthier and happier me. Thanks MFPers for all ur support. U…

flat stomach
So yesterday I posted my before and after pics on here and was feeling good about myself so decided to go on a sunbed....yes I know its bad for me but thats not the point.....when I lay down I saw that my stomach was in fact very flat....so much so that I could see my ribs a little (yes those are my ribs in the photo not…

Before and after pictures....half way and 40 lbs down
Today I woke up....weighed myself and had dropped more weight and figured I had lost 40 lbs which is quite a lot so decided to take photo of me even though I try to avoid cameras most of the time...I was pleasantly surprise to see that I didn't look as obese as I did 4 months ago....still not perfect and a long way to go…

122 days in, 38 lbs lost and feeling positive
So today is my 122 days of this diet and I felt like blogging my success to try and reassure myself as I have highs and lows. When I started out, the concept that I had to lose 76 lbs to be classed as "normal".....I won't lie, it was daunting, but I felt that enough was enough....I knew that in the next 12 months I was…

QUESTION FOR WOMEN ABOUT TOM
Hey guys, I started my period today but it is over a week early and the other month it also came too early.....I don't know if any of you guys have experienced anything similar.....I can only assume its because I have 1200 cals a day but I just wanted to know if this is normal? x

Parental concern
So, in September 2009, my mother was very concerned that I was way to fat and had been trying to talk to hospitals about weightloss regimes behind my back....when I found out I was furious....I literally packed my bag and didn't come home for a week...point was, she was very concerned (I know she had a right to this).…

Losing weight isn't harder than gaining it
Throughout the last 3 months I'm very proud of how far I have come....today I went to the park to do some revision wearing a skirt and tank top and felt comfortable in my body....I walked around and was embracing this confidence that I am regaining....Its then it dawned on me that the weight I had gained over 4 years had…

mother trouble
Well, I just returned to my flat now after a weekend at my parents and as some of you know I had an awesome easter day as I didn't overindulge and stayed at it. However, on the Monday, my mum surprised us by returning home from work early so I hadn't been expecting to see her....I thought oh brilliant, she'll be happy to…

Best Easter ever
So for those of u who know me I said I was returning home for the first time home in 3 months and I was very anxious to see if my parents noticed a difference as I hadn't told them I was on a diet. Well, when I arrived at the train station my dad literally stood there with his jaw open wide going bloody hell how much…

inaccurate self image
I was just curious how people perceived their sizes when they were at their largest. When I was my biggest, what I saw in the mirror definitely didn't look they way I looked in photos. Whilst when I was skinny, I thought I was heavier....I was just curious if any other people felt the same when they looked at photos going…

PIZZA vs. WEIGHTLOSS
So yesterday was a hard day. In the evening all I wanted to do was order a pizza, although it had been the first day I craved junk in 3 months but I opted for carrot sticks. My mentality was that I could eat half a pizza BUT I would feel like a failure and what is better....a few minutes of tasty junk (that would probably…

Excess skin
I was curious if any of you guys were experiencing a problem with excess skin as I am terrified that I might struggle. My only vice is that I am young and have about 70 lbs to lose but I wanted to hear some first hand experience. Thanks guys x

Right today is the first day I am home alone in literally months but my flatmates have gone home for easter but I thought I would get done at uni then going home for easter. However, due to my nature, I want my flat mates to see a difference for the 4 weeks that I wont see them. My weight loss has been slow to say the…

pre-work out food?
I have got into a habit of trying to go for a jog first thing in the morning but on some days I feel very tired and run down afterwards and I assume its because I am not putting enough fuel into my body to work out. Could you guys give me a variety of things I could eat that will give me energy but wont make me get stomach…

weight gain
I weighed myself and to my shock I had gained 2 lbs over night which can be disheartening. I was within my calorie range but I did have bacon for the first time in 3 months and altho I trimmed the fat off I assume there maybe a lot of sodium in bacon so just wanted to ask if you might agree me and think it made me hold…
