People don't even realise they want me to fail!
I have lost weight, I look different. I look BETTER than I have for several years, I am FITTER than I have been for several years, I EAT BETTER than I have all my life and I am happier when I look in the mirror than I have been for years. SO, why is it that my friends and co workers say things like - You aren't going to…

Boobies and Bras
yay!! My new bra arrived!!! And it fits!! I am officially a 32GG and although I would have hoped for a smaller cup size with the weight loss, I have always been a boobie gal and so although I lost weight, I still kept the bazookas :blushing: .

I know that some weeks I lost nothing, and some weeks I lost more than that, but it means that in the 52 weeks I have been here, I have lost 52lb and…

Why is it so hard to say 'I'm fat'?
I have noticed that on this site, and other weightloss things, that people really do struggle to use the word FAT. We say heavy, big, large, big boned, curvy, large frame etc But lots of us find it REALLY hard to say 'I am fat'. I wonder why this is? Why do people find that word in particular so hard? What do you call…

So tell us about where you live
I was thinking about how we know so little about the world we live in, and that there are people here from all over the place. Maybe we could find out a little something about somewhere we have never been or even heard of. So lets be a tour guide for the place we live...good or bad. I live in a village on the Isle of…
