I bought some raw coconut oil and have been using that, I really think it's making a difference, also you can use it on your hair and to cook, bonus :P

I find witch hazel helps and giving your face a splash with cold water after washing.

I love water, it's actually my favourite thing to drink :)

I love quorn! Though sometimes the texture puts me off a little...

Not an expert and not on SW but I highly recommend protein, it helps with muscle repair and growth among many other things. As for the best one, there are so many different kinds! Egg based, soy based, Whey based, hemp, pea etc.. I prefer whey protein, it's cheaper than most and a good choice...

I've found pretty good ones one ebay, the best ones to pick have around 70% or more protein per 100g and as few additives as possible like sweeteners etc I personally get concentrated grass fed hormone free whey protein but it's pretty pricey.

I have the same thing but on my face, it seems to be more from getting flustered or stressed than anything else, it's more manageable in the winter but horrible in the summer. Can't even try anti-perisperant on my face :/

I had read a research paper the basic idea was- dietary fat does not make you fat (Though saturated fat is still bad for arteries etc.) and that it's actually the leftover energy from carbohydrates that gets converted into fat.

My mother used to go out a lot and leave me alone at home a lot and leave me to look after my younger brother and sister she made up for it by bringing us sweets, she also got us mcdonalds whenever she didn't feel like cooking and it was always a ''just this once'' situation. I am now estranged...

Well it was baby fat for a long time, then I just had big bones...

It is definitely to do with confidence, a while back I lost a lot of weight and was at my lowest but I didn't feel very good about myself at all, I've always been quite big so I just felt awkward being smaller... A few stone heavier, gained back some weight, I had a short period in my life where...

I'm hoping it will give me confidence, I've always been a very shy person afraid of speaking her mind...

My problem is I feel like I have to clean my flat before I can start my new healthy routine and acquiring the motivation to clean my flat is even more difficult that dragging myself to the gym -.-'' Too many distractions.

I actually stopped buying trousers because they were so uncomfortable.. going to have to invest in a pair of my starting size once I reach my goal just so I can post it here :P

congrats, you look amazing!

Just amazing! Congrats

I have a long way to go, i'm hoping I can shift at least 6 stone by January next year

I often think I won't quite know what to do with myself once I lose the weight and even though I've lost 2 sizes already I'm still buying my old size just in case :P Either way I look forward to getting to my goal, you are a motivation and an inspiration!

I have about half of me to lose as well and it just seems so daunting on this end. You've done so well and you look gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your story :)

I have few words other than WOW! Thank you for sharing your story, it really helps to read other peoples experiences.

Awesomesauce, well done, you look amazing!!

Incredible and inspiring, thank you for sharing your story, it's very motivating!

Got some really good ones but can't post links until I get to 50 posts, will swoop back around once I get to 50.

I have recently started having almond butter which I really love though a bit more expensive than peanut, has a higher protein content though.

Got a really great low carb cheesecake recipe but it's bookmarked on my other comp, will swoop back around when I get home later and post

Good luck ^.^ will be following this thread :)

You're doing great, good luck!

Have not done well this easter, chocolate overload! I have however managed to go for a little jog most days so it's not all bad..

I'm restarting too, gets so disheartening and I just can't seem to get my head into gear :/

You're doing well and every little victory counts ^.^ Also, even if you slip up or have a bad day just keep going, I've had quite a few relapses into night time snacking or I cave and get a take-away and then I just get demotivated and give up, not sure if it's the same for you but stumbling...

Sometimes I'll even have left-overs from the day before, the first meal doesn't necessarily have to be ''breakfast'' foods.

One of my favourite breakfasts is porridge made with almond milk and little almond butter stirred in. I'll also chop a banana up and mix that in. Some of my other breakfasts are a poached egg or two on soy and linseed bread, greek yoghurt with berries and bran or pancakes made with oats and a...

I tend to start off with rules but they change depending on circumstance etc. I find if I just listen to my body it tells me what to do. For example- I start of with pretty strict calorie and exercise goals but as time goes on I find that on certain days I'm not as hungry and on others I'm...

I've heard that it's better to take measurements than to weigh yourself as you can become too focused on the numbers. I did notice last year that sometimes even though the number on the scale was the same I had still lost and inch or two all over and that my clothes were looser. Non-scale...

Hello all, I'm a new addition to healthy eating ^.^ Tried all sorts of diets for most of my life but they made me feel lousy and I would inevitably put all the weight back on. Started clean eating and exercise in June last year and it has been the only way that's stuck and also made me feel...

Can't access any private messages until I get to 50 posts, looks like I'm going to have to go on a posting spree >.<

Been lurking for a few days and decided to take the plunge, I'm a student working part time, had weight problems since my early teens and since june last year decided to turn things around once and for all! I lost 2 stone over last summer eating healthy and wholesome and exercising but then had...

So inspirational and motivating!

hiya, I don't know if you're still looking for a gym buddy but I live in plymouth too and am a similar weight and height! Would love to have someone to touch base with and generally support each other! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post my e-mail address here but I'll check back here to see if...
