Right, well it's Wednesday and I was really happy this morning to get on the scales and see i am now 14st 3.2lbs! I actually went up to 14st 7lbs (i need to update my ticker) so have lost 4lbs so far. Most of that is probably not fat but simply because I'm not so full of food but it's still...

Thank you so much to you all for such lovely and inspiring replies! I'm afraid I chickened out of the wedding and so my son and husband went on their own. As it was about 100 miles away they stayed over with family for the weekend and I had the house to myself. I over-ate on both Saturday...

Thanks so much :)

:( Hello all! I'm a 30 (nearly 31) year old mum of a boy aged five and I've been overweight since my teens. I've weighed myself today and I'm 14st 5lbs and at 5'7" that makes me obese :(. I have an active job as a cleaner and I do a good 2 mile walk every day but unfortunately I eat such...

Well I haven't been around for a long time but I have still been trying to lose weight. I've not done as well as I would have liked but it's all my own fault - I've allowed myself to comfort eat too much as usual and ignored the fact that I have not lost any weight for a couple months now. That...

Well done! As long as you are eating when you're hungry then that's good; perhaps I got the wrong end of the stick. I'm glad you're doing so well! :):):)

Had proper weigh in this morning and was very pleased to see Ive lost 1lb this week! I'm hoping for 1-2lbs per week so I'm on target! I didn't walk home from work yesterday because it absolutely bucketed it down. I was worried this would have an effect on my weight but it would appear not...

I mean this in the kindest possible way, as someone who has struggled like you for many years, but I fear you are setting yourself up for a fall by not eating enough. You will, most likely, trigger a binge by denying yourself so much. I would suggest you graze a bit more; just have a few nuts...

Yesterday evening was a success; I walked home and did not eat anything else. Am 13st 7lb on scales this morning. I wonder if I'm really good, if it could be 13st 6lb by tomorrow? Am off to see a friend this morning so our sons can play, so that's time out of the house. Boredom leads to a...

Well today has been better than yesterday so far. I've not binged and managed to stop at just the one KitKat :p I'm working again this evening so will walk home afterwards. I'm a cleaner so the two hours I work are spent being physically active so all in all it adds up to some good exercise...

LOL - I hate doing star jumps - my boobs go one way and my arse goes another and I feel like my skin is stretching to breaking point! It's just a shame that the one exercise that is kind to one's joints in the one you have to parade practically naked to do...I mean swimming of course in case...

Thank you so much for your reply! I shall have a look into that book, it sounds like it might be what I need. :) I can see that you and I are about the same weight so have about the same to lose. Is this the biggest you've ever been?

Ooh! I'll give em a go! :D

Thank you - very good advice there! I think I'll have a bowl of sugar free cereal later then because I'm bound to be hungry after work. That should be sufficient. I did want more cookies - there were about twenty left and usually I would eat the lot over the course of a day. I have thrown...

Irulan, quite honestly I think you need to forget the exercise right now. It's probably doing more harm than good to you and if you seriously injure yourself then you're in trouble. I think the most you should be doing is some gentle stretching/flexing. Concentrate on doing your utmost to...

Yesterday was a better day; I had to work in the evening and walked the 2 miles home instead of getting my DH to drive me. Was knackered afterwards and my legs ached like crazy but felt good. Kind of bust by having a Twix and 3 jam sandwiches after though...dohhhh. Today, my eczema has...

Yeah that pretty much sums me up too! :rolleyes: I can't just have one bar of chocolate and feel like I've had a treat, it becomes a compulsion to have five bars of chocolate followed by a whole cake, crisps and a pizza. I can eat A LOT. I'm sure most people would be sick on what I can eat but I...

Wow well done you! You lost so much weight and to maintain for so long is inspiring! I hope I can be as good. My son is driving me crackers right now because he's on Summer hols from pre-school so every five minutes he's saying, "I'm hungry Mummy!". He can't possibly be because he's eaten...

I wanted to put this in my sig but too many characters so thought I'd pop it here. Here are my target weights. I'm hoping that by breaking it down into smaller goals, it will be less intimidating: 13st by 5th Sep 08 12st 8lb by 3rd Oct 08 11st 13lb by 7th Nov 08 11st 7lb by 5th Dec 08 11st...

Hi! :) I'm doing my own thing really. I find that if I pressure myself to stick to a specific diet then it tends to trigger a binge so I need to know I can eat what I want when I want it BUT only when I truly want it and not out of emotion. I have to stop myself when I am full and make sure...

Hello all! I'm 28 years old and married with a three year old son and I need to lose 3 and a half stone. My starting weight was 14 stone. I have managed to lose a few pounds but I ate too much over the weekend so have put some back on now :(. I want to get down to 10stone 7lbs stone because...

Wow that's a big weight loss, well done! I know what you mean though, the first couple weeks are always good for weight loss because you lose such a lot but when it slows down it becomes harder to stay motivated. Because I pigged out yesterday 3lbs have gone back on so I'm only 2lbs down now...

Hello Irulan, I'm a newbie here but stumbled across your thread and it's inspiring! I have 40lbs to lose and started a week ago. I lost 5lbs in the first week but have eaten really badly this weekend so am feeling a bit low now. I'm like you and an 'all or nothing' person so I get frustrated...
