Enjoying food in moderation is a good idea , but if we could keep to that rule we wouldn't be on a diet forum!

It depends what you are in to but LadyHawke , Hed Kandi stuff and Nelly Furtado are good to exercise to:D

Hi, I stumbled recently and ate crisps etc I can beat myself up over it or say "That was yesterday , tomorrow is a new day" Or something. I have opted for the latter. It is impossible to be good 100% of the time , as long as you are commited and don't use it as an excuse to give up- pick...

Congratulations on your weight loss so far! Your pictures are so inspiring. Men always lose weight quicker than women:D

Hi, Feeling emotional when changing your eating habits is completely normal! The way we eat and the foods we choose are often linked to our emotions. I think being a tall woman makes it harder to see how big you are. Since sticking to my diet I feel bigger than ever when standing next to slim...

Hi Ian , Welcome and good luck with your weight loss. Stir frys are lush , i have them without noodles 9/10 now but still enjoy crunching beansprouts!

Probably last year when I asked my ex for a pack of crisps , he brought round one of the big packs of walker's with about 24 bags in. I ended up eating all of them over 2 days:o I can't be trusted with crisps because I can't resist them and adore savoury , salty food. I also remember...

You'd have to be stupid to be on a diet so low in calories that you die. To me ,a low calorie diet isn't starving yourself so much that you end up in a box. If I advocated or followed such a diet i'd hardly be a member MiniMins

Crisps , apple pies , donuts , cheesecake , ice cream etc I haven't eaten any of it which is good. I do feel guilty now though!

She wasn't exactly huge before she lost weight so I doubt her boons sagged THAT much. Her boobs are too full to be natural now. I'm sure it is just a coincidence that most underweight slebs have bigguns:rolleyes:

You look so good! You are my height give or take an inch. I feel so big now:(:D

You can't really forget it! She is pretty but underweight. I always wonder what sleb women eat to maintain such tiny frames. I don't understand being the same size as a child then getting a boob job. Body image is so screwed up today , I wonder if any woman likes her own body.

Good luck with your diet! You did really well last year and i'm sure you will this time , too.

Sounds interesting. I had BIG trouble with a lack of fibre last month which led to a week of pain and being too ill to visit the hospital for an appointment. You will need to drink a lot of water ,too. I agree with upping the calories to 800 odd. Good luck!

I've never gone under 500 cals but agree about the body going in to starvation mode isn't 100 % true. Reminds of the man who didn't eat for a year (while under supervision) and lost weight,obviously. We out too much focus on eating 3 meals a day and healthy snacks. Most people don't need that...

There are so many exercise rules the more I look in to it! I was told about HITT Training but i'm not fit enough yet:o

I was told if you want to lose weight you should be focusing on cardio workouts that get your heart pumping for at least 25 minutes

I find it hard visualising myself as a slim person. I think I will always carry slightly more weight than average because of my height. I love thinking about the clothes I will be able to buy once I have lost weight , though. One of the worst things about being overweight is horrible clothes and...

I like the feeling I get from not eating biscuits , chocolate , chips etc . Being able to control my food intake feels really good

This feels strange! I credit myself for going on 5 walks during the last week

I stick to Pepsi Max and water now. I couldn't give up fizzy drinks so don't bother trying! You could try cutting down to one a day then one every other day etc

Thanks for responding. Low carb is a diet I must follow for health reasons but from a nutritional point of view I am eating badly. I don't have an appetite , hate eggs and being vegetarian means the types of food I used to eat eg pasta , bread , cereal , rice etc Are off limits most of the time...

I've been a vegetarian since I was 15 , it is possible to be overweight as a veggie or vegan. I would love to be a vegan one day but love eating Quorn too much!

My diet was low calorie but it is now low carb too. To be honest I am finding it a pain as I can't find suitable foods so just end up eating yoghurt , veg and water

I think you have to decide for yourself what diet to follow. Being fat can lead to worse health issues (Diabetes , heart attacks , depression etc) then following a VLCD for six months or so

Hi Clairex . Welcome and good luck! I 'd like to lose the same amount

Thanks! I think you look quite fit but it is about feeling comfortable with what you see in the mirror. The link is broken

Thanks Gemstone! I drink lots of water already but was just wondering out loud ( - ;

I'm intersted in the amount of exercise you do each day. I'm not sure if I could go carb-free as I am a vegetarian but I don't eat pasta/rice at the moment

I'm a nice girl but have been known to curse once or twice! The person below me is wearing a boob tube

Hi. Are most people on this thread drinking at least 2 litres of water a day? I love water but i'm still cynical about it aiding weight loss!

I could do with a weight loss buddy too. I am determined to lose weight this time now I am single:( If anyone wants my MSN , PM me please.

Hi MissusB, I hope to be happy with my weight by christmas , too. I am sticking to a low calorie diet as I can be a picky eater. Good luck!

I can't really do treats as one treat tends to lead to another! Could you not have a weekly non-food treat?

Why were you given your particular name? I was named after my mother How many brothers and sisters do you have? 1 sister What is your favorite thing to do? sleep or watch youtube What is your favorite food? Quorn , leeks ,onions and crisps (though not at the moment!) What is your favorite book...

I've had awful comments from my mother over the years regarding my weight. She eroded my confidence as a teenager which led me to dropping out of life for a long time. She hates "fat people" . I ignore her now!

I agree with everyone else- your pictures are so inspiring! I have a lot of weight to lose so have been reading your blog , too. You have come so far !

Hi tracey113. I have lost my only friend too so am feeling pretty awful. I feel sick everyday but at my size ,being off my food isn't exactly bad. This is the friendliest site I have ever joined!

Thanks IreneH! I have so many challenges ahead of me it is unreal. Minimims is a great site ,I have already picked up lots of tips!

Hi Keisha! Thank you:wave_cry:

I'm not sure which method is more accurate. I might weigh myself next week! The scales I bought cost enough:)

I have just lost my fiance due to the way I see myself. I think I like myself but I hate my body so much that I have lived like a hermit since my teens. Losing my love has forced me to look at myself and to try to start living again. Not easy after being big all my life and having a mother who...

HiJaney2004, I feel too sad to eat most days so i'm kind of following a low calorie diet. This forum is full of great tips and advice. I'm glad I joined:D

I love Mazda mx5's but will be buying a much cheaper car when I pass my test!

I haven't weighed myself for a month. It is very addictive so I am just using a tape measure (and how loose my skirt is)to monitor my progress at the moment.

Hi, I am also new to minimims and have a lot of weight to lose. Congratulations on your weight loss so far!

I 'm not looking forward to how my slimmer body will look but at least I will be better on the inside. I agree with the poster who said if all else fails they would have surgery.

Sounds like you need to tone up , not diet. Join a gym and do some workouts that target your abs

I wouldn't keep old clothes once I had lost weight. It is almost like amitting you will go back there one day.Sell them or give them away is my advice:)

Soya milkshakes are lush. I haven't had one in months but usually buy Provamel ones

Hi, I have recently come out of a long term relationship and have decided to tackle my problems. My weight has held me back most of my life ,so shifting my chub is paramount . I am currently on the heartbreak diet:eek:
