Well done you look fantatic! 27lbs in 3 months?? How did you it if you don't mind my asking...? How many calories did you eat? Did you exercise? Sorry for all the questions but I'm starting with almost identical stats as you had 3 months ago, and your picture has completely inspired me!! : )

Just to echo everyone else - Iris you're an absolute inspiration. Have you ever thought of motivational speaking?? Seriously! Am I right in thinking that you're a fellow Irishwoman? Something about nuns and convents gave it away... Anyway, just wanted to say that I really needed to read a post...

HI Rhuba I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to reply to your really helpful email...absolutely manic of late...I'm feeling very inspired by your posts so have ordered LB Diet book, should hopefully arrive tomorrow! Would love to hear some of your healthy recipes, everything in your diary...

Hi Rhuba Right well I don't think I can tell you off in any way as I've had the most horrendous weekend (to which I can also add today)....All I can say is that even if you have eaten an extra couple of thousand calories (god it sounds awful but I'm standing there with you!) on a given...

Thanks Dramatic Star...I've the unfortunate tendency to be a person of extemes, so when I start to fall off the wagon I feel like I'm actually gonna fall off, roll around in the mud a bit, start travelling in the opposite direction, and then finally turn around and climb back on the wagon...if...

Oh and I did get rid of the toblerone....gave it to boyfriend to share with his team - much better to be eaten by 10 people as opposed to one!

Iris thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot to know that there are ppl out there that can understand and empathise with feelings that probably seem silly to a lot of others. I don't know why I'm feeling so out of control. I know that I'm struggling at the moment cos we've got...

Just had 2 more choc biscuits....

Vakwi - how are you getting along with the Beck Diet?? I got one of her books - big green one - and found it excellent. I didn't enter on an outright programme but did make out some of the respones cards and still carry them around with me today... The complete programme seemed like a huge...

Hi everyone, really struggling today :wave_cry: I barely slept last night and now I'm having a really bad day....could do with some advice or words of encouragement :sigh: It's barely 2 o clock and I've already gorged myself to the point where I'm disgusted with myself. I'm thinking that if...

Does anyone else suffer from peer pressure or what I call 'social' eating?? I think it's my biggest downfall food wise....I completely lose control when I'm at a party/bbq or just have friends over for nibbles...The weekend just gone, we had friends staying for the weekend, and I literally ate...

Thanks guys, that's really encouraging. I've always relied on that idea too that muscle weighs more than fat cos I try to lose weight through exercise and healthy rather than outright dieting...but I read somewhere that if you're steadily working out you would only really put on a few pounds of...

<Big sigh> I've been eating really healthily, watching portion sizes, and doing loads of exercise for nearly 2 weeks now....then this morning I stepped on the scales, and I'd lost a quarter of a pound! One quarter!! I don't know if I should even bother weighing myself anymore beacause I've...

Yep. Big jar of nutella + spoon + emotional/frustrating day….certainly been there. Kinda helps that I don’t buy nutella and or anything similarly luscious anymore, but that’s more of a preventative measure and doesn’t really get to the root of it… Like Rhuba I’ve never been that overweight...

Hi purple thanks for replying. I have tried to fool myself into believing I'm putting on enough muscle for it to be a factor,but reallly it's not...I am actually reasonably toned, and my tummy is one of the few areas I'm happy with...I just need to shift the flab from bum, thighs and everywhere...

Farmgirl thanks a million for the almost wee-inducing imagery in your last post- particularly liked the old lady and her dog materializing from behind the trees.... With the front of my torso not looking that different the back, I can't really relate to your experience running, but I do have a...

Yeah I think giving yourself a bit of a break right now would be a good thing. If you're feeling a bit emotional and unsupported right now you could be precariously close to a binge ...I know I usually am when I'm feeling particularly low. Just focus on not going crazy with regards to comfort...

Life without carbs? What would be the point?! Zoe you really are exercising enough to deserve a good healthy dose of carbs! And I do agree with Iris in that potatoes get a ridiculously bad rap. Once you measure you're portions out you'd be surprised how little calories they actually contain -...

Hi all This is the first time I’ve ever posted on a weight loss forum. I think part of me feels like I won’t be taken seriously as I don’t really have a great deal of weight that I want to lose – I’m nearly 11 stone hoping to get down to 9.5…but I’m beyond the point of frustration at the...
