What pleases me most at the moment is that I can now lie down on my back without feeling that my boobs are cutting off my breathing! I can also walk faster. I am not breaking out into sweats with minimal effort any more! I can't believe the difference that such a relatively small weight loss...

Sarah, The amount of calories you need to consume to lose weight (healthily at between 1-2 lbs per week) depends on several things, e.g. height, sex, age and current weight. Try "googling" how many calories do I need to have to lose weight and you will find some calorie counters that will tell...

Dontcallmetracy, congratulations on your weight loss so far. It's fantastic! I think you're doing the right thing by aiming to lose the weight slow and steady. That way you're much more likely to keep it off. That's what I keep telling myself too! I've yo-you dieted too many times to count and...

Lighterlife Claire, I can totally empathise with you. I had to have a seat extension on a plane on the outward journey. I was mortified as I had to ask for it when I was seated...there was just no way that I could squeeze myself into the belt. So, on my return journey I asked a member of the...

On weekdays I usually have 30 grams of Krispies or cornflakes with 125 ml of skimmed milk before leaving for work, then when I get to work I have a banana. However, on Saturdays and Sundays I try to have something different like scrambled eggs on wholemeal toast, or beans on toast. I always...

Hi again all! I haven't been on for a few days...been a bit busy here. Good to see you're all doing well with the calorie counting. I've been doing ok here too. Lost 3 lbs this week! I was delighted as I "only" lost 1.5 lbs last week. It's a great incentive to keep going, especially when you...

Evening all! Awww Jot that's a real shame. Can I ask something really stupid? Are you sure there isn't a problem with your scales, perhaps you need a new set? Are you weighing yourself at the same time of day? Or perhaps your exercise is building muscle, which, as I'm sure you know, is heavier...

I like your thinking Jot! Being down a dress size or two (or in my case most probably trousers) will make a huge difference...at least to our self-esteem.

Thanks! I guess it's not going to happen overnight but I'm really determined so I know it will happen eventually. I'm using the Glen Harrold mp3 too, it's great. It also works wonders for having a good night's sleep.

Oh well, 2lbs off this week. I know I should be pleased as that's the recommended weekly weight loss, but I had kind of hoped it would be a bit more! Still, slowly but surely eh?!

This is a great thread..Here are my goals: 1. Wear a swimming costume on the beach and also to go swimming - can't bring myself to do that at this weight. 2. Book a flight without worrying from the moment that I make the booking that I won't fit into the seat, the seatbelt will not fit or the...

Hi, I'm new to the forums and just looking through the threads to see how it all works, hence me joining late! I would love to lose at least 8 lbs by 13th September. Hoping this is possible as I've still got soooo much to lose! I'm on 1300 calories per day. Do you think it's realistic to aim for...

Just wanted to say Hi! I'm new to this forum, but absolutely an old-hand at being overweight and on diets, having been on the first one at I think the age of 7. I'm a divorced gran of 3, soon to be 4. I'm nowhere near a "Glam Gran" at the moment, but fully intend to be one, hopefully by this...
