    Was walking, got shouted at 'fat b' from a car window today

    It is seriously worrying.. Every week I am appalled at some teen's behaviour I come across on the metro, in the street, wherever. Some of them are plain nasty, so selfish and just into all the wrong things. There's no way on earth that my kids will turn out like that some day, nuh huh!

    Well thanks for your concern ladies, things seem to be getting back on track. Weighed in for the first time in ages after I have really made an effort, been cooking a lot, biking as much as possible, etc but the scales showed something disastrous which I find hard to believe. I do feel very...

    Tea advice

    Well I know that cherry tea is good for your bladder, I'm pretty sure you can find brands that even say so on the box. I find Jasmin tea to be cleansing and lovely, along with lemon tea, or even verbena. I'm such a tea geek <3

    Was walking, got shouted at 'fat b' from a car window today

    I cannot BELIEVE that mother acknowledging that kid's comment about your weight. If she says that, can you imagine all the other crap she tells her child? What on earth is that child going to grow up to be? Now THAT is disgusting. Otherwise, I don't mean to take their side, but picking on...

    Was walking, got shouted at 'fat b' from a car window today

    Miss R, I find that's true. I too find myself being very compassionate of just about any cause, because I've had my fair share of issues too so I feel for anyone who seems to be struggling with something. Also, when I'm slim, I can really appreciate it then. Those are the only positives I can...

    Stuck at 203 >.<

    Well, often when you stop losing, it's your body's way of telling you that it's comfortable this way and it's happy so it doesn't want to change. In order to change it, you need to give it a shock, and that usually means dropping some calories unfortunately. How I did it was that I stuck to my...

    1400 or 1100 Calories?

    Definitely, start with something higher and if it's working, stick with it until it's not doing anything for you anymore. Then you can drop another hundred. You need some leave way so start off with 1400 and take it from there. It worked for me :) Started at 1300 and am now around 1150.. well...

    When is the best time to weigh yourself?

    Make sure you drink plenty of water the night before because if you don't, you might be carrying some water retention weight.. and you don't want that, trust me! But otherwise, ditto :D Also be sure to step on and off of the scales at least 10 times.. I usually write them down and calculate the...

    Gosh, people are ffing horrible I tell ya. I can't believe the nerve. These people find this funny because they clearly lack intelligence and have some self-confidence issues themselves.

    The biggest picture

    Don't think about him, he's your ex for a reason! Concentrate on your diet, because taking care of yourself is the most important thing. Baby steps, right? If you do it slowly but surely it'll work and you'll keep the weight off. Just think of every pound you lose as proof that you can do it...

    To Follow a Plan or Not to Follow a Plan?...

    I think weighing in every day can be quite inaccurate because of what you ate the day before, water retention, what have you.

    Poor you. I really sympathise, this only reminds me of when I had mumps this year (god knows how). But at least you'll be able to eat, I couldn't have anything at all. Worst week of my life! Just take it as a mini holiday :) kind of.
  101. Just Peachy

    In need of your wise knowledge.

    Yeah it seems to be working, I did lose 2 pounds this week so I guess I'm doing it right. It's just cos I am a lot more active than I used to be and not eating much more.. but I might start losing more too! We'll see, I'm just scared of not eating enough for what I'm spending but if I stop...

    Stomach shrinking

    Sammy, I am finding that too. I now have much smaller portions and I'm half way through it and I need to make an effort to eat the rest of it as I only ate 100-200 calories. I'd love to know what it actually going on but it's a godsend.

  107. Just Peachy

    FRIDAY GIRLS

    Who's in a hurry anyway? You're better off taking your time than doing it so rushed that you'll have learnt nothing and you'll put it all back on. To be honest, losing weight is a pretty superficial thing to do if you think about it, other than health issues etc but usually that's not people's...
  108. Just Peachy

    In need of your wise knowledge.

    There is no hunger strike going on, don't you worry. This is the way I have used and that I have found that works well for me. I don't find it complicated, rather I find it makes things clearer for me. I just wanna make sure I'm doing it right, that's all :)

    Goal weight?

    I just picked a number that looked reasonable according to past experiences, current weight and also BMI altho I don't fully believe in that. I figure you can always adjust your goal once you get there but I always thought it's more motivating reaching something smaller and then taking on...
  111. Just Peachy

    In need of your wise knowledge.

    Thanks guys, that sounds quite reasonable, I like the idea of eating those 400 calories and the rest is extra! I'm excited to see what will happen tomorrow for my weigh in. Right now I am being good, using between 200-400 calories to make up for it like Dreamer suggested so hopefully that's...

  113. Just Peachy

    In need of your wise knowledge.

    So recently my lifestyle has changed quite a lot. I'm back in a routine and I am going to work and back in the diet, big time! Problem is, I have no idea how to calculate my calories any more.

    Update on my loss.

    Really well done on that loss, I can't wait to be where you are. The trick to doing exercise is picking something you actually remotely enjoy. Even if you're lazy, you'll start to feel and see the benefits so you'll go back to it. If you don't like the gym for whatever reason, then don't go...

    Ladies! All this talk of men being too busy to respond.. I'm sorry but that's bullshit. No matter how busy people are, they will ALWAYS make time for someone they really want or care about.

    Where do you notice weight loss first?

    It is frustrating. I lost first from my face, neck, boobs and waist. I now have cheek bones and collar bones which is amazing, looks really feminine which I love. Enjoying the waist too. Have lost quite a bit of hips but still not enough. Can't wait for the tummy and thighs to go.. My legs and...

    MEN!!!!!

    Ugh, that's awful! Your man should be telling you that he loves all of you. That's what my man does and that's why I keep him around lol. Can't have him making me feel bad about myself, I can do that all by myself. I think your man needs to be taught a thing or two about women lol.

    Same here, I used to eat caramel shortcakes like there was no tomorrow. A box of 20 or so would last me 2-3 days... and now I have one and I'm like omg. Same for tea biccies. Could easily eat 4-6 and now I don't even miss them. It's mainly the sweet things that my tastes are changing for, never...

    Why I have to lose weight?

    Tracey-languages is the only thing I know really, can't do maths and science for my life. I just learn a bunch of languages and.. that's it. It's not really impressive if it's the only thing you know lol. Yeah, looking forward to going home but I'm not sure how I'm going to leave here and my...

    How Do You See Yourself?

    Yeah, some photos are great, and I don't mind them at all. Actually I like having nice photos of me. But when people tag me it's just terrible. Don't they realise I look bad and they shouldn't have tagged me or put it up in the first place!?!?

    Someone put my mind at ease... :(

    Syrinx-I know! I was very impressed with myself. I thought I'd deserved it after two months of no dessert which has.. never happened. Yeah, give yourself time. Alcohol does f*ck it up, and I haven't had a pint in god knows how long. I'll have some wine (I'll drink less than alcohol cos it...

    Someone put my mind at ease... :(

    Sugar-I didn't used to share my weight with anyone, but I tell one of my flatmates every week and she's really supportive and I tell another when it seems appropriate. I told my best friend because she went shopping with me, and my dad and mum because they both noticed it cos they don't see me...

    Wonderful :) Oh yeah, look at that, you're just down t' road from me ;) I'm not actually Geordie so don't get your hopes up lol. Durham's lovely, was there just a couple weeks ago. Had the most amazing toffee cheesecake at this place called Saddler's (sssh, don't tell anyone on here) and...

    I find this quite ridiculous. Can you believe the amount of money they spend on a weekly shop? I could go on holiday with that! Also, those two photos are quite shocking. In the first one, she's eating a huge McDonalds meal but she's drinking diet Orange Crush haha, as if that makes a big...

    Fingers crossed for this week!

    Someone put my mind at ease... :(

    Syrinx-if you want, you could join the Friday Girls in the weigh in section. It's just a bunch of us and we post how much we've lost and the one who loses the most each week gets a balloon :) It's fun to see how others are keeping up and it's also motivating. You're very welcome to anyway...

    Who is Making Me Fat?

    Yeah same here! Think we're very lucky indeed. I just crave water now for some reason, feel bizarre if I don't have my 2 litres. That can only be a good thing tho :)
  222. Just Peachy

    How Do You See Yourself?

    Ugh, I just saw a picture of me on Facebook that was taken this weekend and I just so look so fat compared to my size 8-10 flatmate. It's really upset me. I only ever realise what I look like in photos. Somehow on a day to day basis, it's like the mirror's telling a different story. This weight...

    Why I have to lose weight?

    Jaja Suzy, que bonito. Yo tambien hablo espanol. Las lenguas son la unica cosa que yo se desgraciadamente... Dunno if that question was for me, but I'd like to go teach English or French in Germany for like 6-12 months but I wouldn't move there. I don't think I'd stay in the UK either. I love...

    March Challenge

    Well done girls, that's wonderful news! :)
  225. Just Peachy

    Someone put my mind at ease... :(

    That could definitely be a possibility. Our bodies do weird things and weigh more or less at different times of the day, including different days. As I usually go out Friday and/or Saturday, I weigh in Friday mornings to avoid all of that lol. Maybe it'd be worth considering? You can stick to it...

    Vegas Baby!!

    Oh dear, I apologise for Toronto. It's a really terrible place if you ask me (or any other Montrealer). You want to go to the wrong side of Canada! It's all about the East lol. Although Vancouver is wonderful, everything in between is... just not great. Bit boring. I've lived/been to 9...

    If we were born thin.......?

    Depends on the person. I feel soooooo much more confident now with just 23 pounds less. I hold my head up higher, look at people more in the eyes, and I've noticed I get checked out more :D But yeah, it's not gonna solve everything but I've already noticed a big difference.

    Who is Making Me Fat?

    Yeah, that sounds good :) I'm lucky I'm an avid tea drinker.

    Who is Making Me Fat?

    I know, I don't drink juice at all anymore. I'd rather eat my calories than drink them, it's more satisfying.
  230. Just Peachy

    Who is Making Me Fat?

    Well Tracey, at least it's not juice! Imagine all the calories.. I see people drinking huge glasses of juice now and I cringe haha, isn't it silly?
  231. Just Peachy

    If we were born thin.......?

    Yeah definitely. It's not like your problems go away when you lose weight or you're thin. But I can think of so many shitty things in my life that have/had been caused by my weight. I personally think I'd be a completely different person because I've worked a lot of things around my weight. I'm...

    Excellent! Can we change it then? Cos I'll add on another two pounds and hopefully shed that by next Friday x

    Sugar- Thanks! I'd love to fit in size 14 too, it's just this one dress I think cos it's stretchy. I'm more of a size 16 I think, not too sure. Caws- Thank you :) You've done really well, great news!

    I don't know if you read the Friday Girls' weigh in at all but I've lost 7 pounds this week, which effectively means that I've reached my March challenge as of week 2! Really happy about it, especially cos I sts'ed last week. I've got one last weigh in before I go on hols, so I might drop...
  239. Just Peachy

    Hi Everyone, I'm new...

    Suzy-How is it that you don't think that people have noticed when you've lost 70lbs!?!?! That's crazy talk, woman! Happy-well I've been talking to you through threads and what not but welcome, officially :)
  240. Just Peachy

    FRIDAY GIRLS

    Yeah I'm pleased. Not sure every piece of size 14 would fit me to be fair. I think the last time I fit in that size I must've been like.. 9 or 10. Hobbesy-don't worry about it, you'll see those scales going down very soon I'm sure :)

    Aw honey, that sucks. :hug99: Hopefully it's just your body being weird this week, water retention and what not and that next week it'll compensate for it. Keep your chin up x

    FRIDAY GIRLS

    So I found it very hard to believe but I've lost 7 pounds this week! I weighed myself like twenty times in different spots in my room and it didn't change. Since I sts'ed last week because of auntie Irma, I'm guessing it wasn't exactly an sts, but it's still an incredible loss, I don't quite...

    I love Canada tooooooo. Proud Canuck here. Although I'm half English and I'm in the UK half the time it seems lol, can't keep away :D I think the UK's the only other English-speaking country I'd consider moving to lol. Brit, have you been to Canada before?

    Hearty lentil soup

    Mine came out with a nice smoothish texture from just cooking it, but it still had bits. You could definitely put it in the blender, or add more water/broth to it. It's not a liquidy soup tho so I'm not sure what it'd be like. It's usually quite thick. Let me know if you try it :)

    Hey Winter, have you calculated your BMR? It seems about right. I have 1250 calories a day but I'm 40 lbs heavier than you, but don't count any exercise in what I do. I find this is helpful to see what most things burn off: Calorie calculator & calorie counters explained ...
