Sorry for the lack of updates, but the weight loss is still on the go! Went a jog today - 4 miles - not much, but its a start eh :)

I'm down 1lb this week ( weighed on Monday ). Now 14st 10lbs :) So chuffed, but such a long way to go yet!!!

exactly, every lbs adds up :) And thanks very much :)

It's always a bit disheartening the 2nd week, after such a first loss in the first! 1lb off is better than a gain, always remember that :)

Don't be disappointed sididd! - remember, 2lbs is the average loss in a week, so you're not far off :) You always lose more on your first week of trying to lose weight :) Best of Luck!

I've decided to start weighing myself on Monday's, more easier for me :p - I've lost 2lbs since my last weigh in, which was 5 days ago, so I'm over the moon with that. It's actually a bit motivational being on here reading everyone elses stories etc, does help so much! So, how are you all...

Weighed myself this morning and I've lost 2lbs :D, down to 14st 11lbs now :)

Thanks Linz and Linda :) Made another change today - I moved from completely drinking fizzy juice, to just drinking diluted juice, now I'm moving from that and just going to drink nothing but water, not wanting to give myself unnecessary calories from diluted juice as I drink quite a lot

I'll join in from next Monday :)!!

Weekly weigh-in : 14st 13lbs :)

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply :) I'll take your advice on board, I do tend to be harsh on myself, sort of mechanism I have ! The reason it crept back on ; summer 2010 I was really active, went walks, cut down on food and calorie counted, then I went back to uni, and all that...

A few of you will remember me on here I'm sure, and this is my 3rd official attempt to shift the weight - which I know I need to , but I can't help myself feeling so demotivated :( Back in the summer of 2010, I managed to drop from 14st 10lbs to 12st 5lbs, which, although was my lowest ever...

Just read your opening post mate, and although I'm 20, the social anxiety and stuff sounds very similar to me, so wish you the best of luck with it all :)

Decided to go to the weekly weigh in so I don't get disheartened :p I weighed myself this morning and I'm down to 15st exactly - rather chuffed, but a bit worried about what I'll be like once all the weight is gone and well, there is lots of loose skin etc... but I guess I should worry about...

Sorry it's been as long since I've updated this! My internet has been down for the past few weeks due to changing suppliers and I'm not at uni again as the break is now over. I'm starting to really struggle and feel disheartened :( I was on a night out last week and I felt so uncomfortable and...

Just weighed myself today and I've maintained at 15st 4lbs - nothing new to report really

Hey guys - had another weigh in this morning, and was shocked when the scales read that I'd had another loss!!! Yesterday I had some pizza for dinner, not exactly healthy I know but I'm not watching what I'm eating absolutely carefully, just really cutting down my "extras" and obviously so far...

Hey Ellie - just read your opening post and it sounds very much like me... I don't go out very much because I'm ashamed how I look and I'm also very self conscious and stuff ( which my mates say isn't normal for a guy haha!) Just wanted to wish you luck with everything :)

09/1/2012 Just had my daily weigh in and I'm down 1lb :) Currently sitting having a bowl of Rice Krispies again, really feel good for it in all honesty, and not struggling at all - going to ask my mum to bring me home some fruit that I can snack on, rather than the nasty crisps and biscuits in...

Well the first day seems to have went very good - managed to have a healthy breakfast, and a more substantial dinner, which left me stuffed! Replaced all the fizzy drinks today with Water and feel alot better for it! I'm more of a daily weigher, so fingers crossed tomorrow seems a tiny bit of...

Just weighed myself as today is the official restarting date of my diet and I'm down to 15st 8lbs so that was a bit of a surprise. I've just had my breakfast, and I've swapped my regular cheese toastie ( well I call it brunch since it's lunch really ) , for a bowl of Rice Krispies so I would...

Hey guys, Don't know if anyone remembers me, but here I am again, 3rd time lucky, trying to turn my life around. I managed, first time around to get down to 12st 6lbs, but nowadays, my weight has ballooned to 15st 10lbs and feeling so disheartened but here's hoping I can finally get out the...

21/6/11 I know I have went A.W.O.L again - the weight crept back up to 15st 7lbs, but I've now gotten back down to 14st 13lbs, so I seem to be back in track I somehow, although really want to shift the weight, loose motivation for some reason I am promising myself and trying o have faith in...

First of all, congratulations on such a massive weight loss so far, and you should feel proud for what you've achieved. So, nobody is telling you that you look like you've lost weight eh? Don't worry - alot of people find talking about people's weight quite a touchy subject, and tend to avoid...

23/04/11 Well, today is the first day of my new attempt to lose weight! Since I came back to the forum last week, and today's first measure, I have lost 3lbs without any excerise, so I'm down to 14st 4lbs . Here's to my new future :)

thank you so much everyone :) All your kind words are a massive help so thank you :)

I've not been on here since November, and I must say, I'm feeling extremely ashamed to be perfectly honest with you... I got so caught up in uni work, I took my mind off my weight, and I'm paying for it now. During the summer, I started my diet at 194lbs (13.8ish) stone and managed to get down...

20/11/10 Well, a bit of good news on today's reading ... I've lost a pound :) I'm back down to 12st 7lbs, whereas my lowest weight has been 12st 5lbs, so it seems I'm back on track !

Well I'm definitely doing it to boost my self confidence, which is extremely low. I'm nearly 19, and I've never had a girlfriend due to the low self confidence - just feeling so fat and ugly in all honesty.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Tomorrow is my weigh-in day, so fingers crossed this time! I'll finally get rid of this stomach and weight once and for all!!!!!

13/11/2010 I know it's been a while since I posted... been through a lot recently. FMy weight loss seems to have hit a brick wall permenatly now unfortunately, over a week has passed and not a single pound has dropped :( Awk, I didn't wanna have my weight beat me this time :/

26/10/10 Feeling quite concerned today ... over the past 3 days, my appetite has been appaling. For example, all I had yesterday was a bowl of special K for breakfast, and same again for lunch, I felt I had no appetite whatsoever for dinner so skipped that. I've had this terrible appatite for 3...

23/10/10 I'm so excited to be posting this in all honesty- I've now dropped another pound, and now down to just 12st 5lbs.... I'm exstatic tbh - it's now my new lowest weight ever :D

Does drinking water help you to lose weight in any way? If so, how much is recommended daily?

15/10/10 I've had a frustrating week - My weight just won't budge whatsoever :( I've been monitoring it daily via my Wii Balance board, as I have always done, and it just seems like I've hit a brick wall with it all, and it's getting me really down tbh!

07/10/10 Well.. I'm home for a few days and thought I'd weigh myself to see what the difference was, if any. I am absolutely chuffed to say my weight has dropped down to 12st 6lbs, from 12st 8lbs.... I'm now at my lowest weight I've ever been.... like, ever :D!

Aww thanks so much Miss Mango ... the kind words are greatly appreciated :) I really do hope my weight loss happens this time - I've never been down as low as the weight I am now so that is definitely a great sign for me !

Thanks for the reply. Sometimes, I do feel though that I even struggle to go over 1200, just simply through lack of apetite :/ So to speak I don't want to force myself to eat when I;m just not hungry

I've been reading into all this, and according to some calculation I done, actually can't remember the name of it,my BMR is 1668.65 How low should I go with my calories in order to continue a healthy weight loss?

I think I'll invest .... you see, I'm a bit of a worrier and when I don't seem to weigh myself regularly, I tend to get worked up, really worrying myself as to whether I've lost/gained/maintained :( I know I can do it though!

thank you :) Everyone seems so nice around here so I'm glad I joined

Thanks very much :) I'm going to be here until May-ish, but I do tend to pop home every fortnight or so, and obviously with that I'll have access to the scales at home :) They're isn't a boots close to the uni atall so that is a problem :( I think I might invest in a set of digital ones, or...

that's a fantastic loss!!

02/10/2010 Well, today is my first day on the forums, so I think it's time I start my wee diary - I hope it'll keep me motivated as I can get how things are going off my chest, and have a look back at how it's going e.t.c As far as actually knowing my weight atm, I can't. I've recently...

Hello Wendy :) I'm new too so it's nice to meet you Good luck with it all :)

Hello everyone :) I'm 18, i'm 5ft 8" and weight 176lbs(12st 8lbs) :( For years I've struggled with my weight and this year decided it's time I start to do something about it . I started my diet, which was simply cutting down on what I ate in July, and started at 194lbs (13st 12lbs), so in...
