I'm struggling at the minute. Just craving fatty foods :( x

Hi Sharon and thanks for the lovely support. This really is a great forum for encouragement as eating healthily is a way of life, and I wish I'd found it ages ago! You are doing so well, we were around the same weight when we started and both on xenical! So we are on a journey together lol xxxx

Of course you can! They are on the wrong way round I think but I've made them public so all on the forum can see them xxxxxx

Aw Rachel thanks! I've just uploaded some before and after photos of me at Christmas and me now. I'm not sure how to post photos so I think they are back to front ( I'm a nerd at computing lol.) I also think it was an unwise idea to post a photo of me with my size 10 daughter in law lol x

Hi Rachel thanks again for your lovely messages and encouragment. I am such a blonde, of course I'm losing it in inches! All my clothes are loose lol. So I must get hubby to measure me today! Thanks sweetie xxxx

I have the Sketchers walking ones. It took me one walk to get used to them. Now I even wear them when I'm cycling. I love them. I feel as though they are shaping me up all over. :))

I agree with all the previous posts on this thread, I hate paying through the nose to a gym and then never going! Walking is free, it's great and I couldn't live without my half/hour forty minutes me time. It's lovely. Plus the hot shower after ain't half bad either lol x

I agree! My son told me the other day that my trousers look like clown pants on me :)) but I'm going to keep yoinking them up when they fall down until I'm two sizes smaller also. It's a great feeling though, bye bye size 20-22 I hope and pray I NEVER see you again! :D

Food so far today Boxed homemade salad for lunch with hard boiled egg, salad, toms, gherkins, celery, lean ham from M&S. Small pkt of rice cakes from M&S. Two cups of coffee. No breakfast as I ran late. So far I've resisted the open box of choccies in our office lol x

Hi Missy and Rainbow and thanks, I'm feeling a bit blue today as I thought I had lost way more weight than my doctors scales told me :( however, slow and steady wins the race, eh? x

It is Passiflora, and although I'm really struggling today I'm determined not to give in. I think. LOL x

Passiflora you angel, you have cheered me right up! I've gone a bit scale mad, and I jump on one every time I pass it. I was just so surprised as I really thought I'd lost more. However I bought a lovely top last night in a size smaller so I'll keep that thought in mind. This is why I love this...

I think my weight loss ticker needs adjusted and I'm craving high fat crisps. See? Emotional eating kicking in already. * Sniffle*

:cry: I've been on a low fat diet since the beginning of January, and with my Doctors help started on Xenical on February 8th. My GP advised me to * let my hair down* on weekends, as because I'm an emotional eater I would end up giving up on healthy eating. ( Yet again. ) I weighed myself when I...

Can anyone tell me how to start a weight loss diary on the forum here? I'm new to MM ( but loving it, so many nice supportive people and no condemnation for me being heavier than many rugby players lol.) I'm on xenical ( a month now) and get my first weigh in with my GP in the morning:eek: I...

Thanks Mari I thought I had to have so many posts before I could do that xxx

OOh yes I've seen peeps on those but I'm always too mortified to get on them lol

Denis, I love Americans. Well all the ones I happen to know. :)) If I could get my hubby to emigrate, I'd live in Vermont. * Sigh* x

Anyone know if cycling is a better form of exercise than walking?

I am watching my fat intake and walking 40 minutes every day :)

My upper inner arms are the worst, dinner lady arms I call em lol

My face, always my face! Goodness sake. :(

HOw do you monitor your body fat?

Me too, me too LOL x

LOL Sugar ! I'm an old doll anyways so mine headed South years ago ( but I still love pretty bras :)

I'd need my liver cleansed after every weekend lol

I'd be tempted to nick something off their plates Starlight lol

How can you do these diets if you have a family to feed?

Does anyone ever actually read the blogs on Minimins? Just wondered. I love the ones I've read so far. Also is there anywhere on the forum where I can leave a record of my daily food intake for others to see, so they could advise me if they think I am going wrong? Thanks all x

I for one will be delighted if I lose weight from my boobs! I'm a forty DD :eek: and I think each one must weigh 2 or 3 lbs! I hate having to hunt for the larger sizes when searching for bras but thank goodness places like Marks and Spencers are making the bigger sizes prettier nowadays and...

Err what does free mean? * hits head*

The Nutrition Search Engine - SkipThePie.org Sorry Irene I posted this in the wrong place and don't know how to delete. :(

This is a great thread, thanks! I'm on xenical and have been weighing myself every day as I see my GP next week , and my weight loss will depend on wether or not she re~prescribes xenical for me! I can see now that weighing myself every day is a big mistake. I was, like serenity, going nuts as...

I know Sigourney I got that app too :)) It's great x

Thanks guys xx

Is there anything you can eat at an Indian resturant that isn't really full of fat? We are going out to dinner with friends tomorrow night and I don't know what to choose :(

No, not on my tummy and butt :) As I'm eating healthily myself I am unsure as to count calories or fat. Myu g/friends in work watch the fat content allowing 30g per day for all meals. Can anyone advise me on which to choose? I am not even sure about which fats are which, for instance, what is...

Wine will be mine all mine lol :)

Rorah when you add it all up I guess it does amount to quite a lot! I guess because I'm new to * what's on offer out there* I'm trying to do it by just eating healthily and my GP gave me xenical because my BMI was in the obese category. It's lovely that my clothes don't feel so tight and I'm...

I'm glad I'm not alone on this one! Great ideas girls, but what about the PEEING lol xxx I'm a nurse and can't run to the loo all the time :-(

I'm off to bed but I just wanted to take a minute to say a HUGE thank you for this lovely first night on the forum. I didn't even know forums like this existed, so it is a delight to know that a lot of help and motivation will come from here. I've been online all night reading the various...

* Gets Tena pads out * :)

Ooh never thought of that yummy mummy, thanks! I think it's the thought of the constant peeing puts me off too lol. My bladder is leaky enough at my age heh heh

Cf hello! I drink chai tea so I guess i'm getting the dreaded h2o in somewhere lol xxx

Niki you sound like my kind of gal lol! I drink a lot of semi skimmed milk during the day and coffee, why it's heaven in a cup... :) x

I started alli in February as I needed the extra boost with being menopausal, the weight is so much harder to shift. A girl I work with lost three stone and looks terrific it was her who encouraged me to try it. * Crosses fingers and toes*

You look fantastic! Good luck with the rest of your weight loss journey and the shopping! x

I don't think I could do this diet ! :(

I've around four stone to lose, but am doing it by healthy eating and exercise. Good luck with your weight loss! Anna xxxx

I'm excited about getting my Avatar too! Sad , really lol x

Chris thanks so much for the speedy reply! After I posted here I You tubed it and they make it sound so appealing! I guess the best way to get rid of the pounds is the tried and trusted way, healthy eating. I did notice though that Pauline Quirke ( she now of Emmerdale fame) started in...

Sorry all, can anyone tell me what lighter life is? I'm new to the forum and still trying to find my way around. Thanks Anna :confused:

I just don't like it Niki lol. I wish it was as simple as just forgetting heh heh x

hi I'm new here could you tell me what wemitts stands for? Thanks :) x

Oh and Valerie a typical days eating for me before would have been Breakfast None Break Sausages ( 2) in a roll with TWO pats of real butter Lunch Sandwiches and chocolate and crisps Dinner Takeaways or red meat dishes Supper wine, crisps, peanuts and chocolate! It's a wonder I got out the door...

Hi Valerie, no particular diet, just eating as healthily as I can under the supervision of my doctor. I am the biggest junk food eater in creation! I love Chinese, crisps, sausage rolls, if it's high in fat I love it lol! However I was ill before Christmas and I got to thinking about how I...

Juicy, thanks for the encouragement! xxxx

hi Irene, thanks so much for the lovely welcome! xxx

This made me so sad! It's awful when people say words that wound. Hang in there, just remember * No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.* * Eleanor Roosevelt * :) xxx

I hate drinking water. Simple as. I admire people who can gulp down two litres a day. I can hardly manage three glasses. Any advice on how to start drinking more? Thanks x

Well done on a great weight loss. I don't know much about slimming classes as I always try to lose it by myself. :)

Thanks Maisie! I'm am trying hard and feel so much better for getting the 7 lbs off, but low fat foods ain't that nice, simple as lol. However the feeling of looser clothes is.... :cool:

Err, what's Exante? I'm the new girl on the block :o Thanks

Oh! I forgot to say, my starting weight was 15 stone. Heaviest I've ever been. At 5'4" :cry: Now, 14.7 :D

Hello all, my name is Anna and I joined this forum as everyone seems so lovely and encouraging! :) I've struggled with my weight all my life. I lost four stone for my wedding six years ago but due to being menopausal and bad habits creeping in I gained it all back. I decided that twenty eleven...
