I hate my picture being taken so im hoping for some new confidence as part of my weight loss

I find setting goals helpful. I have at least 4 stone to lose which is depressing. I have just met my first target and now have set another stone to lose as my next. Each time I will give myself a bit longer to lose it as expect my weight loss to slow down over time.

Im a 36F but def need to get measured again.

I def understand this. I used to be a size 6/8 so in a lot of ways I still feel like that but Im not that thin any more. Im always horrified wen i see pics of myself and cant quite believe thats me

Im 13 stone and currently size 16. When I was 9 stone I was a size 8 so I would like to be back there again at least. Im only 5ft

I definitely know this feeling. Its hard and so easy to go off track. It only takes one bad day. Im struggling at the moments and Im only on day 10. Just keep remembering why you want to do this and you will get back on track even if it takes a little while.

well done both of you on the weight loss. Im going to look at photographers over the next day or so as i would like to have that all booked up. Need to make a proper start.

Quorn is low fat and low in cal. Im not a veggie but have started buying that instead of chicken to save on kcals.

I def want to join in. Im also waiting to buy a wedding dress and want to be pretty close by xmas. My December target would be 9 stone (126 lb) and I am currently 13 stone so would like to lose 4 stone.

We haven't had our date very long but that is all we have. I don't really know where to start but should really as Im sure the time will fly by. Have you just got engaged? Its all very exciting though!!

Im calorie counting. I have a target of 1200kcal a day which has been alright so far. Im also going to the gym more regularly which helps me maintain my calorie allowance. I think that was also beginners luck not that im complaining. :)

Hey Im getting married August 2012. I would like to lose a good 4 stone pos more. I havent got my dress yet. Want to lose some weight first so the experience isnt too depressing.

Im the same I only count the calories. I try to avoid high fat, carb etc and choose healthier foods but when it comes down to it I only count the kcals. At the weekends I allow myself to use some of the kcals for treats,

Could you make to different pies. A fattier one for your husband and then using a much smaller dish make one for yourself. Thats what I do as my fiance needs to put on weight. Also im wheat intolerant so when making lasagne or similar I have to make two and I can then make mine less calorific...

I lost 10lb but it was my first week. So happy though!!

Yea yogurt is something nice to have as a snack and to top yourself up on the calories if your a bit low. Occasionally i allow myself a biscuit as a treat for doing well. However today im 560 cals short as I went to the gym late and had an unexpected hard core workout which now takes me under...

I usually eat the cals that I burn as Im already restricting myself to 1200 and so far its working well for me. Some days I don't manage to eat them all back it depends on how well I do at the gym. Its not a bad thing to eat them though otherwise you will run out of energy.

Well done you look fantastic

Wow you have done so well and look fantastic, well done

My gym offers zumba classes but I don't really know what it involves. Can anyone give me a rough idea? Do you need to be pretty fit?

Hey thanks. I had a chicken and rice dish in the end and I couldn't eat all of it. I worked my butt off at the gym earlier in the day so I could enjoy my meal out in the evening having already burnt loads of kcals.

Im going to TGI Fridays tonight with the girls and have just checked out the menu which is all pretty high kcal looking. Ive never been before, any suggestions on what healthy options there are? Im doing well so far so but its still early days so don't want to break any good habits!!

wow an amazing start well done

wow well done you have done so well

I think that sometimes. I also hate when people tell me im fine as I am, however they are a size 8-10 and complaining that they look terrible. I also have a friend who is a size 6-8 and has on several occassions said that i could borrow her clothes and I found that a little insulting being a...

I have also wondered this. i tend to use diet drinks to help fill me up and stop cravings. I too have a drink to avoid having higher cal drinks and snacks. I guess they can make you quite bloated and the caffeine is not good either, but I think i'll still drink them for now as its helping my...
