Going to start writing everything down that i eat and drink and rather than following a set plan (previously tried all sorts of diets and fads) I'm Just going to stick to plain old...

First of all apologies to those that read this, I have no idea how much I'm going to write or just how honest I can be. But feel the need to let it out. well where to begin. I've not been on here in a long time. In a few short hours I turn 30, which is quite a scary thought for me and I can...

for me its slimming world, You'll be amazed at just how much you can eat and still loose weight! there's lots of groups around Nottingham, only been to two different groups (due to shift work) and found the consultants to be lovely and the groups really really welcoming, we have a good laugh and...

dont beat your self up about it mate, Im sure with the exercise you put in and the rest of the diet you will still see a loss come Monday. I had a bad day as well today couldnt resist freshly baked out the oven cheese scones, 3 scones later i felt so pissed at myself, but damn they were good.

that sounds sooooo good, me thinks i will have that tomorrow, Tonight is a grilled chicken salad, and sugar free lime jelly for dessert. i have a real craving for key lime pie today though :mad:

Dont think like that chick, these people would have more than likely made comments regardless wether it be aimmed at you or some one else, because thats the type of person they are, insecure bullys keep smiling

Hi Lou, I would love to enter, but like yourself no one will enter it with me. Im 28 from nottingham and have around half my body weight to loose. for me personally the prize money is nothing in comparison to the chance to really change your life in such an amazing enviroment.

James once again you are truly doing amazing. You clearly have the determination succeed. Good luck

I agree, its a release, hell keeping things bottled up inside is one of the many reasons many of us have over indulged and comfort ate.

Hi Boggins, Im afraid i cant help you much as ive only just started working on the "new me". but my scales have already been hidden from me, only brought them on Monday (the old ones would tell me to "get off fatty") so they have been hidden from me and are only to return on weigh in day! it...

Im really scared and nervous about going to a gym, although i admit i do need it as it would help me. but im worried about all the "beautiful people" and the "look at me look at me" types. i know its my own insecurities, and the chances are most people wouldnt care about the 25 stone fat man...

Hi guys, Just a quick question really, could any one recommend any exercise equipment, treadmill, exercise bike, rowing machine etc. I’m really heavy 25 stone mark and don’t fancy the Gym at all, I’m walking two miles a day but would love to have a treadmill or something similar at home...

not many new shows do it for me at the minute. but my favorites are Prison Break The West Wing (love love this show) Survivors (70's version not the remake) The Apprentice, and really getting into a new Show thats just started in the states called Suits, its really good.

Oh god where to begin, I think I’ve forgotten or blanked out most of the comments and names. A locum Dr who was standing in for my GP once asked me if “my balls had dropped” (i was 17 at the time) when i said of course they had I’d gone through puberty years ago, he said “oh its not puppy fat...

My GP is normally fantastic, had the same DR since I was a year old so he’s known me for 27 years, I’ve only ever seen the one Dr as its only him at the surgery (unusual in a city) went to him in march because I had been falling asleep after meals (regards of meal size etc) he gave me a full...

Hope you all don’t mind me posting, first week of the new me! went to get a new set of scales today (old ones would swear at me and tell me to get off fatty, only not so polite) scales were a bargain at Lidl of all places, any way today i weigh 354lbs, I’ve lost 8lbs in a week ! i am over the moon
