I think growing 'comfortable' at being a certain weight is quite a typical thing. I don't mean comfortable as in being happy with yourself but, like you say, it becomes a barrier, something to wrap yourself up in and fade into the background. And when you've become so used to being one thing it...

Well, everything has been going fine! I've got a big weekend coming up. It's my birthday on Friday so we're going to an all you can eat restaurant on Friday night and then I'm having a party on Saturday night. I'm going into Birmingham today to see a friend and we'll be going to lunch...

Hi Barb! Good to see how positive you are. Family events are always the worst for eating too much! My family are real foodies so food plays a big part in social gatherings and what not. It's good that you're moving on and not beating yourself over the head with it - which is what I'd do...

We will get there in the end! I'm joining Weight Watchers when I get back to University in a couple of weeks but I wanted to start as soon as so I'm doing a kind of sketchy version of WW at the moment. The meetings are invaluable though, I think!

Hi Princess-Jader! We're about the same ageand have about the same amount of weight to lose so I thought I'd pop in and say hi and send some good vibes your way. Gaining is the toughest thing in the world, especially when you're working so hard, but stick at it - I'm confident you will start...

Hi Harleyboo! Good luck with your weight loss! What is the iPod app you're using called? Sounds useful!

Bit late to the party but hoping to lose 7lbs. Good luck everyone!

Hi Mitzi! I've done SW in the past and once you get your head around it all it's a pretty good diet! Good luck with your weight loss. I think it's incredibly good of you to turn down the surgery and the weight loss pills and decide to do this your way. :D

Thank you! So this is day one of the rest of my life. Wooohoo! Will post accountability at the end of the day. I've just been thinking about why all my attempts to lose weight for good have failed and I think it's because before I was lazy. I wanted a quick fix; I wanted to diet for a...

Thank you for all your lovely replies. I've been on WW before and lost a stone and a half when I was doing it the first time and then a stone when I joined again. Problem was going on holiday and going to university got in the way and I wasn't able to continue. BUT no excuses this time. It's...

Gosh, I could have written this post. I'm sending all the good vibes I can muster in your direction right now. Believe me when I say I know how you feel and I also know that you can find the strength to overcome all of these difficulties. I totally relate to the weight being linked to...

Hello! Welcome to my weight loss diary! The name's Charli and I weigh about 16st and I'm 21 years old this Friday. And I am so unhappy with myself. I have been a bit fat for my whole life - and by 'a bit fat' I mean a lot fat. I became conscious of my size at about...

Hiya! Thank you for the reply! I've made my peace with not drinking as much at university but I've figured it can only be good for me. I'm perfectly willing to have a sober night out if it means I can get one step closer to being size 10! I'm quite a driven and motivated person when...

So, I'm nearly 21 years old and 224lbs. Needless to say I feel disgusting. The worst part is I've been on a diet for the past six years and all I've done is gained. Since I'm starting my last year of university this month I've decided this is the last time I'm going to make this decision...
