Wow, I just loved your 100 reasons list! So inspiring and I can relate to almost every single reason. Helped remind myself why I need to kick my ass into gear again. Your weight loss so far is brilliant, well done! :-)

Thanks a mil! I just have to keep posting I think to try and stay focused. Day 1 going well so far. Going to spend the eve reading up online.

Hi all, I've been a long time reader of minimins but very rarely post but decided that I need to to keep myself on track and I'm hoping that doing so regularly will help me and others a little. My background is that I'm 27 years old and been overweight for as long as I can remember (definitely...

Hello, I'm a long time reader of minimins but I barely ever reply or comment. I've been so inspired by your journey and have been reading your thread all along and finally signed up for slimming world last night, because of your success so far! Had to do the online option as there isn't any...

Well done you! I'm the exact same weight & height as you at the moment and finding it v tough to lose any more! I don't post that much on here but love reading all the threads....good luck! :-)

Not much of a poster on this but I read a lot of threads, just read yours from the very beginning and it's amazing....well done on your amazing weight loss so far!! You have some serious willpower and I'm really looking forward to keeping up to date on your journey. I don't know how you do it...

I've been following your diary and your results are amazing so far. I started at 22 stone myself but been stuc around 18.5 stone for ages so need to keep going. DO you feel better/lighter/healthier already? I've lost about 50lbs but to be honest I still can't see a difference!

Thanks for the replies. Obviously my whole body bothers me but my legs just really get me down! I dream of the day I can wear a skirt aboive my knee!

Still hanging in there.... haven't weighed myself but my clothes are feeling looser which is something guess. Had a cheat day yesterday :-( but back on track today!

Thanks for the reply. Not sure if I'll make 10lbs but hopefully will make a good dent in it anyway! I'm trying to stick with low cal at the moment as I really want to try get back in to decent healthy eating but once I've done well for a few weeks, happy to try something else. Definitely...

Thanks for the reply!

Hi everyone, Not sure if this is the correct area to post this. I'm losing weight at the moment although not as fast as I'd like. My stats are as follows: age 27, 255lbs, 5ft 9, have been overweight since childhood. Highest weight was 305lbs and lost 50lbs about a year ago but have stalled...

I'm back AGAIN. I want to start posting regularly and have more time on my hands now so I will try to. I wish I was coming back to say that I have had an amazing loss in the past few months but I havent. :-( I weighed myself on Saturday and I was 256lbs which is the same as I was back in...

So disappointed in myself for being so lax lately and although I haven't gained my losses have been tiny given they are over such a long period of time. Well I spent the morning reading over threads on here for inspiration, made a healthy shopping list for the week ahead. Bring on my next...

And........I'm back. I can't believe my last post was August 2012 which was 18months ago. Bad news is I was cringing while reading back on my last post as I haven't gotten anywhere near my goals. I've basically hovered around the same weight and weigh 256lbs at the moment which is the lowest...

Couldnt resist stepping on the scales today as was losing motivation. Weighed 266.8lbs which is good but its probably water weight. Anyway, will keep you posted , trying my best to be back on the wagon now, have healthy food in the house etc so full steam ahead hopefully!

I'm back.....at last! I've been so busy and eating badly for the past few weeks but enough is enough! I'm not as bad as I was in fact I don't think I ever will be thank god, but I'm not eating well and it scares me. I haven't been scoffing dominos like in the past but this weekend was...

Weighed in at 270lb, so to be honest I thought my gain would have been more but at least it didnt get any more out of control.......hmmmm. Hope I get back on track asap!

Hello again! Im back from the dead....have had a crazy few weeks what with moving city and starting a new job etc and thought it was time to get back on track! My diet has been ok-ish, not great but have really found myself slipping the last 5 days or so...have basically been eating crap...

Hello again! Im having a lazy day at home today so am reading a lot of the threads on here and hoping for some inspiration....some amazing stories on here, there really is! Am doing ok I think since yesterday, going to be in the 18's when I weigh in next Wednesday, fingers crossed....aaaah...

Weighed in at 267lbs this morning :) The only way is down! Have clothes to slim into anyway too so I'm officially on a mission!

Happy Tuesday everyone :) Im going to keep trying my best to log on here every day or two and write even if nobody is reading! Im weighing in tomorrow and feeling confident that I can at least lose 1 or 2 lbs. Will be delighted if I do. Went shopping on Sunday as Im starting a new job next...

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well! Havent weighed in this week as have been pretty busy (got a new job in a new city so househunting!) Will involve a bit of walking too, to and from work which is good! Well bad for my hair and make-up in the morns but good for me! :o Anyway, I didn't...

Hey! Thanks for the vote of confidence...I'm actually breaking it down in 10's in my own head here so every 10lbs is a marker for me...when I get to 260/259 it will be the next one, whenever that will be! Well done on your own loss :)

Hello again. Hope ye're all doing well. Havent posted in about two weeks as I'v had a really rough time lately for various reasons. Am out of work for the past month and have had to move home and don't have a good relationship at all with my father so it's not a very nice environment Im stuck in...

Hey :) Very glad to see someone comment on it, keeps me going that somebody is reading this! Anyway, silence on this generally means things arent going good. WI at 272lbs this week so I have gained a little bit. Dont know whats been happening lately with me but I knew it was happening and I...

Hello again, havent posted in the past few days...been crzy busy applying for jobs and the like. Interview tomorrow...feel so unprepared and had to go out and buy a suit...got a size 18 blazer in dorothy perkins :) but the pants are a evans size 18 which are v generous....although a few months...

OMG....45 lbs in 3mths is actually AMAZING.....well done :) I must have a read at your diary. I know I need to excercise but Iv outlined my stance on it...want to wait until Im a bit lighter...just so embarrased at the moment...silly I know. Anyway, bought myself a new pair of trainers yesterday...

Wow, Im sure you will get to your goal anyway, you are doing brill! :) He is so right, it really is as simple as eat less, move more. My exercise is basically non-existant at the moment...it's so stupid but I wouldnt go near a gym until Im about 15 stone...I'm just too self concious and...

Such a brill feeling, today I tried on this fab dress that I got in Coast for my 21st birthday,it's a size 18 although a small fit. Anyway, it almost zipped up on me which is a great success cos tried it on last year and I nearly burst it! I figure with another stone off at the most, that it...

:( STS as I was 3 days ago, 270.8 lbs /19.5. Im not too surprised but would have been delighted to see the scale go to the 260's. To be honest, I am disappointed but only with myself cos I know where I'v gone wrong, when I eat crap, it's reflected fairly fast on the scales......a great lesson to...

Thanks for the support guys! We WILL get there...have to keep repeating that mantra! Weighing myself tomorrow and nervous as hell. I feel like I havent been as good as I was previously in these last two weeks. I need to cop on and stop taking biscuits when offered and I even drank a can of...

Eeeeekkkk....my weight loss journey is really on my mind today. I guess its cos I saw a few friends that I hadnt seen in ages last night and I felt better than I have in a while. People that read this probably think I'm crazy when I say that cos for gods sake I'm still 19 and a half stone which...

Thanks a mil, happy to be going in the right direction at least thank god. Beginning to see a tiny bit of a difference in myself. Went on a night out last night and wore a skirt that wouldnt zip up on me two months ago :) What's scary is that while I'v lost over two stone, there's not much of a...

Been so bad as posting lately but have a lot going on. Was let go from work along with a few more people...we were only on 12 mth contracts and basically knew it wasnt going to be renewed as things are gone v quiet but still. Realisation that I'm unemployed again sucks terribly. Also might have...

Lost 1lb...bringing me to 19st8....meh. Thought I'd at least lose 2, I guess it shows me not to let my cheat day ruin my week. Did go mad to be fair.....aiming for 3lbs by next Wednesday to bring me to 19.5 :(

Eeeeek. Am 100% back on track anyway since my disaster of a weekend 1300 cals yesterday and today and plan to stick that way for the week. Weigh in tomorrow morn and feeling v scared though :( Have a bad feeling I did some damage. My clothes feel loose but I just hope it's reflected on the...

Back on track 100% today thankfully! Have everything that I'm eating for the week planned out so hopefully it will be a good week. Still nervous of WI on Weds though cos I know I made a pig of myself Sat and Sun! :O

Eeek....hope we all get there! :) I'v started a thread over on the Weight Loss Diary section, so that's where I'll be posting my ranting and ravings from now on :) http://www.minimins.com/weight-loss-diary/272165-2stgone-over-8-go-oh-emma-how-did-you-let-happen.html

Thanks for the vote of confidence everyone, I really can't emphasise enough how brill I find this forum. Was away for the weekend at a friends place, was out Saturday night and had a good few vodkas! :O And today....well, I won't even get into it really but I do tend to allow myself a cheat...

Meant to add that my Weigh In day is going to be Wednesday but I tend to weigh myself 2/3 times a week anyway even though I know I shouldnt! Heading off to a friends tomorrow until Sun evening and going to be surrounded by temptation. Will be heading for a night out and I'm going to stick to...

Aw thanks for the vote of confidence guys! Really , really trying my best. It just HAS to happen. Everyone on here is so kind, I'm hopefully gonna do even half as well as ye all x

Thanks guys! Not 100% sure how to work this properly yet so my replies are probably all over the place! Not following any specific plan just calorie counting. Aiming for 1350-1500 cals per day. Im hoping to lose 202.5lbs per week at the moment. Is this too high for that weight loss with no...

Aw thanks a mil hun, really gonna try use the forums as much as possible to keep me on track, hope you're doing great too x

Hi Annie, thanks for the welcome! Wow, that's an amazing achievement and if you've done it once, you at least know that it is possible and I'm sure you'll be able to do it again. I'm have the same train of thought as you, with regards this being the last time...this it IT for me too, no turning...
