Tried jogging last night but so uncomfortable with a huge belly swinging around. Don't get me wrong i feel great & much healthier for losing weight but its the practical issues of having excess skin/blubber that still affect me & always will i guess :(

Hi Sharon welcome to Minimins and well done on your 1st weeks loss really helps motivate you doesn't it :) x

Good to see this thread is still going well, does Rod still report in & keep everyone in order?

Here to say hi & offer moral support :) I started out last may with 11st to lose so understand only to well how daunting it can be. Minimins is a great site, full of friendly people facing the same challenges and I'm going to try my hardest to log in & post more because it really does help...

Wow time flies its been about six months since i last posted but I'm still plodding along. I managed to lose 7 & 1/2st in 2012 and I'm hoping to lose the remainder before summer arrives, assuming we get one this year of course! :)

Hey chief Bass, remember me?? I'm still a loser, 4st off so far :)

"Flumpless" ha ha love it :)

Wow I see the tough love thread is gathering pace. I'm loving the no nonsense replies you guys give :) I've been absent for a few weeks due to work & other commitments but still in the zone & I've lost another stone. I'm starting to feel the health benefits now & its a good feeling. I haven't...

Hello & thank you for your encouraging words, it all helps. Haven't logged in for awhile as work & life has been mad busy but I've shed another stone so all is going well :)

Conquering my food demons & eating to live rather than living to eat. This will be my hardest battle, until I've mastered it i know my appetite & total lack of self control will always hold me back from being the person I really want to be.

Well done KB, great loss :)

L is for losers (weight wise) :)

I'm still rocking 5lbs off this week :)

Sensible diet & LOTS of exercise paying off nicely, another 5lbs melted off this week although maybe it was sweated off its been that hot!! Being a fat lass & high temperatures not a good combo glad its cooled down a little today :)

You know the one, the song u keep listening to over & over again till ur sick of it :) Lovin this at the min: Walk off the Earth's version of Somebody That I Used To Know, its brill!

Just checking in -6lbs this week making a total of 19 off now to diet/exercise the other 135lbs off!! I'M SO DOING THIS :)

Hi i started out with 11stone to lose & after a great couple of weeks its now just over 9.5 so the weight can & does come off. Best thing to do is break it down into stages/mini goals & then it doesn't seem so un-doable. Good luck x

Thank you I've got a way to go yet but yes i am super chuffed with how well its going so far :) x

Thanks Pookie :)

6lbs off this week, that's 19 in total only 135 more to go!! I still can't quite believe i let myself get to this size without doing something about my escalating weight sooner. Still its a valuable lesson & I will never ever be this big again its all downwards from here :)

LOL :) I think my body went into complete shock what with all the exercise and change of diet, it was a great motivating start for me though and proved I can actually lose weight when I try :)

I watched it, reckon they should have called it "Deluded Eaters" instead! I think we're all guilty of eating way more than we actually realise or confess too though :(

Hi everyone, I started my weight loss journey last week with 11st to lose and after a week of healthy eating & doing more exercise than I've done in the past decade I've made a decent start & shed almost a stone much to my own amazement :) I've gone from a self confessed junk food gobbling...

Hi just thought I'd say hello and wish you luck. I tried the virtual gastric band a couple of years ago, i lost 250 pounds but unfortunately it was money not weight! However I know that it was down to my own bad habits & I think if I had of listened properly & followed the advice I was given it...

Congrats -6lbs is a fab loss :)

Aww, gee shucks I'm almost welling up (happy tears) but i will refrain from crying in the tough love section lol Thanks for your kind words I'm aiming to get an A every week now :)

Wow great post, thanks for sharing :) As you yourself know its tough when you first start out, you question whether you can actually do it & the little doubts creep in BUT reading your story & those of so many others confirms that it can be done, you just have to want it badly enough & be...

Thank you so much it really helps to have such a positive response, its very much appreciated :) x

V pleased to report i lost 13lbs in my 1st week, yes you read that correctly....13 whole pounds :) I hopped on & off the scales several times to check, double check & triple check lol Great start to my mission of losing 11st, onwards & downwards!

It's Posie flump, tut tut at not knowing your flumps lol:)

Hi Pookie just thought I would pop in & say hello, hope u don't mind. You're doing fantastically well & u may not know it but you very much help motivate others, myself included so keep up the good work :) x

Well done for resisting the urge to binge! I understand how hard it can be :( there was a time when I'd reach for the nearest bag of crisps or grab the biscuit barrel but now I snack on carrot batons or sliced peppers, my oh my how things change lol I too am experiencing real hunger for the...

Morning Rod, have ditched the 'fat' as instructed. Had an ace on plan weekend so I'm hoping for a good 1st week loss 2moro :)

Just popping in to say hello & wish you well. Sounds like you're very much in the zone & will achieve all your weight loss goals :)

Oh jeez i realise now that i made it sound like he's gone for good & I'd have to fight tooth & nail to get him back, me and my big mouth lol

Oh indeed, I'm highly honoured :)

I'm not following any specific diet plan as such. With the help of a nutritionist I've had a plan devised for me which includes cutting out all processed sugary foods & only eating foods that are fresh so plenty of fruit, vegetables & lean meat. I guess its the common sense approach for most...

We all have our own opinions & beliefs & are free to air them :)

To everyone who has read/made comment so far you will note I have edited the title of my thread. On reflection it wasn't the wisest of things to name it so its gone, pity i can't get rid of the 11st to lose so easily lol :)

Not yet, i should really start a diary of some description will hopefully get round to it at the weekend :)

Wow thank you so much for all of your replies & comments, I assure you they're all being taken on board & will very much help in my quest to rid myself of this excess weight x

In subtle ways i think he tried, i just wasn't wanting to hear or i just plain ignored the signs.

Wow your doing brilliantly, well done :) and your right WE CAN all do this!! x

Hello momomua :) I'd like to state first and foremost that I'm doing this for me. I need to lose this weight & adopt a healthier lifestyle that'll be for life not just the next however many months it takes to get down to a sensible weight. I think that now I've accepted this & committed to a...

Hi lisajade :) I feel kinda bad for writing that now it makes my hubby sound very callous which he really isn't. He didn't say he finds my body repulsive that's my view of myself, he said he was tired of watching me constantly stuffing my face with junk and then complaining cos I'm so fat...

Twelve months?? I plan to bug u every week & have u eating your words mister, just u wait & see :)

Ooo I'm loving the Foxy-Flump idea :) Rod really is TOUGH!! Think I've been well & truly kicked into touch lol

*%#@$*!!!!!! is all i have to say to that....pick on the fat lass why don'tcha LOL

When I've shed a few stone I'll change it to slim flump but for the minute fat flump fits lol

Hi I would say your weight is about right for your height. You may be better off exercising to get rid of your tum & tone up everything else while your at it. I work with a lass who joined a gym & started swimming twice a week and within a few months her whole body shape had changed but her...

Hi k8slo There are many men out there who claim to love their oh's no matter what size they are but I believe the majority of them would like to see their oh's slimmer, healthier & happier they're just afraid to admit it. By telling us or leading us to believe they love us no matter our size...

Fat-Flump reporting for tough love boot camp!! I have 11 stones of lard to shift & tough love seems to be the only way that works for me :)

Yes you are!! If you've been on it 100% then u shouldn't have anything to worry about. We all know the scales can fluctuate & play games with our minds so forget about it & move on! There u go consider ur butt kicked, hope it helped :)

Hi Lfc :) I considered doing a vlcd but then decided to give healthier eating a try first & see how i get on. I'm cutting out all processed foods & anything with additives and will only be eating food that I've prepared myself so I'll know exactly what's in it! I have a wedding to attend at...

Hello everyone, My name is Maria, I'm 29 years old & grossly overweight :( When I got married in 2001 I was a slim size 10 and weighed 10st. In the 11 years since then i have managed to gain a stone a year & now weigh 21 stone. Of course i was aware i was getting bigger but i convinced...
