I'm at 15st5 at the minute, been bobbing along at the same weight for over a month now though.

I'm finally here!

I'm 27 and have a lot of stretched skin I'm so worried about the end result. I know our NHS offers surgery if you get to a BMI of 28 but I don't know what other requirements there are, for example I haven't been weighed at the doctors since I was 16, so would they want a starting point so they...

I saw 15 st the other day! Complete anomaly I think as the following day I was back to 16stone 2

Down to 16st 2 today, hoping to get a bit off before Christmas so I can enjoy myself.

Well done ladyjo!

Oooh Nina you'll be leaving us soon by the looks of your "currently" !! I'm down to 16st5lbs this week, had a bad week last week and put 2lbs on! But it's come off this week.

Yes first assignment is due next week :) It's not my first module with OU, apologies if I have offended anyone with my original post, was just hoping to chat with other OUers.

Ahh I just feel rather alone with it all, I'm in a Facebook group but you get jobsworth saying "you can't talk about that it's collusion" and you end up feel more alone hehe. I keep going back to it though so I can't dislike it that much.

Welcome Jo! Congrats on your first stone. I'm having a disheartening week, haven't lost anything despite sticking to calories.

Think I may have to resume this as weight won't go away with calorie counting only!

Well done for being strong!!

I think number 4, you look great!

Like you I'm self-conscious of going places alone so sometimes I put off going swimming because I have no one to go with :/ really need to get over that! I too use MFP but am eating 1450 a day so I've got somewhere to drop to if I plateau.

I started The Sealed Letter by Emma Donoghue yesterday but didn't get very far as was at work!

Oh what are you wanting to study? :D

Hi I'm fairly new but always looking for new friends :)

That's interesting reading Sunny. I don't drink alcohol much any ways but it always annoys me there's no calorie count on the side of it!

Hoping to get a BMI of 30 which was 13st4lbs and once I get there I can think of a new goal. What about you?

I think mine has been slow because I haven't been at work, back tomorrow though so will start running around after the children! I'm in Washington :D

Oh Nina I've just seen you're from Tyne and Wear, as am I! :) Well done on losing the weight!

I've been on them 4 days now and have lost 2.5lbs, not bad :)

A couple of free books I read this year were by Rosen Trevithick. Her's seem to cycle between being free and having slight charges but I definitely recommend them for a short story read :)

Marley and me

At 1200 its best to be over otherwise you risk going into starvation mode. I'm trying 1450 so I have room to be under ... But that rarely happens :D

Give it a second chance perhaps! Thanks for the welcome Everhopeful :D

Any one else foolish enough to study at the OU? Just started SK277!

Hiya! I had two with lunch as I went to a carvery, I may end up only having 4 again today. I'm also from the NE :D

I'm a bit confused about this, I just used a calculator and took all my measurements and said I was 28% which was acceptable, but I rather think I'm quite wobbly and fat and should be in the obese category :S

I primarily use MFP to record my eating but if I put it here, least you lot can tell me off if I eat something naughty! I started off on 1200 but it wasn't maintainable after eating 2200 so I've upped it to 1450 and still manage to go over most days, gah! 2nd Nov '12 B - 2 x small banana's...

I've just reduced my calorie intake down to 1400, trying to exercise more (and failing!)

Definitely! Although I'm calorie counting, but it'll be nice to have someone to go along with :D

I think the problem of doing your own low calorie diet is that you go into starvation mode so your body keeps a hold of everything you eat. Good luck for CD !

Wow well done! Can I steal some of your willpower?!

Argh when we had sky I could waste whole days watching the UK food channel. Food network isn't too bad, but there's only so much Ina Garten I can take!

I can't get on with Jodi Picoult really, but I did enjoy Plain Truth (moreso because the Amish way of life interests me)

Cassandra Clare's books didn't enthral me at all! I think I gave up by book 3 of the City of books. I enjoyed Delirium by Lauren Oliver and Wither by Lauren DeStefano. Has any one read the Gone series by Michael Grant?

I'm losing weight as I want to start trying for a baby and will have to go down the clinical route of IUI and of course it's all about the BMI :rolleyes:

I just watched The Others :)

I loved The Other Boleyn Girl and The Boleyn Inheritance, have her others on my to read list.

Well done on completing last year! I tried last year and gave up after about 8k. Not sure if I'll do it this year as I've got an OU TMA due at the end of the month :/

I started this a few weeks ago and completed week 1 and 2 with no problems but week 3 really threw me, so might repeat week 2 again.

Hi, I received my first box this morning and have had four today (haven't been eating too much fat today!), I am using MFP to count calories and have had 1400 calories today. Hoping it'll help get me back on track after a bad few weeks! EDIT: Also wanted to ask, if any one else is calorie...
