My auntie has one, and I know she makes a lot of soups with hers :)

Tbh i'm not bad cooking some stuff, can make some pasta dishes and a few other things :) I guess a lot of it comes down to just being busy with studying and stuff, even though I know that's a rubbish excuse! I'm going to start trying to make a few more things though. Thanks for the advice :)

Well done hun :)

Aww that sounds horrible with the Slim Fast hun! I found my problem with it was I was just constantly hungry so I ended up having them then just eating loads on top which was just a waste of time and money! I've never been much good at cooking coz my mum and dad always cooked for me at home. I...

I have so many birthdays to deal with in the second half of the year, I can't even cope with thinking about Xmas yet! lol

I've got some Joe Browns stuff too, I really like it too! :)

Thanks for the kind words hun, that's really nice :) I've done mostly calorie counting before, but find it too easy to cheat when it comes to takeaways and snacking and stuff. That's my problem really, snacking and big portions of all the wrong stuff...which I guess is a pretty big problem lol...

Hiya everyone, So here I am, back again with my tail between my legs :( Despite all my good intentions in my first post, I never stuck to things and found it easier sticking my head in the sand and enjoying all the partying and food that uni has to offer, which unsurprisingly has led to even...

Hiya, welcome to the forum Jenn. Loads of good support here :) I'm just starting again today, and got a lot to lose too.

Welcome to the forum, there's loads of great people here who'll give you support :) I know what its like having so much weight to lose, so if you ever need to chat sometime just give me a shout

Just come back to uni, so gonna have a quiet one I think. Try and avoid the multitude of takeaways across the road! lol How about you?

i'm trying to do it on my own for now, and learn about healthy eating while i go, but i'm gonna see how it goes :) I'll have a look at the diaries :)

Thanks hun :) Easiest thing to do would be just bury my head in the sand and carry on I guess, but I can't keep doing it

Good luck hun :) I know what you mean about feeling unfit, you think you'll be able to walk far no problem then after a few minutes you're looking for somewhere to sit down and try and catch your breath lol

Hiya hun - I know how you feel, loads to lose myself. Good luck! :)

Hey again everyone! Well after all my good intentions, the diet never really got off the ground! So here I am ready to start properly (and after Christmas, sadly a stone heavier!!)

Hi hun :) I know what you mean about savoury stuff, but then I could eat cake all day too! I was never slim really, but when i got to like 14/15, it just really started going on quick. Would love to be buddies and help each other out! Do you have Msn messenger or anything?

Haha! They've started doing that with me too - how appalling! I know what you're saying about the health stuff, finding it such hard work walking round campus. Thanks for the advice hun :) it is hard with my mates as they don't really think i'm serious about losing weight - could do with a few...

Hi hun :) I know what you mean. To be honest, i'm wishing I tackled it at college! lol But I almost feel like its now or never with it, coz if I do another two and a half years the way I am, I don't know if i'd ever lose it. I'm just trying to do it by watching what I eat to start off with, I...

I think this is definitely true. My GP at home used to go on about it everytime I was there, whereas i've been to the doctor a couple of times since i've come to uni, and they did weigh me and comment on my weight, but not about my BMI. To be honest I always thought "yeah whatever" when my GP at...

Thanks hun! I've been reading lots on here today and you all seem like a lovely bunch :D

Aww thanks hun :) I'm not sure if it's maturity really, it's more that it scares me thinking what i'll be like by the time I finish uni if I carry on like this. I've always just thought with my weight "well its not that bad really, i'm not that big" but it was in college it really became a...

Oh we're so alike - carbs for me too! Absolutely adore pasta, could eat it all day lol

Thanks hun, I appreciate it! I know its going to be hard, I am a serious food lover! lol

Hi all! I'm new here, so hope it's ok for me to post on this forum. I'm Emily and i'm 18, and after so long with my head in the sand, I know I need to sort myself out. I've always been on the bigger side, but started to gain weight towards the end of school and really piled it on in college...
