That's great Hun! I've not noticed much of a difference to be honest. But I'm hopeful :-) x

It sure does! I keep meaning to measure myself but keep forgetting. Hopefully I'm losing inches too :)

So just weighed in and lost 1lb again. Not great but at least it's a loss! I've felt every pound of my weight this weekend. Went out with my skinny mates, which obviously highlights how big I am, none if my 'going out' clothes fit me anymore so had to buy something new, when I was dancing I...

Aw Lou! I agree with everything cat just said! Is there anyone you can talk with? There are organisations around where I live that offer 6 weeks free counselling either 1:1 or in group sessions. Maybe ask your gp if they have anything similar around where u are? I really hope you feel better...

Yep defo! :)

See every cloud has a silver lining :-) I have a booze filled weekend coming up this weekend! I'm just going to enjoy it then get bk on plan :)

Hey Hun. I'm ok thanks, how are you? I've had a lot going on in my personal life so I'm afraid I haven't been as good as I could have been and I haven't been on here in what feels like ages! But I hope that's all behind me know and I'm back on track now. Hood you're ok? Have I missed much? X

Get better soon Lou!!! Well done on being fab with the good side of things! You are smashing it :-)

Aw bless ya Hun! That's a lot of infections!!! Can I ask what your urologist has suggested? I only ask as my friend had recurrent kidney infections and kidney stones. Any suggestions would be great :-) Have all yours cleared up now? Hope so!

Oh no Hun! That's no fun at all! Hope you feel better soon! Cystitis is horrible! Yay to the great diet part :-) Meant to say, cheers for the simply be code! I'm defo gonna use that (after pay day lol). I begrudge buying clothes at the size I am now but I can't keep wearing the same stuff...

Bless ya Hun. Totm is not fun! All bloated and binging! I can fully relate. I have PCOS and other gynae issues! It's a right pain! Plus like you say it makes you want to eat. Dunno if it's a hormonal response or if it's a comfort thing?! Either way it's a hindrance! Hope you're ok? That walk...

Fab loss Hun!! :-)

Must admit I love MFP too! I recently put in a load of recipes so it's much quicker to add to my diary now. Like you say Hun you had a good time and enjoyed yourself but then got straight back on it. Can't say fairer than that at Xmas time! It's there to be enjoyed! 6 weeks will fly by and...

Hey ladies. Thanks for the messages! I'm ok thank you. Just had a crazy busy week back at work and I'm still full of cold. But fear not I'm still being good! I can't eat and breathe at the same time so it acts as a great deterrent lol! How's everyone? All good I hope x

Haha it's your ringtone! You're officially the no.1 fan :) love it! It's a good tune to be fair! I was always too impatient to watch it tho & I usually skipped the theme tune lol. Right I'm off to bed Hun. But I'll let u know when I'm bk into it. Which will be v soon I'm sure :) enjoy...

It didn't dawn on me that it was him to start with. Till I heard all the whispers from the other guests. He seemed a sound enough guy, he was with his gf, apparently she's an actress too. He only spoke to me to ask me to move out of their family photo coz I'd photobombed it by accident haha...

Lol I actually get the fancying angel thing. He's so cute bless him lol. Quinn was hot in his first couple of seasons but got to look like sketetor las it went on lol! Haha oh yeah that was funny in the warehouse with the dentist! I secretly hoped lumen & dexter would stay together :) I...

Defo feeling the love in here! How refreshing to hear nothing but support and best wishes for everyone! No matter what amount we have to lose or how we are losing it, we are a team!... A fabulous team :) x

Aw Hun. Sounds like you have had a real time of it! I hope they can remove it for you! I often used to consider asking my GP for a gastric band referral. But like u say it's all about habits and changing your mindset! I hope it's all sorted for you soon Hun. Well done on keeping so positive...

Yeah I have heard of them. A girl at work used to get then. They used to look nice. X

Lol that's so true. It's 50/50 with men & women where I work but well all love a biscuit or cake break lol! Gonna take some grapes & nuts to nibble on tomorrow to curb my appetite. Well done on your exercise today Hun! Great burn :)

Good plan on the leftovers. Coz I'm single I often try to make a couple of meals out of my cooking. Makes it seem a bit more worthwhile :)

Wow that video clip is amazing!!! She looks fabulous! What a brilliant achievement. Just hoes to show it can be done!

Ooh interesting. Keep us informed :) Have you had a gastric band Jayde? How's it all going?

Lol cheers hunny! :) Today I've mainly been coughing lol but when I have eaten I had porridge & honey for breakfast and lunch was smoked salmon on crackers. Planning to have homemade shepherds pie & veg for tea if I can be bothered cooking it! I'm bk at work tomorrow. First day back since...

Thank you for your advice! You were spot on! I've averaged at 2400 per day and it's going well so far. Not had wi yet but feeling positive! I totally agree with making little changed first. That's why I'm focussing on the good side of things to start with before tackling exercise too. Thanks...

So day 2 yesterday went well too :) was under my cals and stuck to my meal plan :) Today I seem to have come down with a chesty cough so not very hungry. Breakfast might have to wait a bit whilst I head back to bed! Happy Saturday everyone!

Lol I think I must have be too focused on the food in the past to notice hot guys in the shops lol! But now I've got my strict shopping lists I can check them out a bit more! :) Good advice Hun lol

haha nope, no handsome men unfortunately! I'm still looking for one of those :) x

you're spot on! When I used to go to the gym and workout like a crazy person I often used to think, 'all that just to burn off a snickers' lol! but it defo acts as a deterrent. wow you are vey active! that's great! fingers crossed the new place is as good as you hear it is :)

Haha I like that! :D Cheers Hun! How are you today? Xx

What gorgeous pics! Looks a lovely day Hun! You and joe make a lovely couple! Congrats again xx

Day 2 is going to involved going shopping and stocking up on healthy foods! I need to plan some meals and make my shopping list! I know it prob makes me a loser, but I'm excited to plan my meals lol!

Ooh sounds like you have had a fantastic December! As long as you've enjoyed it don't beat yourself up about any gain! You will soon lose it again! It's not ridiculous! I think a dream body sounds good! I would want the same :) I bet your back where you were by the end of jan! Plus it's good...

Bonus :-) x

Very wise words!! Lol my body would defo be asking 'where's the pizza' before too long! I've just completed my mfp diary and I had 2089cals today and I'm full! Great to know I had over 300csls left to play with (and that's before exercise) How you getting on? How much are you wanting to lose...

Looks lovely Hun! Love the colour! Great motivation too! You'll be out and about by your bday I'm sure! Just take it one day at a time! :-)

Ah maybe that was it! I'll have another tinker with it lol! Sorry for the silly questions lol! I'm just so desperate to get it right this time! Thanks Hun! Xx

Hi all! Happy new year! Just a quick question. I've just reset all my stats on mfp as I have regained a lot of the weight I had lost, and now it's saying my daily cals should be 2800. That seems a lot? I just wondered what others thought? Is that too much or am I way out with my calculations...

Just a quick question. I've just reset all my stats on mfp and now it's saying daily cals of 2800. That seems a lot? I just wondered what you thought? Is that too much or am I way out with my calculations? :) thanks

Hi Lou! Happy new year! Glad to see you are feeling more positive. How funny that we started around the same time a couple of years ago then fell off the wagon and are both now back on it! I'm sorry to hear you have been having a rough time of it but so pleased you are feeling positive and...

My New Years resolution (well one of them lol) is to start having breakfast! I've got some great ideas from this thread! Going to buy some porridge, yogurt & honey today :-)

Hello and Happy New Year Everyone!! :) I wish I could say I'm new on here but I wrote a similar thread back in 2012 and unfortunately I've regained the bit of weight I lost since then and I've not been on here in ages and ages! I used to love coming on here and found it incredibly inspiring...

Hi chezz. I'm ok but I must admit I've not been great food wise. I'm good and bad at the same time. One meal I make the right choice the next I don't. It's annoying!!! I want a few days in a row being 100% to see if that kick starts me! How are you Hun? Xx

Hi Joanne! Well done on your loss!! 6lbs is fab! Breaking it down into smaller targets is defo the way to go! Otherwise it seems impossible...but it's not! You will get lots of support on this site! Ive found it very useful! How have you got on this week? Hope all is well & good luck for...

Hi Natty! Wow Hun!! Well done on your amazing loss so far!! That's fab!! What does TFR involve? I'm defo on a similar journey! I have 12 months till I'm 30 and I neeeeed to shift as much of this flubber as possible!! Have u noticed a difference in yourself since losing the weight u have so...

I think I might move my wi day to Monday. To keep me on track over the weekends!...starting first thing tomorrow morn :)

Hey Chezz! U ok Hun? X

I went out with friends to an all you can eat Chinese place. It was delish but verrry naughty! Must be extra good today!!

EXACTLY :) xxx

Hi Hun! I so know what you mean! All this extra weight definitely takes its toll. But you are doing something about it & having your children (and you) as an incentive will spur you on :) What plan are you following? I'm cal counting. All the best Hun! Xx

Defo a step in the right direction!! Well done x

Yeah it's not very nice at all! I remember all the hurtful things said to me over the years! Not sure why big people have become second class citizens to some people?! Ah well! Like someone once told me on here... At least We are doing something positive about our weight, the people that call...

That's awful!! Like u say some people actually go out of there way to be mean! I just don't get it!!! Hope he wasn't too upset by it...they aren't worth it!! Xx

You said it Hun!! They sure are!! And like u day they aren't worth our time! I just don't get why they do it? I wouldn't dream of shouting rude comments at someone. But I guess that's because I'm a decent human being :) Thanks luv! Appreciate your kind words!! Xx

Also... I didn't want to be negative but I can't wait till I can go out for a drink with friends and not be stared at, pointed at, laughed at & verbally abused by drunken tossers! I went out for my bday over the weekend & every bar we went into someone (mainly drunken men) made a comment about...

right its official!!! I am now 29 years old and I have just under a year to lose as much weight as I can before my 30th!! im going to aim for between 8 - 10 stone! this is very optimistic I know but if I am 100% and really focus on my goal I think I can achieve it! I reeeeeally hope so anyway! x

Welcome back Hun! Don't fret about it! These things happen! The main thing is you're back on track :) Lots of good luck for ur wi!!! Xx

Fantastic!!!!! Keep up the good work x

Hi! I've lost (again gained) 4 stone but I yo-yo so I'm losing the weight I re-gained. I'm hoping to lose 8 stone by this time next year! If I stick at it and stop yoyoing I think it's achievable! What diet r u following? X

Have a fab holiday Hun!!! Enjoy it :) xx

Thank you ladies! Hope you're getting on ok?! X

Hey everyone! Sorry I've not been on much, had a busy weekend! I had a great weekend thanks purple :) I've been to a birthday party, a christening & a girlie shopping (well window shopping) day lol! Have u been up to much? Hope you guys are all ok? Any weekend losses to report? I'd lost...

Hi Hun! I'm good thanks. How Are you? U had a good weekend? They go soooo quick don't they lol xx

Eeek so close! Well done Hun :)

Right today's plan of action is: B - branflakes, dried fruit & semi skimmed milk L - tuna wrap D - chicken, cous cous & roasted veg Ex - dog walk & 30DS dvd :) xx

Aw hope u feel better & more rested soon! Try to fit in some 'me time' if you can. Even 10 mins works wonders sometimes :)

You can do it Hun! How Are you finding SW? I've heard good things about it x

I use a low fat recipe. I don't do measurements tho I'm afraid. I just chuck stuff in till it tastes good lol! I put milk in a pan and simmer it. I add lots and lots of chopped mushrooms (any kind you like or a mixture). I leave them to boil/simmer. I add chopped garlic (I use two cloves but it...

It was yum (even if I say so myself) lol x

Right so today's plan is as follows: B - branflakes, dried fruit & Semi skimmed milk L - homemade mushroom soup & bread roll D - jacket potato with leftover chilli Snacks - fruit, yogurt &/or crackers Ex - dog walk & 30 day shred dvd Hope we all have a good day :) xx

You can do it Hun!!! Just think how good it will be to start 2014 at least 2 stone lighter :-) xx

I think we can defo do 2lbs a week :) It certainly is scary to think Xmas is only 15weeks...it will be here b4 you know it! My local supermarket is stocked up with Xmas stuff already lol! X

This turning 30 malarkey is certainly a good incentive!! Lol! We can do this! I like dress idea to motivate you :) What diets/methods are you all using? I'm cal counting & trying to up my exercise! I've not been 100% so it's been a very slow process! I have to try harder...it's just a fact...

Just seen your thread hun! Just wanted to say a big well done again for your loss! We have very similar goals & the aim to lose weight b4 we hit 30 next year!!! WE CAN DO IT! Another weird similarity is I used to teach too! Small world :) ( i taught FS & KS1 tho...i cant imagine teaching...

That's awesome!!!!!!! Well done Hun! That's fab!! Keep up the hard work :) It's my 30th next sept...got 12 & a half months to shift as much flubber as I can lol! We will do it chickxx

Hiya Hun! Just read through some of your thread & wow!! Well done!! You are doing sooo well! I'm sorry to hear about your break up, hope you are ok?! Don't let it take you back to old habits. I've turned to food before after a break up & it just makes u feel worse in the long run! Good luck...

That's a good idea!!! I think that would defo be motivational! :) It just shows how the weight can creep on! I thought I was big a few years ago & now here I am stones heavier & I hardly noticed gaining it! It just creeps on a lb at a time so you don't notice until its too late! I have a...

I was looking through some photos earlier & you can see me getting bigger every year!! I can't wait till its the other way round and I start getting smaller!! Xx

Wow well done!!! That's amazing!! :)

Awesome walk!! Well gone chick xxx

Id not thought of it like that!! Lol! Here's to making positive changes!!! Every little helps as they say :) Xx

Lol does it? it didn't work for me last night either, i ended up having some crackers! It was really nice!! I've tried it with vanilla yogurt too & that was nice coz sometimes Greek yogurt can be a bit sharp. I also stewed some strawberries to make a sauce to put on it & that was yum :)
