Today I am really struggling. I'm 21 and have roughly 100lbs to lose. It just seems impossible. I feel so embarrassed whenever i leave the house and I am failing everytime i try to do something about it. I don't like being fat, i don't like what it has done to my relationships with my boyfriend, family or friends. I had another heart breaking...

“You must do the thing you think you cannot do” Eleanor Roosevelt Until recently I was TERRIFIED of stepping on a step of scales. Always have been. From the time when I was a kid, when we had our annual medical, I had a phobia about weighing myself. And that continued until I decided to manage my weight. Now you can't keep me off the...

“There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.” Norwegian saying It’s getting colder and snow’s on the way. One thing’s for sure, I won’t be wearing sandles or flip flops outside any time soon (brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr). It’s like that in my current weight loss journey too. I’ve been more prepared...

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.' Lao Tzu I have been attending a weight management group since September and I've lost 10 kilos (22 pounds) I've also gained knowledge and one of things I've learnt is the following... Losing weight is a numbers game. It's about stepping on that scale to (hopefully...

Well, in all honesty, it has not been the best start of my weight-loss. Problem is I love food and I have, what seems to be, an enormous stomach. Now, I have a feeling it is because I have been in a bad habit of binge eating and eating junk. (DUH!) I remember when I was at my fittest, my stomach used to feel fuller after consuming much less food. Now...

So here I am at the start of my wieght-loss journey (again). It's a route I have tried to travel along before on my own, but this time I have the support of my boyfriend. I have been stuck at a pretty constant 100kg for a long time and it's way past time I got down to a healthy weight. I have noticed in the past that I can lose quite a bit of...

Hi All I dont really know where to start, I suppose this will get easier the more often that I post something. I guess I'll go from the start. I am 28 years old, I work fulltime in a stressful job with the local council and live with my boyfriend. I am a size 22/24, my BMI is over 40 and I need to lose just under 8 stones to reach a healthy BMI...

I'm new to this as you will tell, so I'll start by telling you a bit about me. I'm 46 years old, 5ft 3" tall, size 24 top, size 22 bottoms and classed as morbidly obese. It's hard to remember now when I was last at my 'recommended' weight I think I was 18 or 19 and attending a keepfit class twice a week. I also went down...

I am 27 years old and a mom to my 3 year old Daughter. As a child and teenager I was blessed with what some people would call a perfect figure (although I never appreciated it at the time). I was tall and very slim. Just before my 18th birthday four friends were killed in a tragic car accident and this started my rollercoaster of emotional eating. I...

This last week I have kept a food, drink and exercise diary as I planned. I bought a little notebook to use just for this purpose and I write down everything. I am proud of myself and I think I have every reason to be, as things aren't going too badly. Apart from exercise - but I am getting some help from a physiotherapist, as I have a problem with...

Hello all. I've had a break, not because I went on holiday, it is because it is half-term. This week we are spending it together and next week he'll be with his dad. Anyway let me get to my issue. I am in to my 4th month of exercise and healthy eating and now feel that I know what my body can and cannot tolerate. My weight is now at a stand...

...Writing a blog that is! Okay, I'm Amy. I'm almost 24; I'm 5 feet 2 inches tall and (insert sharp intake of breath here) hovering around 18 stone. I don't really have any excuses for this, basically I love food and I don't exercise enough but on the other hand I don't see myself as fat. Don't get me wrong I'm under...
