    I hope everybody had a wonderful xmas. I am back on the healthy eating and exercise from today. The last couple of weeks have finally caught up, I weighted myself this morning and was shocked, I hope it's just water retention. I will disclose the damage on Wed.

    I think I'm starting to get sick again, I have colitis. So I'm going to up my meds to try and nip this in the bud incase things get worst. Although when I get sick some of the symptons are loss of appetite and weight loss (at one point I was only 7 stone) but then the docs would put me on steroids which make me blow up like a balloon, which is how I got this big in the first place.

    Have a lovely boxing day everyone

    Hello everyone,

    Just popping in to say a quick hello and ask how the festivities went :D I haven't been on this thread for ages (?3 months or maybe more?) :eek:

    I was lurking for a bit and was reading the posts daily as had nothing to contribute. There were posts with, "Where's Eric? Where's Victory?" etc etc but not one person asked "Where's Matryoshka"? :rotfl::rotfl:It made me realise I was only surplus to requirements and perhaps not contributing to the thread so I stopped lurking altogether.

    I'm still doing turbofire (almost finished 20 weeks). Not that anyone is interested :p

    Anyway, wishing you all da best in the New Year. Back off to the competition forum :T

    Well I for one have missed you Matryoshka. You inspired me to start Turbofire - did two sessions and then I am afraid I gave up :o Downloaded Insanity a few days ago and am thinking of having this a try after the hols. Will be needing something drastic by then as I feel like I have done nothing but eat for the last 4 days - feeling sluggish and slightly ill now :eek:

    Hope you pop back in again from time to time - we need your energy and enthusiasm. :)

    Yes I'd like to second what Jess said, I have missed you, just cos we don't post and say it, we know when people are missing .

    I was in awe of how hard you worked out with your workouts.

    We all missed you both;);) sometimes though you lurk and not many people post so you go off to money saiving in marriages or the quick grabbit boards come back later, not many posters and then a week turns into a month and this is how it goes on, if you need me though PM me, never far away on mostly daily but like I say more on the grabbit or the marriage board or the xmas board, still on here but not so much this thread but read it all the time:D

    I have a BMI of 49 and need help - alot of help...
    Planning on starting a diet with my OH in the new year but he's nowhere near as overweight as me.
    Is anyone in the same boat (or been in the same boat) ?
    I have zilcho willpower :(
    I want a diet where I don't feel hungry, hopefully don't crave sweet things but don't feel I'm thinking about food ALL the time - does such a thing exist???
    You should never call somebody else a nerd or geek because everybody (even YOU !!!) is an
    "anorak" about something whether it's trains, computers, football, shoes or celebs :p :rotfl:

    Welcome to the thread.

    You'll find lots of advice here - and many of us have or have had a high BMI.

    What you need to do is to find a new way of eating that isn't a diet but a way of eating that can continue for ever.

    Willpower will come too - make sure you post on here regularly as that helps keep you focused and on track.
