Lubo/Sa1sysoo,

Its funny how should mention the 11stone mark as that is what I am now....dead on 11 stone.

I lost a bit of weight last year (tbh I have yo-yo'd between 10.9-11.7 for the past 3 years) and I always find to get under 11st a struggle.

Maybe we should egg each other on to get underneath that figure! I really really really want to get to 10.7 as my first target, but I think to loose another 1lb is going to be really hard as I have lost 4lb in 2 weeks and it gets harder....

Good luck guys xx

Hi All


My name is Lainie (Elaine) i'm a 32 yr old single parent of two , i recently started a weightloss support group on msn called The Fat Free Friends Club , i did this as i really need daily support and i posted it in here not thinking but after reading lots of the posts over the past few days i have realised that you are a very good support group and so if it is possible i would like to join.
Life had its ups and down as it does for all and without realising how it happened in a way(i know it was what i ate but i didnt realise how big i had gotten) Last year at this time i was in severe pain because of my weight , i was unable to walk to the kitchen before i was ready to collaspe and i started to live on takeaways etc. i refused to leave the house as i felt i was part of a freak show and the pain became unbareable , after a wake up call from my mam i started to cut down and move more , it is the hardest thing i have ever had to put myself through but i aslo new i had to do it as the other option was death which wasnt an option.
i built myself up everyday by walking a little further untill i could get to the gate and back and then the end of the street and back etc till eventually i started to go to the shops etc and yes people did stare and still do and sometimes they even make comment (look at the size of her etc) all through this time there was no where i could be weighed so what i did was you can buy extra long tape measure (mams idea) which goes to 120 inches instead of the standed 60 inches , i measured myself bust , waist , hips and thighs and every week thats what i did from the july last year to march this year i had lost a total of 48 inches i dont have a clue what that is in weight but it made the most amazing difference to my life even though i am still extremely obese , i am able to go shopping and 2 friends etc but the best thing was going to school to watch my daughters sports day where i had to stand for 50 mins and yes it hurt the last 15 mins but its something i could have never done before.
Anyway i went way of track for a while with the diet side of it and i new i needed to do something so in april i rang weightwatchers and they said there scales went up to 35stone so praying that i wasnt over that i went to the my first meeting , i stood on the scales with such hope and when she said 32stone 12lb i was so pleased it sounds really stupid saying that but i had visions of 38 stone plus and so i felt like i'd lost stones already which is a bonus start anyway i followed there core plan and up and till 3 weeks ago i had lost 1 stone 3lbs and was now 31st 9lbs , the reason i havnt been is because i can no longer afford it as it costs me £25 a week , £5 fee and £10 taxi there and back , i cannot get the bus as i dont fit bewteen the door and the central bar and its far to far to walk. I have just started paying off the debt i ate through in 3 takeaways aday plus etc from adsa online etc , i managed to go over on all my cards etc and of course they want it back so i am working through that slowly.
so this is why i need daily support , i can be fine for days and then the urge hits me it must be what a drug taker / alcholic feels like its an incredialbe need , must have and yet i give in to it and everytime i know it wil make me feel worse , so here i am again making a stand i have to learn its eat to live , not live to eat , i want my life back and i'm taking it with both hands , for a long time i thought i was worthless and some sort of evil monster because al i could see was the fat but now i know i am a nice person , i am worth it (dont sue me loreal) and i do love myself i dont like what i have done but i do forgive myself for it , whats done is done , its what i'm gonna do next that matters.

thankyou for listening i know it was a bit long

Take care all
i will be back in the morning with my measurements

The thing is, that now you now how to lose weight, if the worst happened and you had a slight gain, you just need to be strict with your intake for a few days and you'll lose it again. As you say, you can't possibly continue in the same vein for the rest of your life - you would carry on losing weight, and it's the obsessiveness that can turn into anorexia. I know from experience that people get very bored when someone is obsessive about what they eat and drink to the point that it affects their social life.

I've probably said this before, but it bears repeating - the more you deny yourself foods you like, the more you want them - so it really is about moderation and the willpower to stop at a small, healthy amount, whether it's chorizo or paella.

You are so right, I do know how to loose the weight , it is just my own personal fear of knowing when to stop as it were because I am or rather was (but maybe that is permanently inbuilt) a greedy person that did not know how or when or even want to know how to stop, hence the huge weight gain....

Denied foods take on this holy wonderful tasting, can't live without, dream about significance which when savoured is not the reality, it is more like you can't have them than want them:D

Rightly so my H is bored, bored bored with me yabbering on about calories and how we cannot possibly go out because...:rotfl: :rotfl: enough is enough, I have to draw up a better plan of food than this week 3 lb weight loss for no apparent reason;)

Welcome to all the newbies, you will have so much help and support on this thread you will see the pounds fall off, I know this thread works, it did for me;)

laine you are a nice person, you know you are, you are very welcome on this thread and no one will treat you with anything else than the respect, love, care and attention that you so deserve, don't let the negatives in, on here we work with positives, you will be fine , we are all here for you....

Morning all
Been away for work for 2 days (no internet access while away) so a lot to read up on. Welcome to all new members we seem to get a lot each week so must be a lot of us trying to loose weight.

Now I feel I did not do too badly while away there was the piece of birthday cake, the small pieces of caramel shortbread and carrot cake which was naughty but drinkswise quite good.

Went out for dinner with my 3 people from work and we never get the chance to get together so that night resulted in 3 glasses of wine. I had a hangover when I woke up (perhaps something to do with sleeping in a smoking room) so it has really made me realise how I have weaned myself off already. Anyway got home at 7pm after 4 hours in the car so had to have a glass of wine. That means for my 7 glasses a week challenge I am 4 glasses in which is not good really.

Had a bit of bad news yesterday, my mum and her partner was coming to stay with us for 2 weeks and we were going away together to play golf. I was really looking forward to it but now he needs oxygen 23 hours a day so it has had to be cancelled. DH and I will now go and spend a week playing golf in Devon so at least I have that to look forward too. Sad that I wont see my mum and sad that he is so ill.

Never mind enough about bad news, must get some work done as I have some busy times until my holiday in 2 weeks time. Might try to see if I can make the July target early.

oops_a_daisy

Lainie - well done on everything that you have done and everything that you have been through. People can be so un kind and they must have something missing in their own lives to treat you like that - dont let them get you down. Keep going and good luck.

Will have a look at your blog later Kyle and I hope the weather stays nice for you today at the beach.

Just think of the un expected 3lb weight loss as the loss you should have had on those weeks when nothing came off Victory. Well done.

Well my bikini diet is going well but I really need to get more exercise done

Have a great day everybody :hello:

Morning peeps rain here again, oh how I am looking forward to my hols;)
At the mo I am burning hundreds of calories with all this pre holiday house-work:rotfl: :rotfl: Does anyone else go as excessive as I am being? I have taken out every draw, every cupboard, pulled out every bed to hoover behind, cleaned the oven, you name it and I have done it, my house is like one of those show homes now and I am not going to be in it:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: H is I know but he is not bothered either way, I just would not be able to go to the beach on the hols if behind my fridge had not been cleaned:rotfl: :rotfl: women eh;)
