I'd try and stick to things that require minimal mouth-work!!

Maybe soup or yoghurt - things like that?

It's great but you need to go and personally update it everytime your weight changes :)

 

Weight Loss Anyone else suffer from SAD? Oct 18 2007

I live in England permanently and I really struggle from the beginning of October til around March/April time. It doesn't help that our summer was completely non-existent this year too :(

Every year since I was a kid I've completely lost my motivation between those months and I just can't be bothered to do anything!

I'd love to get an SAD lamp - the problem is they're just so expensive!!
And also, I know a lot of people say they work, but I just find it hard to believe that a light bulb can make that much difference when if you look out the window the sky's still grey, dark and rainy. 

But if it makes half the year less depressing and more manageable then I suppose it's worth it :)  Either that or I need to move somewhere hot, pronto!!

Wow.. I can't wait for a few more weeks when it's only light for about 7/8 hours a day. Yippee :(

Thanks for putting my mind at rest!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Those pictures have just given me motivation I've been lacking for the last few days. You look fantastic!

It's SO nice to hear someone say they did 'light exercise' too - whenever I look on this site, I feel so guilty because everyone else seems to have this gruelling 7 day cardio and weights routine they do for like 2 hours every day!

Thanks for sharing with us all :)

I always wonder this too - I'm always convinced my measurements are wrong 'cos I swear I take them in a different place every time! I tend to think of mine as being at belly button level :)

Hey! I'm pretty sure it makes no difference. I was actually reading (I can't remember for the life of me where I read it!) something a couple of days ago about that being a common diet myth and that working out on an empty stomach may actually be worse 'cos you feel like eating more afterwards! Saying that, I'm by no means a professional - Just thought I'd pass on what I'd read :)
New Members Hi Am New here..... in search of some motivators.... Oct 01 2007

Hey Sudeepa!

I'm new here too -  I'm 22 and I joined yesterday after having looked at similar sites like this one for weeks.

I can completely understand where you're coming from. I've been on and off diets for the past couple of years. Like you said, I'm fine for the first 2 or 3 weeks of a diet but once I've lost a bit of weight I just sort of give up. It's stupid 'cos you'd think most people would be motivated by the thought they're losing weight, not me though!

My dad was diagnosed as diabetic a couple of years back and that was pretty much due to his weight. The fact that 90% of my family are overweight sort of means I can justify my weight to myself but it's got to the point now where I'm sick of my excuses and I just want to get rid of it for good!

I hate the way people look at me as I'm this big lazy lump, it's a vicious circle - I'm too embarrassed to exercise in public 'cos of what I'll look like! I want to be the healthy, confident girl that I imagine I am in my head.

Anyway.. Good luck :) Remember, the hardest bit is the beginning.
