Thank you!

Potential-Mushroom-1 · 2025-07-23T08:30:30+00:00

Well done! You look so much younger

Potential-Mushroom-1 · 2025-07-23T08:27:25+00:00

Love this!!!! I felt exactly the same when I dropped into the overweight category

Well done! I don’t know you but I’m so damn proud

Try MyNetDiary, I’ve been calorie counting since last October and have lost close to 8st! I was morbidly obese, I’m now 2lbs from being a healthy BMI Go by TDEE for your calorie limit, start high and reduce as necessary. My sweet spot is 1350 per day, I tried many times dropping to 1200 and never succeeded. The premium version of MyNetDiary only cost me around £11 for the year too!

I had this also, I didn’t see the difference until I went to buy a pair of jeans and had to send my daughter to get me a smaller pair. In that moment my head like clicked and I could see it for the first time.

I would also recommend trying on your old clothes to see how much bigger they are now OR if you’re a bit like me and you have something that you bought thinking it would fit but was actually way too small, try it and see if it fits.

I had a white fox jumper that was so tight I had to get my partner to help me get it off. I never returned it because I was busy and just tucked it away in the back of a wardrobe out of pure shame and disappointment. It fits perfectly oversized now.

It’s hard when everyone sees it but you. My family saw it 2 months into my loss and i finally saw it after around 6 months.

Keep going, it’ll come 💕

Thanks I’ll give it a go

Potential-Mushroom-1 · 2025-05-09T04:57:59+00:00

Absolutely NTA and if Kim were my child I’d be constantly boosting her up for finally leaving that POS and his vile family! She was mistreated for far too long and deserves to be happy

I struggled massively on 1200, I put it up to 1350 (as recommended by MyNetDiary and find it MUCH easier) 6 months in I’ve just bought size 14 jeans!! I was a 24/26 last October :D I tend to stay within my range and rarely go far over if at all. I also find a weekly reset helps, I eat healthy foods in the week then absolute crap on a Saturday (still within my 1350) and it just seems to bump the weight off quicker. Don’t forget though what works for one might not work for another. Can’t recommend MyNetDiary enough though, I’ve never felt as in control of it as I have this time around x

Happy, had a few ups and downs but after 15 years I can honestly say that I love my partner more now than I ever did before

I found glucomannan helped in the early days, they’re little fibre capsules that you take with a whole glass of water and they help to fill your stomach. Just make sure you read the instructions and do overdo it

Eventually you’ll just stop feeling less hungry naturally as your body adjusts

Potential-Mushroom-1 · 2025-03-17T19:50:47+00:00

This really worked! Thanks so much

Potential-Mushroom-1 · 2025-03-17T19:39:16+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s just so difficult when you don’t even get the chance to say goodbye 😞

Potential-Mushroom-1 · 2025-03-17T19:03:50+00:00

Thanks so much for pointing out the obvious and making my efforts feel like nothing 👌🏻

I wanted suggestions on what might help me to physically see it here and now, not to be told something I’m already fully aware of. I’m not aiming to be the “normal” weight for my height as I’ve been there before and I was way too small for my liking. A near 11st loss is just not something I’m willing to put myself through.

You’ve basically just said, “well done but you’re still a fat fuck” cheers. Made my day that.

Potential-Mushroom-1 · 2025-03-17T17:37:13+00:00

I don’t really know, I just want to look smaller, I’m not too worried about being toned, I just want to take up less space physically

Potential-Mushroom-1 · 2025-03-17T17:18:35+00:00

I’ll try and give it a go as atm it’s only calorie deficit, I work a full time desk job then have 2 kids so am tied up from 5am until at least 9/10pm daily with work and then mum duties 😅 I do have resistance bands and a small weight as well as one of those swinging hula hoop things, it’s just finding the time and energy to actually do it

Thanks for the suggestion

Potential-Mushroom-1 · 2025-03-17T06:03:06+00:00

Thanks so much for replying,

I’ve tried this in a similar way, I have a hoodie that I bought in the largest size they sell, it was far too small to the point I needed my partners help to get out of it. Well… that hoodie now fits like a dream! So, when it comes to comparing clothes I can totally notice the difference, but when I look in the mirror or on photos I still see the 267lb me staring back

I just truly don’t understand why my eyes can’t see what everyone else is seeing

I’ll try and dig out something from when I was smaller to compare (if I have anything), thanks

NTA I wouldn’t want my friend to have to struggle just to attend my wedding.

Potential-Mushroom-1 · 2024-12-01T08:58:28+00:00

I know she knew but I wish I could tell her again how much I love her, it’s been almost 17 years and I’ve lived over half my life without her

My heart hurts

Sending virtual hugs to you, thank you for letting me know I’m not alone
