those who have lost a stone or more, can u help me?
i need to lose 20 lbs, but today i ate so much, to the point it made me sick. Im compulsive when it comes to the scale and thats what i use to measure progress. I weight myself more than 4 times a day, and i eat so much. help, please, to those who have lost more than a stone, please, im sick of the fat hanging over my pants or jiggling loosely on all sides when i walk, i don't know what to do, ive become obsessed, if i don't lose the 20lbs, ill go over the edge. help.

Whoa tiger, chill. Let me help you!!! It's ok. It's really ok. I promise you- you may be a little chubbed out right now- but within the next 2 months you will have lost those 20 pounds. I weighed 145 pounds. I now weigh 125. I lost 20 pounds in less than 2 months. I did not starve myself or become bulimic. I recently posted my diet plan on the board- check it out. I had weight problems for 5 years. I swear- everything will work out, lets not get all crazy and spaz hun- if you have any questions about anything or wanna know some tips on dieting and exercise hit me back by posting up on the board- ahight??? ok keep it real- Peace

ive lost a stone in 2 months up to now but ive still got a long way to go. i know how hard it is. set urself a calorie intake per day - mine is about 1500-1700. my BEST tip that really helped me lose the weight is:- decide how much will power you've got. if u can stick to a week being really good then do it. NO SWEET. then, after 7 days, slob out. i mean really. no exercise, no healthy eating no nothing. want ice cream? have it. but only for a day. OR you can pu aside 150 calories per day. thats ur calories-sweet calories. say a small milky bar chocolate is 75 calories-u can have two a day if u want! u can even save them up for a big treat. i chose the latter cos i have virtually no will power. im getting better though. if u want to have a buddy or swap tips ith me my email is shellyhereuk@yahoo.co.uk. gud luk
