Hi girls/guys - I just wanted to say that I'm really sad. I can't seem to lose the weight that I lost then re-gained. Last year I was a size 12 and now I'm back up to a 16. ANyhow.. I just wanted to say how sad I am and how I want to start restricting again. I don't have money for groceries so that should be a good incentive. Anyhow..thanks for listening.

I'm so sorry you feel sad. I'm here if you need me. Got 17 years under my belt with this crap. Let me know what you need. Many blessings to you:)

if you're not happy with your new size and want to lose a little weight then do so, but do it sensibly - with the help of a dietician or your gp maybe, to make sure it doesn't get completely out of hand and you shed the pounds healthily. there's no point in you continuing to feel bad about yourself, but just be really careful, please!

It would be ok to go from a size 16 to a size 12, but you sound like you want to be anorexic or you wouldn't use the dreaded word "restricting" and not having any groceries as a good incentive. I think it's time again for some therapy to find out if that's all you are sad about. And then see a nutritionist to set you up on a weight loss program that is healthy and won't let you go below your size 12.

are you sad becuase you are a size 16 or are you just unhappy? I have recently lost loads of weight thinking I would be happy and I feel just the same, I went from a size 12 to a size 8 and I don't feel any different. If my clothes weren't big and if the scales didn't tell me I'd lost weight I would say I am the same size. Weight doesn't dictate your mood, your mood dictates your weight. And you are allowed to be sad, sometime I think that if I didn't feel sad I wouldn't feel anything. Run a hot bath and have a bloody good cry and try to feel better tomorrow.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
