Please don't shout at me but.......
Im not sure if I like this tent, it's because I've seen your pic Candice at the Liverpool (meet up), not only are you beautiful but no one can fake that smile and the wit which exudes from you splits my side regularly.
We all see ourselves differently to others. I don't stop and stare at myself in mirrors or shop windows,
If this is the kick up the bum you want to give yourself then go for it. But please don't be so hard on yourself,
I hate negativity, and it only eats away at your soul. Turn it around Candice please and use it positively.
Ok another angle here.......
If I was saying this about myself what would you say to me.

Unmade double bed and youngest grandson

Luvverly pic AB love your hair and the colour of your cardi - and the way your grandson has hold of your plait - and not a fried egg sandwich in sight

Oh WOW is that you @azureblue gorgeous lady? You look so happy, contented and good in your skin, my dear!!!

Wow! What a lovely photo. Thanks for sharing.

Well I can see a lovely grandma with an adoring little grandson but where's this unmade double bed you're on about?

Yep - think there is a tent missing - the Gorgeous Grandma Tent

Oh my, you are all very kind, but I'm sure you can also see the massive tyre around my middle. That's the problem!

I just had to say what a fabulous photo that is, you have the most gorgeous hair Azureblue and most unlike an unmade bed

Oh my, you are all very kind, but I'm sure you can also see the massive tyre around my middle. That's the problem!

That's no tyre!! Mine is and belongs to JCB

Lovely photo @Azureblue so touching watching your grandson looking at you so adoringly

@Sue.Q ! Three fat B *****ds ?
Oh hhhhhh...three fat BLASTERS!
Welcome back @Bobshouse x! Good to see you again! X
Thanks @callyanna and @PennyForthem for yr kind comments x
And thanks @carieoates too x but not really being negative, more half serious/ half joking
..and also frustrated with self as its now April and ive messed round since january after doing well last Sept - December...
and i DO need a kick up the bum and feel that linking up with those members who have the most in common with me is useful coz we can support each other in a very particular way,just as those in other tents do x
What i wd say to you,as you are now, is look how well youve done and how proud ypu should be of shedding weight,bringing yr BMI and yr dress size down, and looking so good!
If you were as i am now, with BMI in the thirties,wearing size 18/20, and in the obese range i wd tell you if its making you unhappy,don't ever give up on doing whatever you can to turn things round,coz this is no good for your health or yr quality of life x
@AzureBlue there is just something so magical about this pic..we know you love being a gran and it shines thru..i too love yr hair and yr cardi! X

@CandiceMarie with a bit of luck you'll be a gran before long, and can take your place in the GG Tent - what better motivation do you need to get into gear??

Oh my, you are all very kind, but I'm sure you can also see the massive tyre around my middle. That's the problem!

That's no tyre!! Mine is and belongs to JCB

Lovely photo @Azureblue so touching watching your grandson looking at you so adoringly

And now we have muffin-top one-up-manship well I thought I'd seen it all - I have now

Great photo @Azureblue such a precious moment captured

I think it's ok to say the "F" word and it is frustrating having a longer journey. So I can hear what you are saying Candy that was why I did the 'taking the scenic route tent" creating a space for people to share their frustrations knowing the journey was going to be longer than expected and need a special kind of persistence.

I think I am just dropping in for a cuppa here even though I am in a limbo far from my intended BMI. I think it is important to share with buddies in a similar situation
