Can't lose weight!
Can't seem to lose any weight! I'm on week 7 of t25, the 1st few weeks I lost 5 lbs (water weight). I started out on a 1200 cal diet but did some research and found out that it's probably too low so I increased it to 1540 calories. I do t25 everyday although sometimes I do the modified version but I give it my all, I also…

Hi all! This is my first post on the boards, so ... *deep breath* :smile: I just started trying to get healthy again about three weeks ago.

Bathroom Scale Accuracy
My Father in Law brought the weighing scales from their home over so I could weigh myself. The maximum weight on them is 120kg, but I am positive I weight more than that. What I want to know is if they go past the maximum weight are they still accurate or will they just not go any further at a certain point?

Starting again (for the fifty-billionth time...)
Maybe a little exaggeration, but you get the idea. This time is a little different, mind, and I feel a little sad about it. My max weight had always been 200lbs and I'd found it quite easy to fluxuate about 15lbs under that. I lost a fair bit in my first year and a half at university, however now I'm in my final few months…

Skinny fat, but curvy. Preserving WHR.

If counting the amount that I'm pumping, my body thinks I'm nursing at least twins. I would like to keep that up as long as possible, and my last nursling didn't stop until she…
