18lb down (with pics!)

Well done! Looking great! And nice tatts!

Thanks! Painful! Lol

You look great!! I honestly don't see where in the world another 16lbs would come from! I think if you want to work more on your legs and tummy that you should concentrate on toning type exercises but not weight loss.

I have been doing a lot of toning, my legs are just my downfall, they were a lot thinner when I was at 120-125lb so thats what I'm aiming for! I love thin legs! Thank you though

You look amazing!!!

I am just starting out and I seem to be your weight loss twin
I am 5'8 and weight 147 pounds - I also wanted to lose 25 pounds, but after talking to some fitness experts they told me that I am within a healthy BMI and weight for my height and that I shouldn't really go below 130. So I am listening to their advice and instead of trying to lose 25 will work on losing 15 and completely toning my body.
Just thought I would share with you what they told me, feel free to do whatever you want with this information- you know your body the best!!!

You look freaking fantastic right now!!!!!

Yay weightloss twin!

Wow- You look great!!! What were you doing? I can see you eat 1200 cals a day but dont eat exercise cals back... what exercises were you doing?

Thanks but I don' feel too good today!
Yes i eat no more than 1200 cals per day now and i don't eat my calories back. I was losing fine for the first few weeks, then i started coming on these message boards and i got so stressed out by everyone telling me different things, im eating too few calories, i won't lose weight if i dont eat my calories back, blahblahblah, I got so stressed for about 2 weeks all I did was research weightloss online, I was so obsessed to the point I was crying everyday when i looked in the mirror! I was doing all that zigzagging (because people told me too) and i started eating my calories back, and I didn't lose any weight !! It got too much for me, I decided there and then to stop coming on the message boards, and to just do what I was doing previously. I went back to eating no more than 1200 cals, all I asked from myself was to LISTEN to my body, if I felt grumpy and tired, I would eat more, but I don't, I feel fine and completely satisfied! Since being back to 1200 cals a day (have been now for 2 weeks) I feel much happier and 'in control' I haven't yet been on the message boards, (except for this topic) and I'm doing just fine. I know people are here to help me, but i felt so stressed out not knowing what advise to take and at the end of the day everyone is different.

I know that isn't what you asked me at al! But thought I'd share my experience anyway.

The exercise I do is spin class 5 times a week (sometimes six), I walk everywhere and I do 30 day shred almost everyday (I maybe take 1 day off a week, like today!!) That's all I do really, I used to do yoga almost everyday, but since I started the shred I haven't done it, which is disappointing, I will get back in to it!
