I'm having one of those great days in my weight loss journey where I really feel like I'm making a difference for myself. I had about 10 compliments on my weight loss today, as well as noticing I've now doubled AT MINIMUM all weights I'm doing at the gym, some up by about 4x over the course of the last 3 months. I also realised something awesome - I'm not afraid to show off my arms anymore! Now I still have a lot to lose - a good 30kg/65lb. But I'm proud of what I've done so far, and want to show the new people that it is doable - even when you eat "bad foods!" I had tacos for dinner tonight, bbq last night, and I don't deprive myself of anything.

I know it's not much and it's not all that noticeable yet, but it's a start. :)

    Am very close to what you were.....do let me know how you managed? I've been on a 1700-1800 calorie diet, burning close to 400 calories every day. I am 5 feet 8 inches tall and have a desk job....

    do let me know your typical day in terms of exercise and diet.

    My plan has been very similar to you. I'm also 5'8" and work a desk job. :) I aim for approx 1750 calories a day, but have had odd days as low as 1100 and as high as 2500. My average over the course of a week is generally about the 1700 a day, though. I burn probably an average of about 3,000 calories a week (also very close to your number!) but a huge portion of that is through weight training. I started lifting heavy about 3 weeks ago and although I've only lost 1.5kg over the last 3 weeks, I've gone down a whole dress size. :) You can do it!!

    hey dont kid yourself. I can absolutely see it!! and remember as you ADD muscle it weighs more, so the scale may say you have lost 14 lbs, but it is really more than that because you have gained muscle in the process, and we can see it!!! you go girl!
