You look great! What's your exercise/diet like?

Thanks :)

Hi, thanks. In terms of diet plan. I didn't really have one. Pre-cooking every meal for a whole week and weighing my food isn't me so I just I tried to stick to approx 1200 calories each day. That could contain anything but obviously to be able to stick within that without eating just a chocolate bar and a sandwich in 24…

I agree! It may not always be harder but I think it's just more noticeable when us shorties have more weight on! Our proportions look out of control!

Hi, thanks so much for your comments :smile: My loss varied actually. There was a point in the beginning I was dropping like 1-2 lbs consistently but then it seemed to slow down the more weight I lost. Sometimes there would be weeks I wouldn't have dropped anything, despite my hard work with diet and exercise which was…

Hi! Calorie goal was 1200. I tried to stick to it as much as possible but within reason. It wasn't realistic for me to stick to it everyday so sometimes I would go over, but I would make sure I just worked extra hard at the gym to compensate. If I did go over, it would only be by 500+ max - I didn't go crazy.

Thanks!

Thanks so much and great to hear you have made some great progress too! Very inspirational that someone twice my age can also drop 42lbs! There is hope that if I maintain I can be just as it as you. Well done!

Thanks for the advice!

Yikes - looks like I need to get a good training plan in place. I don't ever really like doing races/charity runs without training for them anyway but as a marathon is such a long distance, i'll have to make sure I train over quite a long period of time. Thanks!

I do quite a lot of running now - maybe 3x a week outdoors and then 3x on a treadmill. Longest distance is a 10k in 54 mins. Did a charity 5k in 26 mins last month. If I were to do a marathon - i'd prob want to do the London one! Any advice for me or recommendations about what I could do instead to build up to it? I don't…

Hey, i'm 5"0 and i've just lost 42lbs! :smile:

Thank you!

Thanks!

No worries, i'm happy to help. A combination of all: Nutrition - low carb. I replaced white rice (being Filipino this was a challenge as it's a staple food for us!) with veg or salad. Next to no pasta and if bread then brown or wholemeal. Lots of fruit. Cut out most processed foods. Only drinking water no fizzy drinks or…

Hi, I think it depends on what you feel comfortable with! I think it's about the following: 1) If you can be consistent - it doesn't matter how many times you work out a week, as long as you keep going. For example you're likely to see results even if you go 2x a week for a year than if you went 4x a week for just a few…

Thank you!!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Congrats!

Well done! You look great :)

Hi Cailee, I have just recently gone through my own journey and happy to support or advise you on yours!

Yeah, i'm so glad I took these pics. It's really helped to keep me motivated and I think helped the most in my success! I had a few reasons as to why I wanted to change: 1) Comments I got from family members I hadn't seen in a while (and they don't hold back!) about how I had put on weight etc. Not nice to hear, but gave…

Wow, you look amazing! Well done!
