And here is my SBMI chart. My result is slap-bang in the middle of the green range:

Name: Charlotte Age: 57 Height: 5'11" (180cm) Maintenance range: 75kg (+/- 1kg) Weight lost: 86kg to 80 kg (January-August 2012); 85 kg to 69 kg (October 2014 - March 2016); 88kg to present weight (May 2020 - now) maintained (i.e. was below 77.5 kg, and mostly below 75 kg) from February 2015-July 2017; was then put on a…

I really sympathise with this. Last time I lost weight I was aiming for 75kg, then that felt too high so I aimed for 72kg and then for 70kg to see if I could. However, that's too low for me for maintenance. This time around I am currently aiming to maintain at around 75kg, though long term I'd prefer that to be between…

This sounds to me as though it is working really well for you as a maintenance weight and that is what matters. For what it's worth (which is not a lot!) I am also aiming to maintain at around BMI 23. However, unlike you, I lost to that goal and a bit beyond a few years ago and then gained back to being borderline obese…

That's fantastic: well done!

I found this article quite enlightening: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/may/09/mission-menopause-my-hormones-went-off-a-cliff-and-im-not-going-to-be-ashamed.

LOL I read this and thought you meant swimming in the pool in the sweatshirt. Then I realised what you really mean!

@AlexandraFindsHerself1971, you might want to have a look at the ab separation exercises such as these that BodyFit by Amy offers: https://bodyfitbyamy.com/diastasis-recti-workouts/. For background, Amy had a caesarean with her first baby and ab separation with her second and she's very intersted in helping women to heal…

Actually I don't eat particularly low fat or particularly high carb. Nor do I snack constantly. I am just aware that when my blood sugar drops I get itrritable and that I need regular meals through the day (generally three). My point was that fasting in the way that you do would not work for me.
-
Wow: you look amazing! (Actually I think you look really stylish in both photos, but you don't look like the same person at all.)
-
That is amazing progress: very well done! (And I sympathise with the sense of being in normal bmi but still having a fair bit of flab to lose!)
-
@PepeLPew, depending on how many calories you are eating, not eating any exercise calories back could mean that you are seriously undereating. If you have used 1000 calories on exercise and are planning to eat 1500 cals before exervcise, then your net is 500 cals, and that is not enough. Do be careful.
-
It would definitely not work for me; I need my regular food intake or I get headachy and very bad tempered! But I am not you. What for you are the advantages of doing this, and what are the disadvantages?
-
I won't comment on your lack of weight loss; you don't give enough information about what you are eating for that to make any sense. What I will say is that electronic scales are very individualistic. We have two here and they always weigh 0.6-0.8 kgs (so over 1 lb - nearly 2 lbs) difference. I use the heavier one as my…

You look terrific! Do you always run barefoot?

7 stone = 98 lbs which is really impressive. Well done!

@speyerj, if your photo is accurate, I would love to look like you do!

I was like that at the end of last year, with just a few pounds to lose but they were absolutely not shifting. I decided to up my calories to maintain for a month (it ended up being two, from mid December to mid February, so from just before Christmas to just after my birthday). After that the last few pounds came off…

I am wondering what your start weight and height are? It would be easier to respond if we knew. To put this in context, I am 5'11" and for me getting to a UK size 8 would be illusory. I am at my goal weight and am a UK size 14 or 16 (depending on the style/manufacturer).
-
I was also concerned that those net calories consumed are way under what they need to be. @Get_Back_To_Feeling_Good, please be careful: what you are doing is not healthy. @AnnPT77 or @springlering62, might you share your cautionary tales?
-
Fabulous. Keep them coming! Might you also post a gif-tutorial for those of us who are technologically challegend?

My go to is BodyFit by Amy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA9k6Z3B9ywXmwKh-zpBwfw. Also: https://bodyfitbyamy.com/ I have joined her online Bodyfit Athletic Club which is great for motivation and accountability.

As it happens, yes, I am married. I've been thinking about how to have this kind of conversation with my husband who doesn't exercise and then complains about back pain...

Maybe you could mention the creamer?

Thank you! See you in the May thread!

Name: Charlotte Age: 57 Height: 5'11" (180cm) Maintenance range: 75kg (+/- 2.5 kg) - but we'll see, maybe a bit lower. (I'm currently wondering about 73kg +/- 1 kg.) Weight lost: 86kg to 80 kg (January-August 2012); 85 kg to 69 kg (October 2014 - March 2016); 88kg to present weight (May 2020 - now) maintained (i.e. was…

What an amazing achievement! Well done!
