See the problem is when you hit the big leagues... You don't appreciate the flags any more. You're all like "Meh I've got tonnes of them" I still cry tears of joy over every one. PMSL

I have 4 spam and 8 abuse. Even though I never abused anyone that didn't beg for it ;)

That Sir is a proper hay bale moment... lol

Caroline... I'd take the BF% on scales with a pinch of salt. They are highly inaccurate. Congrats on your 8lb loss!

I'm having a chicken shish kebab tonight. I've estimated it around 600 calories. It's chicken and salad so figure I can't be far wrong. Ha! It was weigh in day this morning so I don't really worry if it's badly estimated for one meal.

If I got that drunk... I'd pass out. So i'll skip the drink and just stick with the wild monkey sex!

I must admit I used to panic when I started back in January. Now I just check out what I believe will be lower calorie and not finish the plate. Most places luckily have nutritional information though. I went to Wetherspoons with my folks yesterday for curry club. Instead of my usual chicken tikka, I had the sweet potato…

I think mine is so bad because I had to be re cut to stop the internal bleeding. It's like I've had an axe swung at me :lol:

Tell you what the worst thing is for me? The damn itching. It still itches now even after 10 years. :lol:

I'd rather eat horse poo than have another child. Seriously.

My mum had two vertical incision sections. She hates her stomach bless her. I was so worth it though ;)

I'll be honest. I had a rough birth. Emergency section and was left with internal bleeding for 8 days before they realised. I was not well :lol: but he was worth it :)

Sorry if my belly puts anyone off their dinner by the way. Just wanted to show you what it can look like.

There you go. That's what I'm currently stuck with. I've still got a long way to go in terms of my stomach but mine has always hung over since having a section 10 years ago. My stomach muscles at the bottom are shot. No feeling there either. So there you go :)

I'd make you one if I could!

Well done on your loss so far! :)

OP... There are some great threads in the stickied post at the top of this forum. Have a read through them. If at 1200 calories you are not losing weight, you are eating more than you think. If you don't have one already... Get yourself a food scale and weigh and measure everything that you put in your mouth. Including…

I started at 182lbs in January. So I was obese. I lost 1-2lb a week by eating 1480 calories a day. So why on earth would the OP need to starve themselves to lose weight? 18lbs more than I started at is not a huge amount. VLCD are not necessary at 200lbs. End of. You do NOT need to eat less than your BMR to lose weight. My…

I get like this when my vertigo flares up. Blooming annoying it is too.

Boiled eggs are a fab snack! As is a cooked chicken breast shredded that you can munch through the day. Make sure you weigh it first though ;)

@rabbitjb This thread is a doozy!

And how on earth would you expect the OP to build muscle mass in a severe BMR deficit? Pray tell all knowing biologist?

Hahahahaha. Yep it had to come from an all knowing MD. If I shaved calories off my BMR I would be eating Oooh 1100 calories a day. So err no. I'll take it off my TDEE, eat 1500 calories, lose weight and not be starving, so if that means I know more than your MD... I'll take it.

BODY GOALS.

You do not "shave" calories off of your BMR. You create your deficit from your TDEE. And you have a biology degree at that? Wowzers.

@draznyth Just because you make me laugh so hard.

Does this detox your soul? :lol:

Losing 20lb in a month is not healthy or sustainable.

I love swimming. It's all about the breast stroke!!!

It doesn't bother me if people know me on here. Shrug. They all know I'm losing weight so it's a moot point for me. If I was on a dodgy forum... I'd perhaps be more cautious :lol:
