Ive got a WW scale and if my weight doesnt change by like more than half a pound - it just weighs the same ! I recalibrate by getting the kids to weigh themselves or I pick up a 4 pound pot and it then weighs properly! Rather rubbish actually - im going to change soon

Afterwards - so many manufacturers pump with water and other rubbish and it varies - especially if you drain fat carefully as well. Afterwards takes away some of these variences :)

Well I might disagree with number 3 lol - but I look better dressed :)

After 70 pounds I joined a gym and started cardio and swimming every day. After 6 weeks I felt comfortable to try lifting. Now I train for 15 mins most days on the machines and lifting heavier and heavier. Im noticing my body shape changing ! Its amazing how much stronger I am. I can even hang on and support my own…

Whenever Im really strict, up the level of exercise and drinks loads - I do go to the bathroom a lot more and tend to find that is indicative of larger weight loss for that week :)

I bought a bike Monday last week. Ive eaten basically the same calories as before but because of the extra effort of riding the bike to the gym and back - I lost 6 pounds this week ! Ive had to up the calories and slow down the exercise.

Thanks -but Thats the thing ! Ive been many times before so unfortunately I know what food is there. Im not one that eats small amount of " processed or bad or takeaway " food in moderation. Ive never have been able to - id rather keep away from it than taste it then get the craving to eat it. Im pleased some on here can…

Lol- these are my now normal eating habits ! Lots of natural foods and no processed junk. No alcohol and lots of exercise with low carbs. What I fear the most is I'll be outside my confort zone and in a minefield of fatty sugary processed rubbish - I'll have to stick with simple meats that havent been messed around with :)

This 72 day streak has generated a 42 pound loss ( as of this Morning ) as the trouble is I lose weight fasssst but put it on just as quick ! Hence my real worry about eating American theme park food I do have the walking luckily and young fella is gym fit so he'll keep me going - I just need to keep away from temptation :)

I had a cheat day 10 days ago to celebrate uk mothers day. I had loads of wine, carbs ( im low carb ) and a WHOLE chocolate orange ( 900 cals ) ... By the end of the day Is eaten 3800 cals ! Thats the ONLY cheat day ive had in almost 3 months. Psychologically - Im not really able to do a cheat day. It develops a " taste "…

Yep same ! In fact this winter in the UK hasnt been " too bad " but ive never felt colder ! Its been awful - just cant wait for the sun. I'm in Florida in 3 weeks so hopefully get some nice rays! I wonder if its an age thing being 50 this year plus losing 115 pounds :)

I dont eat back exercise calories - i'd just rather lose weight a bit quicker. Ive never been healthier, fitter , energised, not sick etc since 1st Jan when I started 5-6 times a week at the gym and MFP ( and lost 40 pounds ) :)

I was 255 on Jan 1st and now 215 which is about 3.5 pounds a week. Its slowing down a bit now. I work out 5-6 days a week but dont eat them back and rarely have " treats " if it slows to 2pound a week that would still be good.

I just had some grilled chicken - looked small till I weighed it - 160 grams ! Its amazing how much food weighs and the calories ! Especially " hidden " calories like sauces etc!

Yep - with me it does big time ! I try and keep under 40 grams if I can per day and try for less

Thank you :) its actually a loss of 115 pounds so far - here are a couple of piccies

I weigh daily ! I have to - its the only way for me to feel in control even if I gain. Ive lost 40 pound since Jan 1st and whilst I do have the odd gain my weigh is mostly same or down ward. I get excited too when I wake up. Its something to look forward to :) If I do have the odd gain it motivates me to sharpen up on the…

Ive lost 115 pounds in 18 months. My philosophy is small goals. For example The next 10 pounds, getting under the next miles stone, breaking through a barrier, looking forward to a Night out and maybe new smaller clothes. Anything really that doesnt focus in the big job in hand ! I want to lose maybe 40-50 pound more ( i…

Wow thank you - i never knew that ! Mine are around 5-7k down a week ( and im perfectly fine ) which probs accounts for the 3 pounds loss per week :) I love the way you can see any "over" days at a glance too.

A really filling lunch I eat is a v small egg ( whole ) 55 cal plus two egg whites from medium 20 plus little bit of dry fried onions and mushrooms and some wilted spinach and in an omelette . Also Doritos hot salsa as dressing ( only need little bit) adds up to around 110 cals and makes me feel full.

I do similar - around 1000 - 1200 exercise calories a day ( apparently according to MFP) 6 times a week but I rarely eat any back. I just stick with my calorie allowance - its working for me - ive never felt better :)

Ive significantly cut back as its the milk that is my problem ( cant enjoy it black) I cannot function in the Morning or sleep at nite without one cup of coffee with Carnation milk and two gingernut biscuits ( 142 cals ) -in my MFP diary, its the first thing I load for the day :)

I was greedy on Sat ( 3900 total cals - drink and chocolate for UK mothers day ) - only day ive been significantly over since 1st Jan. ive been losing 3 pound a week. On Fri I was 220, Sat 218, Sun 221 ( aaah ) , Mon 220, Tue 220 and today back to pre piggy day of 218. Ive been mega strict this week. I hope by Fri ( the…

For breakfast I have two gingernut biscuits and a coffee with half fat Carbation milk. Same for bed time - always - I put these in my MPF in the Morning and the rest of my days calories are adjusted accordingly :)

Ive lost 37 pounds since 1st Jan - its coming off around 3 pounds every week. If I put my mind to it - I always loose weight fast .... Of course the flip side is I can pack on weight even faster ! :)

I hate most carbs - they bloat me and make me hungry after I have eaten them ! Low carb low fat ( as I dont like fats ) all the way for me :) ( 112 down )

I only eat out once every three weeks and even then only healthy options. I never ever eat take out - too processed, salty and fatty for my liking

Ive lost 110 pound - and I can tell just by looking in the mirror each Morning how much I weigh ! I carry most of my weight on my legs - my waist and face loose it fast - so its very noticable now :) I'd imagine I wont notice the legs loose weight unless I put on a pair of tight jeans and see the difference

If the picture person was 5 inches less than you - that really does make a difference - you cant compare yourself :) us tall girls can get away with a bit of weight ! Im sure your friend saw a completely different person than you You look pretty with great hair - best of luck with the weight loss !

I cant eat mine back. I eat low carb low fat healthy stuff - I dont have treats unless its a glass of wine - and I dont like fatty food - the food is currently too much for me. I may creep into my exercise calories now and again but not often. 34 pounds since 1st Jan
