My 3 things which kept me motivated... 1. I picked out some old photos of myself over the years of key changes in my weight. A bit like they do in gossip mags with the photos lined up with dates and weights. I then realised I have basically just gradually gained over the last 10-12 years but around 4 years ago was the…

That is exactly how I feel too!

Well, not such a great week for me, I've gone from losing 2 pounds a week to this week only 2 ounces! Haha. It is TOTM though so hopefully I will see a better drop next week. I'm 9 pounds down in this challenge and 21 overall so I'm still feeling happy. I do keep finding I'm running out of calories early so I have to come…

Everyone is different, I sound like one of those people you mentioned whose lost 20+ since jan, but I am also a lot taller than you (6ft) and it takes a lot more weight loss to actually notice any difference than on someone smaller than me. I had to lose about 16 pounds before I even noticed let alone anyone else. You'll…

Just added on another thread but here I am again...21 lbs difference...

My progress so far, I know it's a bit fast, but I am eating, I even raised my calories by 100 a day this week. Start weight on 5th jan: 187 Start weight of this thread: 175 Week 1: 173 Week 2: 171 Week 3: 170 Week 4: 168 Week 5: 166 (CW)

That happened to me, someone said when are you having yours? I assumed he meant when am I planning on having kids, so I said, I've had mine, so he said, oh is that just what's left over then? ...... I was gobsmacked and said I hope not he's 8! ... He was mortified with himself, his wife walloped him round the back of the…

@huango‌ : thanks for the advice, you mentioned weight training but I wouldn't even know how at home (don't have a gym membership). Do you think running will help retain muscle? I've been doing couch25k and felt aches in muscles I never knew I had!

I am 6' and I started losing 8 weeks ago. My starting weight was 187 lbs which was the heaviest I've ever been, even when I was 9 months pregnant. I am currently 167 lbs and my goal weight is 153 lbs but I may raise it or lower it depending on how I feel about myself along the way. This may sound funny but.... I have this…

Week 4 - another 2 lbs lost! 7 lbs in challenge, 19 lbs overall! New current weight - 168 lbs This week I need to get back to running, I've had a week from hell so it wasn't really a top priority. I also think I may be losing too quickly? I only have 15 lbs left to go and looking back, I seem to be losing at a rate of 2…

I've lost a pound! I've lost a pound! 9 days of getting VERY bored at seeing the same number and finally it dropped! Phew! 3 weeks & 2 days in to challenge and my new CW is 170 lbs That's 5 pounds in challenge and 17 pounds overall. Happy day for me :-)

Me too, I just finished week 1, I've never been any good at running so hoping I will surprise myself!

I'm exactly the same! It's very annoying, and I'm thinking the whole time I'm eating the 'bad' meal that I'm gonna regret it when I'm back on the scale the next day (and then for the next 3 days trying to get back to where I was before the weekend. ) I just try to remember it's not real weight and it would be far worse if…

6 foot tall with surprisingly a uk size 6 feet, which I blame for the fact that I'm so clumsy and always falling over! I used to hate being tall when I was young but have learned to love it as I've gotten older. I still have days when I wish I was a little shorter. For example, I am doing a sky dive with my regular height…

Whoops posted 3 times !

I am also 6'0" and I'm 30 too I have dropped 16 lbs so far and want to lose another 17. Let's do this!

I am also 6'0" and I'm 30 too

I am also 6'0" and I'm 30 too

OP you sound similar stats to me, I am 6'0" so an inch taller than you, although I only aim to get down to around 153. I was 187 lbs when I started MFP and set my goal at 1.5 pounds a week and that gave me a calorie goal of 1340 a day. I never ate below 1250 and it has worked for me so far. You may be eating too little. ,…

Angry eyebrows, hairy forearms and bow legs!

It's the end of my week 2 of this challenge and I have lost another 2 lbs! Yay New CW 171 lbs

Mfp just cut off the rest of my post! As I was saying, these are my two gorgeous greyhounds. Pub Dog (white boy) and Smiley(brindle girl) . I added a pic of Pub Dog in his racing days, because I have actually started running this week myself. I thought about taking one of my babies with me but I don't think they would…

So here are my inspirational pets

Very similar thing happened to me, my son is also autistic, he was in sensory overload and trying to lick the counter in a shop. Two ladies nearby were talking very loudly about how some parents need to give their kids a good smack! So I turned and said, sorry? Are you talking about me and my child? So one of them raised…

Hi, I'm 6'0, 5 weeks in,14lbs lost and around 19lbs to go!

Week one : 2 lbs lost so... New CW 173lbs

Hi, I am 5ft 11.5in and currently 175 lbs having lost 12lbs in four weeks of using myfitnesspal. I always thought of myself as slim, but as the years have gone by the weight has consistently crept on. I'm lucky I carry my weight quite evenly all over. When I reached 187lbs though and a uk size 14 I wasn't happy. Especially…

Can I join in! I'm a bit late but I'm new to posting on the boards. I started on the 5th jan and have lost 12lbs so far. Height 5ft 11.5in (the half inch makes all the difference! :wink: ) SW: 187lbs CW: 175lbs GW: 153lbs
