132-145lbs - ( I think in kg so I just had to look up what that looks like in lbs). I was origially aiming for 70kg (154 lbs), but now I'm here I want to go a bit lower, so I'll continue to assess as I go. I've started weight training as well so now I want to focus more on shape than weight

This is so true. The best advice I got was from a friend who lost a lot of weight and I just remember, he talked to me about changing the way I eat etc but finished with, 'but you have to want it' And I realised I hadn't. But now I did. That was 23kg ago :-)

I think this sounds like a great idea. Exercise really helps with my anxiety and depression. I’m not very familiar with the groups on here and can’t find it – is it possible to post a link?

Seeing improvements - running longer; lifting more etc. And old photos. I found some the other day and was really shocked. I just don't want to look like that again and that motivates me when I'm tempted to eat a biscuit (or 20...)

Wow this thread is really interesting and useful. I’m having similar issues myself – partner says he wants to lose weight but does nothing about it. It’s getting incredibly frustrating.

There were lots of things... one of the biggest was that people on the tube kept offering me a seat because I looked pregnant! I got really sick of that and my first goal was just to stop it happening. And then once I started, I loved how much better I felt and looked, which is what motivates me to keep going

well done! I'm just over halfway to go myself, going to add you :)

What recipe are you using? I found a few different ones. Anyway here's what I do. Make these most days. Main things that made a difference were using a really good non-stick frying pan and a decent spatula. So heat your oil - I put in a few drops and wipe it around /off with kitchen roll so it just greases the pan. While…

Feel free to add me, I need help keeping up my motivation!

Well done on the weightloss so far! I'm in London, also have 10kg to go after losing 20 so far - feel free to add me

Thank you all for the really useful replies - I'll change what I'm doing so I'm using that time to lift weights raher than cardio. They also do some half hour classes over lunch so I will see what they are like as well.

I quite often make a low-cal /carb galette the night before (one egg, 2tbsps oat bran, one tbsp quark, beaten and fried) and eat that with a boiled egg or some cottage cheese. Other options include slices of smoked salmon wrapped round cottage cheese; porridge made with light soy milk; Smoked mackerel. These are all things…
