  • I did sleep for 7 hours yesterday during the day (10 am - 5 pm!), and slept like normal last night, so feeling a bit more rested. Still feeling a bit worn out, just not letting it get in my way of cross training. My team has our first British Champs game coming up in a couple of weeks, so need all the strength and…

  • For exercise: I train at roller derby 5 hours a week (2 hours on a Wednesday and 3 hours on a Sunday), I run 5kish 2-3 times a week, and strength train 2-3 times a week. I aim to net 1800 calories, but am eating up to 3000 some days (gotta love the roller derby!), averaging around 2000 - 2100 a day when I can commit to all…

  • A couple of years ago I'd gotten down to 190-195 from 275ish over a few years. That put me comfortably in a UK size 16. I then broke my ankle 18 months ago and stopped monitoring my weight but stayed in a size 16, so assumed that I was maintaining. Then I went shopping in July and realised that I would have to get size 18s…

  • 7 pounds is easily in the realm of water weight loss for the first week of a deficit. For example, my first week in a deficit I lost 8 lbs. Over Christmas I went on a maintenance break, gained 9 pounds, and lost 7 of it in the first week back in deficit, the remaining 2 pounds by week 2.

  • If you only have 16 pounds to lose, I would suggest aiming for no more than 1 lb a week loss (more reasonably 0.5 lb a week). That would give you an extra 500-750 calories a day to play with. It may take a bit longer to get there, but you won't feel like you're starving yourself doing it

  • What a difference a 37 lb loss makes!! On the day I started counting calories again July 22, I tried running a mile (I used to run regularly before breaking my ankle epically in July 2016). I attempted 1.2 miles and it took me 15 minutes 15 seconds and a hell of a lot of ankle pain. I hadn't ran again until today, and…
