On the left is near my heaviest (I'm guessing around 265ish pounds) in 2010. On the right was in August at 220. I've lost another 15lbs, and have 50ish more to go, but am happy so far!

That's amazing!! Keep up the awesome work!!!

Thanks everyone!! I think I'll give it try mixing it with my current protein powder to see if it dilutes the stevia enough, if not I'll just have to choke it up as a loss and check that I never buy anything with stevia again.

I have PCOS, for me, I've found the ratio of 40:30:30 (carbs:protein:fat) works amazingly. I do focus mostly on hitting 125g of protein a day, and the other macros just fall around where they should. I lose as planned no matter what ratio I use as long as my calories are in a deficeit, but I've found the 40:30:30 split…

I have similar starting stats as you, 5'5" and 228lbs. I started this time around doing a 40 carb : 30 protein : 30 fat macro split on my calories (1670 calories gave me 167g carbs, 125g protein and 55g fat). I found trying to make sure all my macros were right too fiddly, so now I focus on getting my 125g of protein and…

Interested

2 large cups of filter coffee with unsweetened soy milk and a mocha chia seed pudding (made with chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened soy milk, cocoa and instant coffee)

Personally, I find protein+fat+fibre keeps me feeling fuller for longer. I also eat smaller meals, but more often, I break my day into 5 (250-450 ish calories) meals. From 7pm to 8pm is the only time I really feel hungry, but that's the longest stretch between eating. Last break at work is at 3:30 and I don't get home…

I've replaced my afternoon iced caramel frappaccino with a mocha protein shake (chocolate whey protein, instant coffee and soy milk). Halves the calories and is full of protein instead of processed carbs, but still get a cold frothy coffee fix.

I've just tested this (I never bother closing out my diary anymore) on my Sunday diary. I had a net of 977 kcal (consumed near 2000 kcal, burned around 1000) and it let me close out with a 16lb loss if I kept up for the 5 weeks.

2 cups of coffee with soy milk, oatmeal made with 1\2 c soy milk, 1 tsp honey and cinnamon, 1 slice of emmental cheese and 2 slices of honey cured chicken. 396 kcal; 35g carbs, 16g fat, 26g protein.

This time around I started off doing "lower" carbs, instead of low carb, but have since tweaked that to meeting my protein goal (125 g per day) and allowing the rest of my calories to be filled with carbs/fat however that may be. I'm on 1670 Cal a day, and usually my macros fall around 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. I've…

I'm up for this challenge! SW: 228 CW: 216 NY GW: 191 GW: 165

I love the banana hike bars from Aldi, 169 calories with 11g of protein

I have an android, I use strava (the free version), and I love it! I have been running runkeeper alongside strava for the last couple of weeks, but its only because runkeeper has a 10k training plan that was the best one that I've found for me. Once I've finished the training plan, I'll be back to using just strava.

Roller derby is my passion and has been for 2+ years. I've just started trail running, to build up my endurance for derby, and while I hated running when I started, I absolutely love it now. I would love to start stronglifts 5x5, just need to find a gym I can afford with the equipment I need :)

Happens on and off to me, too. It really annoyed me when I did a 10k route (my longest run ever) and it said "running in place". I just posted a sarcy comment under it :\

I started running in April, and this humidity is killing me! I've just been taking 1 minute walking breaks when needed. I also bought a hip pack that carries a water bottle, my phone, my inhaler, and my car key (with parkrun key tag that has my ICE phone number on it). I'm just looking forward to running in September…

I run Strava along side C25K and it syncs with MFP. It calculates calories, and it's really great for stats and comparisons with your own routes and also other member's segments.

I'm a 36 E, and I haven't found an affordable one yet :/ What I've found works for me is doubling up my adidas sports bra with a tee-shirt bra, everything stays nicely in place and has the added bonus of looking less like a uniboober :D

I hate scally teenagers, they think they're so big and hard and want to impress their mates. Where I used to live I would get the same kind of jeering just walking to the shops. That's one if the biggest reasons I never started running when I lived there. I moved to a small village a couple of years ago and haven't had a…

I listen to a lot of stuff, mostly around 132 bpm as it's perfect for my pace (I'm a pretty slow runner lol). Currently, my favourites to run to on my playlist are "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", "Ballroom Blitz", and "Cotton Eye Joe"

Hey! I'm new to the forums, but this sounds like a brilliant idea! I'm quite new to this running malarkey, I'm 2/3 of the way through Week 6 of Zenlab's C25K app. Last month I racked up 70 miles, but I was off work for the month. I'm back in work now, so I'm going to set my goal this month at 50 miles :)
