Thank you all for the lovely comments. Since i posted i lost 18 more pounds (8kilos) and still going! I will try and update with pictures aswell at some point! <3

Lost almost 1 pound when i weighed my self the morning after xmas dinner (today morning). Woohoo! Having no exceptions and no cheat days, is what keeps me motivated. Was on a plateu for a couple of weeks, and the day after xmas, boom, scale went down, best gift ever!

Congratulations! You look gorg in all 3 pictures, but the difference is huge weight wise :)

No i did change it to male, set his age etc. We did it twice to be sure aswell

I tried the device on my boyfriend and it gave a high result too (28% i believe) which seems crazy to me, he is lean but has a lot of muscles. I can't see any visible fat on him whatsoever, he is 185cm tall and weighs 74kilos. So you're definetely right, the results are not accurate. I also tried many online calculators…

Thank you very much. I used an online converter for height, but i'm not familiar with feet at all, probably read it wrong. I will try more protein for sure.

Thank you very much for the reply! Helps a lot understanding how this works. I'm not expecting to just lose fat, but i wanted to see if reaching my goal weight would get me to a somewhat acceptable bf percentage! Your story is very inspiring, thank you for sharing! I admire people like you that excersise and honestly gives…

Thank you all. I'm 167cm which is around 5'4 or 5'5 (not really sure). I definetely have fat to lose still, i can tell just by looking at my self. I follow a pretty healthy diet i believe,which is very effective so far for me, i eat mostly veggies with some lean meat or fish, and legumes. All my meals are boiled or…

Thank you very much, this is very helpfull. I am doing this as i type and i will update with the result. I have one question though, just incase anyone knows. Where do i measure my waist? I've read people say that i'm supposed to measure the narrowest part of my waist while others say to do it where my bellybutton is.

This one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Omron-BF306-Body-Composition-Monitor/dp/B000178RVG I hope it's not against the rules that i'm posting this.

Greek yoghurt is supposed to be a bit sour. It's very healthy for dogs aswell, and they love it. Greece's products arent overly processed, so if you want to go by which one is healthier, i'd choose brands that are Greek and not Greek-american. Fage is a very good option, here in Greece they're one of the top companies.…

Eat to live, not live to eat! That's what i think everyday when i wake up.

Fage yoghurt is the same everywhere, i'm pretty sure. It's pretty nice and creamy but my favorite one is from delta, i think they are exporting to USA but i'm not 100% sure (under vivartia's brand name). If you ever see delta's small family farms yoghurt, get it! It's AMAZING. That's how they look like…

No problem! I wish you success, and please come back and update me on your progress. Don't give up! I gave up so many times in my life, i've been obese my whole life. It's the only time i sticked on a diet and i'm so proud and happy. Being comfortable in your own skin is so fullfilling, way more than any food or lazy day…

Thank you! My biggest plateau was at 79-80 aswell. Just keep going and keep the calories but maybe try changing the quality of food? Or try less calories like 1300. It's a trial and error process, until you find what works best for you!

For the recipe, don't get to crazy on the ingridients because it depends on your preference. But the basic recipe is 1kg Spinach Few spring onions (can use 1 normal onion instead) Some dill (depends on how u prefer it) parsley 2 big ripe tomatoes or tomato sauce (again depends on how red-ish you want it) olive oil salt…

Thank you! Well my goal was 1200 but wasn't working for me, because i'm not active and atm i don't work. Plus i'm not excersising at all. So it ends up around 1000 which i know it's bad for most people, but i srsly dont burn ANY calories whatsoever. And when i do, i make sure to eat more than 1000. I wish i would excersise…

An update: At 69 kilos atm [152pounds] and finally on a healthy BMI! Went from Severely Obese to NORMAL and i'm so proud of my self! I will update with new pictures, even if it's only 4 more kilos since the pic posted, i noticed a huge difference! Still not at my final goal of 57, but i hit my first goal which was normal…

Weighed my self today, and i'm at 71.9 2more kilos and i hit my first big goal, healthy normal BMI!

Great job! Keep in mind, it's more that likely to hit a plateau after you loose your first pounds. Don't give up, don;t be discouraged, after the plataeu your weight will start dropping fast!

Aw, thank you :smiley: Well, i was one of those people that would never pay attention to what they consume, i was drinking many coffee's with lots of sugar, i was drinking many sodas, i would eat junk food and basically every fattening food there is. And my portions were pretty large. When i started, i instantly started…

Since most of you don't use the metric system, thought i'd update in pounds. Starting weight: Around 220-225lbs Current weight: 159 lbs Goal weight: 125 lbs Height: 5 ft 5,7

You look amazing, so happy for you!

I've lost fats and oils an average American eats in a year, yeiii :smiley:

Thank you, will definetely do ^^

Ok guys, i got the point now. I will add EVOO back to my diet. Thank you for helping me out, as i said i'm fairly new to nutrition and i don't want to make any major mistakes with my diet whilst finding out what's working best for me.

Very informational! Thank you very much, i will stick with olive oil then, since i can be sure of the quality of it. That was very helpfull ^^

Thank you all for your replies! Which oil is better for frying/sauté? That's the only thing I'd like to use oil for to be honest. And by better i mean healthier not tastier, because olive oil is tastier in my opinion, i'm so used to it hehe ^^ I read something about olive oil being bad for frying because of the fats in it,…

Thank you Lisa!!

Aw, thank you so much :D First time i've ever felt confident enough to wear something short, and it made me so happy i nearly cried ^^
