I just recently achieved this goal!! I was sooooo itching to get into the 60s that when l saw it l was thrilled!! My goal weight is 63kg so it feels even closer, just hearing my weight start with 60 something. I'm excited for you ☺ My mini goal is 67kg because then l hit healthy BMI.

43

No l was thin most of my life up until l hit about 30. Been a rollercoaster since then.

I did what you did over about 1 year, on and off because when I ate badly, I felt bad and stopped logging. After a while I would get back on the track until I did it again and derailed again. I lost some and gained some. It was only when I stopped feeling bad and accepting it as a part of my journey, that I continued…

No HYE been snorkelling?

Yes, Fifi the dog HYE surfed?

Hate (too old for that look and it's not my style anyway) Swimming in a lake?

No HYE bought a product from TV Shopping Network?

No HYE walked into a glass sliding door HARD?

It's not about 'healthy food choices' or 'how much you exercise' as much as it is about HOW MUCH food/calories you eat. You can eat all the healthy food you want and still not lose weight (that's not to say that healthy food is not important in other ways). You can exercise your butt off but if you eat more than you burn…

Yes HYE had a stalker?

No HYE been to a psychic?

Love it Flip flops?

Caramel... yum! BBQ or Michelin Star Restaurant?

Funny how he seems to think what you do with your body should be about him!

Never had grits or cream of wheat (EDIT- just looked up what grits were and it's a coarse version of polenta which I like) Mashed potato or roast potato?

I carry over the calories into the next day or days. Depends how much l over ate l might carry it over the week or 2 weeks. Just spread them out. I don't hate on myself anymore but l make myself accountable for the calories. If it's a huge one l have to be accountable until l have reached what looks like maintenance. So if…

Don't love them or hate them Flying in a plane

Yes HYE sat on a cat

Would you call someone who was short on money, trying to save money and using a budget carefully... obsessive or smart? Counting calories and using a scale is smart and is no different than someone budgeting carefully to save money. Some people can guesstimate how much they are spending but some need to record everything…

How do I see my eating and lifestyle habits looking for the rest of my life? (I have a little more weight to lose and coming close to maintenance) From this question I have decided that- Carbs are in Processed food is in Exercise my portion control Weighing myself everyday Always weighing calorie dense foods Pre-planning…

Your story just put the biggest smile on my face :smile: Congrats on getting your health back! I especially love what you said about everybody having their own journey. Weightless always come down to calorie deficit but how you get there is different for everyone. There is no 'one shoe fits all' approach because we are…

Do you honestly never see yourself going to Starbucks again? Maybe try saying to yourself 'Not today, but Thursday'... allow yourself a day a week where you go to Starbucks or Tim Hortons and allow yourself that treat (adapt like make it a small or don't add sugar, or get only a small cookie etc). Really savour it and say…

Antibiotics because I've been sick :(

Both soooo good! Honesty I have to choose both! Cauliflower or broccoli?

Why is it not letting me edit? I meant 7000 calories not 14,000.

Everything that the above poster mentioned :smile: I am used to working with kg but I will give this a go using lbs... 3,500 calories equals about 1 pound (0.45 kilogram) of fat. So you have to eat this amount OVER your maintenance to put on 1 pound of fat. You say you ate (on one particular day) at 2000-2500 (which is…

I'm not American and I've never been to a Starbucks but I know it's essentially a coffee shop... but sometimes I wonder if they even sell coffee! The way people talk about Starbucks you would think that coffee was secondary with all the talk about powders, frapps and syrups! Can you just get a latte? Get it small and if…

In your heart of hearts, do you really think this is sustainable? This sounds nothing at all like a 'lifestyle change' and to see you suggest that is really worrying. You seriously need to change your mindset. Listen to what the others are telling you. You have already crashed and burned and you are only two weeks in.

Love it :smile: I went through a steep learning curve all on my own because no one I knew had counted calories to lose weight. I knew VERY little about calories, nothing about BMR or TDEE, so everything I now know is because I 'googled' everything! The amount of time I have spent 'googling' is crazy! I didn't even know you…
