Take a look here for some low calorie meal ideas http://skinnybitch.wordpress.com Also the way i went about keeping to 1200 was thinking about what lower calorie options i could use as substitutions for my usual foods. E.g. i switched to weetabix and cornflakes instead of sugary cereal and skimmed milk not semi skimmed. I…

I was on 1200 for about 7/8 weeks and have now hit my maintenance! It is achievable so good luck guys. If you need some low calorie meal ideas and recipes take a look here http://skinnybitch.wordpress.com

However if you just mix your spirit with a diet drink such as diet coke or sprite 0 you've kinda solved the mixer issue

Tequila and gin and both fairly low

Haha i'd better not lose anything like another 13lb or ill be in real trouble im only 123lb now hahahaha. Thing is i was never big so I've basically just gone back to what i would have eated day to day prior to this. I'm finishing up some foods in the cupboard so yeah there's still low calories chocolate bars and cereal…

Http://skinntbitchblog.wordpress.com all the low calorie dinners i eat and a few extras. New stuff at least every other day

Just posted a cod recipe that i cooked today on my blog go check it out! Http://skinnybitchblog.wordpress.com

I've lost about 17lb and lost quite a lot of bum :/ think ive mostly retained the boobs. Im in maintenance now so im going to up the protein and get squatting to get the bum back and make sure it's muscle not fat

Well I'm concerned I'll keep losing, i think i already lost a little too much and no longer fit in half my clothes :/

If you eat the veggies not drink them you'll feel fuller because they'll stay in your stomach longer as your body will need to do more work to digest them. Have a big pile of broccolli or something with dinner.

You have to go to Aldi i love it i'm so sad we dont have them where i go to uni. I make a plan every Friday of what I will eat on each day of the next week ideally basing it on what food I already have. I then make a list of exactly what I need for each recipe. I get up early on Saturday and go shopping when the shop is…

Hey 5'7" started at 140lb now 123lb and just begun my maintenance! I have no idea how to send progress photos though. It is noticeable but obviously I started fairly small so they arent as dramatic as some peoples :)

I actuallt bought peanut butter for the first time ever the other day and I'll give it a try tomorrow thanks :)

What kind of fats would you recommend like what foods? Yeah i think 1900 is high considering I'm like 123lb i was planning on aiming for something closer the 1600. But atm I'm barely getting 1100 haha

Aaaw in so glad you liked it! Just for full disclosure I must confess I have been eating low but ive also been crazy sedentary and massively stressed which I think has played a big part in my loss because I'm so focused on my exams I almost was forgetting to eat. Eat well and dont go too low :)

I've been blogging my meals with the nutrition info if you want to looks there http://skinnybitchblog.wordpress.com

Personally I feel complimented if people notice my weightloss because they're acknowledging my hard work. Perhaps it's different because i was only 140lb to start with and only 123lb now so it isn't an enormous loss so people dont notice it a hole lot. I think they mean it in a you look great stop stressing about your…

Okay so basically I'm gonna make sure i eat over 45g at absolute minimum but no need to panic about trying to get 95g

Omg i love edamame! Ill take a look now thank you

For me about 120-126lb. I'm 5'7

5'7", 123lb and UK size 8/10 which is US 4/6

Okay that's strange official NHS guidance so does authoritynutrition and harvard med school is 0.75-0.8g per kg where is your source? :/

It's 0.8g per kg not per lb... well from everything I've read anyway

Can i ask how you get all yoir protein into your diet? I really struggle to find enough protein without it being a constant focus of every thing i eat.

Okay but for my at 0.8-1 that's max 56g for me hahaha

I think you misunderstoon a little I'm only beginning to look into strength training. Most because people on here are so keen I want to see wjay the fuss is about.

Thanks guys I'm definitely going to turn those tips off because they always bug me too bad.

That's not what I was asking about though is it :). If you knew mych about my situation you'd be aware I'm struggling with a really busy stressful time, not hungry in the least because of it and trying to shove food down myself at every opportunity to get it up. You'd also know that I'm literally going to maintenance on…

If you're someone who freaks over fluctuations of a couple 100g it's better to not weigh everyday. Try just once a week instead. If you weigh at a different time, had a high fibre meal, havent had a poo too recently, different times in your menstrual cycle, had a big glass of water etc.etc.etc. the list is endless you will…

Yes people generally would burn more after surgery because the body is having to do a lot of recovery work to repair everything. Also did you perhaps have to rest for a little after the operstion you may have lost some fitness and that could explain why smaller things feel tougher.
