I look at old pictures of when I had lost the weight before and remember how comfortable I felt and how much to want to feel like that again. I also go onto the success stories on MFP and read through them to give me motivation. I haven’t got back into exercising properly, but before if I wasn’t feeling motivated I’d get…

Calorie counting doesn’t go hand in hand with being hungry. Your body may be used to a certain quantity of food and in the beginning it adjusts to a ‘normal’ amount of food it needs to consume in order to live. I’d say if the amount cross matches with other TDEE calculators you have tried then it is accurate. Try it for a…

Hi and welcome to MFP! I find looking through the success stories on the forum a huuuuge motivational help! Good luck on your journey!

Hiya! I’ve got about 4-5 stone to lose and am looking for motivational friends, I’ll add you :)

I’m back.. again too! We can reach our goals!

Try to distract yourself, the craving should pass. Or try healthy sweet stuff? Some fruit perhaps? Or if there’s something you want that is sweet, have it and track it😊

I’m about 17lbs up from my lowest weight, but still thought this was a huge difference!

I’m going to Egypt with my boyfriend in May, and I want to feel comfortable by the pool and beach. I want my old summer clothes to fit so I don’t have to buy more.

Late entry but I’m in! Challenge starting weight- 151lbs 10/23- 151lbs 10/30- 11/6- 11/13- 11/20- 11/27- 12/4- 12/11- 12/18- 12/25- Challenge End Weight Goal- 139 Total weight loss goal by Christmas- 12lbs

5’3 here too. Highest weight was 181lbs and lowest was 128. Now at 138 with a goal of about 115-118 but will re-evaluate at 120. I think I’d be comfortable about 122 but the rest are vanity pounds.

I know you want to built up with it, but I think that’s only necessary is you’re EXTREMELY unfit. Eg, can’t walk for a couple of minutes. Eh I I started, I couldn’t job the whole 60 seconds to begin with, but I slowed right down and kept up with the program, repeated weeks if I had to (but I didn’t need to), and now I run…

I eat 1200 too, and half my exercise calories. Add me☺️

Definitely a difference! Look at the way your bra fits. In the before it slightly digs in, in the after it is salt to your skin.

Unfortunately they don’t have a smaller one in this make but I do think it’s too big. I’ll look for a smaller size and a brighter colour. Thanks everyone😊

There’s a gap all the way around, but the helmet itself doesn’t move. The adjustment bit of the inside fits nicely but the space between that and the actual helmet is big :(

Thanks everyone for your advice! 100% will take it all on board :)

Well done!

My plan is to practice next week, haven’t got my start date yet so I’ll have time to rest it out. Just didn’t know whether to keep the padded seat, or get a new seat and cycle shorts with padding or something...

This is the bike.

I had a sausage roll from the supermarket. Got halfway through before looking and seeing it was about 700 calories! The thing was only about 4 inches long!

5’3 here. Started at 181lbs and my lowest was 127lbs. I’m currently 141lbs and my goal is about 115-118lbs.

I don’t c25k 2 years ago and loved it. Calories counted too and lost 60lbs. Couldn’t run the first 60 seconds to begin with, now I run 30 minutes non stop 5 days a week😊

I lost 8lbs, so close! Well done everyone for taking part!!!

Amazing work everyone! I’m 142.2 this morning, 2.2 lbs from this year’s goal and 0.2 from a healthy BMI! Won’t be under 140 for the new year due to Christmas, but new goal of losing it by the 10th of jan. hoping to be a healthy BMI by new year though :smiley:

I run at 6kmh on my treadmill...

I done c25k years ago and now run 30 minutes every morning non stop even though I couldn’t originally run for the 60 seconds. I can’t remember what physically changes I saw, not many I don’t think as I was calories counting and losing weight due to that, but I saw a lot of mental changes. I realised how mental running was,…

Put on 2lbs since last week through being ill, not running and not counting calories. So 4.8 to go.. hoping at least some of that is water weight! But if not, new goal of being under 140lbs by the 10th of Jan when my boyfriend visits😊

Week 5: 12th: 146.8 19th: 145.4 26th: 145.8 3rd: 144.8 10th: 142.8 New year goal: 140lbs 2.8lbs to go!
