You look fantastic. I too have found it more rewarding to look at other goals rather than just weight. While I am losing weight at the moment the main point of the weight loss was to improve my speed and also specifically for a 13km run I have coming up next weekend. I've done the run before but I wasnt able to run the…

Its accuracy depends on the lighting and back ground and probably camera quality but I've been using nettlo which scans body and gives various measurements and you can compare 2 scans. Its not a photo but a 3d render of your body. I've done a couple but am due to do another one which I think I should be able to see a more…

I've been toying with the idea of getting one. I talked myself out of getting one at the beginning, not sure I really wanted to see how bad it was. I planned to use one to help set my goal weight range as when I was younger I always weighed more than I looked when slim so I never really put too much focus on weight. Now I…

Alternating shoes gives them a chance to dry out properly so less smelly and also allows the cushioning in the shoe to fully decompress. Also if you are heavier you will wear a shoe out faster as well as what type of surface you wear your shoes on. I rotate my shoes through uses as well. Eg my running shoes will become my…

In addition to the above I was initially prescribed a compression sock for 3 months all day off for sleep. Then transitioned to wearing for exercise only. That was by a podiatrist.

I saw people talking about digital scales having a memory on here the other day but they I think most seemed to say that weighing something else reset it if the scale had a memory.

Has it always been low? I only became aware of mine when I started donating blood and people would comment on it/ask if I used to be an athlete that type of thing. Mine turned out to be a thyroid issue- on medication and still obese mine fluctuates between 50-55, I think the lowest I noted was 40 when unmedicated.

Your going to lose weight from all over your body not one area at a time, its trying to say you might lose proportionally more from your face first and then as all over body fat is continued to be lost you might start losing proportionally more from your arms next. Your not going to lose all the excess fat from your face…

Yes, I meant percentages for each kg lost is 27% LBM and 73%. So my current loss of 6.7kg appears to be 1.8kg of LBM and 4.9kg of fat. Thanks @ccsernica for the link, prob my poor wording affected my google search results.

So you lost the weight at 22 but since then have had 2 children the youngest of which is 17months. What did your tummy look like before you fell preg with the first child? How old was your youngest when you got your current weight? You'll need to give it 2 years from when you hit maintenance weight to see how much your…

I am suppose to be training for a 13km in a month. I was doing well on my training plan until I tried 10km too early in the day and got heatstroke. Been a bit all over the place since then. I was doing 2 x 5km runs a week and the added in a 3rd run which I was making progressively longer each week. My 5km times got better…

Great job @jefamer2017 that means your almost out of the obese range! I am the same height and age and have just gotten below 200. Hope to be out of the obese range by end of June.

I would like to be a size 12 which is prob more like what I looked like at size 10 back in the day not sure what that will be weight wise now. I haven’t been a ten size since uni and I think I was around 65kg at the time. The very top of my bmi though. Right now my focus is losing weight to be able to run faster. I am…

I'd keep doing what your doing for the next 4 weeks and then low salt, low carb in the last week and no strenuous exercise 3-4 days prior to the weigh in.

Different exercise will affect people differently, cardio for me often has the opposite affect. The last thing I want after a run is food but strength training and its hard to keep me out of the fridge. Also for me time of day for exercise can also have an impact. Its usually after my evening run that I dont want dinner. A…

My TOM seems to be different from the majority of people on here. I get loose bowels for a day 3-4 days before hand and often a surge in energy the day before. So I am actually lightest the day before it starts. Appetite doesnt seem greatly different though the day it starts I may have an energy slump (or that could just…

I am relatively short at 5"4, when I started this time I could stand to lose at least 70pds (wow thats daunting when I put it like that). So far I've lost 10pds and like you tummy bloating has gone down which is noticeable in my non stretchy work skirts but not to anyone else as I am wearing the same shirt which covers it.…

If you go from zero water one day to 2ltrs the next your body will hold onto a lot of that water thus showing a weight gain. If you then regularly consume 2ltrs it will adapt and know it doesn't need to store water for times of drought. Also sodium consumption can be a factor too. Large variances in day to day sodium…

Its done in steps- look them up. In group fitness classes there's often a audible groan around the group when the trainer mentions burpees. But they are a great all over body workout and yes they are hard.

As far as I know jeans still go by the predicted waist measurements. If your hips are 28inches then statistically based on body proportions your waist will be 21inches (using the ratio of 0.75). Fashion has changed where the top of jeans/pants sit. When I was younger the top of jeans and pants sat just below your belly…

I think they are 31 because they are designed to fit someone with a 31inch waist which based on general body proportions mean their hips are usually x inches greater than waist measurements. jeans tend to be worn with the top at hips rather than your actual waist. In my prekid days I usually had to get clothes that had a…

I’d be inclined to do while body routines rather than a split if your trying to gain muscle. Maybe go lighter on the lower body on the Tuesday so not to impede your Wednesday run too much but still do some lower body.

You'll read stuff that says that it increases your metabolism. Although when you read the actual leaflet that comes with the medication from the pharmacy it only tells you that it suppresses appetite. I have found that it does give me energy that I normally get from caffeine/sugar so I have been able to easily skip my…

I've seen people on here say the same thing and that after a while it settled down and they didnt look gaunt anymore. Not sure if they just got used to it or like the extra skin on arms, legs etc it was just time that gave the skin a chance to shrink back somewhat.

I have a non-recommendation. Samsung IconX. I have small ear drums so the apple airpods are out because they are too big and give me a headache. Samsung looked good despite the fact not having a samsung phone I would miss out on the app where it does your heart rate through your ear and I think gives stats for exercise.…

Have you set your profile up with your height etc? That being said I took a stab at your age and height on the map my fitness calculator which was the only one I found which asked you to input km for a elliptical workout as well as time and weight (a lot just had effort rather than kms) and I got about 1550 calories (1.7m…

The only thing I would add if doing weights includes a dedicated leg day then its probably best to have an extra day before you next run, which can be tricky if you are also trying to get in 3 runs a week(c2k program is 3 days a week). ATM I am running 3 times a week in prep for a 13km race, 2 x runs are 5km with one…

Here's a super late comment. Do you know why you have thyroid issues? My hypothyroidism is a result of an auto immune condition. So its actually the auto immune condition that triggers changes in my thyroid function. While generally it will attack it which results in hypothyroidism it can at times cause hyperthyroidism.…

@Everyonelies I have similar stats to you. I spent most of last year bouncing around 200-210 pounds. I got back into exercise last year after 6 months off due to injury but just couldn’t get going food wise so the weight didn’t budge. I have 8 weeks until a 13km race which my goal is to run the entire thing. I’ve reached a…

Thinking its ok to have a blow out day cause it just one day except that its the 4th blow out day for the week.
