Thank you! I basically walk everywhere: to work, university, shops, friends... I used to get a bus pass, but stopped and only take it when I really need to. This means that I walk for 40min to get to work, and 40min back everyday, so I do need to plan time for this. It may seem daunting, but walking gets a lot easier, and…

8 lbs in 25 days is amazing, well done! Sounds like you should continue what you're doing! But since you asked, apart from counting calories and tracking steps: - I also watch my macros: 50% carbs, 30% fat, 20% protein - I usually spread my calories into 3 x 300kcal meals, and 2 x 200kcal snacks in between - I avoid sugar,…

Thank you! I think it's great that you see it as a sugar addiction too; I found it really helpful psychologically, to actually admit that. Because that's what cravings are! Just sugar calling for more sugar - in vast quantities and constantly. It's nothing more profound or Freudian than that, and I refuse to let my body be…

Yay! :^) Thank you! And good luck to you! <3

What do you mean 'factoring'? I don't eat back any 'calories burnt' with steps, if that's what you're asking. I've been eating 1200-1300kcal/day regardless of if i've walked 500 or 20000 steps that day.

1200kcal/day is totally doable though! I've been eating 3 x 300kcal meals and 2 x 200kcal snacks a day - i basically eat every 3 hours. I've been finishing my masters degree all summer as well, and I've felt more energetic than when I was eating junk food :^)

You can ask me. The average is -2.92 lbs/week to be precise.

I'm glad I could inspire you! I found it motivating to see success stories with tall girls too; easier to relate to and we're a rare breed! I've always felt like i stuck out with my height anyway, like i had an imposing physique. So being overweight only made that feeling worse, I felt like king kong, it was even…

Awesome! :^D Don't forget to take pictures of yourself too! You'll notice changes you wouldn't have been able to appreciate otherwise, which will push you to continue even more. Good luck, and don't hesitate to add me as a friend if you need advice/support ((:

Hey! Thank you! And that's totally cool, I'm happy for my progress to be shared if it gives people the motivation they need to continue (: Forcing myself to take pictures every few weeks has really helped me continue. Even the 2nd picture was a shock when I compared it to the first! I never would have seen the difference…

Well done on your weight loss, 45lbs is amazing already! And thank you for your support! I only started feeling my hipbones a couple of weeks ago and it freaked me out, hah. And I hadn't even noticed my abs until you mentioned it! Good luck to you! It's really lovely to know we're not alone on this journey ❤❤❤

Lots of different things, but here are some of my favourite go-to meals: BREAKFAST (300-350kcal) - Banana pancakes, makes 3 (1 mushed up banana mixed with 2 eggs, on a pan with coconut oil, and 80g fruit topping and 1 teaspoon honey) - 1 mushed up banana + 2 protein weetabix + 75ml semi skimmed milk - Bagel 'thin' + 30g…

Thank you! I'm so glad I've motivated you! Yay for being tall too! Whenever I used to complain about being overweight, my friends used to say 'but you're tall, so it's not that obvious', which is such a misconception! Anyway, good luck to you ❤

Thank you! I must admit, I was afraid I'd struggle losing weight with the broken foot since I was bed-bound for 2 weeks, but apparently, healing a fractured bone can burn up to 6000 kcal a day!? This still confuses me.

Thank you so much for the comments! They are very much appreciated - you'd be surprised how few people have commented on my weight loss, even close friends, so this feels great (:

Thank you! ❤️

Thanks for the support everyone! ❤
