I think that means they're too big, of course I'm still in the elastic waist phase so who am I to say lol

I loved reading your perspective and this part of your post really resonated with me.

I'm from the UK, we don't do that here.

That's so odd! I'm glad I don't have to have mine on my license. :)

Your weight is listed on your drivers license??

We're practically twinsies! :D

Are you measuring your waist at the slimmest part - about an inch above the navel?

My blood pressure reading today was 119/77 down from 130/94 in November.

5'4" and 218 lbs. Bust: 48.5" Waist: 42" Hips: 46" About a UK size 22, depending on brand.

Get them altered - much easier to resize clothing to a smaller size than to a bigger size.

I know what you mean. I went to a restaurant for a meal with family to celebrate a special occasion. I chose a dish I have had before, something which I would have happily enjoyed a dessert afterwards in the past. This time, however, I was too full to even finish the main. It felt good to feel that full and satisfied! I…

So far I have been measuring out a tablespoon using a measuring spoon, but the label doesn't state how many mls that is - I assumed 15. I am going to pour some water from the spoon into a measuring jug to find out, so I know for future reference.

I don't eat after midnight. At first it started to avoid any confusion over which day to log my food on if I eat something past midnight, but now I find it helps me pace my meals out better over the day.

6.2 lbs down so far this year.

I tried a few different flavours and they were all very nice - cookie dough, vanilla, chocolate and mint chocolate chip. My favourite is vanilla and my fiance's is mint chocolate. He is hoping to try the cinnamon roll one soon though.

Start believing your wife, your efforts are paying off more than you think!

You look amazing. I'm currently 219 lbs and seeing just how much healthier you look at 195 is getting me more motivated to reach that myself!

My fiance ordered pizza last night and I resisted temptation and made something healthier for myself.

Non scale victory - a way of measuring your success which isn't dependant on the number on the bathroom scale.

Helpful advice from both of you, thanks. I have seen a lot of videos which mention incorrect form when doing kettlebell swings - mainly doing squats when you should be doing hip hinges. I'm a bit confused about how to pack my shoulders though, I think I need to watch more videos!

Oh thanks for the heads up! I just ordered 4 different flavours to try. Hope they're as good as everyone says.

Still no Halo Top in my local Tesco :(

Tonight I had mash, asparagus, broccoli, sugar snap peas and a king prawn, rice and lemongrass fish cake.

Just want to point out that even if eating 1200 calories a day leaves you with a current deficit of 1500 calories a day (for 3 lbs a week loss) your weight will decrease and the deficit along with it, so you won't be losing 3 lbs a week consistently until June.

Started using a free app called IntervalTimer so I can get audio alerts when I'm doing HIIT

My fiance made spaghetti bolognese last night.

I started out at about 1400 calories but as I lost weight my calories have adjusted to 1200 (the minimum MFP will recommend). Limiting myself to 1200 calories was a struggle, especially over Christmas, but since losing more weight the gap between 1200 and my BMR is smaller so I feel less hungry - although I am no longer…

Couldn't fasten my coat up (took me a while to notice because I like wearing it open). Also noticed I was struggling more to bend down when tying my shoelaces.

I know, it bugs me so much! MFP will help her reach that goal, and I already explained the importance of accurately logging food and not just guessing.

I also recommended it to a few people around New Years. One in particular, I downloaded and installed the app onto her device myself and showed her how to use it to help get her started. Yesterday I asked if she had been using it and she said 'No not yet, I have been careful with what I eat. I want to get to 168 lbs again…
