I didn't think it was 'petty', but I recently saw a post on social media from a plus size bride about not wanting to lose weight for her wedding. That's fine, I respect that you're happy the way you are and your partner clearly loves you that way too. No one 'needs' to lose weight for their wedding and you should do what…

I turn 27 in three days. Today I'm wearing a size 0 dress I bought to 'slim into' when I was 21!

I'm five foot/115lbs and losing on 1200-1300/day (plus exercise calories when I need them as I'm very active. It's not too little as long as you're eating the right foods-which it sounds like you are. When you're petite like us low calories are fine as long as you aren't using them on junk as you won't get the nutrition…

I'm 5ft and 115 down from 143, aiming for 105 (ish). The last few pounds are tough! Our deficit is much smaller as we can't cut as many calories so we have to get really strict. Really basic rules-Having cheat meals (or days?). Don't. Eating exercise calories? Cut it to 20-50%. Weigh EVERYTHING and always double check…

It sounds like you're making drastic, temporary changes which is possibly why you're finding the process so unsustainable. You're asking 'what diet?' like there's a quick fix solution that you haven't tried, there isn't. You can eat what you like within your calorie allowance. Focus on small, sustainable changes. The fact…

Your body burns calories just by being alive to maintain it's normal everyday functions-this is your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). This is the majority of calories you will burn through in a day. Added to that are your daily activities which will be a much smaller proportion-this is called your TDEE (Total Daily Energy…

First off, five footer here. 5' 3" isn't really that short. Second of all, I think you might be misinterpreting what 'skinny fat' means to most people here. We would use skinny fat for someone whose BMI is normal but still has a lot of fat on there body. This often happens when people lose a lot of weight very quickly…

The way I see it this is a habit rather than a case of actual hunger, although if you cut out carbs suddenly that may be a factor. Your choice is to either break the habit-which will require willpower if you've been doing this all your life, or to adapt around it. There's nothing wrong with eating two portions while trying…

4.5lbs up from 22nd December-2nd January HOWEVER 2lbs of that is already gone, and I still managed a 1.9lb loss in December and a 21lb loss for 2017 overall, so that's a win. My trainer keeps us that it's not what you eat Christmas-New Year, it's New Year-Christmas that really counts. So if you're beating yourself up about…

I have a 200+ day streak and am 21lbs down last year. 25, 5ft, 122 (was 117 before Christmas) aiming for around 105. Because of my height my calories and goal weight are pretty low but I keep an open diary and post pretty regularly.

I've been logging since April on 1100-1200 calories, with a day off once a month or so. I'm 5 foot tall and started at 143. I've just hit 118lbs so it's been a slow race, and ultimately I'm aiming for somewhere around 105-110. It works for me because I'm short and didn't have a lot to lose, so my deficit on 1200 is only…

Add me if you like. I need some additional accountability over Christmas to get over those last few lbs off!

I use that PB2 stuff. It's low calorie, high protein peanut butter powder, and if OP weighs servings by the gram it will be accurate, however 1tbsp (the way I would measure a tablespoon) of it is more like 20-2.5 servings. So it that's what'[s being followed it won't be accurate.

I do HIIT classes 3 times a week and enter it as circuit training, general.
