  • CW 161 fluctuating 1st GW 140 Hi all, sorry to have been a bit awol. I have had to reevaluate some goals over the past few weeks, not all of them related to this weight loss health and fitness one. I have taken some time out to make a start on some other personal goals, which has meant my focus has been split as I begin to…
  • Sorry been so busy. 161 now. Didn’t quite get my target for September but able to focus more on fitness now after a lot of personal upheaval. Well done to everyone
  • Hi everyone. Been travelling a lot this week and back and forth helping out with unpacking boxes decorating and all the things you have to do with moving. Haven't found my scales yet. Hopefully be a bit more organised with food prep and logging this coming week and have located my scales by next Wednesday weigh in. I did…
  • Thanks. You are too
  • Hi all Had a Whole day of helping my parents move house. Tiring. But 163.4 this week 🙂
  • Hi everyone, Feeling much better this week , almost pain free, so planning on hitting the gym again for a bit of strength training most likely after I have finished work on Sunday. Though I haven’t managed to get to the gym frequently over the past few weeks I did manage to still do a bit of walking most days and am happy…
  • Hi everyone, Had a bad week last week. Hadn’t been feeling too well so I did comfort eat a bit more than I should and didn’t exercise as much as I should. Thankfully I have only gained a few pounds, which I guess is mostly water weight. Taking it easy this week till I’m back to full health, just making healthier choices in…
  • That’s great, I’ve been needing some positive thinking encouragement 🙂
  • Hi everyone, no loss of weight this week but I have lost over 1.5 inches so can finally fit into a black and white dress that’s been hanging up in my wardrobe for years. Few days of overindulgence at work as a few colleagues had their leaving dos. Gave myself a few days to recover, and will be back on it tomorrow 🙂
  • I never thought of it like that, but what you said was so insightful and true. I going to get cracking on decluttering one room tonight. In fact right now 🙂
  • Hi everyone, Hope everyone is having a good week. Heaviest weight 230+ ( I stopped weighing myself after I saw 230 and buried my head in the sand a bit) January Starting weight on MFP: 226.2 Current Weight: 166.8 1st Target weight: 140 Achievements: I’m finally got my BMI out of the 30’s and into the 29’s, so in the…
  • I’ve had days like that too. Best thing is: You we’re on holiday, hopefully you had a really good time and enjoyed yourself & Today is a new day, you can choose to shrug off past disappointments and start a fresh. Today is the first day of the rest of your life and you have the power to get back on track and make some…
  • Hi everyone, Starting weight 226.2lbs Current weight 168lbs Target weight 140lbs 🙂 This weeks focus for me: complete 1st 24hr fast. Get back to logging all my meals, as I got a bit distracted over the past week and a bit. Less dairy in diet and a bit more HIIT exercise.
  • Feel free to add me 🙂
  • Don’t give up. Switch things up a bit. Increase healthy fats, decrease protein a bit. Change what you do in the gym and try something completely new. It might work for you, you just have to try something until you find what does work for you.
  • I think walking is probably one of the best exercises there is. It’s free, less impact on knees, I can do it whenever I want, and get to explore different areas I’ve never been to. I started out just walking, no gym and managed to loose ~30lbs just doing this form of exercise. Map my walk is an ok app. If you have access…
  • Same problem if you get an answer, let me know. I seem to loose weight everywhere but my stomach it seems.
  • Thanks very much. It does get harder the closer you get to your goal, but I am determined to reach 140, see how I feel at that weight and if I need to set a new target and loose a few more pounds I’ll do that.
  • Going through my wardrobe and chucking out clothes that were too big to fit anymore, cathartic and gratifying
  • Make exercise non negotiable. Sometimes I’ve found that actually putting it in my diary. Setting out my clothes and shoes that I will wear to the gym and putting my alarm as far away from my bed as possible is the only way to go. Social activity always helps too, so if you have access to it join an exercise class of your…
  • I do OMAD , but not strict about it. I’ve just started keto, so I’ve found it a lot easier to go longer between meals as I feel full after a meal. I tend to do OMAD if I know I’m going to be busy but if I need to have 2 meals I do that too. I tend to eat my main meal earlier in the day lunch time and if I am going…
  • That’s amazing. Love the pictures which speak volumes for how far you’ve come. Well done
  • Hi, Welcome ,feel free to add me if you like. Great you made the decision to start. I started out 226.2 and now 169lbs and have a bit of a way to go to get to my target. It definitely is achievable for you too. I’m 5ft 3” and my target is 140.

  • Feel free to add me. Lost 57 pounds so far, have 29lbs left to go. Always looking for some encouragement & to be supportive
  • Mine is anything sweet, chocolate, biscuits, cake.... But I tend not to have these much anymore. If I must have a bit of chocolate it’s got to be the best tasting and worth me using up my calories for, otherwise I don’t bother.

  • That’s a great idea. My name is Michelle started on MFP at end of January used to weigh 226.2 lbs todays weight is 169lbs. Joined a gym about 2 months ago. I aim to swim once a week on average and use the gym for other exercise sessions, occasionally do aqua aerobics. But I have found as I tend to bore easily switching…
  • I started keto twice just under a month ago. I had some weddings to go to so was hard to stick to it initially. You will loose a lot of weight to start, a lot of that will be water weight. I can’t speak for the long term weight loss as I haven’t done it yet long enough to be able to compare it to what I started out doing…
