I'm 27 and 5ft 1, it's sooo much harder to lose weight when you're short! My BMR for my height and weight in calories is 1200 as it is so if I need to lose weight I need a defecit on top of that and it's so difficult! Feel free to add me we can keep each other motivated to stay on track and reach our goals!

Meeee :)

27 from Hampshire, UK! You're definitely right! Added you 😊

Regardless of what I eat I always find if I drink a whole pint of cold water before and another one after I've eaten, even if it's just a snack I feel full.

:| what is a fake egg?

I've tried this before. It just tastes nasty. Didn't have any other impact other than that. Tried it for 2 weeks and had no effect at all. As long as there is a calorie defecit whether that's through your diet or how much you burn during exercise that's all there is too it.

Never tried it but I've seen so many adverts!

Sweet and salty popcorn is good because it's low calorie and low fat and you can eat a large volume of it and it's so light. Alternatively if you're craving icecream you can try Halo Top icecream which had less fat, sugar and calories than regular icecream. Or you can smash up some strawberries and raspberries, mix it with…

Can I ask how tall you are? I'm 5ft 1 and my BMR is 1200 calories a day which may seem really low for some people but if I eat anything over that then I gain weight. So to lose weight I have to eat under that. I'm pretty small so I don't need as many calories as the average woman. You may be underestimating how much you…

☕ Coffee! Strong coffee :smiley: I usually have one cup a day but put in 3 heaped tea spoons, splash of milk and a spoonful of sugar and I don't feel hungry at all until late afternoon. Caffeine suppresses my appetite really well.

Thanks for sharing your experience! We're all here to support you :) I've sent you a friend request. It'll be hard but you're not alone <3

Wow, sounds like you've been through a lot but seem to be in a much better place now to make a difference! I've added you :) one of the hardest things is taking the first step which you've done now, we can support each other along the way. When your kids see how well you're doing and notice how much happier you'll be when…

Oooh congratulations! It's always easier when you have a goal and a vision of where you want to be :) I've added you!

Hi! Good thinking, it can catch up on you way too quickly!

I'm 28 also, short 5ft 1 and 115 lbs. I'm trying to get back to 98 lbs which I was before and quite happy. I have the exact same problem as you, I can restrict my calories to 1000 a day and exercise and it doesn't seem to budge yet if I even look at a pizza I'll put on 2 lbs. Sorry I don't have the answers for you but I've…
