  • Hey way to go brother!!! Losing 100lbs (even getting close) is no easy feat! Much respect and keep that up... health pays! 👌🏽👍🏽
  • 45!????? Neverrrrrrrrrr 😝🤪😝🤪 Don’t look a day older than 35🤩 From my social experience... it’s harder to put down the 🍷 after 40 than it is the scale digits but you have to train your body to burn the calories more efficiently. I’m 39 and less is more. Shorter, snappier workouts... keeping lunches light to save calories…
  • Absolutely.... there is no time like the present! Set your mind and make sure it’s set good.... can prep yourself all the way to the moon but if your heart ain’t in it... it ain’t happening! Luckily for you, sounds like your mind is set... probs it to yourself. The results will take time... Rome wasn’t built in a day! All…
  • Stay motivated.... even when you slip up! Off you go 👌🏽
  • Remember the bio impedance scales aren’t wholly accurate but more of an indicator. Obv you’ve done well to get where you are but I did low carb (for me) around 120 to 150 grams combined with much higher protein (yep it’s monotonous and boring) but it got my body fat down and muscle mass up. Also try some fasted (early…
  • Mate that’s brilliant!! Very similar to my starting point... but you’ve done it quicker! 4 stones took me under 11 months but it’s staying off at maintenance. I’m currently hovering at 77kg and going lower is a struggle. I won’t attempt to drop further until after new year! Well done
  • When you want something bad enough, you just do it. Weight loss is calories in/out but mind-set is huge. I’d dieted god knows how many times but always packed it in when a better offer off food/drinks.. social outings reared it’s head! You can still do those things... just account for them and remain within limits. Do it…
  • Bet you both feel great! Impressive when the dedication pays off!! Nice motor too 😛
  • Slow and steady wins the race... it’s a life change as well as a challenge! Good luck
  • Wow we still going with this!!!! The pan sure got hot on this 1....🍳🍳🍳!! 🤪🤪. Ya gotta love a calorie deficit!!
  • The gal done good!!! Sometimes the body needs a break from the deficit.... try cycling your carbs! Info on that is widely available on the net... might re-invigorate your efforts! 😁
  • Absolutely no argument and no offence intended. Anybody starting out on weight loss ultimately has to make their own informed choices! Well done on the 60lbs btw. Take care
  • No disrespect to bubus but I think his opinion lies in tatters! You actually raise a valid point however, when does the counting end? Slightly distrust myself to stop and if I do, weigh in weekly and have an alarm bell weight. I have predominantly been in a deficit for over a year and my body is now struggling with it to…
  • If your body didn’t care about the maths, your body wouldn’t gain the weight/fat. Saying that, there are many options to fat loss.. counting cals is one that can be consistently followed and lead to pretty fast results.
  • Bro I saw the moobs and it completely resonates with me! It was part of the reason amongst other things that I needed to shift the fat! I had a uncomfortably big chest, flabby, droopy and after 57lbs lost, I’m in a much happier place but I hit my chest hard to make sure I had a muscle base to drop down to. Yea, I’ve got…
  • Like other posters may have alluded, it’s a maths game!! Get a scale, embrace the counting. You actually realise how much extra you have been consuming - an eye opener! Unless there’s a medical condition stalling your process, if you put less in the weight will/has to come off. But the process has to be sustainable…
  • All I can say is it gets a whole lot easier but don’t give up until you get there!! Get a scale and embrace the calorie counting... it actually helps you to think about the process!! Good luck
  • You’re in the right place! MFP is full of weight/fat losing winners!! I’m Nearly double your age and transformed myself in a year losing 57lbs. 2 things to note, 1 persist persist as that’s when the results come and 2, I found losing ‘fat’ is ever so slightly easier when you keep yourself occupied and busy. It’s when you…
  • 41-43!! I’d put my (toy) car on it!!!🤪🤪🤪
  • 4 stones down.... 1 more to boot!! Happy to inspire or be inspired! 😁
  • Don’t be demotivated, that’s the difference between those who do and don’t. You just have to trust that the change will come. It’s very difficult but the magic happens. I sometimes get on the scale and expect to see a far greater number as I’ve been there for 10 years plus. Set your mind and off you go. Weigh in…
  • I hear you!! I’ve trained in my garage alone since March... yes it’s covid safe and cheaper but god, sometimes I really have to be booted into there by my missus who’s drilled to remind me about my goals! Music is my saviour and the fact I snap my exercises occasionally to get somebody else in my contacts list off the…
  • 1, patience, 2, try harder! It’s a maths thing... depends on how much you have to lose also. Make sure mfp stats and your goals are set, log accurately and the scale should budge or your body composition will change. As I say, depends on how much fat you are carrying on the first place. Personally I lost 2-3kg in 7-10…
  • Well I’ll make hay while the sun shines!! 😛😛 Love weights too, actively on day 367 and 4 stones down with perhaps another to go... happy to be added! 👍🏽
  • Congrats!! Not sure how much you can do in 2 weeks apart from eat light and healthy and do some cardio (running works for me)! You might lose a little water weight and feel better for it. Anything more will take more time! Good luck
  • Bloody hell!!!! Have I missed the party!?!?🤪🤪 Anyway West Yorkshire here... I’m not new but been off community for a while to just get on with it. I’m On a 250 day streak and 3.2stone down. Closer to target weight but it’s getting much harder. 💪🏾💪🏾 happy to inspire or be inspired!
  • Happy to be added, lost 30lbs... still at it!! Join me
  • Love DOMS.... like u say it shows you are working and recovering! Keep the BCAAs up too... might be placebo but they always get me through even after a lay-off when it’s hard to get out of bed after an intense deadlifting sesh! Also, light work outs following intense ones help. Just to stretch and get some blood into the…
  • 👆agree! U can’t beat a hard floor.. 😝
  • UK here.... open diary! 140plus day streak and almost 2stone down.... add away!
