I'm in maintenance at the moment and my goal was originally 145, but I wasn't fully happy with my weight at that so I went down to 140. I've been around 140 for around the last year and a half and as long as my weight is within the 139-142 range I'm content and don't stress about it as It's bound to vary slightly! If I…

For my pumpkin smoothie I normally use 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 250ml almond milk, 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, a good sprinkle of pumpkin spices (or ginger/cinnamon/nutmeg) and then blend it together. I sometimes add 15g of almond butter if I need some extra fat to meet my macros and it tastes great, you can also…

My favourite is cinnamon, a little maple syrup and some almond butter!

I think it's just one of those things that you need to accept that you have to do and just get on with it, for instance I personally do not enjoy sweeping the floor, but I know that I have to do it, so I just get on it with it. Logging is no different :) For me I know that once I stop tracking, I get a little more relaxed…

It's not. Looks pretty clearly and poorly photoshopped, check out the outline of his back and arms towards the bottom of the picture :)

I also really struggled with this once I got to maintenance. I ended up losing another 5lb whilst I got my head around the best way for me to eat more calories despite not being hungry and being scared that I'd undo all of my hard work! I did it gradually over a few months just increasing it little by little so I didn't…

Loads of times! I'm 5'9 too and I'm currently at my goal weight of around 140. Whilst some people are positive about it, I do get a lot of random comments where people make me feel super uncomfortable and awkward by saying things like "You're looking really skinny!" or "you're losing too much weight", I never know what to…

It depends what type of place you're going to as to what kind of drinks will be available. You're not going to have a whole lot of variety at a nightclub for instance but if it's just a pub then there'll at least be some better options such as fruit juices, fruit cordials or diet soft drinks. I know Wetherspoons have…

You can get flavoured coffe in the UK :) Douwe Egberts do caramel, hazlenut and vanilla ones that are really good and available in asda/morrisons/tesco etc. Whittards also do them but they aren't as nice..

Sounds fun, count me in please :)

I'm from the north east :) Got a stone or so lose and some support on here would be great, I can offer the same back. Feel free to add me, anybody that wants to!

Feel free to add me :)

Feel free to add me :)

Wow, this sounds so delicious! Couldn't think of a UK alternative for the cheesecake pudding so I just spent a small fortune on some of the Jell-o one from an online US import food store. Can't wait to try this :)

I'm 26, is that still considered young? Ha. I was pretty successful with this whole thing a year ago but fell off the wagon over the past few months and I'm just getting back into it now. Feel free to add me :)

A couple of pieces of high cocoa content dark chocolate usually satisfes me, or if I want something a bit more filling then I'll have a low calorie hot chocolate drink. Not sure where you're from but in the UK brands like "Options" are only around 30cal a serving :)

Looking great! Well done on your loss :) Plus .. you've just inspired me to buy an Iron Fist bikini so thankyou! Haha.
