body looks AMAZING but I would need to see the face (and legs and *kitten*!). :)

This is me!

Another one here with 50lbs plus to lose. I am currently 206lbs and would love to get down to 140/150lbs and maybe a little less! Best of luck to you all. X

bumping and bookmarking for later

I upped calorie intake from 1200-1500 net to 1800-2000 net approximately 2 weeks ago. I am exactly 2lbs up since then and it wont shift. I have about 40lbs or so to lose so I definitely have weight to shift and I am getting a bit disheartened and feel I should go back down to 1200 again as I was losing consistently on…

Hiya Lady, yes its only been a week but a whole 2lbs????!!!!! I definitely have not eaten anywhere near 7000 calorie so I am not quite sure what it is. I'll give it another week and see how I get on. I just feel like I have such a long way to go that 2lbs really puts a dent in my hard work so far. :0(

Gosh, you look amazing. Honestly, your tummy is fab. I wish mine looked like that. After having three large babies in 2 years, first was nearly 9lbs, second was nearly 10lbs and my third girl was 11lbs 4, I'd give anything to have a tummy like yours. I am hoping when I hit goal my tummy might have recovered somewhat! You…

oh I'm super excited about this....just bumping so I can download later. Cheers.

Just messaged you. Cheers.:happy: PS, I am a bit freaked "shooting" for 1600-2K though! :ohwell:

Wow, such a difference...you look amazing. I am need of major inspiration today so thanks for sharing.

Gosh I never knew that, interesting! My TOM is due (any hour now) so I must check this.

Hi all, thanks for the replies. I had a feeling that I wasn't really eating enough....don't want the dreaded plateau happening early! I didn't message Dan as I thought if anyone else was in the same problem, some of the replies might help. I would be thrilled with any advice as I am new to this. My one fear though is that…

That makes perfect sense beach-chelle....I might try doing that. My calorie intake zig zags a bit so I can hit 1400 some days after eating all my exercise calories back. I am afraid of putting on weight though if I up my calorie intake too much and then I am even more afraid of hitting a plateau!!! What to do?????????

Oh lordy, I've just started on Depo!!!!! I really hope I don't have weight gain. On it about three weeks now. I will have to be super careful with my calorie intake, I reckon.

Such happiness showing in both of your smiles!

late 20's early 30's.

Are you eating your exercise calories back or even partially eating them back? If not, you have a major daily deficit on the days that you exercise and this could be a reason why you weight loss is at a standstill.

Thank you for all the replies guys.....I've just had a re-check of the figures and my daily allowance seems to be set at 1370! I changed my goals mid way through my day yesterday and I had 350 exercise calories added and I think that's where the 1720 totals for the day came from. :blushing: This seems to make more sense…

You look fab....well done.

Anyone shed any light on this for me, please?

WOW, you look stunning! An amazing result and a very happy ending. Delighted that things have turned out so well and you can encourage others. Well done.

My goals exactly. :0) I am 40 next year and I would really, really love to be about 130-140 for my 40th birthday. I am hoping to get down to 150 between now and the end of the summer hols and then work on the rest. I could have written your reply above! :happy:

ahem....yep, I'd approach you. :happy: No seriously, you sound like you have the right approach.....one or two of my trainers in my gym are lovely and always approachable but there are lots more that I wouldn'd dare go near as they seem to be too busy or not interested. I feel because I am a newbie in the gym and have…

+1....simple and to the point. Exactly as above.

Haha, love it.....one to be proud of methinks.....big smile! Glad it didnt end up around your ankles.....time to retire them! :happy:

Delighted you posted this as I have just been searching for the same thing....I had a "spike" day myself today...totally unplanned but definitely a spike day. In bed as full as a baby big now and want to fall asleep. Mind you, I haven't done anything like this since I started 6 weeks ago and have been eating under or just…

Thanks Brent and to everyone else who took the time to reply. I know I shouldn't feel peeved but I do a little....will continue to keep to my calorie goal and exercise and hopefully it will show on my weekly weigh in next Monday.

Dan....I am 5.6 and am staying in around 1200 odd calories a day and exercising 6 days a week (7 if I can). I haven't plateaued (yet) and hope I don't so do you think I should up my calorie intake?

Ok, so I shouldn't really swim either. I usually do continous lenghts of the pool for 30 mins when I swim with very little rest, maybe about 1-2 mins over the 30 mins and then head to the steam room for 10 mins. I usually go for a swim to give myself a break from the gym. LOL Sooooooooo, I shouldn't do any exericse today…
