Oh heavens. This. This so much. I painted my toe nails the other night.. without puffing from compressing my belly and without the contortion to reach my toes from the outside. <3

Thanks for your post Chris. Its ironic that I have got to near to your starting weight in a year and that I could get results like yours in just one more year. Very inspiring!!

I remember that first few months. The stress. I have been there. Its very hard. So I decided as you have, to start with just one thing at a time. For me, it was not eating after 8pm. Then I started weighing and logging just to see where my cals were coming from. I was horrified to discover what I thought was a good portion…

Welp guess this is me. I just turned 50 and I have lost 31kg in the past year (68lb) Started Jan 2021. I was 106kg (233lb) and starting to notice that everyday things were getting so hard. Getting up hurt. I had to hold on walking down stairs. My core strength was gone. Completely. I carry all my weight in middle and torso…

As of today.. I am down 31kg. (68lb) and am now finally only considered overweight instead of morbidly obese. (current weight is 75.2kg (166lb)) What I have learned so far... -My feet have shrunk almost 1.5 sizes already.. Who the hell knew your feet got smaller???? (side note, shoes are expensive) -My Belly no longer…

Hi, Nico here, Not new to the forums or to the site but new to being 50. LOL. Looking for a group/thread home and to make some new friends. Please feel free to add me if you also want some new friends. I am from New Zealand and don't really know many ppl in Aus. I have lost about 22kg and am about half way to my goal. And…

Hello. Please also feel free to add me. I also have PCOS and had 100lb to lose. Almost halfway there. We can do it. :)

Some good ideas in there. Thankyou. As I don't live in the United States, A lot of the foods I eat aren't listed so I get them from the packaging and such. I am a bit pedantic about that. Also. I took a month break from my exercise to get my baseline so I have already done that. Just have to try this and see how it goes.

Try resetting it. put it in the charger and press a pin into the spot at the base of the cradle for 3 or 4 secs. fixed mine right up

OP.. Its a bit like going onto a fertility site and telling people they dont need to track their cycles to get pregnant..cause you didn't and got pregnant anyway.. Most of us here track..because we want to. It works and we like it. Like WW or any other of a number of methods. Bottom line is.. what we were doing, made us…

well my 2c worth is my own experience. I am not a breakfast person. I dont eat for first 2 hrs after i wake or i get stomach cramps. but when i do i have discovered a few things. Firstly cereal makes me hungry really quickly. A poached eat on toast does not. plain toast lands somewhere in the middle. So seems sugar first…

Sorry. no. I would. explode or melt or freak out or something. I need to know I am heading in the right direction. And I havn't lost size in weeks so its the only reliable indicator I have atm. But that being said. Go you. :)

Oct 2012 so just over a year.

Warning confession to follow: Did I have rewards planned when I started out. Yes. Did I get them. No. Partly due to time and money contraints and partly because for ages I felt like I just wanted to lose.. 'a little bit more first'. Then eating moderately and being active just became how I lived. And so dont really feel…

Its a great day. I hit that day 3 weeks ago.. and I am still buzzing about it. My cholestrol is within the normal range. I am no longer insulin resistant and best of all. My waist measurement is now less than 100cm. (personal goal) so what a way to celebrate being just overweight. :D I look forward to my bloods looking…

Totally stealing some of these.. and will add one.. Closer - nine inch nails. (yes i know its explicit...but omg.. its the perfect beat to run to) Yet to settle on a weights playlist. So keep the suggestions coming please

short answer...yes.. but am nocturnal. lol. Pukekohe here. for another 7 weeks then off to Dunedin. WELCOME Feel free to send fr if you like :D

oh i have some generic hrm that sucks and doesnt have blue tooth. oh you have to turn the bluetooth on your phone on i think. sorry just woke up... timezones ftw

Not sure if it works with that model but the process is easy enough. Endomondo on phone. Go to the 3 little squares top right of the screen Accessory settings connect to sensors and you are there. goodluck

Do you really want us to respond to that?

to Ms_Hiit thats some big claims. lol and wheres my creepy pm?

I think i draw the line at tattooing ones eye. but thats cause i am squeemish. other than that. have at it. I like people with a story to them :D

silently creep then upon discovering her profile is private..would have to FR

Welcome back and FR sent. Also anyone feel free to add me if you dont mind weird friends with a doctor who addiction, blue hair and cat ears....its a thing.

Personally I don't avoid them. I make the most of it. I guess its a matter of perspective. If my friends are foodies (and most of them are) they eat all the food. lol. Makes for less temptation for me. I havn't actually 'come out' about losing weight and they are only just starting to notice that I have lost. So less…

What is this ''goal weight" you speak of.. lol. I don't really have one. I know I can get to 75kg.. cause I did 13 yrs ago. I am only 6kg away from that now but I havn't thought about an ultimate goal. Having never been a healthy weight my entire adult life I have no idea of what I am looking for yet. But she has muscles…

Yes. by lunchtime. lolol. No regrets. ALL TEH YUMMEH FOODS

Yep. I Have lost 50lb and a not even 3 inches off my bust. bra sizes are a bit different where I live but essentially till i get to a healthy weight they wont drop in size at all. Just in density (sorry if thats overshare) which drives me nuts. So it really is a 'make peace with your body kinda deal' I am a G.. my daughter…

What they said.. First time ever maybe that it occurs to me, that the number on the scale alone, wont give me the body I want. Bit slow obviously. But I am getting there. Thankyou All :)

Sheesh how could I be here this long and not see this thread. YOU LADIES ARE AMAZING!!! I woke up today feeling discouraged to all hell about my weight.. Just started back lifting after 2 weeks off with chest infection blah.. and its looking like I am not going to lose this week. Which bums me out cause i gained last week…
