  • I'm 5'2, started losing weight when I was 139lbs, currently weigh 128lbs, goal weight is 110lbs! I usually eat around 900-1000 calories a day, more if I exercise, and I've lost about 10 lbs in the last 2 months. Including Christmas binging! I know that's really slow weight loss compared to some, but as I'm not actually…
  • I eat the same meals every day too! Mostly because they are the foods I know are 'safe' foods, ie I know they are healthy and low carb and no junk and will make me lose weight. And also because as a student I have a budget of about £12 a week for food and this all comes in at pretty much bang on! Breakfast: 30g of…
  • I've had bad relationships with food in the past, what with having strict calorie limits, portion sizes, 'safe foods' that I would eat every day and never branch out from, panicking about restaurants, not wanting to eat in front of people, etc - basically disordered eating but never a full blown ED. Was trying to explain…
  • A diet yoghurt with a little box of Sunmaid raisins mixed in :)
  • For thighs: http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpnyz3pWl51qiv21no1_400.jpg http://www.livestrong.com/article/426864-what-exercises-should-i-do-to-get-a-gap-between-my-thighs/ I've been doing all these once a day since November, and it has made a noticable difference both to look at and how my thighs feel! Waist: Hooping…
  • Height 5'2 Current Weight: 129lbs Goal Weight by VDay: 122lbs :)
  • Mine is set at 1200 cals because I'm starting out at 129lbs and only want to lose between 10 and 15 lbs...I maintain at 129lbs eating around 1500 cals per day so if I want to lose any I have to create a deficit! If I ate any higher I'd never get anywhere! (I'm including exercise burn/eat back calories in both calculations…
  • Typically: Breakfast - diet yoghurt - handful of granola - spoonful of cinnamon powder Lunch - apple Dinner - wheatberry or lentil salad - fishcake or vegetarian kiev or fillet of salmon Snack (only if hungry) - 3 Jacobs cream crackers with half a spoonful of red pesto
  • A low fat yoghurt with a spoonful of cinnamon powder mixed in - tastes DIVINE, is quick, and cinnamon speeds up your metabolism too. Also, super low fat, I have the 'Count On Us' exotic fruit yoghurts from Marks & Spencers, each has 65 cals, and a spoonful of cinnamon is around 4 cals, so breakfast for under 70 cals! Works…
  • Literally all I drink is flavours of tea, as tea is ZERO calories! With no milk, no sugar, and no sweetners. Black, Green and Rooibos are my current favourites. Also, you can get tea that's banoffee flavour, or fruity, or popcorn, so it tastes like you're having a dessert or a treat but in actual fact it's just a cup of…
  • I'm almost 5''3, currently weigh 130lbs and would like to be 115lbs :)
  • I've done low carb all my life, because my family eat this way and when I moved out to Uni 2 years ago I saw no reason to want or crave carbs! I still eat them, but very, very occasionally and never in the form of bread or pasta - the only 'carb' based dinners I do have will be cous-cous salad, or wheatberries and lentils,…
  • I tend to eat 300 calories for breakfast, consisting of museli and low fat yoghurt. Lunch is cucumber sticks and hummus, or cous cous salad, or ryvita and peanut butter, usually coming in at around 300 calories also. Dinner is usually fish and steamed veg, or salad, or stir fry without rice or noodles, followed by another…
  • I gave up wheat (and all bread, pasta and rice in fact!) a month ago, (although still eat cous cous and wheatberries) and without changing anything else about my diet I lost just over a inch from my stomach, it also seemed to 'protrude' less and I never feel bloated anymore. The fact that I feel much better is more…
  • Mine varies depending on supermarket offers/if I have my boyfriend over to stay for the weekend/how much I'm overdrawn by (I'm a student, shh!) but it typically includes most of the following: Museli Low fat greek yoghurt Cucumber Low fat houmous Cous Cous Lentils Mixed Beans Peppers Butternut Squash Onions Aubergines…
  • I'm up for it, although I might end up missing a few days here and there - I'm currently doing a research thesis and final year exam prep,so on my stressy/busy/library days I'll probably sacrifice the Shred in favour of something more relaxing! ;) Starting weight - 130lbs
  • If you have an Android phone, there's a really good app called Sit Ups (imaginative I know!) that gradually increases your ability to do more and more sit ups day by day. You start off seeing how many you can do in one go, enter that, then enter the amount you want to be able to do all in one go - eg, I could do 20 at once…
  • Also a newbie today! Last year of Uni, last year of disliking the bod! :)
