Congratulations on all your hard work. You look amazing and are such an inspiration. I didn't feel like exercising today but after seeing your photos I'm right back to it.

I was losing weight very slowly and miserably eating 1400 calories a day. I upped it to between 1900 and 2400 calories and since then I've been losing weight more quickly and much more happily and motivated.

Happy birthday and well done.

Happy birthday. You look amazing. Well done!!

I agree with onward. I tried the 30 day shred and I didn't like it. I gave it 4 days and I felt my motivation for everything else dropping. It just wasn't for me. Do things you enjoy doing. I love walking including hill walking. I feel a sense of satisfaction when I've climbed a hill even if I swear my way to the top. I…

I don't run but when I'm exercising I like anything upbeat. I reckon Icona Pop - I love it would be great for running. My husband does a lot of running and I usually do his running iPod every couple of months to mix it up a bit and so he has a bit of a surprise when he's out running. The stuff i put on is not necessarily…

You could give a subtle hint like maybe if you are good at fashion advice tell her that with all the weight she has lost she now has the perfect body for x style. If she is thinner than you or has a slightly different body shape you could even say I wish I had your waist, legs etc so that I could wear this type of dress…

Very interesting to see.

My husband lost 65 lb's and his main exercise is running. Of course he looked at his diet as well but he is very sedentary other than his running. He works from home so doesn't even need to leave the house each day.

Thanks for the code. Looking forward to trying these.

I have 2 NSV's from the weekend. The first is about 6 weeks ago I did a wardrobe sort to sort all the clothes that fit from those that were too small. Over the weekend I tried on the too small stuff and about 80% of it now fit and I've started putting together the bags of clothes that no longer fit. Also, I went on an 8.53…

Wow. Similar starting weight to me so it is good to see somebody reach their target and look so well.

Wow. Amazing you look great and it is nice to hear that it can be done slowly.

I'm on day 2 of level 1. I'm not loving it but I'm not going to quit.

I started on 1400 calories and within 3 weeks hit a plateau. I upped to 1900-2400 (depending on activity level) and since then have lost at least 1 lb a week. I haven't done any photo's yet but I will tell you I feel so much more satisfied and motivated. As a previous yo-yo dieter/binger I would highly recommend it.

Amazing. If you look up inspirational in the dictionary I believe it is currently showing your picture! Well done.

I did the first day of the 30 Day Shred. I hated it but I did it with only a few rest breaks. Not sure it is my type of exercise but I'm going to get through it and see how I feel in a few weeks.

You look great. You should be so proud of what you have achieved.

Snack on brazil nuts. at nearly 100 calories for 3 nuts you should have no problem reaching your daily calories. If you want to go wild have chocolate brazil nuts.

I jumped straight from 1400 to 1900 and lost the very first week. Reading around I seem to be a bit of an exception though.

I went out and bought 2 sports bras (at £60) they are a symbol of my commitment to the cause which 3 months in is unprecedented in about a decade.

I just put your numbers into the fat 2 fit calculator and it says sedentary (little or no exercise, desk job) 1660 Lightly Active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/wk) 1902 Moderately Active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/wk) 2144 Very Active (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/wk) 2386 Extremely Active (hard daily…

I'd suggest go for a walk or do something to buy you a couple of hundred more calories and then just go and enjoy whatever you'd most like from the menu and have a healthy day the day after to make up for it. This week I've lost 1.4lb's and I've had an indian takeaway, a pizza and a full carvery sunday lunch within that.…

Sometimes you can buy bundles of clothes on ebay which are useful for an interim weight. I'm kind of surprised nobody has set up a group on here to do this.

I beat my April target (by just over an lb) and have now lost 2 and a half stone since mid January.

I'd just go with slightly bigger portions that way you are still eating healthily just a little more.

Well done Kerry you look great and are inspirational.

Wow and congratulations. Inspirational!

Put on some jeans today that didn't even fit when I started and guess what they feel kind of loose!!
