Well done, keep up the good work

Wow wow wow, well done

It took me a year to loose the weight

Exercise more, but make sure you eat back the calories. Muscle burns more than fat. I have noticed a massive difference since I upped my exercise in Aug.

Well done

Lol

I agree, eat the ice cream, fit it in your macros for the day, do some more exercise if you have to. I lost my weight by still having treats.

I am 5ft 10". Welcome

Fantastic milestone

I ate 800 cals of chocolate yesterday! For me it was a combination of not enough sleep the night before, pushing myself at body pump which then lead to me being very tired and grumpy. Food felt like a good idea - at the time..

Bump, just in case someone knows the answer.

I just have a square or two as well. Break off the choc and leave it in the kitchen, if you are lazy like me then it can help to stop you having more!

Check your body fat in the evening, you will be higher BF in the am due to dehydration.

I have a main course one, trimmed lamb steak, madras curry paste, cinnamon pod, bay leaf, 6 cardamom pods, crushed garlic and low fat greek yogurt. Really Yummy and low fat if made with good lamb steak.

Do not eat below 1200 though or you will definitely be crash dieting

I do not agree that 1200 is crash dieting. I lost my weight overall at a rate of lb per week which is a sensible rate. I did eat back any additional calories burnt exercising or even doing cleaning. I am now upping my cals to maintain my weight.

I expect it it just predictive text, I have to watch my iPad all of the time as it is always changing what I am trying to write, drives me mad! Anyway, I am great at gaining weight, just eat loads and sit on the couch, however I guess it is not that easy for you or you would not be asking. Are you trying to build your…

I would say no. In my experience your body shape will dictate that. I am pear shaped and my fat goes off the top half first, then stomach and then hips, bum, legs. If you are apple then I would expect that the stomach would be the last to go.

I have found the 1200 per day fine, but only because I exercise 3 times per week and then eat the additional 1500 cals burned over fri to sun. Worked for me, lost my 14lbs over 3 months, so a nice 1lb per week. I count my calories over a full week instead of day by day, but I do not go under 1200. I am used to low cal…

Hiya, I am 5ft 9, current weight between 133 and 136 depending on the day of the week! Starting weight 148. Toying with the idea of loosing a couple more pounds.

Thanks for the advice girls, lots to try. I would try something than just moan and put up with it!

It took me a year to loose the 49 lbs and I did this by the time my daughter was 15mths, but then I put some back on, about 8lbs. This year I decided to get back into exercise and I have lost the 14lbs I talked about though a combination of the 1200 cals recommended by fitness pal and through doing circuit training and…

Kids have a lot to answer for!

I have just found an article on google saying the same thing, I had not heard of this before, 2 years wow a long time...

Thank you, that is very kind post

Well done, you do look amazing. Extremely inspirational.

Thanks guys, my bmi is 20 so still ok. I do not really want to loose more weight I just want to loose my baby belly which as I put on 3.5 stone (49lbs) during pregnancy it streched my skin and now despite have good muscle the underneath and have very saggy skin. I do not suppose there is much I can do about it.

I have a weekly cleaner and she does all of my ironing, love it. She comes for 2.5 hrs per week for the cleaning and we live in a 4 bed house. She does the same things every week really so i still need to deep clean each room from time to time. Still have loads and loads of tidying to do with a 3 and 5 year old!

Hiya, just keep going, I always eat back my calories but usually on the weekend as a treat as I can not stand eating only 1200 cals everyday. It has worked for me. It does mean I gain on the weekend and then loose during the week, overall always loosing on a week by week basis. I think a week and a half could be too early…
