  • 30DS is quite intensive and can be heavy on knees. I really struggled when I started and it didn't make me feel good so every time I gave up and felt like a failure. Try to ease yourself into exercise like walking or as others have mentioned swimming, low impact exercises are better off to start with and if you have access…
  • I gained about 3 stone in my first real relationship due to laziness and thinking "oh I don't need to impress anyone" and it just made me miserable and insecure that my boyfriend was going to leave me. We then broke up due to reason totally unrelated to weight and because I couldn't afford to eat the weight dropped off me…
  • I'm 5' 7" and have a really small appetite, most days I struggle to get 1200 a day, even when I've been to the gym. I have my calories on MFP set to 1540 to lose 1lb a week, but I rarely meet or go over.
  • I'm 5' 7" and my goal weight at the moment is 140lbs, I'm currently only 4lbs off this and when I get there I'm going to see how I feel and if I'm not 100% happy I'm gunna aim for 133lbs. I've never been either weight as an adult so I don't know how I'll look but I doubt I'll go any lower than 126lbs because apart from my…
  • I've had to go out and buy new underwear today because everything was too big (big knickers whilst trying to run are not comfy!) and I also bought some UK size 10 jeans (US 6) and they fit me perfectly :)
  • My current goal weight is 140lbs which will put me around the middle of my healthy BMI, I'm 5lbs off that and when I get there I'm going to see how I feel and if I'm still not happy I'll try and get to 133lbs which is still healthy for my height (5ft 7).
  • www.reddit.com/r/abrathatfits they have a bra size calculator where you take 3/4 measurements (I can't remember which) you put them into the calculator and it tells you your bra size. I went from a 34DD to a 32DD and all my bras are a perfect fit!
  • I was diagnosed with pre-hypertension in April and had to go back to the doctors every month to get my BP taken. I watched what I was eating salt-wise and exercised a bit more and they let me go every 3 months being checked. I went back last week to get it checked after losing 10kg and my BP is now well within the healthy…
  • I'm 21, 5ft 7 Bust: 36 Waist: 27 Hips: 37.5 oh and I'm 147lbs.
  • Hummus and olives for savoury and peanut butter and banana/strawberries for sweet :)
  • I want to look hot, but also there's a whole load of health problems that run in my family (stroke, diabetes, heart problems) that are exacerbated by being overweight so I want to be as healthy as possible so I give my body the best possible chance and I don't want to be another obesity statistic.
  • From Manchester and on here everyday, feel free to add me!
  • Any flavour of Doritos and crisps in general!
  • Now that I'm close to my goal weight and getting fitter I am really starting to enjoy exercise, I'm even starting to enjoy running, which is something I never thought I'd like. I don't just enjoy it for the physical benefits but it helps my mental health so much. I've suffered from depression for about 5 years now and I…
  • I'm 155lbs and a size 12 in most shops (Topshop, ASOS, etc) but in some shops (such as Dorothy Perkins) I can fit into a 10.
  • Followed you! I'm not totally dedicated to weight loss but I do post quite frequently about the gym and my meals and weigh-ins.
  • I also suffer from anxiety and the first time I went to the gym I sat in the changing room for about 15 minutes trying to get myself together and I nearly went home straight away again! My advice would be to go when it's not very busy which is what I tend to do, if you're worried about people watching you/judging you then…
  • I usually have porridge made with coconut milk and water with a sliced banana or 2 poached eggs on wholewheat toast, washed down with a cup of green tea with mint.
  • Yes and no. I want to be slim so that I don't look weird when I'm out with my boyfriend or basically so I don't look like I'm punching above my weight, even though I'm not massively overweight (well technically I'm not even overweight anymore) but I've always felt like he's so much more attractive than me. I also don't…
  • Mine's always been Doritos, I can easily eat a full sharing bag to myself in about half an hour, I'm really bad with crisps in general! I'm also awful with pizza/fried chicken/takeaways in general. One of the reasons I became a pescetarian just so I wouldn't have the temptation!
