Yep 100lb exactly to lose!

Oh my God what is wrong with people who do this? A: if you're not pregnant, just overweight, its *incredibly* rude and insulting, and B: if someone IS pregnant, they will announce it when THEY want to, you don't just ask! Jesus Christ....

I always go over the sugar limit with grapes, cherries and nectarines, so I just ignore it!

How does this diet compare to the benefits of intermittent fasting? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting People seem convinced that very low calorie diets are silly, but its been shown that fasting for some of the time can be really good for you. After all, it's only natural, humans in the wild would not be…

I guessed myself 15% too big! Perfect pear!

@ctina197six that's a very attention-grabbing pose! Not sure that it focuses very much your weight loss but maybe that was the point!

This is very helpful, thank you. It wasn't including the calories from exercise in the calculations, nor telling me how much exercise per day or per week I would need to do in order to hit the 2lb mark. So if I was able to eat 1200 and then burn an extra 1000 on top of that, I'd be more likely to see a 2lb/week loss,…

5'1 here and setting my goal for 125 initially, as that's slightly lower than the lowest I've ever been, but I will reassess myself when I get there! I don't think I'll ever go below 112 though.

I wish! I want to get to goal by September at the latest (requires just over 1lb/week) but to be bikini ready before July would be amazing! Count me in!

That's amazing, for her to think that you're younger than her is a nice compliment! This! Maybe show her your before and after pictures?

Be aware of this. Whether it's deliberate or mistaken, people can act quite strangely about your weight loss. Some say that it's jealousy or sabotage, sometimes it's just a shock to them to see you so much smaller than you were before, even if you're still healthy. Some of my friends and family are telling me not to get…

Hiya, I'm 5'1 and I'm on 1200 to lose, it's been going well so far when I don't cheat! The loss isn't particularly fast but it's maintainable.

I've just started C25K and found it really hard to run for the length of time set for the intervals. I followed all the advice on this thread and jogged slower and gentler, even as slow as walking pace, and was able to jog for the whole interval each time, it felt great! Week 2 starts in a couple of days, fingers crossed!

I'm 5'1 and currently 184, I've been recommended 1200 as a daily target by MFP, but at the same time if I go under (say 1175) it says I'm not eating enough and I need to have at least 1200! I tend to offset this by doing about 100 cal of exercise a day (slowly working my way up from a totally sedentary lifestyle) then…
