I'm 18 and I've lost almost 70 pounds I have quite a while to go though

I used to have 100 to lose (well 140), but I've lost lost almost 70 now so I've got 70 more to go :)

I do have a spike day (although I've never called it this) once a week but I don't even go near 5,500 calories!

Unless I'm eating out for lunch, dinner is always my biggest meal, especially in the winter, there's just something nice about sitting down to a huge hot meal when it's dark and cold out

My upper arms, I've found so many pretty dresses in smaller sizes that I can't buy because it literally cuts off my circulation in the arm, my chin too, I've just got a little pocket of fat.

Yes, and I've only been here for five days oh dear

I lost 8 pounds in the first week of weight loss, but then was when I was super eager to start and working out in every spare second, and I'm guessing a lot of it was water weight too.

Considering you don't have a lot to lose 2lb is a good amount to lose weekly, I am over 200lb and some weeks I only lose 2lb so don't worry :)

My favourite fruits are clementines and satsumas (I love any type of oranges basically), and my favourite vegetable is probably spinach when it's raw, it's perfect in salad, and any type of onion, I could live on spring onions.

I started at around 280, I'm now 217 so not long before I'm in the one hundreds :)

Definitely crisps, especially Dorito's, Sensations and Kettle Chips, it doesn't take a lot of effort to get through a whole bag of those, so my parents rarely buy them, and if they do, I'll always share with other people :)

The only person I have been compared to is Allison Harvard, I think it's because we both have big eyes, our faces are completely different otherwise, but that's only come since losing weight, I was never compared to anybody when I was a lot heavier

I gained two pounds in the Christmas/New Year period, but I've now lost that weight, it would've been a lot more if I hadn't eaten healthy for a lot of the time, I only overindulged on Christmas Eve-Boxing Day and New Year's Eve, although I think I drank my own weight in wine haha

Try getting a Brita water filter, it helps massively with the taste of the water, I used to only drink bottled water because of the taste of tap, but I'm saving my parents so much money by drinking filtered
