I can't seem to get the picture to be small enough so here is a link! I haven't shown my progress on here yet so this is slightly nerve racking! Here I am at 40lbs down, aiming at another 20ish

@NocturnalGirl photography/arts?

maybe open your diary so we can take a peek? Could it be water weight from high sodium foods? have you been taking measurements?

I am loving the challenges this week! I'm staying away from the gym (been feeling so sore, struggling to sleep and feeling run down so possibly overtraining) so this fits in perfectly. Great losses this week guys I'm so proud to be in this group everyone is so supportive! I have a job interview this week (soooo scared) so…

Wow :) I remember seeing your last story and you look amazing! You are an inspiration :D

How many calories are you eating per day? I was going flat out and not losing anything then increased my intake from 1200 to about 1800-2100 and lost 3 lbs in the first week. As for quick healthy meals, I love to eat a small portion pasta or potatoes with chicken, or curry (I love it cold which is quite weird) or a healthy…

Love the new challenge I'm already excited for the gym later. I now have a Polar FT4 and it is kicking my *kitten* big time x

Super excited to start this :D, I'm a bit gutted I didn't reach 183 by today but just means I must work harder plus I've had a difficult couple of weeks. Good luck all Name/ real name: surferfreak Current Weight: 187 Challenge Goal Weight: 170 04/09: 187 04/16: 04/23: 04/30: 05/07: <<<mini goal weight 181>>> 05/14: 05/21:…

Hi, I don't know if this well help but here's a topic I used to program my HRM when I got it, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/548645-setup-polar-hrm-for-more-accurate-calorie-burn-for-known-bmr I know it's for the Polar but it maybe worth trying it out with yours to check your stats are correct. It makes sense…

Great topic! I have been in the same boat where I was struggling to do my usual gym routine, struggling to sleep and constantly feeling tired. A few days off did the trick. It's all about listening to your body. I'm thinking of mixing up my routines so I will definitely be using yours as a guide :D

All I can say is your calorie intake scares me. I haven't read the other comments but I'm hoping somebody has pointed out that all you will be losing is LBM. If you keep eating like that you'll develop a damaged metabolism. I incresed my calories to 1800 4 weeks ago and I've lost 5.5 inches in that time!

Love love love this thread! 4 weeks ago I upped my calorie intake to 1700 -2300 and I started lifting weights on the machines (the free weights section at my gym is literally dumbells). 4 weeks on I am only 3lbs down but I feel a massive difference and I took measurements yesterday....5.5 inches lost BOOM! I'm no where…

bump

I actually just ordered a Polar FT4 so I will be using that age on it :) I'm really excited for it to come, I've been thinking of getting one for a while and this post inspired me so thank you :D

bump! Hm I apparently require the same amount of calories as an 11 year old, I feel young again!

This looks awesome! Name/ real name: Surferfreak Current Weight: 187 Goal for Easter: 184 Challenge Goal Weight: 170 Now I am putting this on my phone and in my diary so I don't forget :D

Ideally I would like to lose about 17 pounds then hopefully another 7 before July. Let the wishing begin

Eat more :) I had the same situation I upped my calories to 1800 last week and dropped 3 lbs. Good luck :D

I'm from Wales too :D I use MyProtein and my favourite protein shakes are MP Max True whey in cookies and cream in chocolate and Elle protein in chocolate,

I tried upping my calories this week from 1200 to 1800.....it totally worked and I lost 3 lbs :D I found I have way more energy and my workouts totally kick *kitten*! I was hesitant to try it but now I'm glad I did :)

I just made the oreo one and it is good! I used cookies and cream protein powder but I think it would be better with chocolate. I live in the UK so I dont really understand the cup measurements...I used 110g of cottage cheese and 140 ml water with 5 ice cubes and 1 scoop of protein powder, 2 oreos :D

Bump :) I need this thread for motivation

Yup :)

@Dizzylinds 26?

I did this in the gym tonight and wow my legs and bum were sore afterwards
