GW: 130lbs-ish give or take. I wanna hit the high end of my healthy weight range basically then adjust from there :) I have it set to 1410 cals :)

Oohh I see! So maybe that's why I'm struggling a bit as of late cause I need to lose less weight now (about 40lb odd to my first big target of 130lb) I hold my hand up, I tend to fill up on veggies rather than protein filled foods like meat and what not. I struggle meeting my protein intake, but I need to find the right…

But I'm agreeing with the other posters, if you are miserable, up your cal intake and workout some more :)

I'm on 1200 and some days I actually struggle to get up to 1200. I have cereal with semi skimmed milk for breakfast, that barely goes over 200cals. For lunch this varies, but it tends to be either a soup or a jacket potato with cheese and beans. So that can be anywhere from 200-700cals For tea, I tend to have Birds Eye…

Honestly you'll be happy you got them photos! I was the same, ashamed/embarrassed to take photos but I've started doing them. I've only lost 30lb but I can see a difference finally. And now I have something to look upon when I doubt the mirror :) Well done on loss so far it's a fantastic loss! Keep it up! :smiley:

Ohhh you have so much choice!! If you have a favourite cartoon why not a character from that? :D

Can't pull off a cute/sexy one just yet so I'm going badass and being the Star-Lord :glasses:

I few people have beat me to it, but when I was hitting the gym, I was also doing lunges and dead lifts along with squats and my butt did hurt after all that haha :)

Welcome! This is a really lovely community. My suggestion is if you're like me and feel you need the extra people, then get adding. I'm not saying I need them like a crutch. But it's a big help getting supportive and helpful advice off my MFP friends. Also, mentally, I tend to be like "I'll make this good choice to make my…

I have big calves too, back in college times I joined a gym and asked a trainer for some advice and they said it's mostly genetics :/ I really wanna wear boots too and it's a shame :( I don't wanna fork out more money for the "wider" fit ones :(

Ohh myy you have fabulous hair! Absolutely gorgeous!

Sorry to hear about your past, but it sounds like you're on a good path now :) Congrats on the weight loss so far! MFP can be a very supporting community! I tried WW before and lost a stone but then hit a wall and felt very restricted on it. With MFP, it's helped me just adapt the "eat less move more" aspect. Which has…

@tess77h there's 14lbs in a stone :)

Thank you assthetik! :D

I'm 5ft3" and currently 185lbs! :D

I mean I totally agree it's inappropriate it really is. I don't agree with any kind of shaming at all. But what I struggle to understand is that fat people have been shamed for years, absolute years. So they fight back with 2 songs and all hell breaks loose. Yeah certain sizes are really unhealthy, but someone who is a…

Wow loads of replies already on this thread haha! There's obviously a couple of flaws with the song: * The whole deeming good enough for men by "having enough booty" for them * The body shaming of the slimmer build etcetc But what you've got to take into consideration is minority here. I'm only 22 years old, but all my…

Oooooh, lovely hair!

Ugh the world is full of a**holes. Me personally, would just ignore the comments, but also use it to fuel yourself to get better. Like at the end of the day they were a stranger. You're probably not gonna see them ever again so why should they affect your life. I've been called fat by pure strangers who were adult men!…

Depends entirely on the situation. If I wanna get to the bottom of something, yes. But say in your situation, I'd probably avoid majority of the time. Unless it got to a boiling point where I would be like "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM" haha :)

I have 2! And I love them both :) My first was a autumn-y cupcake on my thigh :) And my second on is a Heart Piece fro Zelda: Twilight Princess on my chest :) The photos were taken when I got home after the sessions :) I got my thigh tattoo about 3-4 years ago now and my heart piece about 2 years ago now :) I'm looking at…

October :D What is your favourite music genre? :)

Size UK16 jeans now fit me :D
