Great looking transformations! Well done to you both.......................

I can't see your diary so can't help much!

You would need to reorganise the times you eat! Poo does not weigh very much 2-4 ozs per poo so deduct that from your scale weight instead. Be glad your body has a regular cycle of poo. Don't ask how I know how much a poo weighs- it was in my text book. Jasmin

Terrific you look superb

Fantastic job- you look tons better and enjoying life. I think a more positive handle -not sofatb....... LOL Jasmin

You may still be understating food too most of us do sometimes. As far as the diary is concerned you are actually doing well to maintain! Looking at previous comments and your diary then please get back on track to loose if that is what you want. Perhaps take a look at the diaries of others and what they are doing.…

Its hard to see the same person in you. What a transformation! Fantastic

I set mine to say go girl. I wonder if every time it syncs it picks a phrase randomly from a database of every one's choices? Weirdest I got was moonshn??? I don't have that many charachters for some of these sayings. How many charachters do others have?

Ahh, this is a side effect of an underactive thyroid. You may need extra vit C. Can google it. Jasmin

After a long period of annorexia or starvation, your digestive system isn't functioning fully. Therefore although you are ingesting the calories, you are not digesting and absorbing them. This happens also as we age. The calories are being eliminated. After a period of time , the digestive systems adapts again and starts…

This happened to me and was diagnosed with a low thyroid. But could be autoimmune (may need anti-immune drug) or due to excess vitamin A. Please see your doctor to get it checked as there are more reasons. Don't be fobbed off with 'stress' and you didn't say if you had a baby in the last three years as this may affect it…

Let us be clear here: The body can convert proteins to carbohydrates (its called deanimation and is done in the presence of biotin in the liver) It can do the reverse too but NOT for essential amino acids The body can convert carboydrate (simple) into fats using a reduction mechanism It can do the reverse but NOT for…

i think you are confusing BMR and TDEE

The key is to identify the factors and to know you have them, but there isn't always a solution, just a patch up and acceptance. Tell my friend who has MS or my colleague who is diminishing before my eyes because of cancer consuming calories. I agree that there are those who think they might be special (or on the long tail…

Which research?

I tried this with my fitbit on and about 90 cals in 20 mins, I just let my fitbit record it as extra adjustment along with my walking and embarrasing dancing to the Bee Gees- Staying Alive

If its an isolate day- don't worry but please don't eat less than BMR. You need essential protein to mantain muscle (type 11). Opinions vary on this but longer term low consistent net calories consumed would not be part of my strategy. Jasmin

This is a very difficult position for you. In fact the diagnosis I got was from my primary health care doctor (GP in the UK) and apart from one very brief interlude with an endo (who told me to live with it and manage it) I have worked with her. Whilst not great (and not very sympathetic) I have achieved good management.…

You are a beautiful girl at any size of course but you clearly feel wonderful now. What an inspiration. Congrats :happy: :drinker: Jasmin

When I finished my steroid recovery therapy and felt like the Blob and moved like the blob and acted like the blob and looked like the blob and saw the blob looking back in the mirror with my own eyes Then I stopped feeling sorry for myself

30 day shred is tough and you might get dispirited if you take it too seriously. Would recommend you dip in and out and as you get fitter you will be able to do more and more. Know that we have all been there if we have been heavy. I couldn't view your diary to comment more than just generally- you can be bigger and fit…

Amazing inspirational Share your next batch in 14lbs:bigsmile: Jasmin

Don't care how it is made , cooked, what is in it or any of that. The smell of the cooking fat makes me feel ill and it lingers in the street- let alone in enclosed spaces such as shopping areas or railway stations. I once saw them take the guck away from the back of a shop in a disposal truck.

It's the underwear that adds the extra weight on me!:blushing:

I would like to tell a rather amusing tale. I had cancer and lost most of my hair. I felt I looked awful with my chenobyl look So... I bought wigs, red ones, blond ones, dark ones, short ones, long ones, tatty ones, bobbed ones. In total rang the changes with almost a dozen different wigs. Even had a sparkly purple one.…

That's almost my breakfast every day! Great minds........ You can make yours with unsweetned apple juice instead of milk or even make it with water. Try lactose free milk. I add berries rather than apples, mountains of them in season- fills me up until lunchtime. Cinammon will add a sweet taste add until you get the taste…

Don't be despondent, there are a number of important factors here. Firstly losing weight more slowly means less loose skin, a factor we hypos have in our favour. Seconly losing weight slowly and with more determination means it is more likely to stay off, studies into recidivism show that those who lose weight for a health…

I agree with this and am not a faddy vegetarian- there is quite a lot of processed food in your diary- especially breakfast cereal and sugar syrup hidden in some of your foods (selected 5 days food diaryto examine). Soya products are very heavily processed and can adversely affect female hormones and I was told to cut…

Are you sure you are the same person????? No really, wonderful transformation and truly fit, active and shining! Jasmin

Have decided to try b12 patches. Thank you for advice Jasmin
