From London. 29 years old, 172cm SW - 83kg, CW - 74kg GW - 70-72kg. Feel free to add me anyone.

Just had a look at that first ideal weight chart and have to say its a bit ridiculous. At my lowest weight of 65kg (172cm) my doctor told me not to lose anymore and my pelvic bones stuck out and hurt if a bag bounched against them. According to that chart even at that weight I'm above my "ideal weight". BMI isn't great,…

I have similar stats to you 5'8, ~160 - want to be 155 and seem to osillating between 158 - 163. While I find it annoying, I'm not too bothered about it. The closer we get to our goals the harder it is for us to have a calorie deficent that it large enough to provide weight loss (at a rate we want) and maintain a healty…

Great advice!

I hear that. What works for one doesn't work for another. I think that we all need to find what works for ourselves.

You can have a look at my diary, its opened. I eat everything and i'm addicted to rice, there is no way I could give it up. For me portion control is the main thing that works and counting calories allows me to see how what I likes fits. And this site means i'm accountable to not just myself, so prevents slipping.

Welcome and good luck with your journey. You may find, using this you may not need to go low carb to acheiev your goal. feel free to add me

Tesco express have quite a good lunch range and quite a few bits (not the sandwiches) that come in under 400kcals

Nothing wrong with what you're doing. I personal don't log any exercise related to commuting to work. I think its best to include stuff like that in your activity level.

As you have very little to lose, it will come off very slowly. Its recommended that you aim for 0.5 pounds at this stage, but thats a person choice. stick to it and it will come off eventually. I'm not sure how tall you are but 10.3st may be you body's naturally point and remember you are still 2 stone lighter. half a…

Hi, you diet looks really good and I assume you are not gaining weight. How long have you been trying to lose weight? Weight loss is not linear and it can take a while in some people for them to see the scales move. How much do you have to lose. the less you have the longer it takes. Some people do better eating slightly…

Good on you for logging. I think that you should log you current eating and drink for a week or two to see how you truly eat, then make small gradually changes. For example, one change a week from some of the following change to lower fat milk make all cold drinks water eat bread once a day switch to lower cal snacks…

^^^This And base calories on pre cooked weight

I agree, it scary seeing the amount of people that don't cook. i'm not perfect and enjoy eating out and ready meals too, but nothing beats a home cooked meal. friends request sent.

I'm built the same way. I find running to be the best cardio to lean out my legs - combined with sqauts and lunges for definition. Also, I'm told doing upper body weights to 'bulk out' top half so you appear more proportional will also help. That said I hate doing upper body work and have learned to love my thighs, they…

I'm 5"7' and 3/4 (172cm exactly). I currectly weight 168lb (and loving it) and don't want to go below 155lb. hHave goal in mind to have something to aim to but keep it flexiable as you will know what you like and what is best for you when you reach it. Beacuse of how I carry my weight I have two reactions from people at…

I honestly think you're eating too much for what you want to acheive. I'm 5' 7"ish and and will require 1800 -1900 to maintain 160lb (without exercise). you may want to re-evaluate your goals if you are trying to lose and see rapid results with what you are currently eating.

The scale is not everything. take measurements too. Don't weight yourself so often and when you do also, try to aim for the same time of day - i can put on three pounds from morning until night. If you do want to weigh yourself regular, do it daily and see how you fluctuate over the month you'd be surprised. Weight is slow…

As water doesn't affect the calorie count, only the swelling, its best to measure the dry weight as you will probably cook it slightly differently every time. Which will also be different to the "cooked" portion in the database as we all like our pasta a certain way.

I'm having the exact same day! In London too, there must be something in the air!

Hi, I'm based in the UK, and I'm about the start my weights program ASAP, request sent!
