  • Thank you all for taking the time to reply. It's really helpful advice. I'm going to look at coconut milk as I'm allergic to almonds and I can definitely make smoothies with that. Lots of other ideas too. Thanks!
  • Not sure if you're in the US, or the UK. Bravissimo do two sports bras that go up to a K cup (not quite an L) but they might be worth a try? http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/sports-bras/#/1?cup=k
  • I'm going to have a go. I've got the DVD but I haven't taken the wrapper off yet. Is there anyone here who's done it from a 'standing start' i.e. totally out of condition? Also, I'm recovering from a frozen shoulder, so I have limited movement in my right arm / shoulder. I'd love to hear from anyone who's had this problem…
  • You look FANTASTIC!! Thanks for sharing x
  • I'm 138lbs, down from 146lbs, and I've got a small frame. Losing 8lbs has made a real difference, I actually feel a lot slimmer and much more comfortable as my weight tends to go onto my middle. My goal is around 130lbs (which tends to be consistent with a lot of others who've commented on this post). Anything less than…
  • Feel free to add me. I'm a lot older than you but I loved your blog and the idea that your added pounds are only a sign of the lovely people that you've spent time with. It sounds as though you've had some amazing experiences. I'm hoping to spend some time in Africa, possibly Malawi, next year. I'm 5'6" and 138lbs. I've…

  • Fashion model far right definitely!
  • I'm 51 but feel more like 41! I've lost a stone since being on here which wasn't too difficult once I got into the swing of it. I've done this purely by counting calories (apart from a walking holiday in June) but am now looking for the motivation to get to the gym and work on my % body fat which is still too high. Add me…
  • I love walking / hiking and normally go on a couple of trips / holidays a year. In the few months before a trip, I go out walking most days but mostly for an hour or two at a time. I'm so hungry when I get back that I have to eat back the calories that I've burned but it does make me feel better and certainly tones my…
  • Hi Jordan I have a son who is in a similar position as you (6' 1" and 126lbs.) My advice to him is to try and eat 3 meals a day (or even 4). That's quite a big thing for him as he tends to get up late and then eat a big lunch at about 4pm which fills him up for the rest of the day! He also fills up on 'empty' carbs such as…

Two grown up kids (twins!). Doing quite well on the weight loss but can't get the body fat % down, mainly because I haven't managed to fit the gym…
  • Bump for inspiration. Thanks for posting!
  • Miss Saigon has the lot! I love musicals. Have seen about 25 different ones in London's West End. Am currently addicted to Superstar, the TV show in the UK looking for a Jesus for an arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar!

  • I often have days when I don't log because I'm eating out and it just gets too complicated to work out what's in everything. Conference buffets are the worse! On those days I do tend to eat more than usual, which probably explains why I've stayed at the same weight for a couple of months! Still, staying the same is much…
  • Hi there You are clearly a very intelligent and sensitive young lady who is facing some very real challenges. This does not mean that you are bad or weak or that you choose to be this way. I have suffered from depression and anxiety myself and yet, to the "outside world" I am seen to be a coper, an achiever, someone who is…
  • Garrett Pecan Caramel Crisp popcorn. Thankfully, you can't buy it in the UK, so I only have it as a special treat when someone goes to the US. If it's in the house, I have to eat it until it's gone. My favourite naughty pleasure but 533 calories per 100g!
  • You look fantastic. Well done!! This is for you.
  • The online calculator says 28.4% but my bathroom scales say 33%. I'd be happier if the online calculator was right! How can I find out for sure? I'm 167cm tall and weigh 134lbs but am very "soft"!
  • Ok, so this is pretty modest compared to what some of you guys have achieved but losing 12lbs has made a huge difference to the way I look when dressed. All I need to do now is to work out (not something i've done in a long time) so that I can tone up and get my body fat percentage down from the ridiculous (for my weight)…
  • What's Fiesta Ranch dressing like? I don't think we have that it the UK. What could you use instead? Thanks - sounds yummy!
  • Thank you. I'll see what I can do as I'm going on holiday at the end of August and it would be a shame not to maximise the work I've done losing nearly a stone. I look much better dressed but bikinis are very unforgiving! :ohwell: P.S. Sorry the photo is so BIG!

  • I win! (yuk!) I am 5'5.5", 134lbs, with BMI of 22 and I wear dress size UK 10 (pants) / UK 12 (tops) but my body fat % is 33%. It was 33% when I started on MFP and I have lost 13lbs but it's still 33%! I know I need to start lifting weights but getting to the gym with my schedule is unrealistic at the moment. Any ideas of…

  • First of all, well done on your weight loss and for having the guts to post your picture on here. You look great. As you've asked for honest opinions, I think that the shape and colour of this bikini has the effect of "cutting you in half" and therefore not only draws the eye to your tummy but also has the effect of making…
  • bump to show a friend P.S. You look AMAZING!! Well done :-)
