  • Re-starting omad! Naturally fallen back into in the last week or so, and remembered how good it feels. 126 lbs at the mo, would ideally be 120 :)
  • I've seen really good results with OMAD. I do tend to modify it and drink a few cups of tea or coffee with milk and sugar throughout the day though. Gone from 160 to 128 and the majority of that has been 18:6 or 23:1 (in conjunction with logging). I find it useful as I like to eat the same as my partner at dinner and he's…
  • Depending on your build, probably around 110-140 lbs (roughly). I'm just under 5"4 and currently between 120-125 lbs. Aiming for 110 as I have a small frame.

  • Bought a pair of 28 inch waist jeans. When they arrived I realised that my 'waist' is a lot higher than these jeans are cut for. They sit a bit under my bellybutton, definitely not on the narrowest part of my torso, BUT they are only a tiny bit tight! Not bad!
  • After I hit my mini goal of 125 and a 28 inch waist I got a new job and pretty much maintained since then. Next mini goal is 120 and a 27 inch waist!

  • I'm on my last 10 lbs or thereabouts. Aiming to lose a pound a week for the next ten weeks. At this point I just want to get the final sprint done!
  • A quid for a bag of apples/oranges/bananas is not expensive. Berries are a little more expensive, yeah, but they are only about as expensive as a box of muffins or big bag of crisps.
  • 5 foot 3 and three quarters 125 lbs UK size 10, I think that's a US 6?
  • 5 ft 3 and three quarters. Start weight - 160 Current weight - 125 First goal - 120 Ultimate goal - around 110 or a 26 inch waist. Range will probably end up being 110-113 or similar. Don't want to go below 110 cos then I can't give blood.
  • Had my new patient check at the Dr's today. The nurse who took my waist measurement remarked 'I had a waist like that once!' Cue big grins from me.

  • Yep, weighing everything is vital! I've got about 6 lbs left to go. Things haven't slowed down that much but for me the struggle is mental - the temptation is to just go 'oh well, the last few pounds don't matter that much'. Just keep plugging away and you'll get there.
  • Started at 28.3, now at 22.4. My first goal weight will put me at 21.3.

  • Yep, it's natural for your weight to fluctuate temporarily due to hormones :) stick with the program and you'll be back to where you should be in a few days.

  • Sorry for the belated reply! I lost slow and steady at a bit over 2 lbs a month, and it took me about a year to get to 130. I stuck to half a lb per week rate of loss and tried to get 10,000 steps most days. Sometimes I do Intermittent Fasting which is great for keeping me fuller on fewer calories - I usually skip…
  • Another 5'3" checking in! First goal weight is 120 (currently about 8 lbs away) but I'd like to eventually work my way down to 110.
  • Go into 'Goals', and set it to 'maintain my weight'. Mfp will work out the calories that you need to eat to maintain that weight :) You should be eating more than 1200-1350 to maintain (assuming you are weighing your food accurately) - I'm shorter and a tad lighter than you (5'3" and 128 lbs) and I maintain on 1620 even…
  • Update: 7.6 lbs left to go til goal! Slowly but surely, it's coming off. The last stretch seems to take so long...
  • Went to a family do and saw people I hadn't seen since Christmas. They didn't stop going on about my weight loss and how good I looked :) Put on a pair of trousers I haven't worn for a while and realised I can pull them down without unbuttoning, lol. Haven't run for a while after finishing C25K a few months ago, got on the…

  • 31 lbs in 14 months (well, maintaining over December), from 160 to 129. I'm 5'3" too :) slow and steady can be a bit exasperating sometimes but it all adds up! I've got 9 lbs left to go and it'll probably take me another 4 months.
