Wow that is AMAZING! WELL DONE!!! You look beautiful :happy:
-
same here. although i dont always hit my numbers dead on... i often leave a little leeway for that unforeseen bite of whatever
-
I was the heaviest I've ever been since I was 13/14 at 144 (quitting smoking :grumble: :grumble: ) and now I'm 125.5!
-
I've always been a relatively clean eater (just binged and generally eaten too much!) but I've found that upping the protein, calcium and exercise has made my hair go from this dead frizzy mass to actually really glossy and healthy looking! As someone with curly hair (which is always a bit problematic..) i NEVER thought…

@cardbucfan - I'm glad your son's back! :flowerforyou: and your next message is a sure-fire way to get me snooping in your diary lol :tongue: well done for logging it all - tbh we all have those days! @frogmama - woah massive exercise session then! lol I definitely would have got some ice cream down me too. Perfect example…
-
Argh there's nothing i hate more than being hungry! Good for you for upping them - I've realised when I'm feeling peckish and I've used all my daily calories, its better to go 80 over and have an apple because otherwise ill snap and gorge on everything in sight! Ooo exciting travels! New Zealand is supposed to be…

I started off at 1.5lbs a week, but now I'm at 1/2lb a week because I don't have much left to lose. Tbh tho I'll settle for anything as long as that scale goes down!
-
great chart! thank you :happy: off to get started (glug glug)

I think it really depends on the person. Some people lose a lot of weight from particular areas and they're the ones who'll see big changes in inches. You must have lost that weight quite evenly around your whole body. You'll see inch changes eventually, but just because it takes a little longer to see on the measuring…

This is me! Exactly! lol hmm yeah I don't think it's normal, although this is how my sister and mum eat too. All the replies have definitely made me feel better, thanks everyone! It's good to see it's not just me who goes ridiculously overboard every now and again
-
wow!!! it really shows, you look great! well done:bigsmile:
-
@ cardbucfan - I hope everything's ok with your son, wishing him a speedy recovery! I was watching supersize me last night for the first time and he mentioned that there are hospitals in the us with macdonalds in them :noway: - very strange ... well done for carrying on logging! @ akjean - woohoo congrats on the loss! and…
-
yum thank you!
-
67lb loss! Woah well done - I see those bad days haven't done you too much harm :drinker: Weather's not particularly pleasant. Cold and dark and frosty, not in a cosy way! How's it wherever you are?
-
If you're wanting to go by BMI the healthy range is 18.5-25 so you can go down to about 92lbs... but I agree with everyone else - I'd just look at your body and see if you even have much fat to lose. Your frame also plays a part in all that - the low end of the healthy BMI is better for those with a small frame, middle for…
-
It depends - I'd say that if seeing the scale go up (even though most of it is probably just water weight) will demotivate you wait a couple of days (that's what I do :wink: ). If you want to hold yourself accountable but are worried about getting demotivated you could always weigh in but not record it on MFP. Otherwise,…

I started in September with the goal of losing 14lbs in 2 months. HA, haven't even come close. I'm 3 months in and 9lbs down, but whilst in the past I would have probably crash dieted my way down, I've learnt all about keeping lean muscle mass, strength training, body fat etc etc. So I'm happy to stick around as long as it…
-
Sounds good! I'm 125.8 atm (every little bit counts!) and aiming to get to 120-123
-
Omg I get SUCH bad chocolate cravings! I've found that what's best for me is if you can get hold of some good, sugar free dark chocolate. I find dark chocolate way more satisfying than milk/white and also because it's sugar free I don't get that manic "more! more! more!" feeling :tongue:
-
I start calculating the percentage of the run I've done.. then my average speed...then how fast I'd have to run to cut by time by 5 minutes...anything that keeps my mind off how tired I am! I'm a bit of a maths geek :glasses: I also remember when I crossed the finish line of my half marathon and how amazing it was. Relive…
-
That's why I've been focussing on building some muscle for a bit - for a 21y/o at my weight I really should be quite a bit stronger! BUT, that extra weight's gone today!! So happy! Still have the muscle, but lost weight! The first decent amount for absolutely ages. This obsession business is working - woohoo. Ah Vienna's…
-
Hi everyone! Been very good this week after a TOTAL disaster last week. Trying not to jinx it by being too active on MFP tho. Hows everyone been doing? Frances - how was Vienna?! Was pretty annoyed to see the scale go up recently, but after looking at my body fat I realised I'd actually lost 0.4lbs and gained 1.5lbs of…
-
Hey everyone, just checking in - I seem to be doing alright at the moment and terrified of jinxing it! Had a horrible (REALLY horrible) over indulgence almost a week ago so been super good this week to make up for it. Glad to see everyone's on track!
-
Hahaha what an amazing post!!! I've lost an average human head, and got the brain to go. How convenient!
-
An avocado? Some nuts? Milk? You could also have a square or 2 of dark chocolate (yummy, but with less sugar you won't get the moreishness of milk chocolate)
-
Go for it!! Especially if you can do the 8k with little difficulty! In 16 weeks you could do something like increase by 1/2 a mile a week and you'll be at 10 miles with 6 weeks to spare. Good luck :happy:
-
I completely agree with this. Yes, there have been one or two posts about skinny v muscular men and a few about "it's what's inside that counts", but I think it's safe to say most of the posts are talking about curves vs skinny. And I'd just like to add that seeing as this is MFP I think it's safe to say that most people…

From what all my male friends say, and also what feels like common sense to me, is that unless a guy is a health freak the concept of taking a very thin (and I'm talking US 00-2) girl out for a meal only for her to decline the wine and order a salad, dressing on the side, is not particularly appealing. IMO people are…
-
Very interesting, thanks! Also, 176 lost?! AMAZING! Well done :happy:
-
Thank you for all of your responses! At the moment I'm working core, lower body and upper body each on different days (one day each, saturdays off) @carl1738 - I'd never thought of consuming protein before the workout, just after. Thanks! Maybe I'll change my breakfast from my beloved oatmeal to eggs... sigh, lol I've been…
