Oh and I have been eating 1200-1400 calories per day so far

Thank you :) To be honest if the scale doesn't drop but my body changes and I look toned and fitter then I will be much happier. I will balance it out only exercise four days a week rather than six and see where that gets me!

?

Thank you all for your help. I'm kind of struggling to think of ideas to get my fat intake up - you say minimal cheese but there's only so much oil and butter I can use when frying bacon sausages steaks etc. Regarding the protein, how many grams a day should I be aiming for? Again, thank you for all your help :) x

how would i find that group? thanks :)

i have rewarded myself with a month away to Thailand at the end of the year. It is my motivation to keep me going and it's also my reward for all my hardwork. it's a win win situation :)

my boyfriend broke up with me two months ago after two years together with no explination, just a lousy text, i felt like my world had come crashing down, i took a week off work and stayed in bed the whole time crying, eating and wondering what the hell do i do now. Then my best friend comes round, tells me to man-up and…

25 year old female, 5'6 SW: 157 CW: 135 GW: 125 Exercise: Monday - 1 hour body pump Tuesday - 1 hour spinning Wednesday - 1 hour Body step Friday - 1 hour spinning Saturday - 1 hour body pump and will be encorporating weight training x2 mornings per week as of next week for 30-45 mins

I know absolutely nothing about nutrition, what are the best low/non-carb foods?

Ah these replies are so nice and comforting to read! It was just one of those days, the sun was out, a lot of my friends were out and i got completely lost in the moment. i had a lot of fun doing it though. as long as i wont balloon in weight, i wont stress about it. thanks :) :) :)

no that wasn't blunt at all, i'm just worried i have my dads genes and will have this belly forever! my mum on the other was very slim, i feel like i've got a bit of both of them but unfortunately my dads belly! The problem is, i have used fad diets on and off since i can remember and i have never really put 100% in to…

I really appreciate all the comments.... The 'i've been fighting my tummy fat for 3 years and still nothing' scares me. Also the health issue ones. I may book a doctors appoinment just to get checked out anyway. In response to some questions, i do ab exercises but i know this wont make any difference until the fat has gone…

I don't have any pains or crampings assosiciated with it, it's just a large fat and flabby tummy that has always been there.

I love tattoos too... i currently have five but have my next one booked in next week as a treat to myself for losing weight and being down to my last 10lbs to go, i'm not getting anything that links in with weight loss but i am getting a huge floral design down my thigh because i can now wear short shorts to show it off…

I can relate, I have suffered from bulima for the past ten years. sometimes i can go weeks without purging, some weeks i will purge every day. Yesterday i had been out for lunch and was full up but still continued to demolish a whole packet of cookies, 2 yum yums and a mcdonalds... why i did this, i don't know, i feel like…

That's what I figured, the machines are never accurate with the amount of calories we actually burn and I don't want to be logging because of an estimate, I figured to stick to 1400 and not log exercise, that way I know exactly what I am eating rather than it say I burnt 500 calories spinning, eating them back but only to…

i'm 5'6 and 136lbs and my weight loss goal is 122lbs.

The best being along the lines of "wow you look incredible..." always a confident boost. The worst was when i was at a party a few years back dressed up as Amy Winehouse a "Cool outfit, a pregnant amy winehouse" ....i wasn't pregnant.

I haven't sinned yet but i'm going to apologise in advance because i wil be in two days. it's a bank holiday here in the UK and on sunday i am going to over load at my first barbecue of the year.... burgers, hot dogs, cheese, potatoes, ribs, chicken, mojiotos... mmmmmmmmm. here's to feeling guilty and hungover on monday!

Because i do it daily, wont my body be used to it and it wont make any difference? (i'm not sure if this is a myth or not!)

I went to my first Kettlebell class yesterday and i can safely say i am feeling it today. The class was tough but i felt so good afterwards, i started with 8kg but pushed myself and ended with 12kg. There were people who have been going to the class for months and said the difference it's made is amazing. i will definitely…

I logged the calories as todays calories so was already 220 calories in by the time i had woken up so only have 1000 left for the day.

Thanks everyone :) alot of the advice is weight training. any specific things i should be doing? how much should i aim to be lifting? i use 3kg dumbells for my xtrain dvd but i assume they are not heavy enough? what kg should i up to?

when you say loos skin, does that mean it will never go unless i sell everthing i own and get surgery? if i'm sounding silly, i just have absolutely no idea! thanks.

I've gone from 157lbs to 137lbs but my goal weight is 120lbs -I want to lose this in four months. I would also love to read how others have achieved this :)
