I'm very similar, 5ft 5 and currently 137.2 aiming for 125. I've just restarted my weight loss journey so please add me if you want a buddy.I'm female, 29 and in theUK

Matti2 what you wrote is lovely!

Feel free to add me. I did my elimination in June-August and have just finished reintroduction

Really helpful, thank you x

I have it, and I've just finished the FODMAP restriction diet. It has really helped and I have identified new triggers as well as well as learning what amounts I can tolerate. It's a challenge but so is having horrible IBS

I need to wash my hair everyone I workout too (c.5 times a week) I use a gentle shsmpoo/conditioner and I use a hair oil on the ends. I try to towel/air dry it as much as possible before using the hairdryer and I don't use straighteners often. I have fine greasy hair though, perhaps if your hair is a different texture you…

Please add me!

I have it, and it took me a long time to see a great hypnotherapist/therapist/cbt person. I'm not perfect and I still have binge days, but the binges are smaller and less frequent. I find by logging them on here it helps me to accept and move on, and my pals on here are so supportive when it does happen. Good luck and feel…

What's vitafiber syrup? Can I sub maple syrup?

I've tried to add everyone! I'm 29, 5 ft 5 and lost 40 lbs in 2009 but have gained a little since then. My goal is around 125 as I have a very small build, and my body fat % is 31% so I want to reduce that down too ☺

Feel free to add me! I'm 29 and CW 138 and 5 ft 5. Goals are to get fitter and get down to 120-125 but also reduce bf% down from 31%

Feel free to add me- I'm 29, London based. CW 138 and hoping to get to 120-125 depending on my body fat %

Firstly, any changes need to be done with a medical professional IMO. That said, I've just finished the restriction phase of the Low Fodmap diet and the bloating has really improved. Have a look and discuss with your doctor.

I'm doing every morning, first thing and taking an average of the week (fri-thurs). I find weighing every day makes it more routine, like brushing my teeth rather than getting anxious about the reading. Some people find it can make them obsessed- see what works for you

I'm following it at the moment and I am at the end of week 8, so about to begin reintroduction. It has definitely helped me, there's been a market improvement. Most of the Low Fodmap food is healthy- veggies, fruit, lean protein etc but you still have to watch portions and it isn't healthy to restrict for so long. I found…

I'm in!

I'm trying to lose my last 10lb or so, I'm currently 137.5lbs and looking to get to about 125 lbs. I'm 5 ft 5 with a small build, aiming for 0.5 lb a week or so. Feel free to add me!

So interesting to see! I'm 5ft 5, 137.5 lbs and having around 1400 cals a day to lose slowly whilst trying to eat more protein and doing weights 2-3 times a week, cardio 1-2 times a week. I gain very easily at over 1800 a day. Always on the lookout for a new buddy or two if anyone wants to add me?

I'd love to find my twin, but happy for any new friends :) Female 27 yrs 5ft 5 small build approx 30% BF CW 135.2 lbs GW 125 lbs Just started weightlifting 3 times a week with HIIT cardio 2 times a week, looking to lose BF and get from flabby to toned

Hey, I would try weighing your food and see if that helps. I find if I don't weigh my foods I underestimate and go over my allowance.

Hi I'm 5ft 5 and currently 131 lbs. I started to lose weight in 2009 at 175 lbs and now need some support to get to my final goal of 125lbs. Please add me!

There's a recipe on here for guacamole stuffed chicken that was delicious. I am doing chicken stuffed with low fat cheese and wrapped in parma ham for a family birthday meal this week.

Great websites, thanks for sharing. I like www.bbcgoodfood.com they have a healthy section but all the recipes are easy to tweak if you want to

Steak with roasted vegetables; brown lentils and basil, feta and cherry tomatoes- quick and delicious!

So true. I met my husband when I was 40 lbs heavier than I am now, and Igot mydegree. Why delete photos from an incredible time of my life? I think yourfriend has their own issues about image and weight.

Thanks for the replies. I'm still a bit confused behind the science of how lifting will help lose the excess bodyfat, is anyone able to explain to me please?

Incredible! Congrats on your hard work and great achievement

So did you go below your long term goal weight to lose the fat and now gain the muscle? Thanks for the replies, I think my BF% could be closer to 35% and I have a small build so I do think I need to lose a little weight (fat)- or surely the muscle definition won't show??? Or have I got it wrong?

These sound great, look forward to trying them out
