The last bit is so difficult, I know myself I was at the last few lbs a few weeks ago but I just tweaked my calories and cycled between higher and lower. I just had laparoscopy this week and for it I had to go on liquid diet, then I cheated and felt sick, put on 3lb and when I weighed myself this morning I have gone down…

WOW! That's a brilliant loss! You look like a different person, you should be so proud of yourself!:smile:

I think this is great advice and well explained in laymans terms!

I agree with this. Try eating back at least some exercise calories(especially for cardio). When I exercise a lot I always eat extra. Try eating more protein and if it doesn't work you can always go back to 1200 but I have heard from several sources that if you eat at a large deficit for too long, you will keep metabolism…

Jennifer Aniston she is so lean.

I know the feeling. Don't worry about it, just get back on track and maybe lower carbs and drink more water for a few days(I am really going to follow my own advice as I went totally mental the past few days myself!) Best of luck to you. Keep trying. Some of it could be water weight!

OMG! I am in exactly the same place as you. I am 125.5lb and 5ft 3, having lost 28lbs and my husband told me this morning not to lose any more weight, he said I need to maintain. Problem is that I have been carried away with the calorie counting so much that I have been skipping the strength training and doing more cardio…

I am just about at my goal weight now and everyone is telling me I don't need to lose more weight. But I am more concerned with toning. By the sounds of things, you have been doing enough strength training etc that you must be lean and toned. I can only advise you to be less strict with the calories and be really concerned…

If you have eaten anything and everything for 2 months and put on 7lb its not that bad. It could have been worse...you could have avoided the scales for more than a year, ate buckets of ben & jerrys and put on 3 stone+- But you didn't do that. You are back in action now. You know what you have done and although you have…

OMG that's amazing, you have lost half of your former self. Those bikinis look brilliant on you- loving the supergirl one. You should be so proud of yourself!:smile:

I know I am obsessing right now but I have days I go out and eat and drink all the wrong things and would never make myself sick or anything. But I do think I have to stop talking about food at work because everyone is starting to tell me I'm losing too much weight and am becoming insane about it. I wanted to see how much…

You can add me I'm on it more than once a day and track the good and the bad! Good Luck!

Could you get on one of those Tanita Body Composition Analysers? I joined the gym this week and they put me on this(like a scales with a printer). It works by putting a current through your body(don't feel it) and measures how much water you have. So its not 100% accurate but its a start. Muscle holds more water than fat…

WOW, you have done so well, congratulations!:smile:

They change for me a lot but lately I am into looking at: Ryan Gosling(definitely when the top comes off in Crazy,Stupid,Love) Josh Henderson(get my fix of him once a week watching Dallas) Someone commented on Jessie Pavelka(yum) But the man of the moment for me has to be Henry Cavill(soon to be the new Superman). No harm…

add me!:smile:

You look amazing! Such a brilliant transformation! Congratulations!

WOW! You look like a different person. Well done!

I have a few of them- a pink dress from forever 21(most of their clothes are tiny). I can get into it now and zip it but there is about another half stone to go before it will sit right around the middle. I bought it without trying it on and the tags are still on it. Also a few pairs of jeans- just hate being pear shaped-…

So bold just ate half a cadbury easter egg shell along with a half bottle of wine. Well my hubbie and I shared the egg and he got the bigger bits. I got one medium cadbury creme egg easter egg and said Id half the egg with the hubbie so works out at 265(half shell) and 180 cals(one creme egg) each= 445 cals. I was meant to…

You said it so well girl!

That's very strong. I don't believe dairy is the cause of all of those ailments.

Amazing progress!

I've just started too. Legs and abs hurting bad tonight but workouts not that bad so far. Only done 2 days. Heard that from week 3 it gets much more difficult. She is very good though, her voice doesn't annoy me. My hubbie is doing P90X and that guy's voice just goes through my brain. Some of the things he says make me…

All of your transformations are incredible! Its great to see people who were overweight and now look like fitness instructors(some probably are!) Some of you are completely ripped! Gives me hope I can do it. I am 5ft 2 and 1/2- Yes the 1/2 matters so much to me too. I am using MFP properly since mid Jan approx and have…

Sorry you had a rough week. I hope it only gets better from here.:smile: I think this recession in Ireland will never end and all we have lately is cold, rain, rain. I think we have SAD syndrome from lack of sunlight. Well, I am trying to keep going by laughing as much as I can(because if I didn't I would just cry). Its…

Thank you for the explanations. Makes more sense now. :smile:

At first, maybe try finding out calories burned then put them in where you put food notes. See how you feel after a week and if the weight is coming off. If you are stalling or you are very hungry and tired, then try eating more. If you are doing a lot of strenuous exercise like spinning class or insanity or P90X, your…

I added you too, my diary is open and I've even logged my terrible Paddy's Day diet yesterday.

Added you too. The more friends the merrier! Especially if diaries open for food inspiration.
