You are EXACTLY where I was in April right down to that horrible double digit increase and the freak! 3mths later and I have taken 6lbs back off; decreased my body fat; increased my lean body mass and BMR; and most important of all - my measurements are now the lowest they have ever been! I am now happily losing slowly &…

Bump! Will try and get my head round this extremely informative post later. This has been annoying me for ages - so thank you all!

Look at you! You are seriously gorgeous and an inspiration. Well done J. :flowerforyou:

Thank you for writing about your experience. It is enough to convince me to look into volunteering at one of my local hospices.

Yes please! ALL help is greatly appreciated - thank you! I am halfway (hopefully!) thru my first ever metabolism reset and I am blinding myself with HUGE "eat" numbers without feeling that I have a complete grasp of too high/low and just right?! I have tried every TDEE calculator I can find and my averages across them all…

Bump - and many thanks for taking the time to compile this list of recipes.

Bump and thanks so much for the excellent recipes!

Thank you soooo much for building this spreadsheet. I for one will be forever in your debt.

You lot sound like you really know what you are talking about - so glad I found you cos I could do with some expert help. Following lovely 6mth steady 1lb loss now hit 2mth plateau at same average intake of 1800. Pretty certain I need to reset. Spreadsheet analysis of 8 months of my own MFP and Fitbit numbers points…

You are forgiven :-) (great confession!)

You have done an amazing job and you are sooo right to be enjoying your new body! The Doctor's results confirm that it is doing ALL the right things. Perfect time to move the scales down from top priority and make fitness your number 1. Enjoy the head turning when you walk by confidence - big smiles!

I too was pretty happy with my life 35lbs ago. After more than five years of no loss I was even beginning to think that I didn't really want/need to lose - I just needed to get my head round the size I was AND find a style that suited me. Plump and happy was obviously what I was meant to be. 15lbs down - for the first time…

Thanks for posting this topic - I may not be there yet, but "Bump" for Summer 2013 - losing is going well but maintenance is the bit that scares me. You lot all sound like you are all getting the hang of it - my heros!:flowerforyou:

Excellent! Another Scot who beat Hogmanay. Am proud of you. :drinker:

Thank you for this thread.:flowerforyou: Bump for future reference.

You look amazing AND 10 years younger!!!

What a truly brilliant NSV. Enjoy your jeans!!!!

Bump for future reference....cant wait to tell people Ihave lost a small bale of hay!:drinker:

You look amazing and super healthy! Enjoy your new self, and congratulations :flowerforyou:

Thank you so much for sharing your story and your pictures. Your boyfriend is one lucky man! Hope you get that airport hug soon. :flowerforyou:

Glad you asked the question - it's been bothering me for a while cos I keep reading that you MUST eat your exercise cals back.....I do, but usually not on the same day as I make them up.... I always eat a minimum of 1200 a day but dont tend to eat back my exercise calories - especially at the beginning of the week. Giving…

Good reminder - thank you! :laugh:

Look amazing - must try!

Feel free to add me. We all need friends!! :smile:

Try using/refering to weekly graph rather than the daily one. I regularly go wayyyy over - I want a life that doesnt make me feel deprived otherwise I know I wont be able to keep it up and maintain. I have been using MFP for 95+ days now and I dont have a single week graph that doesnt have some impressive red at some point…

Ipad and iphone have an app. I beleive android does as well. However if stuck - you can log in over the internet on the tablet and either bookmark the page or even better save it to your homepage - works like an app, just tap to get in. Good luck!

Wow! Seriously worth watching.:happy:

Bump - for an inspirational read later...... Well done everyone!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

You are a star and an inspiration. :flowerforyou:

With you on that one! A magic button....what a truly brilliant idea!
