5'8 I weigh 217lbs currently im generally a UK size 16

my main problem is when i walk my dog. i get ALOT of kids going out of their way to try wind up my dog/screaming at my dog etc. now that mixed with me being very protective of my dog since kids round my area have purposely tried hurting him in the past (i live in a pretty bad area) and me just generally not liking kids too…

thanks ladies :) you've been a big help! @justsomerando your start weight of 140 looks like what im kind of aiming for if im honest! and thanks for the tip @mommy8777 ill have a peek :)

you either just deal with your calorie amount or exercise to bring your calories up

thats actually brilliant news! less weight to shed :D yaay

im 5'8 started 242 current 214 GW 126-140 (whichever puts me in a uk size 10) :)

i cant believe that you've only lost 5lbs and the difference is so amazing! good job keep it up

:drinker: :flowerforyou:

how tall are you? :)

aw thats awful i know how that feels and im sure we have ALL been there but atleast your taking the move to decide to try sort it out now! im sure you will do brilliantly dont be too hard on yourself! things like this happen you will be fine:) good luck with your journey!

nah i dont bother tracking calories those are my days off!

this room is absolutely disgusting who could live somewhere like this?! eurgh god only help whats growing in that room :|

ive read before that you can log breast feeding in the food section? ive not had kids so i dont know what it does but you should log breastfeeding maybe n see what changes?

you look ABSOLUTELY AMAZING just curious did you have any problems with excess skin at all? x

jeez!! now thats a change and a half :O

clothes and clothes..and clothes!

Exactly the same as you laine I just (tmi warning maybe) went for a wee and sitting down burnt my legs aha:'( my ribs are killing too I've been told loads that the pain goes away soon so I can't wait for that cos Oooh god this is horrible:( can't wait for day 30 to come:D so worth the pain

id just carry on from day 15 :) i think level 1 is just to build up your fitness surely your fitness hasnt completely gone away for abit of a break

we'll get through this together! you know were both in the same boat i gave up recently but im back now i need motivation too :) we can do 30ds together and thats a starter atleast! xx

yeah my age is 20 :) but yeah ive changed my goal from 126 to 130 now! and if i get to my goal before then happy days:P

Ive changed my goal weight to 130 now just a generalisation from whats been said and the sorta lowest most people would aim for obviously if i get to my desired size before 130 then im going to stop! but still thank you for all your help everyone :flowerforyou:

i totally hear you! and you make a really good point i dont know im just looking for a general answer i guess which is what i seem to of got unfortunately i cant go for a gym membership :( but ill look into online calculators:D

really?! i cant tell you how happy that makes me! but yeah i know well ive never been thin so 126 was an estimation on what i guessed i would have to be to get into a UK 10 not a realstic goal so dont worry! but 140 may be my new goal now:) which is great cause it means i have alot less to lose :P haha well size you are a…

well since you guys think 126lbs is too low what do you guys think would be a good weight for a 5'8 girl aiming for a UK 10/US 6 ?

really? do you guys think so? just so you all know this isnt based on anything i just guessed a weight its subjected to change im more aiming for a clothing size than a weight cause every girl ive ever seen thats a UK size 10 looks nice and slim but not TOO THIN and look a standard normal size so thats why im aiming for…

ive checked and 126lbs is still in the healthy BMI rage for a woman of 5'8 i would definitely not even have that as an option if it was underweight dont worry!

ah i seeee so id probably have to go lower than 150 then to reach my UK size 10/US size 6 goal then

my huge amount of problems with my fitbit has got to the point of where im just sending it back because ive just genuinely had enough!

i was in this mindset not too long ago but as months went on it got harder but everyone is different so this may not be the case for you good luck :flowerforyou:

well i got my original question answered that it does nothing for your metabolism so thats all i wanted
