SW 159 CW 155 Same as last week - still on 155lbs.

Sw 159 Cw 155 Doing 5:2 fasting and 30 day shred. Really pleased 😊

Starting weight - 160 January starting weight - 158.2 January goal - 153 Ultimate goal - 135 Week 1 - 158.2 Week 2 - 156.2 Jan 21st - Jan 28th - Total loss for January - 2lbs

I am starting 5.2 today as I have about a stone to lose... I struggle to keep the weight off and don't want to yo yo so I hope I can work my way to a sustainable balance in time.

Today I fitted into size 10 (UK) jeans for the first time in about 15 years!

I've been doing 5:2 for a few weeks now and this week just went wrong - both my faat day attempts ended up being over (800 & 900) so I had started to mentally beat myself up about it. So glad I read this today - now I can just try again tomorrow.

Lost 3lbs so far in June! So pleased that I am getting back on track. One of the best things - my 'weight in 5 weeks' info when I closed my diary today actually said my goal weight! So close!! Downside is that my exercises now burn fewer calories than they did (according to mfp database). :happy: :happy: :happy:

SW: 154 CW: 140 (that's today!) GW: 135 I am going to use a combination of 30 day shred and walking to do it. I want to lose 5lbs this month and get back on track...good luck everyone!

What an amazing daughter you have! OP: be kind to yourself, try and be around positive people who love you & keep going xx

I was thinking the same thing - you light up a room! Massive congratulations on the weightloss :happy:

Roasted broccoli is the nicest by far. Sometimes I drizzle over natural yoghurt mixed with lemon juice and spices (whichever I feel like - sometimes thai mix or russian tmin for example) and then roast it and that takes it to another level.

Definitely go on you tube and find workout videos - the 30 day shred is on there and that is very effective! I did it just in my living room so it can be done in a small space with water bottles or tins of soup for weights.

In the UK you can buy quick cook bulgar wheat and red quinoa mixed together (10 min cooking time) which is really nice. (I got it from tesco so probably available in other supermarkets too). I was also making caramelised spicy sweet potato and just stirred in the cooked wheat/quinoa mix into the cooking pan to pick up the…

I use impact whey protein from myprotein.com - I bought banoffee flavour but it is a bit too sweet for me so I mix it with milk and add to coffee instead of sugar.

I've just bought banoffee flavour whey protein so really interested to see what ideas people have...so far I've just added it to coffee.:drinker:

I've just bought some impact whey protein powder from myprotein.com because I'm finding it so hard to get enough protein just from the mfp macros!

Funniest and best before and after story EVER!

Your clothes can see it! You can FEEL it! Do you have any before pics you can compare with? That's helped me when I couldn't see much change at first. You have lost so much weight and you are doing so well - you still have your mojo - it's like someone looking for their glasses when they are on their head!!! As for your…

It can be so exhausting having a young child so well done for making that change. Walking is great exercise and there are free workouts on you tube that can be done in 20 mins. Weights are a good way to change your body and can be done at home. I wish you all the best & hope your knee heals soon xx

Morrocan tomato salad with cumin or tomato soup with basil are both yummy.

For me I am trying to change my lifestyle so that I am healthier rather than being on a diet. Part of life is going out with friends so I say find a way to make it work if it is only the fear of calories stopping you.

You could buy smaller loaves if you're not eating up a larger one. Also freezing bread helps and you can toast it from frozen on most toasters.

Lots of great suggestions on here....I sometimes make cous cous up with some stock, spices, walnuts, dried apricots, feta etc....whatever I have and that's made a good packed lunch because it gets less soggy.

If you walked 2 miles in 40 mins then you walked 1 mile in 20 mins and 3 x 20 = 60 (& 60 mins = 1hr) so you walked at 3 mph. If you walk 1 mile in 15 mins then that is 4 mph etc...(because there are 4 x 15 mins in an hour...) I've installed endomondo but the gps missed out the first 0.5 miles of my walk so didn't calculate…

I got The dance machine - Richard Simmons - not heard of him but then, before this summer could not name a single trainer!!

Really amazing change and you look beautiful! Congrats on such a good job :happy:

I had szechuan prawns the other day and it wasn't too bad calorie-wise (avoid crispy stuff as it is deep fried / battered) :smile:

Definitely this!!! Men are often clueless about ladies sizes - that is a simple fact of life and you can't feel bad about it- beside you had sushi and any day with sushi can't be all bad :happy:

I tend to have a pint of squash instead or go on mfp :-)

So glad you started this topic because my scales haven't moved for 9 days....my measurements also haven't moved so I don't have that as a comfort either. I'm going to check my sodium and not worry until I go a month with no loss. Thanks everyone :smile:
