i fricken love this, such an inspiration for me

Only joined today so I'm doing day one and two together..here's to not being able to climb stairs tomorrow hahaa (:

I fit the description (: anyone feel free to add me (:

Thanks very much for all the great replies! My mum also tells me youth is on my side haha! I'm mixing cardio and weight training and toning/conditioning exercise in the hope that it keeps me from looking like I'm melting! At the same time plenty of people have lost 50lbs and havent had a huge issue with excess skin but…

I swear this is something I almost have nightmares about, I've also recently become vegetarian (and if anyone notices the three bits of cod in my diary in the past few weeks, i am weening myself off it) so i'm worrying about the likes of protein and have started something I have never done before, TRX cable workout and…

I can only image how attractive that must be...a bit of muscle and toning is good!

oh i see! yeah my gym is strategically placed across the road from mcdonalds and never felt the urge when coming out after a work out haha! i understand what you're saying as i do really just eat when i feel hunger, i don't eat for the hell of it and don't really have an issue with boredom/comfort eating!

what's the skinny fat look? :/

aww tooliebell throws a spanner in the works! i know everyone's different and now im thinking I'll be okay exercising on what I consume! i'll have to find a compromise of the two! eating back some exercise calories or trying boyh methods and seeing what works congrats on your weightloss!

i actually do count walking as exercise, that's why I log it...I do know of someone on this who logs brushing her teeth......lol! I love walking and i'm fortunate to live on beautiful coastline so it's never boring! when I say I do the odd walk it literally is once per fortnight whereas it used to be a good 5-7 mile brisk…

Thanks very much for the advice! I shall start with eating back what I burn (: Your ticker shows a tremendous weight loss! well done :smile: :smile:

I became vegetarian just a few weeks ago! and i have been totally veggie (despite a few bits of cod) but I am cutting out the fish totally too! I became vegetarian for health reasons! i'm not one of these people that believes humans are not supposed to eat meat, I just think people eat too much meat! Years ago, the…

Sorry for not responding sooner, the replies are amazing! Thanks very much! I might get my cholesterol checked and if its not sky high ill keep eating my eggs! And yes, I am a vegetarian that eats eggs...to the only person that said. I don't eat meat for health reasons, so although I am a crazy animal lover that's not…

it wont look any different there's just like 3 centimeters of zip that wont go, i can hold it together i just cant get the zip up. It's a really lovely dress that is actually really flattering and by the time i get my hair nails and eyelashes done i wont be up for buying another one. im eating what i find to be a really…

hmm my aim is really double that

thank you all for your advice! think I may just dig the smoothie maker out and mix up some fruit, yogurt and something like flaxseed! thanks all (:

yeahh see i've heard this! my boyfriend had to harden himself to his protein shakes (i know thats not what im looking for) the first day he had one he drank and just as he went to go to the gym had really really bad sickness and runs and for some reason he kept torturing himself to get used to them and it worked a little…

N. Ireland WOOOOOOP

woot graze is the best! i think maybe i just see a packet of noodles or something that has less then 1% fat and then that's work sorted! all i have in work is a kettle and a fridge so its hard to make healthy stuff at home and then heat it up, also doesn't help that i work in the upper side and all shops and cafes round…

I really appreciate the advice (: thank you so much!!!

diary is now public! and i am 5ft 5! i am absolutely horrific at drinking water. I actually have to take prescribed re hydration powders at least 4-5 times a year because it gets so bad. I am never ever ever thirsty! i could drink at most half a glass of water per day and be fine! it's something I've actually had a…

every 1-2 weeks ): i've actually only started taking measurements so hopefully it will help as I've recently bought TRX Suspension cables to help with some toning! my lowest weight was 125 lbs so i literally have like 170lbs to lose so it's not even the last few, if it was I maybe wouldn't be so annoyed but i've still got…

warm it up a little and add some honey and lemon juice (: or drink herbal or green teas as a replacement (:

nightmare of an exercise challenge. nobody should be doing plyometric workouts if they are unfit. i.e jumping jacks and anything that really requires you to jump and come back down. if people are not in good physical shape and I mean from an exercising point of view things like the 100 workout can really damage joints or…

yeah I'm the same I have 5 tattoos atm but I really want a piece down my ribs and I'm not doing that until I reach my goal of 125lbs :D i'm not really into belly-button piercings they're kinda common but I think I will get one as a reward in the new year, just because it won't be gross to show it off haha (:

maybe if you eat foods a bit higher in calories and fat etc so even though you're eating less frequently you wont dip down below your recommended! try omelettes, add some syrup or something to your porridge, soups, i personally devour mashed potato when i have a bad throat haha! i unfortunately want to give advice but a…

legend.

omg that's the most insane thing i've ever heard. do you blindfold yourself as you eat? if you don't want the advide go cry on some other site, like caloriecount or something. and who's the jerk?

how can your BMR be that low? are you using the schofield equation? it should be in the 2000's

you are eating farrrrr to little, a 56 year old male that needs to lose 70 something lbs? by not even knowing your stats or anything im guessing your BMR is around 2600 cals per day, just to keep ticking, therefore with an absolute maximum of a 1000 daily deficit you should be aiming to be consuming 1600 cals per day. i am…
